    Disturbing news in Canada - "Whites Only" signs posted

    Hopefully! But Poe’s Law is a thing. I’m reminded of the story a few weeks back when Evangelical leaders were apparently flabbergasted by their congregation questioning why they were “quoting liberal/woke bias” in their sermons when they were literally quoting Jesus Christ. The memes became a...

    Response to a post (About myself being Gender Fluid)

    Infrequent phenomenon. I mean I freely acknowledge that in this specific instance infertility is often the direct result of the syndrome. Because well hard to have a kid without ovaries. Installed or born with lol. But in need of fixing? I don’t actually consider being infertile an inherent...

    Prosecutors cite Trump’s supposed gun purchase as possible crime

    Oh! Thank you. From the reactions I keep seeing, I was honestly expecting something far worse (Not that I’m saying tax evasion isn’t bad, obviously. Just expected something like being a drug lord or something lol)

    Prosecutors cite Trump’s supposed gun purchase as possible crime

    Sorry help a non American out a little here, guys. What the hell did this Hunter bloke even do? Like the most I can find is something about some laptop? At least I understand why Trump is in trouble (I think??)

    Response to a post (About myself being Gender Fluid)

    I mean yeah that makes sense. Though I think the way the so called “rules” are interpreted are again very different for scientists vs laymen. Laymen seem to put a hell of a lot of stock into them (on both sides of this particular argument) But scientists in general don’t really seem to care as...

    Response to a post (About myself being Gender Fluid)

    Honestly? I don’t know Though I have noticed a rather marked difference in the usages of language between science types and layman. See what I’ve gathered by hanging out with science nerds for years is this. In general, science actually tends to use words a lot more “benignly” than what is...

    Best accents ever?

    I’ll agree with you there lol

    Best accents ever?

    Oh really? I think here the show is kind of viewed as kind of an “old Pom show” so the accents aren’t really expected to be authentic, per se. Like it’s “okay” to for an actor to be a bit cartoony. I didn’t really think about it until you mentioned it, but that’s interesting to think about

    Best accents ever?

    So as an Australian, I find it really fun to watch Americans/Brits react to videos such as “actors you never knew were Australian” for example I just find it kind of fun that many of our “true blue”actors seemingly convince wholeheartedly many folks with their acted accent. Typically American...

    Why EXACTLY is JK Rowling accused of being transphobic?

    Fair enough :shrug:

    Response to a post (About myself being Gender Fluid)

    You may have to ask an actual biologist that if I’m being honest lol My layman guess? Iirc my biology textbook correctly. Chromosomes impact the outcome of one’s sex characteristics (inside and out.) Never said otherwise. However, the chromosome is not the only factor and indeed it is not the...

    Why EXACTLY is JK Rowling accused of being transphobic?

    Hmm perhaps. I guess it kind of depends? So speaking of Rowling specifically. Say you are criticising her fiction as luring kids into Satanism or witchcraft. Thereby labelling her as an inherent bad influence for the youth. Why then would you praise her simply because she is being criticised...

    Why EXACTLY is JK Rowling accused of being transphobic?

    Admittedly I was being somewhat facetious. Sorry, I realise that might not always come across in text form lol Well I know some folks who only refer to their “birth mothers” as and I quote “glorified vehicles.” For…various reasons let’s just say. So it can go either way, depending on the...

    Why EXACTLY is JK Rowling accused of being transphobic?

    Having known folks who were raised by single mothers and single fathers who indeed played both roles enthusiastically, I say a pox on your house ;) Like give me a break. I know plenty of motherly men. :p They’re arbitrary made up roles anyway. Who cares? No but in all seriousness, my 70+ year...

    Why EXACTLY is JK Rowling accused of being transphobic?

    I think it’s far more telling that the very people who were once accusing Rowling of “corrupting kids” with witchcraft and even gay relationships in her fiction have now embraced her because she’s been “cancelled.” And she goes along with it willingly. Sorry, but that says far more about...

    Response to a post (About myself being Gender Fluid)

    I dunno. I remember back in my high school biology class there was an distinct effort made to make us understand that chromosomes aren’t actually used as a definitive characteristic of sex outcomes (for lack of a better phrase.) It’s a characteristic sure, one that can certainly inform the...

    Would you vote for the other party if..

    I don’t vote for parties, per se. We have preferential voting here in Australia That said, I do often “vote” for third parties. The Greens and I’ll admit that when I was a teenager I voted for the Sex Party (now called the Reason Party) mostly because I found it funny lol. And yes, that’s...
