I heard he couldn't sweat either.

I'm going to start a campaign to make post birth abortions legal.

In other 'great' news: You don't have to be trans for the idea of using the woman's toilets to terrify people.

quote:

England and Team GB rugby international Heather Fisher has revealed she "dreads" using public toilets because she is frequently mistaken for a man.

The 2014 World Cup winner has alopecia and says she often has to explain to people "why she has muscles and no hair".

In an interview with BBC Sport, the 36-year-old said she has been confronted by police and has even "lifted her top up" to confirm her gender.

...

She has been locked in toilets, with police waiting outside, and once a hand reached into her cubicle, trying to push her out.

The 2016 Olympian, who has been named in Team GB's sevens training squad for this summer's Tokyo Games, has also been prodded with a broomstick.

She told BBC Sport: "If I'm at an airport I'll always have a team-mate come with me because I know there'll be police waiting or I'll get told 'this is a female toilet, get out!'

...

"I suppose I'm not your run-of-the-mill looking girl. That shouldn't even be a phrase but it is," she said. "I feel like it's affected the way people use me in the media or don't, because of the way I look.

Normal country.

If we ever manage to abolish the monarchy in the UK, there will forevermore be bizarre plots to install a King, because in the old days they had Kings and things were much better then. This may involve the summoning of dragons, the selection of a scrawny urchin to use as a puppet, or maybe a tall red-headed man living in a far off land who everyone knows is the rightful heir (hang on a moment...)

In the group they don't say white. It's either 'wheat', 'whyte', '6f' or just 2 wheat ear emojis.

Huh. In the US bread is 'white' or 'wheat', i.e. wheat = brown. I wish they'd standardise these things, like when they made all the milk bottle tops the same colours.

What does "Grepped" and "6f" mean? Grepped sounds like "brigaded" but with a very "cyberpunk" aesthetic so it could also mean "shot in the head"

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
White foreigners in Egypt are often referred to as khawaga. There are variations on what it means and whether it is 'respectful' or not.
Educated Egyptians will tell you it is meant as a term of respect. Ha. One of the definitions is "wheat face" and I've definitely had it said about me in my hearing in a non-respectful tone! (And see the bus driver's face when having commented something in Arabic along the lines of "where does the stupid wheat face think she's going" to a passenger, I replied loudly in my best Arabic "RmZEES inshallah" (stress on the ZEES which is where it belongs, not on the RAM which is where stupid wheat faces normally put it!

the anti-racist facebook group i joined to see what was going on seems a lot more tame at least. there was some impenetrable admin drama several months ago but that's about it. plus some thread where someone came to talk about their kid experiencing racial abuse at school and a bunch of (as far as I could tell) white people telling them to go to the police, which seemed an odd choice for a group founded in the wake of BLM but as a fellow clueless white i didn't feel qualified to weigh in on that can of worms myself

Years of SA have shielded my brain, not without it's own consequences of course.

The group owner Admin has purged the Asian admin for anti-blackness and the other 2 black admins for not being informed enough to banned the other admin first. We now have 3 new hand picked admins. Anyone else not agreeing that Gandhi was a white (?!?), racist paedophile will also be purged.

It's about the grep command a.k.a. the linux regular expressions parser, presumably found using wrong phrases on some sort of communication log or whatever.

No idea about 6f, I'm curious tho.

6f is FFFFFF, which is both a very boring guitar tuning (sorry Kim Thayil) and a hex code for displaying the colour white.

Beaten ofc, but seriously down with unison tunings that just lead guitarists to playing bad ragga impersonations. Just buy a sitar if you care that much, looking at you too John Cale

Yeah I do like 6F.

It may be to do with searching as they are incredibly paranoid about getting the group banned by FB. You're not allowed to use angry emotes because you'll get the group shadow banned. They also weaponise this when they want to, for example, tell a Swedish Yoga group they should not practice yoga because they're white you go and angry emote all their posts to their group will get shadow banned.

The posting is absurdly obsequious as well, like on one of the anti-racism units which was a series of Instagram screenshots someone posted, 'Thankyou for these gifts you are bestowing on us and for having the courage to perform the emotional labour'. That's the level of posting we need to get to in UKMT.

This. "Grep" fell into parlance on IRC as a generic term for searching through the chat log and extended to all Internet searches. I tend to use it because it's shorter than "search the Web" and more generic than "Google".

Yeah I joined the group because the guy in the my village asked me to so I'm just going to hang out in it. I didn't go out to find insane posting, I just happened upon it.

Maybe one day I will become a level 7 anti-racist and accept my existence is problematic. (That is a 100% real thing from the group, well stolen from Instagram for the group anyway).
