    I think the confusion is the “you’re” part, not the “amab” part.

    If the statement was something like “you can only be amab or afab”, then that is a false dillema (hi intersex people).

    But if the statement is “you [as in 🫵] are amab” then that seems to get into false premise or general fallacies of relevance. The response would seem to be “Thats wrong” if you’re not amab, or “That’s as true as it is irrelevant” if you are.

    I view it the same way people misuse “psychosomatic”. (Not to detract from the whole transphobia of it all. We know what they really mean when they say this, of course.)

    People use psychosomatic to mean “its all in your head, therefore nothing is wrong.” instead of “You identified a cause of the very real symptoms you’re experiencing.”

    Honestly, it sometimes feels like the public has not grown all that much from the “throw the loonies into the asylum” era of psychology.

    I really wish there was a pictoral way to indicate preferred language without tying it to a country or making people think I like the values of said place.

    We could always do (ENG) or (DE) or something but that doesn’t offer much more clarity to the difference, and it reads as less scrutable than 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 or 🇩🇪 to me . Maybe something like (🗣️:🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪) would work?

    I actually appreciate you giving this take a ton because I think it’s important to think about corruption. I think a lot of people just view “corruption=bad” without diving into what it is or its impacts or why, specifically, corruption isn’t a good thing. And that sort of thinking is tied pretty hard into negative stereotypes of non-first world countries. (I majored in geography and took courses in geographies of development so this is very much my jam hah)

    I might write a blog post about this at some point and make reference to this comment if I do. I can let you know when I do if you’re interested.

    Edit: clarifying the actual nature of my education. Im not looking to Jared Diamond myself lmao


  • Ill be honest, I’m too sleepy to get the message. I have two theories

    1. This user no longer uses the first-person pronoun and now exclusively uses the pronoun “it”, including when it refers to itself.

    2. This is a joke that “It” starts with the letter I (“how it started”) and the full word is “it” (how “it” is going (forward)), reversing the meme format for comedic effect.

    Anyway, wake me up when Peter Griffin drops by, good night

    Yeah i dont wanna bother having to sort through all the misinformation and contradictory advice on cast iron pans at this point. Cuz I’ll read someone say “I wash it all the time” and then the next comment will be “I washed mine and it rusted instantly”

    I just use carbon steel and it treats me right.
