He's such a loving moron, its literally the opposite of the word trans. There's plenty of people who are happy to use the word to describe themselves.

I’m a pretty sensitive guy and that bugs me. But I can always reassure myself that my skin is not as thin as the worlds richest man.

They know it’s not a slur, they just hate any acknowledgment of trans existence, even if it’s a three letter adjective.

These same idiots absolutely got mad about "straight" when gay marriage was a political issue. Same logic and everything, "why do we need a word for 'normal'"?

Like you can argue it's not as bad as other slurs and nobody should care about it but by definition it's a slur, unlike cis and cisgender

Yeah there's garbage in the gutters but whose job is it to sweep the streets? "Old Italian men" according to the person in the car I guess. Surely not a city service that requires funding

You got people riding bikes, people waiting for buses, people getting luggage out of a car trunk, people shopping or crossing streets or doing chores. Looks like i dunno, a city or something

It's toe-tapping-ly tragic!


Here's my pitch for a reality survival show called The Cracker Barrel:

Take a soft terminally online chud like Benny Johnson, put him in a barrel, and drive around for a few hours so he doesn't know where he is. Drop him off in northwest Philly (which is where he is in the video), with no cell phone and only $10. He must get to the airport (southern-most point of Philly) within 24 hours. He can't talk to the camera crew. The bugout safe word is 'cis'

Are there typically limits on how much government agencies will spend on search and rescue operations per missing person? Aside from the outsized media attention this Titanic sub is getting, would the rescue effort be as big and costly if there were five non-billionaires missing in the same area?

i guess the lie would be: "However, we do not know how much Starlink is responsible for the loss of contact with the submersible, nor the reasons behind that loss of contact."

the first part is not true, we do know that starlink is not responsible for loss of contact with the submersible because starlink doesn't work underwater. the surface ship would use it, but not for anything related to tracking or communication with the underwater vehicle.

calling it a psy op is super paranoid though, it's a breaking story and the most likely explanation is whatever snopes writer or AI got assigned to fart out an article for clicks didn't know any better and had no time to do any research beyond looking at official tweets from the company.
