You’re entirely correct. I devoured the books years ago, and then almost immediately bounced off the show because of the changes. Thankfully I pushed through it, but the show is very much doing it’s own thing.

Well the answer is a deceptively simple “it all depends on the person”. The line for when it crosses over into dysphoria isn’t a universal one. Really the only way you would know if you upset him is if he told you. So if he hasn’t ever said anything to this effect, don’t overthink it. It’s a common idiom.

The good rule of thumb is “would I be making a genitals comment to a cis person in this same situation?”. Lots of guys will make dick jokes, but how often do those same guys ask each other the medical history of their junk? Not often I’d imagine, and the times that would happen would be for a specific reason.

Might be safe to err on not making references to the genitals they were born with, but everyone different. As a trans woman I will happily use my vestigial teeny tiny penis as a punchline if I know I am among friends. I’d just never presume to make that joke about another trans woman.

It’s all hypocritical anyways, Trump has a whole goddamn military parade for his stupid BS birthday. There are no consequences or standards, just shitty people being shit to each other.

… what?

Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?

If Spotify never caught your attention before, it sure has now.

Not in a good way tho. I’m not going to argue against anyone particular afterlife beliefs. However if you truly believe your loved ones could hear this playlist, how would keeping it on eternal loop not be torture?

And why the fuck does liquid death have to do with this? Just the name? Cause that is trashy af.

As a negative control, they also prepared an identical sealed tray containing only a wet sponge and the biosensor, but no meat. They observed that the biosensors in the pork and mutton trays turned bright yellow after 24 hours, while the one in the beef tray took 36 hours. In contrast, the control biosensor showed no detectable change.

That’s so cool, meat is still gross, but this is unambiguously a fantastic thing for humanity. If it’s actually used, I’d have to imagine the less reliable yet ass covering legal expiration date sticker will always be cheaper. Hope this becomes the new mandated standard, innovations are meaningless in the face of uncaring capitalism.
