The thing that sucks is the way I see it, it’s discrimination regardless making transgender people out to be unfit to serve. It puts us in a lesser position than cisgender people

I remember when Trump first came onto the scene and one of the things he was really good at was monopolizing all the attention. I really wonder if all this attention on figures like Hassan is just playing into their hands. After all, they do say that there is no such thing as bad publicity

Are women excluded from your country’s military?

Yeah this was me. I didn’t really have any concept of self aside from what my dad was doing and that’s what he did. So that’s what I was going to do. It paid really well but once I realized that the gig was up I had to leave or else get caught into the political quagmire going on now.

Some dude named John who took a lot of magic mushrooms or something said that Jesus was going to come back and butcher everybody. Jesus did not say that. The book of Revelation is most likely about Nero and the destruction of Rome. There’s some interesting biblical scholarship about it and I think that part is more interesting than the actual book

That’s not to say Jesus didn’t say some metal things

Matthew 10:34-36 NRSVUE [34] “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword. [35] For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, [36] and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household.

Matthew 12:34 NRSVUE You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Yes, this is transphobic using the same logic as how a group of people wearing Klan Regalia is racist.

Even that can be a bit blurry. When it comes to criticizing Israel, the guidance I have is to be specific. There’s a big difference between saying that Israel is creating an apartheid state in the West Bank, vs Isreal controls the US government. And one has to be a little more on their facts, because anti-semites will use legitimate criticism of the state of Israel to mask their antisemitism. The poster who started this comment thread is much more so the ladder especially by doubling down with the crypto red-pill bs.

I’m going to refer to the GOAT, Philosophy Tube and her video on anti-Semitism

What we know is that the plane didn’t land and instead hovered. This could be due to ground effect. Ground effect is an effect where planes have significantly more lift when within a wing length of the ground. Usually Pilots can mitigate this but sometimes they make a mistake and float down the runway. It’s even worse when they make the plane go up and down at that low altitude. That’s called a pilot-induced oscillation.

There might have also been a microburst involved. That would make it seem that there’s headwind up until a certain point and then there is a tailwind. That means that at the airport, The wind speed would look fine up until a certain point where the direction reversed making it even harder to land. From that point, the pilots should execute what’s called a go-around and basically take off again but there might not have been enough Runway to do so.

This is speculation on my part. There may have been other things involved but this is my best guess. I think the microburst is the most likely and they may have been coming in a little too fast regardless.

There can be a number of human factors that create errors on landing. Some people just want to get out of the plane as soon as possible and so they are more willing to take risks. Sometimes they have complacency because they’ve landed at that same airport hundreds of times. Maybe they were fixated on some other problem in the cockpit while landing. All of that should be uncovered in the investigation.

Cut it with the crypto Nazi bullshit. You’re talking out of your ass

The theory that it’s connected to Israel sounds tenuous at best. It sounds anti-semitic at worst. Kirk was spreading American Evangelicalism which is a direct boon to Israel because the biggest non-jewish Zionists are evangelical.

I’ve seen the trope way too many times, where the shadowy Jews are killing the elites and are obviously responsible for everything from vaccines and autism to killing JFK to leaking war plans in the Dryfus affair. The further you get away from the nation state of Israel, the less likely I am to believe that Israel is to blame. We’ll probably figure out why he was killed in the end. Or maybe not

I think that’s a pretty accurate assessment. I personally haven’t seen any evidence that she’s anti-Semitic and that is the center of Holocaust denialism. I don’t think her claims are driven by conspiracy theories. She just has a million Yes Men who encourage her anti-trans positions and it just feels right to her

She thinks that transgender people were not persecuted during the Holocaust.

Thanks for writing this! I feel like I’ve been a bit of a ping pong ball: back and forth and back and forth. I’ve kind of had to make sense of being non-binary too. It’d be so much simpler if I was binary trans, but you know it would also be really simple if I was not trans in the first place, but here we are. At this point it kind of feels weird to see my masculine side come out, but I still have it. Unfortunately my brain is a bit mushy because of all the moe moe anime stuff and the stereotypical transgender woman culture fueled by second puberty. I should stop doing the performative BS. That’s not what makes me anything. Girl, boy, whatever.

I get what you’re saying but the Republicans did just remove all funding from USAID and PEPFAR, dooming millions in the global south to death by hunger and disease. And instead they are going for an extractive approach. (I know, like they weren’t already, but the US wants to use hard power everywhere now which is the stupidest idea ever) I got the chance to speak with some USAID veterans and it isn’t pretty. Even in the global South, the United States is losing a lot of favorability because of these cuts. That’s what happens when you cut your soft power agency into pieces It’s a choice between the Shit party and the Shit Lite party, but at least a number of decent people have leverage over the Shit Lite party.

It would be really funny if New York Governor Hochul named it Lake Ontario again

Looks like the president wants his bonds shaken not stirred

Well I kicked out a trans woman from a church. And I’ve done some other stuff. I was able to meet a friend of mine from years ago who’s transgender and I tried to “convince him out of it” but he certainly didn’t blame me. In fact, he was like that couple years before we met.

It’s a relatively common thing and I try not to blame myself for it because I did what I could with what I was given.

This is what happens when you run wartime Ops and you forget to run wartime logistics. It’s partially to do with bad decisions from 20 or 30 years ago where they gutted the merchant Marine. and engage in really stupid wars of choice

Huh. I used to use the laundromat a few doors down. There are some great places in traverse City that we can go to anyway. We’ve got a good trans/LGBT in general Community there. And we give each other business recommendations. Granted, I never got a haircut there but I’m trying to get more hair.
