we have heard your dissent and claims that this is propaganda, and our solution was to add even more propaganda into it.

Arivia posted:I as a trans woman am okay with mocking Rebekah Mercer for finding lovely conservative and reactionary groups including a bunch of transphobes and am also okay with mocking her five head as part of pointing out that cis women can have them I almost took you seriously, but then checked your rap sheet which features "transphobia", "perpetuating misogyny and sexism", and "sexist comments". So I'm not willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. Fair point on "transgendered" though. Too bad you used it as a point to attack rather than to inform. "I'm trans and I say it's okay to belittle someone in a way that insults trans people and women in general." gently caress right off, Arivia.

It's weird cuz they also simulate the sort of "meltdown" someone unironically posting that would have (wasting their day defensively replying to everybody who tweets at them like this is a press conference) Aint you supposed to just sit back and enjoy all the people you caught in your net? Not that it's not fake, but still, that's some weird "trolling". Some real Mother Night poo poo going on on the internet.

baby blue, baby pink, white, baby pink, baby blue. when i wear it people see it as something very femme, which WOULD be fine, since being femme is fine and i'd actually like to present much more femme than i already do -- i wear pastels but would like to feel free enough to wear makeup -- but is, in practice, not fine for me because it leads to people misgendering me, an experience i do not enjoy. these are my personal reasons for feeling the way i do about the trans pride flag, as a trans man. it gives me pain and sorrow to compromise on my presentation as a concession to cis society but it also gives me pain and sorrow to be misgendered and this is where i currently stand. i hope that some day i can enjoy the trans pride flag more. thank you for explaining yourself. i stlll don't understand what your loving point was if it wasn't to insult me by saying i'd prefer a nazi flag, but i do appreciate that you provided an explanation at all. i hope you have a good day.

I'd like to ask everyone involved in this particular discussion - you know the one I mean - to drop it, since I'm not currently in a position to mediate, and I don't want to come back to this thread to see the aftermath of an ugly fight.

Since being outed as an abuser he's gone silent, so I don't think we're getting any of the "yes, these are shrimp tails that you put into the bag yourself" results from the lab. He really overdid it with the second bag being "resealed". Like, are you accusing someone of tampering with it, like the random Tylenol murders? Was it connected to the shrimp box, or a total coincidence? If someone was tampering in both cases, why did they go with putting shrimp tails in the unpackaged cereal, then rip open a bag? Are we supposed to believe a worker noticed, then resealed a bag, rather than tossing it like I imagine they do to tens of bags a shift?
