holy shit dude it’s a semester. my fucking ib final exams of 2 years maxxed out at 180mins and you’re a SEMESTER long course. although this is the length of 2 out of 3 of my exams i shit you not. he says though that a well prepped student can finish in 2 hours but that is NOT what the lecturer for the other course told us (chemistry of COURSE). though i am a fast exam taker i struggled to finish the chem test within the allocated time.

also we have to use a scientific calculator, the ui of which will blow out my time taken to complete the test more than the most difficult of questions. mean to me…

really clear example of ignorant inclusivity. what does it mean by ‘masc’ fits? or ‘femme’ fits (also lol femme ≠ fem but again ignorant inclusivity)? are people with broad shoulders and a flat chest all generalisable as masc? would they like that? i’m thinking particularly of transmisogynised people, particularly those who might reject masculinity. how might it feel for them to have the binary enforced again, by someone writing this meaningless slop in an attempt to be trans inclusive and ‘break down the binary’ while just reinforcing it? i agree that female v male fit is not good, but why not describe the fit? why resort to lazy labels that reveal how ignorant you are of what harm gendered fitting can actually do?

[thelongunwell]

i think the idea is that one is a boxier fit and one is more soft and curvy and that if you size up you can fit your shoulders in the softer one but like there are other aspects to fit? particularly the shaping and roominess around the bust that is likely done to the ‘femme’ fit. so again i just think it’s a bad description, i think describing the intention of the fit is better than masc and femmE.

okay post but i think maybe some of you would benefit from understanding that niche online terms are not being translated into language used in general because people who might use these terms not only mostly don’t identify with them personally, but also aren’t organising with them offline. so yeah no they have no real world significance. nonbinary people *do* but ‘enbian’ is not a widely adopted identity and sorry but nonbinary people would have to lead the charge on that. i also think this argument that gay and lesbian are exclusively binary erases the nonbinary people who have identified, lived, fucked, organised under either label.

um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.

[thelongunwell]

prev tf do you mean chronically american post does your country not have wildlife that cats can kill or predators that eat medium sized mammals lmfao. i’m a big fan of hating usamericans but frankly this is a worldwide problem, though i do hope you’ve just missworded something.

[clousi]

I meant it about the coyote, and because passionate defence of keeping cats indoors is something i relate to usamericans, maybe not my best moment i give u that but it's my opinion, as far as i know street cats are like, part of life not a "worldwide problem" 🤷

[thelongunwell]

if it is not a problem in your country then likely your country doesn’t have a dedicated campaign against outdoor cats. but that doesn’t mean that street cats are benign, again that’s just a bad view of how animals work, cats around the world kill an astronomical amount of small mammals, reptiles, birds and insects - it might surprise you to learn that cats are predators everywhere, not just in the US. i gave an example from my experience - i live in australia and cats kill between 390-546 million animals here yearly. it would be very arrogant of you to assert that your country would be any different, likely it just isn’t talked about. and so again, big fan of mocking usamericans but not only is OP not usamerican, street cats are universally problematic, even if you are ignorant of their dangers. so yeah, they are a worldwide problem and are an invasive species just about everywhere because of the advantages given to them by being domesticated. you likely think of it as a usamerican problem because usamericans dominate the anglophone internet i would advise learning more about it instead of remaining incurious and ignorant.

remember when the afl said sometimes their players will make oopsies and say homophobic/misogynistic/racist slurs because they’re upset on field and there’s nothing they can/should do to punish it. yeah nrl and afl is different but i wonder what it means when only one other nrl player has come out as gay and another one who struggles with being closeted made it his LIFE MISSION to kill himself. probably doesn’t say great things about locker room culture eh

[thelongunwell]

this is why somehow i am jaded by gay sport books because they never show an ‘ugliness’ like this - here referring to something people would rather turn their faces away from, i am not ascribing aesthetic judgements to an injustice - no, what we get is ilya bad accent from mean homophobia land (not like canada, very accepting canadian sports leagues) and a whole host of other fluffy haired boys who don’t have any true yawning chasm that hurts others that might arise from your personal life and professional life being so at odds.

[thelongunwell]

awesome Um. did they do anything about the blackmailing though

‘I know that I’m gay’: Former NRL enforcer Kane Evans comes out in emotional interview — The Sydney Morning Herald

The ex-Roosters, Parramatta and Fiji star has detailed his battles with alcohol and substance addiction and mental health while wrestling wi

i’m really not trying to make light here anyhow, the interview is upsetting to even just read, i cannot imagine watching it will be any easier. though i don’t follow sport on principle my heart just hurts for this man and i hope his life is easier and he’s able to live a life congruent with who he is
