Well... except that "cis" is actually a shortened form of the precise, latin-rooted, technical term "cisgender," which is the opposite of the precise, latin-rooted, technical term "transgender."
And it has nothing at all to do with heterosexuality, or with sexual preference in any way, shape or form.
So he's not just wrong, but wrong in pretty much every way he could possibly have been.
Which seems to be pretty much par for the course for the world's richest middle-aged teenage edgelord.
Ah... the venerable old "make a 'loan' then forgive it" strategy for paying bribes.
At this point Thomas might as well have a tattoo across his forehead that says "I am corrupt."
If he had even a speck of integrity, he'd resign.
Well yeah - it's not an evil product. As an inanimate object, it can't possess a moral quality.
Moral qualities are only rightly assigned to conscious beings - like, for example, corporate CEOs.
I don't really blame them, or at least not primarily.
They're just desperate and frustrated and looking for someone or something to blame for the fact that what should be a great nation is instead a festering cesspool of greed, corruption, violence and stupidity. Like most, they won't or can't consider the part they play in that, so they look for some "other" to blame.
There is actually an "other" to be blamed - the wealthy and politically powerful few - but most of American history, and human history for that matter, has been built around establishing and protecting the privilege of those few, most often by manipulating public sentiment in such a way as to direct anger and frustration away from them and instead towards others of the common people.
So they're really just the latest in a long line of people feeling wholly justifiable anger and frustration that's been misdirected by self-serving shitheels. I guess they're rightly faulted for failing to recognize that they're mad at the wrong people, but really, that's true of far too many people.
Now all that said, on a personal level there's almost nobody that fills me with more rage and disgust than the bigoted right.
Still though...
Not that it makes any real difference, but I wonder how many of them are so stupid and/or blinded by ideological bias that they voted that way because they sincerely believed that the election was invalid and how many of them voted that way because they're cowards with no principles or integrity who were trying to suck up to Trump and his army of violent morons.
At this point, that's one of the only things that provides even a hint of interest about an American right-wing politician - wondering if they're an actual delusional psychopath or if they're just LARPing as one to get votes and/or not get death threats.
Again, not that it makes any real difference...
Mom's a great character - she comes across as stern and distant and intimidating, but we get to see what's underneath that.
And it just hit me - I don't recall a specific reference to where her dad is now, but I'm willing to bet that he's in Tokyo, and we're going to get to meet him soon.
No - not really.
Monkey push "Reddit" button - monkey get banana.
Monkey don't know what other buttons for.
Reddit could survive with nothing but bots posting AI generated drivel and memes, and more bots endlessly responding with variations on "This," "Don't threaten me with a good time" and "That's what she said."
Just so long as the zombies have enough "content" to scroll through, inertia alone will keep it going.
If you're new to the series and/or lost (not unexpected for Dowman Sayman), the scanlators, Profiterol, also just released updated versions of the first three chapters, based on the tank chapters instead of the original magazine chapters, so this is a great opportunity to start at the beginning.
And maybe still end up lost...
And there it is.
Just to note - the mangaka has already said that he has plans that will keep this going at least until January, so we're not even close to done here.
I'm looking forward to it.
I prefer a much simpler solution: the threadiverse remains decentralized, with all that that entails, and all of the people who can't cope with that leave.
So at this point, I'm just wondering - traitor, lunatic or moron?
He's obviously at least one of the three, but which one(s)?
