User Banned (5 Days): Insensitive Commentary Regarding Trans People; Concern Trolling

I never understood posts like this.

Okay, so you buy a gun, and the state tries to arrest you or make hormones or something similar illegal.

Do you just...start shooting the cops? Because I don't think anyone actually would do that, nor should they?

Trans/NB/GNC people are being murdered consistently already.

They aren't though...

The estimate for trans people in the US is 1.6 million. In 2023, 33 trans people were killed.  That's 0,0021 % getting killed.
The US population is 340 million. In 2023 18600 people were killed. That's 0,0055 % getting killed.

How can you claim to be in extra danger when your less likely to get killed than the national average? Am I doing the math wrong or something? I mean this is how we calculate whether minorities are being disproportionally shot by the police, right?

I will explain

this is the list of people killed

not the list of people who committed suicide

and every trans suicide is actually a murder caused by chelma raichick or whatever her name is

every anti trans bit of legislation makes them slightly sadder which increases their chance of suicide by 1% per microlegislagression, it is literally a stacking debuff

So... Sony and Insomniac partnered with a charity that supports underrepresented minorities in gaming. They're even releasing a dlc package where the money goes directly to that charity. The thing is, the dlc consists of two suits designed by the charity itself and they're so ugly even RE hates them

A lesser noted genre of crank bullshit for this journal but an important one, the Resetera  scots nationalists (yes they are nationalists), who hate the Labour party despite it being the only actual left wing party in the entire British isles, are currently embarrassing themselves on behalf of their tartan tory overlords, bending over backwards to explain away why the SNP have just colluded with the tories to try and set a trap for Labour only to completely fuck the job, throw a disgusting hissy fit, run away and try and work with the tories yet again to replace the speaker of the house of commons because he didn't do them a favour and split the Labour party for bullshit reasons.

They are not lefties. They are nationalists, and there is no such thing as civic nationalism.

Now you can get back to arguing over american things.

For a start you’d have to be an absolute fucking idiot to believe the Labour party are left wing. Those cunts haven’t been a left wing party since the 80s. The reason Labour still can’t get elected is because Blair and Brown betrayed everything the left stood for and Scotland has never forgiven them.

Next the SNP and the Tories didn’t fuckin “collude” with each other you daft cunt. The speaker fucked up the SNP’s motion and they walked out in protest followed by the Tories. They didn’t get together and plan it. The Tories followed them out because even those scumbags were outraged by the Speaker’s behaviour. 

Next, aye we are nationalists. It’s no a secret we’ve kept hidden from you. It’s right there in the name. We’re not lefties. We never claimed to be lefties. We want your fucking politicians out of our affairs. They’re a fuckin disgrace. They’ve run the country into the ground and if you can’t see what a disaster the last 30 years of New Labor/Tory rule have been for the country you deserve all you get. 

How about instead of always whining and crying about us trying to make our lives better. You focus on the useless cunts you voted for and hold them accountable for the state of your shite Parliament. Before you come back with aww but the SNP have done this and done that. I fuckin know. We all fuckin know. They’re far from perfect but at least they’re ours.

Details about this mischief below in spoiler for the nerds

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Chaos in the Commons: they stormed out and they didn’t even vote
Parliamentary machinations put MPs in an impossible hole. All it proved was how un-serious the House of Commons truly is

The long House of Commons debate on a ceasefire in Gaza began in earnest with an eight-minute monologue from Labour’s Chris Bryant regarding the Vienna Road Traffic Convention of 2018 and its implications for the weight differential between a fully loaded and an empty minibus.

It ended with the SNP storming out, half the Conservative Party following them, an emergency vote on whether or not to shut the place down and carry on in private, and with the Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, making an ashen-faced apology for his role in an afternoon and evening of furious chaos the like of which may never have been seen before.

Sadly, it’s impossible to explain how we ended up here without striding straight in to the weeds of Westminster parliamentary procedure. The SNP was using one of its rare “opposition day debates” to force the government and the Labour Party to vote on calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

But crucially, and knowingly, also describing Israel’s bombing campaign as a “collective punishment” for the Gazan people, a view that accuses Israel of breaking international law, and which Sir Keir Starmer will not permit his MPs to express.

