Don't try his Safehold series either; the arms race stuff is kinda fun but it has horrendous lib brainworms; I barely struggled through the last volume just after beginning my leftward political journey and it was painful even back then. (It doesn't help that he just kept adding characters through the series and made the plot move like molasses as a result, nor the fact that he simply had to fuck up the spellings of everyone's names.)
Technically, the Thirty Years War lasted weeks. Over 1500 of them, sure, but it did last weeks.
If you went back in time 20 years and described the current state of politics in this country to someone, they would think you were having them on. Donald Trump is president, people are being snatched off the streets by masked thugs (and sent to fucking El Salvador and Uganda), and a former Fox News host and a congresswoman known for talking about "Jewish space lasers" are two of the only people standing up for free speech?
How the fuck is this where we are right now? Fucking dystopian nightmare.
This is called fraud, and it's illegal even in our current capitalist hellscape. Probably a bit, but if not it's a written confession.
Tfw your attempt at irony reads like a correct take
Leaving aside the total amorality of this, these people have absolutely no grounds to sue. They bought a house and the value went down. That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes
I had to look at the article to confirm that wasn't a bit. Holy fuck how is people destroying fossil fuel infrastructure such a terrifying prospect that you don't want to live to see it?
Ok you asked, so I'll answer. A trans woman is a woman, full stop. A lesbian woman is a woman who is only interested in fellow women. There is no contradiction there whatsoever, and it's actually a form of transphobia to think that there is. Most of us have learned transphobia from the society around us, so it's important to recognize it and stamp it out when it crops up.
Also, people's identities are important; trying to ignore them is a form of retreat used by reactionaries to avoid having to grow socially.
Special shoutouts to @AccountVerificationBot@hexbear.net, @duderium@hexbear.net, @Sasuke@hexbear.net, @GaveUp@hexbear.net (and probably also @Frank@hexbear.net), and @GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net for being called out specifically.
You realize threads like this are just catnip for us, right?

residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.

He apparently decided to strategically employ severe cringe to drive the point home:
