I... just... what the gently caress is wrong with people that would make them say/post poo poo like this to another human being?

As one of like three goons who actively studied queer studies, Limeham is obviously full of poo poo. Queer theory tends to be very focused on abstract, complex ideas meant to capture the mechanisms, history, and cultures behind queer sexuality. In pragmatic terms, this translates to a lot of discussion heavy classes, where you spend the night (or hour) before reading a few dozen pages on queer masculinity in Thailand or whatever, followed by a solid hour+. Even in lower level, intro courses with 100+ students (my school had a diversity credit which I think accounted for ~60 of those in the class, most of whom get their rear end kicked in what was supposed to be easy A :V) there's going to be like 50% discussion. As much as possible professors would make sure to keep things safe, and there were always really strict expectations on not taking things out of the class. Students would indeed frequently talk about things they'd never say to their parents, and I have to say the discussions in those rooms would always be critical for students to understand; trying to not have it be a closed space would be like teaching chemistry without a vent hood or PPE.

If I had to do that with my parents in the room I wouldn't have even bothered. The program itself was probably 80%+ queer/trans and I literally never had a problem transitioning or changing my name while there.

(If you get a chance I'd suggest anyone take the course, but do be aware 90 pages tying the history of underseas cable routes to the Atlantic slave trade and how it informs modern concepts of the colonized global south online is just as much a pain as any STEM poo poo. Nobody's invented a gender graphing calculator :P)

Do they really call it "queer" studies? That's like saying "friend of the family" or "tranny" studies, why would any academic institution reclaim a slur like that?

I once befriended an old Trans woman in her late 60's (this was already about a decade ago) who got her vaginoplasty and breast implants in the 70's or 80's, I mean early pioneer type poo poo. Anyway, besides the point. The first day I show up to her house, she has boxes stacked floor to ceiling, perfect fit, of FOX "News" on VHS, I mean were talking back to early 80's, and that she would sit in her small box filled living room watching old recordings of FOX "News". All those VHS tapes made for excellent insulation, the small AC would keep the living room cool in the summer and the heat of the tapes and boxes would keep it warm in the winter. Shes sitting in a recliner and I sit down next to her a light up a cigarette. Surprised we never burned the place down with all the packaging. We shoot the poo poo for a little bit and then she looks at me and says "MageMage, there are people in other countries that would like to KILL YOU right now. Oh yes, if they found out you were American, slice you from ear-to-ear" and I'm looking at her, and she has this smile on her face like she is posing for a picture. Turns out she was very old fashioned "can't stand brown skin" racist and that was her favorite subject. I mean, when we were out in public, it would be casual conversation to the person at the checkout, or a stranger at the grocery store.

She was deep into FOX "News" but the more I hung out the more she slowly started going through her boxes and actually getting rid of a lot of them. Her ideology didn't change. When proposition 8 was a thing in California she felt that marriage was between a man and a woman and gay people had to do domestic partnerships because "it's the same thing". was appalled at the idea of the government paying for transgender health. Felt that trans people shouldn't "invade" "women's spaces". We actually ended up not being friends anymore when Trump won office because she ended up getting so toxic and striking up these conversations with acquaintances connected on my social media. But I put up with lot of toxic trans people who fought their own betterment in my day, I never discriminated to those who needed help. She's one small example, but they exist. Anyone can be vulnerable.

Anyway, I'll have a baconator with extra mayonnaise please.

Fox News didn't exist in the 80s.

I'm sorry, I didn't check every VHS

Cow's milk is worse for the environment than almond milk; it uses significantly more water and produces significantly more greenhouse gases etc. When you're comparing almond milk to other non-cow milks (like the post you quoted which compared it to oat milk) it's more complicated.

Shut up, hippie! Haha gotcha. God, why do you vegans always gotta shove your supple veganism down our wet throats?
