As a robot weasel(taur) I am not designed for elite assassinations but neither am I a disposable item of serial production. I can't be backed up, don't download updates from the cloud, -that is fundamentally not a thing- physical damage is painful and concerning and malfunctions are fatal!

On some topics it's about selecting who you would rather be arguing with. What gets me is that petitions in such situation are childish and vacuous. Who are they petitioning? The Point is that there's no king there to petition. Elections, direct action, that's all. This is about power.

It annoys me to see calls for signing petitions for the purpose of stopping or halting legislation passed by a majority Republican legislature against the unanimous opposition of non-Republican officeholders. That is what voting in the actual election, or direct action, etc, is for.

The only places many, maybe most USAians are ever on public property today are on the highway in a private vehicle or in an airport, which involves an invasive and stupid inspection by an unaccountable government agency. Both involve money to be there. I think about this from time to time.

I love acetaminophen aka paracetamol, it is very effective at appropriate doses and has an analgesic ceiling much higher than ibuprofen - but it is deeply unfortunate that it is permitted to be sold in the US in bulk bottles and as opposed to cards where one has to punch it out pill by pill.

Not really clear on the social niceties of how to respond to someone asking if one has Klinefelter Syndrome. Nice guy, he had it, could tell why he asked given how the meatsack looks but it felt enough to say that I have 'other things going on' and that 'no, single and kids aren't a possibility'

I'm not saying drag shouldn't exist, gosh. However: Specifically as to "Big Bang Theory" the show, the whole series and offshoots: anathema, excommunication, jihad, countryside re-education camps.
Sev, supposedly (@weaselbotaur.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep, and I expected something like this. 300 characters isn't much. But I figure people can pass it by, or assume ignorance, or read it carefully. (In conclusion, I don't like drag. A wzlbot's opinion.)
Sev, supposedly (@weaselbotaur.bsky.social) reply parent
I do think these things need to be said from time to time. They pertain more to people who aren't on the binary like me, and I think such statements might seem weird or ignorant to people who are. Up to about WPATH 6? 7? you were supposed to dress up for a few months to get prescribed hormones.

Sometimes I post my opinions and it is sometimes interesting to see how things get parsed, or not.
Sev, supposedly (@weaselbotaur.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, yes. What I said is that drag specifically is not inherently broadly applicable to everyone. It would be silly to say that furry which is inherent to me is applicable to everyone. I think that since drag is so prominent it gets more profile.
Sev, supposedly (@weaselbotaur.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure! I'm not ruling that out. It's not inherently necessary overall is what I said. For me personally and I don't think I am alone, the performative aspect of it was something that I needed to get past as a thing that one had to or is expected to do.

I personally don't like drag. Furthermore, I don't think it has any inherent connection to the broad and general transfeminine experience, and I think the overlap is pretty small.
