When you are so insecure about your identity that other people are not allowed to have fun:

I think we can all agree that it's no longer OK to make fun of things. Because you might offend someone. And offending people is no different from raping them and then stabbing them to death, insomuch as both are forms of assault.

Therefore, here is a socially-acceptable joke:

Yeah, and I am offended that the gender (whatever that is) of the Bovine Entity is assumed by the use of the gender non-neutral term "cow".

I do appreciate that the physicist with the Saiyan haircut has a shirt that says "This shirt is approximately pants".

Today, I learned that "Saiyan" is not a typo, but rather a cartoon guy with pokey hair.


Randall Munroe gives a wonderful description of estimation, in the context of calculating what a mole of moles would look like:


First, let’s start with wild ballpark approximations. This is an example of what might go through my head before I even pick up a calculator, when I’m just trying to get a sense of the quantities - the kind of calculation where 10, 1, and 0.1 are all close enough that we can consider them equal:

I can pick up a mole (animal) and throw it. Anything I can throw weighs one pound. One pound is one kilogram. The number 602,214,129,000,000,000,000,000 looks about twice as long as a trillion, which means it’s about a trillion trillion. I happen to remember that a trillion trillion kilograms is how much a planet weighs.


… if anyone asks, I did not tell you it was ok to do math like this.


He has also determined that the phone number for the switchboard at the White House can be expressed as

So that's a useful thing to know.

Nothing screams, "this is me," like putting on wigs,makeup, and being a complete caricature of someone/thing else.

Ah, very clever. You are saying that something is actually the opposite of what it is, which is an amusing way to criticize that thing.






On a more serious note, wanna really be disgusted? Go to Google and type "transgender child." No, you won't get any ****. Instead, you'll get lots of "heartwarming" stories written by parents who "supported and affirmed" their toddlers' decisions to dress / act like they are of the opposite gender.


And you'll come across articles written by parents who were reported to city / county child-welfare agencies by school administrators for claiming that their children were actually the gender that they were. Or, less dramatically, having to constantly remind people that just because their daughter dresses like a bit of a tomboy does not change the fact that she in, in fact, female.


You'll also find websites like that of the Center for Gender Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital. Yup, serving the desires of people who want to have their genitalia mutilated is now a PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY.



How did we get here?

It's funny how they went from decrying the mutilation of female genitalia in Egypt to encouraging it in our own country in the course of one generation. And not funny "Haha", either.

A reflection upon the fact that some people are incapable of experiencing joy, because they see fault in everything.

^ Not gonna lie, he's kinda cute. A tad young, granted, but if I were ever to tip over the edge and indulge a homo-curious fantasy, that's the sorta thing that'd trigger it.



In other news, for anyone who has friends or relatives in the Honda community, the following PSA may prove useful:
