Overheard a 13 yr old explaining how jax was a trans lesbian to his dad at amc today

[zoesupreme]

well the thing is that's an extremely reasonable concern

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

Hey Spidey, how do you and Daredevil decide who's fighting the Kingpin at any given time? Do you take turns, or what?

[nycswebhead]

If you could swap out one of your villains for a different villain, who would you chose?

i fuck with the joker to be honest

[demilypyro]

can you educate the masses on the pussy situation?

Can it get you pregnant?

Is it sexual, or in order to feel more comfortable as a woman?

Any regrets?

Feel free to ignore and sorry if feels invasive. Just trying to get more educated on trans people, and you seem to be comfortable with talking about it.

no, no, both, no, shut up

[lavenderprose]

I love how some fics are called shit like "They Only Shoot The Birds Who Cannot Sing" and it's like the most insane porn you're ever read and then some fics are called Spit On Me and it's 18,000 words of the most achingly id-scratching prose you've ever read and they're both. They're both so fucking good. thank God for fanfiction.

oh you’re not kidding

In Japan (and less commonly in China), there’s a concept of a 30-hour day.

Not in the sense that two days would be 60 hours, but more that the days overlap between midnight and 6 AM. So, for instance, it something happened 2 AM on Sunday, you could say “2 o’clock on Sunday”, but you could also say “26 o’clock on Saturday”.

Which MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. When you talk about things happening “last night”, it doesn’t suddenly stop being “last night” the instant the clock strikes midnight because I’m not Cinderella.

In conclusion, I wish America had this so I could throw it in the face of every smug friend who says “DON’T YOU MEAN LATER TODAY????” when I tell them “see you tomorrow” at two minutes past midnight.

Some more sources:

This is most common in TV schedules:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OtakuOClock

Anime aired from around 11 p.m. until the wee hours of the morning, occasionally indicated by the odd-looking “22:00-27:00” notation. […]

The trope name refers to the odd way of noting when the shows start airing; it’s common to see a show aired at 1:00 am listed at “25:00”. This is largely done to align the schedule with that of the previous day; many Japanese TV networks still sign off in the middle of the night, and those who don’t will only switch to “the next day”’s programming at 4 am or so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Japan

Times past midnight can also be counted past the 24 hour mark, usually when the associated activity spans across midnight. For example, bars or clubs may advertise as being open until “26時” (i.e. 2 am). This is partly to avoid any ambiguity (2 am versus 2 pm), partly because the closing time is considered part of the previous business day, and perhaps also due to cultural perceptions that the hours of darkness are counted as part of the previous day, rather than dividing the night between one day and the next. Television stations will also frequently use this notation in their late-night scheduling. This form is rarely used in conversation.

cultural perceptions that the hours of darkness are counted as part of the previous day

idk about you, but I have the same cultural perceptions. Let’s get this popularized in the US!

[robertskmiles]

In some cultures the day changes over when the Sun sets, in others when the Sun rises. Midnight is a pretty unintuitive convention, but I can see its value for some purposes.

But relaxing the requirement that ‘every moment can only be referred to by a single time’ is a very elegant solution, and very obvious in retrospect.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]
