What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • Could be. Grateful and understanding does describe my two trans friends. However they we friends before they transitioned. So the relationship was established and they knew I cared about them.

    I knew one for ten years before they transitioned. So yeah I try not to dead name them but it takes time to adjust. For me it took about 2 years before I didn't think of their old name and have to adjust it before speaking.

    I was talking about them with a mutual friend at a party. Someone I don't know yells at me from across the room "we don't use that name here." I'm better friends with them then you and you just made the entire party aware of their status.

    Maybe it's just the people who make it a big deal publicly and like to challenge people. They tend to be the most noticeable in the community.

  • What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • Yeah I support trans rights. If you are consistent I'll use your preferred pronouns. I don't care what bathroom people use. Health care is between you and your doctor. I only care about what genitals you have if we are going to be doing things with each others genitals.

    That said so many trans people are complete assholes about it. I'm on your side but fuck so many of you are annoying jerks.

    I remember when gays started coming out of the closet and they handled it better. Polite but firm about being treated fairly. The trans community is making more foes then friends the way they are acting.

  • Harris is telling her advisers and allies to keep her political options open
  • A mediocre candidate who lost the 2020 primary badly and only got the VP spot because she was buddies with Bidens dead son. She them went on to lose badly to Trump.

    I voted for her but it was really a vote for Not Trump. Hopefully this the last we hear of her.

  • He wasn't though. That's a bit of a cultural myth like "Beam me up Scotty." Watch the show and you will see he clearly has emotion he just doesn't let them control him.

    His joy when he learns he didn't kill Kirk. His enjoying verbal sparring with Mccoy. The spores removing his control. The look on his face when something strange and new is on the view screen.

  • I think pon far is just when they get super horney every 4 years.

    Side note the AI summary for Kolinahr has what I hope is a mistake.

    Kolinahr It is the Vulcan ritual that is to purge all remaining emotion. It's a ritual in which a Vulcan male shaves his balls for the first time.

  • Sure. My problem with the writing is they write him like he doesn't understand emotions having never had the them. When it should be the opposite.

    He should be more like an alcoholic who doesn't drink anymore. Still understands what it's like to be drunk or hungover.

  • Picard doesn't have many flaws but the writing doesn't usually make him the main character. TNG is more a problem solving show than a character drama. When they have character drama it's usually the B story.

    When we do have a Picard centered episode they usually remove him from the rest of the crew. So you could say his main weakness is dependency on a crew. (Diehard in space doesn't count)

    Mayor says rescue efforts are under way after vessel crashed into Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending vehicles into water

    Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship

    A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

    At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

    “All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

    Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
