If you found my response aggressive, perhaps you should work on your self-confidence rather than try to belittle others to make yourself feel like a man.
See? I've just used the word 'man', but it has no definitive meaning again.
Again, you misunderstand the nuances of gender and sexuality, not to mention the difference between physical, emotional and intellectual birth right, or choice.
Somebody might be born a woman, but in a male body, or gay in a heterosexual world. Some people make conscious choices.
I don't give a flying feck and it's none of your feckin' business what others choose.
So it's not really margarine that is banned, but trans fat.
I make my own plant-based margarines with organic/foraged nut milk, lemon juice, coconut oil, olive oil and seasonings.
It's not great for spreading from the fridge and it can go mouldy fairly quickly, but it freezes well. I just hack off bits to cook, or garnish with.
I've just made a batch of wild garlic margarine which goes particularly well with steamed, or roasted purple sprouting broccoli, any brassica, or spring green.
About 1 in 500 men are born with Klinefelter Syndrome which is XXY, or XXXY, or XXXXY and so on.
About 1 in 2,500 women are born with Turner Syndrome where the X chromosome is partially, or completely missing. There are many variations.
About 1 in 1,000 men are born with Jacob's syndrome which is XYY.
We have always had multiple genders. Some societies have insisted there are only two genders for convenience, or power and control. Others are more open to individual differences.
Your op really muddles the difference between gender and sexuality, as well as displaying ignorance with respect to genetic gender variations.
If you're struggling with gender, I have a fairly easy solution: if someone presents as a man, say he; if someone presents as a woman, say she; if you're not sure use they.
For example, if someone is wearing a frock and heels, they are presenting as woman. It makes no difference if they are a svelte twinkle-toes, or 6'4" square-jawed rugby player.
Sexuality is who you fancy, not your gender. For those of us who are pansexual, the person is more important than the shape and location of their genitals. Would it be so bad if someone adored you because you are you?
That's often associated with ADD and ADHD, but like most diagnoses, the categories are largely based on empirical data.
Traits of learning differences tend to overlap categories. People get diagnosed with the best fitting one, or more, but that doesn't mean they don't have traits of other categories.
Actually, I'm trying to remember if it is a dyslexic trait. I know difficulty with telling the time, difficulty reading maps and not being able to tell left from right are all dyslexic traits.
I don't when I shake people by the scruff of the neck. I huff.
My point is, neurodiversity is misunderstood, even by those of us who are wired differently. Most of us are clever-clogs enough to compensate for normie-world without even realising we're making allowances.
It just doesn't seem to work the other way round with much patience, thought, or compassion. I can't tell you the number of times I've been told off, berated and banned from using my best strategies by normies who thought the world revolved around their neurology, some of whom really should have known better.
Had the receptionist you spoke of as being incompetent not had a life-time of having her methods and strategies replaced with being made to feel incompetent, she likely would have had an efficient system in place to minimise errors just like everyone else.
Even if a death appears to be a suicide, it still has to be investigated thoroughly to eliminate any possibility of suspicious circumstances. All that forensic stuff takes time.
And who knows what the poor fella was going through? People tend to blame themselves for not doing enough, particularly when someone has died. That kind of grief trauma is not uncommon when a loved one dies of an incurable disease, never mind two planes full of people.
Giving evidence may have been confronting his own feelings of guilt, whether that's rational, or not.
Either way, Boeing might be viewed by some as culpable for Barnett's death, but you're right, it is convenient for them.
1. People usually like to know that their mates are okay.
2. It's handy to know what people are getting suspended/banned for because the site owner mood appears to vary over time, i.e. over the J6 period and possibly as we move towards the US elections.
If you're suspended from the blog/forums, CS doesn't notify you for how long.
Back in the days of thriving blogs and forums, one might be suspended for a few days, maybe a week. These days it seems people get suspended for weeks, or months with no idea when they'll be able to post again.
If CS doesn't notify the badass sinner, they sure as dammit don't notify anyone else.
There are clues, however:
*A blog goes kapoof! and one, or more regular posters go quiet for a few weeks *A suspended member PM's a friend and tells them, the friend tells everyone else *If someone has PM'd in the past, or you 'favourite' them, or they're on your 'who's viewed me?' record, you might see their profile as normal, 'profile hidden' , or 'profile deleted'.
The person who reported Luke PM'd him to say they had reported him for calling everyone and anyone a wanker, or some such thing relating to hostility. That person tells me Luke's profile was active after he was suspended, but about 10 days later Luke hid his profile.
I'm sure a few days, or a week would have sufficed to get the point across about reserving calling people a wanker for high days and holidays, but it appears that's not the way CS rolls anymore.
The source of my information has never PM'd with Butcher and neither have I, therefore neither of us know whether his profile is hidden, or deleted.
If a profile is deleted, you can't tell if that member's exit was voluntary, or not. If it was voluntary, they can reactivate their profile at any time. If it was deleted by CS and they don't create a new profile to get around the ban, they may be able to reactivate their original profile in about 6 months.
No, you just refuse to see that they did take something from the government and that was an open door based upon white privilege.
It's like running the 100 yard dash where everyone else starts 150 yards away from the finish line. You boasting about your superiority because you finished 5 yards ahead of anyone else is embarrassing.
So, when your grandparents entered the US they didn't need passports, or any kind of documentation.
Unless you count being white a passport, because of course there were all sorts of ways that the US was practising eugenics at the time.
Your picture about migrants not needing passports anymore sparked off that train of thought, y'know, in a pulling up the ladder behind you, abject hypocrisy kind of a way.
You can go back to looking at the pretty pictures again, now.
She comes across as a developmentally similar age as my eldest grandchild, except I my eldest knows the difference between fantasy and reality and the idea of Jewish space lasers would be a part of an everyday comedy routine to mock the ridiculous.
The more I listen to it, the more I'm reminded of Winston Churchill.
The 'how old we are' versus 'how old are our ideas?' was clever and acutely relevant.
As was 'history is watching' when he surely knew he was about to deliver an iconic, well written Churchillian speech on the right side of history and democracy. I imagine that might have been his drug which kept him a tad buoyant.
I'll say it again, I don't know how much of that speech was accurate, or rhetoric. I don't know how many of his promises he'll be able to achieve if he has another four years.
What I do know is that speech had some damn good writers behind it and that for all his fumbling, stuttering and dry mouth, it was a well presented speech with respect to passion, optimism and empathy.
I also like the way Biden treats Marjorie Taylor Greene like a rebellious teenage granddaughter pushing the boundaries. I find her utterly obnoxious, but he seems to find her growing up endearing.