And so, they know, and he knows, and they all know, they’ve been deliberately placed in an impossible hole. Opposition day debates get used in Westminster for this reason, all the time.

They get used to force government ministers to, say, vote in favour of bankers’ bonuses or pumping sewage in to rivers, which then get reduced to binary facts — dare one say, misrepresentations — that get written on election leaflets and shoved through people’s doors.

They all know it, they all understand it, they all do it. Perhaps they can now see that it is a ruse that has its limits? That sometimes the underlying subject matter is too sensitive?

That it leads to Bryant desperately seeking to delay the start of the debate by dragging out an innocuous ten-minute rule bill on the deregulation of driving licences for more than half an hour, while Starmer is locked in desperate discussions in a small room behind the Speaker’s chair, begging the Speaker to dig them out of the mess.

The mess, specifically, of about 80 of his own MPs, maybe ten of his front bench, not being able to vote against calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, quite possibly for the sake of their own safety.

And the Speaker obliged, in the end. When he eventually made it back to his chair, to shamefacedly announce he was breaking with parliamentary procedure and allowing the Labour Party to have its own amendment too, the place went wild.

But in so doing, it revealed its fundamental unseriousness. For a second, I didn’t quite get what was happening. The roaring seemed to come from a wholly new sound stage I had never heard before. It was quite possibly the first time in a decade that the government benches and SNP corner erupted in unison. They had Starmer on the ropes and the Speaker had let him off.

Hours of debate came and went. David Lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, suddenly secure in the knowledge he could now call for the kind of immediate ceasefire he wanted, and not the one the SNP wanted, read from a script so preposterously pompous he almost seemed, when it came to its soaring conclusion, to not actually want to say it.

SNP and Conservative MPs thought they had Starmer on the ropes, only to stalk furiously out of the chamberSNP and Conservative MPs thought they had Starmer on the ropes, only to stalk furiously out of the chamber

He called for parliament to speak with “one voice”, and, this really is verbatim: “To help these tragic children of the same land to find peace, in the beautiful Palestinian Palestine of tomorrow, and an Israel without tears, where the stones of Jerusalem shall finally be a city of peace.”

His colleague from the Rhondda Valley had managed a far greater eloquence while filibustering about HGV licences.

It hardly needs to be stated that calling for an “immediate ceasefire” implies a sense of emergency. It’s a term that comes from the battlefield. If you’d had to delay the call while you spew out random statistics about how you define the weight of a minibus, you are probably at least subconsciously aware of the fundamental pointlessness of what you’re up to.

The SNP’s Brendan O’Hara, who spoke for the motion, built to a rousing conclusion all about how “we” — by which he means the SNP — “will say that we chose to listen. We listened to the anguished pleas of innocent Palestinians begging for our help to make it stop. We listened to the anger of millions of people from across these islands.”

When he sat down, his party applauded. There’s no other way of interpreting it than that they gave an ovation to themselves.

None of that mattered much, in the end. Not long later, the leader of the House, Penny Mordaunt, swept in to announce the government was withdrawing its amendments to the motion. The Speaker had “undermined” the house, she said. He’d “hijacked” proceedings and embroiled them all in an internal Labour Party row.

It was then that events went fully crazy. It meant there would be no votes at all. The SNP wouldn’t be voting on its own motion, on its own opposition day, and the speaker had decided to send one of his deputies to explain why. Their leader, Stephen Flynn, went apoplectic. “Where on earth is the Speaker of the House of Commons?” he thundered, his two eyeballs bulging so far from his fully glabrescent head that it was hard to tell the three objects apart. “How do we bring him to this house now to explain to the SNP why our views and our votes are irrelevant to him?”

They all took it in turns to scream points of order. They demanded the Speaker return. When he didn’t, they stormed out. After they stormed out, he did return.

Hoyle’s view is that he bent the rules to “allow the house to express themselves on the widest range of propositions”. He was, he said, worried about MPs’ safety if they were put under pressure not to call for a ceasefire, when their constituents expected it of them.

But, in the end, no one got to express a view on anything. Paul Bristow, the Conservative MP for Peterborough, seeming furious almost to the point of tearfulness, pointed out that he’d had to resign in order to vote to back a ceasefire, and now he hadn’t been able to vote on it.

