No, but also essentially yes

“you’re just not paying attention because you’re not a trans ally”

yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don’t think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don’t know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.

Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous… most people are online regularly … particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don’t need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.

Being honest isn’t discouraging, it’s not being infantilizing.

Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).

If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.

It’s not about my comments, it’s mods getting into debates over them and then promising to retaliate. I’m talking about a pattern with certain mods

There are many full grown adults who aren’t self aware.

Yes exactly, Bernie has similar politics but doesn’t get the same hatred. There were some Bernie voters who even hopped to Trump. They care more about sexism/racism than actual politics.

I don’t think employees on the edge of brokeness are getting stock options, that’s more a thing to get with a 100k paycheck vs a 150k paycheck.

Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker’s rights movement.

edit: nah he has a point

One thing to note if you get one, you will get comments on your phone 😅

Not to me at all, way less bulky. It’s thinner than my wallet, and since it’s not long, it doesn’t jam into my leg when I kneel or sit down. However, I don’t have a case for it, not sure how it would feel with a case.

True

Literally just being a “centrist” is a red flag. All he has to do is say like, oh I don’t really have strong opinions on politics.

I mean yeah, she saved kids’ lives and now she’s dead. She probably had a meaningful impact on a lot of people, and saying who she is and how she was important in the community helps us feel the full impact of her death.

If this was made law, the boomers would get public transit funded so fast.

I would argue the first isn’t active voice

“died when the driver of a car hit her” seems passive to me. It’s more accurate, but still passive.

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren’t the United States.

Maybe impractical for you, highly practical in my life. Folding smaller makes it easier comfortably carry in accessible pockets, and the center of gravity is more stable so I’ve had no issues of it falling out of my jacket pockets which uses to happen to me quite a lot!!

Yes, I’ve had the Samsung zFlip 4 for a year and a half. It’s great, my phones used to always fall out of my jacket pockets, but the center of gravity of the folded phone is much more stable and I don’t have that problem anymore. Can fit easily into my front overall pockets too which is nice. Screen feels much safer as well, since it’s usually closed.

(I work outdoors, with overalls a lot)

My only issue with it is the lack of a headphone jack and lack of a removable battery, and it gets overheating issues when I’m outside on hot days - but so has literally every phone I’ve had. Outdoor worklife is tough on phones.

There is a visible crease, and some friends have mentioned that the fold line would bother them. Personally it doesn’t bother me.

The snap close is especially fun, too.

And I like how I can have it propped up in the L position, nice way to have a little screen playing YouTube videos in the background while I work.
