Alhazred posted:There's also no mentioning of trans women. he just automatically assumes that reader is trans phobic enough to get the point. Taken on it's own it's just a really bad motivational speech. Yeah, this is what struck me most about this cartoon. If you weren’t already in the headspace that trans women in sports is a constant, overwhelming threat that forever stops women from achieving, then this cartoon makes no sense. You literally need to have you first reaction to hearing about women’s sports be “loving [slur against trans people]!!!!!” to not have to puzzle about it until you understand the point. skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Feb 19, 2022 |

IDK what it says about me, but my first assumption was "This is a comic against trans people". Probably that conservatives have like a three track mind, and this is one of the tracks.

Transphobes are also being very misleading about the Lia Thomas thing, because another trans swimmer, Iszac Henig, is ALSO setting records. But Henig is a pre-HRT trans man. So…by their logic Henig should not be setting big records and dominating the sport. So they use misleading headlines of “trans swimmers clobber the competition” and then bury Henig’s status as a trans MAN in the article. It’s lovely but not surprising.

A Good Cartoon Somfin posted:Is "Russia is totally gonna invade" the new "Iran is totally finishing their nuclear warheads?" "Trump is going to go to prison for his crimes" is the new "Iran is totally finishing their nuclear warheads." I'm not saying whether Russia will invade or not because hell I dunno and I'm not going to pretend I know anything about the situation over there to even guess, but I don't think it's comparable to "Iran finishing their warheads" because there's actually Russian troops on the border of Ukraine, like all Putin has to do is just give the word and they could invade at any second. That's very different from "Maybe Iran is secretly making weapons grade uranium but there isn't really any proof of that."

Yeah, part of it is that it's inconceivable to them that anyone would want to be a woman. Either you're born a guy and you congratulate yourself on winning the biological gender coin toss, or you're born a woman and consider yourself lucky that you're allowed to vote but otherwise accept your lot in life.

Fun fact: gas (petrol, if you’re nasty) grades do not necessarily mean better performance or efficiency. The grade pertains to octane levels, which is a more stable compound that combusts when intended, as opposed to heptane (I think it is) which may spontaneously combust earlier, causing engine knock. Now in the old days, this may have just been unavoidable (I am not a big car nerd, so feel free to correct me), so this may be where the gas types got their “premium” naming since all engines benefited from high-octane fuels. Nowadays, engines are designed to compensate for knock, meaning higher octane doesn’t do much, if anything. But since higher octane doesn’t hurt the car, gas stations keep the premium labeling because hey…why not pretend it’s higher quality to get you to spend more? Capitalism is a disease. The opposite is NOT true: if your engine needs high-octane fuel then using lower grade fuel can damage the engine and harm performance/efficiency. Again, not a car nerd, so these cars may be more niche for people like This has been your friendly lesson on fuel  Car geeks, feel free to correct me on anything.

Really sells the idea that six weeks of measures is the one thing that killed these restaurants.

The grade pertains to octane levels, which is a more stable compound that combusts when intended, as opposed to heptane (I think it is) which may spontaneously combust earlier, causing engine knock. This pretty much holds true. But one thing I'll add is that in the early days of car automobiles, when it was just pure gasoline, GM wanted to figure out a way to get rid of the knocking. They hired a chemist to figure out a way named Thomas Midgley who found that added lead to gas would stop of it. Of course, ethanol would too, but anyone could make ethanol, so GM went with the lead route. Humans have known since the Romans that lead has been bad for you, but hey - it was profitable! Of course, all the workers at the factory got lead poisoning, Midgley himself got it but still kept promoting it, and it wasn't until the 90s that we banned lead from gasoline permanently. Then if that wasn't enough, he went and developed freon, which ended up being an environmental disaster due to it's ozone depleting capabilities. Anyway, Thomas Midgley is one of history's greatest monsters.