The Speaker apologised, over and over again, that he would be going away to “reflect” on what had happened. One thing he’ll have to reflect on is if there’s any way back from here.

What no one in Westminster managed to mention, is that they weren’t the only parliament debating such matters that afternoon. Over in Tel Aviv, the Israeli Knesset quietly announced it would never recognise a Palestinian state. That the “two state solution” is, as far as they’re concerned, finished.

That’s the kind of politics that actually has consequences. All the House of Commons managed to achieve is to teach itself a valuable lesson — you play with ceasefire, you’re gonna get burnt.

The 34 million number is kind of inflated.

Sea of Thieves is less dead than you might expect, peaks at about ~10k - 15k players on Steam daily but most of those 34 million players booted the game up once for a GamePass achievement and never played it again or have long dropped it for something else.

also, I keep seeing sentiment like this



so...she would've been safer if she'd been allowed to use the boy's bathroom, among a bunch of guys who probably don't see her as fitting in there?

I mean I guess the fact she was beaten up implies this would be true, maybe it wouldn't have happened if she was using the boy's bathroom, but isn't that the opposite of what you'd expect?

"for safety, we need to let women use men's restrooms?"

They were non-binary, so either bathroom is "correct" depending on how they feel in the moment. And apparently we're supposed to believe that other girl students took it upon themselves to enforce state law with vigilante justice. Notice how every "report" has zero interest in why the girls did this, we're supposed to just presume it was trans hatred even though girls doing violence like that is highly atypical.

We're also supposed to believe that boys are going to complain about a girl in their bathroom rather than that these laws/policies are only targeted at trans girls in the girls bathroom for obvious reasons.

Again, he's banning any discussion. He wants a thread of people just emoting about how angry they are at Trump. The only possible discussion is between people who think it doesn't rise to justifying genocide and those who it does. What does he want to see? People talking about how they're going to arm up in case Trump wins and they need to storm the Capitol?

This true detective night country discourse is weird. I thought it was fine, better than 2  but not better than 3 (obviously its not touching 1). It feels like some of the defenses of the season are people overcompensating because the original creator didn't like night country so they're saying stuff like night country revitialized the series which it didn't in my opinion. (whole thing screams of excessive defense because women ran this season)

Outside of personal taste, if you take a step back it’s another instance of a major Hollywood studio dicking over an artist and wearing their skin to sell a new product. It is a perfectly reasonable response for the artist to be upset over the happenings. Despite the shallow calls of protecting the artist from AI or Zaslav , these guys will always be cheerleaders for corporations and their interests.

And the trajectory of the discourse is intended. Could’ve been a new mini series called Night Country. Slapping True Detective on there with none of the creative team returning was more than playing on nostalgia.

They were so cancelled by the "right wing assholes" that their next album was a hit:

Taking the Long Way debuted at number one on both the U.S. pop albums chart and the U.S. country albums chart, selling 526,000 copies in the first week (the year's second-best such total for any country act) and making it a gold record within its first week, despite having little or no airplay in areas that had once embraced them. The Dixie Chicks became the first female band in chart history to have three albums debut at No. 1.

They were so exiled they swept the Grammy's:

In 2006, Taking the Long Way was the ninth-best-selling album in the United States. At the 49th Grammy Awards Show on February 11, 2007, the group won all five categories for which they were nominated, including the top awards of Song of the Year and Record of the Year, both for "Not Ready to Make Nice", and Album of the Year, for Taking the Long Way. Maines interpreted the wins as being a show of public support for their advocacy of free speech.[62] It had been 14 years since an artist had swept those three awards.[63]

I don't have any advice but I feel for you. We were straight-up lied to multiple times about what the financing was when we got my wife's vehicle and I remember being so angry the entire drive home when I started piecing together what happened. It's a quarter to midnight here and I'm getting mad right now remembering it, and it happened five years ago!

I don't want a bunch of service department technicians and receptionists to be out of jobs or anything but I do wish for some bad things to happen to the entire dealership system. There are definitely some laws protecting them and some laws making them required that need to be trashed (like laws banning manufacturers from selling directly to customers and from owning their own dealerships). Next car I buy is going to be from an online service.
