Looking forward to more Viltrumite vs. Viltrumite

I'm going to 36 weeks of military training that will also be a substantial pay cut from my civilian career, but worth it in the long run as it'll be the necessary experience to switch my civilian career to my field of interest. Not looking forward to the training, but I'll be in such a better spot once I'm finished. Looking forward to that!

How was it transphobic? The whole entire show is extremely critical of the wars (Vietnam in theory, and Korea in practice), the military, and the state of society in general.

Stating that it's transphobic because it just depicts a common practice of draftees seeking non-dishonorable discharge is like stating "Get Out" is a racist movie because it depicts racism.

The only hate ever depicted towards Klinger is by characters that are considered antagonistic. Not to mention the multiple plotlines that are extremely supportive of homosexual characters.

Save for the first three seasons with Hawkeye and Trapper's overt "womanizing", it's an extremely woke show even by today's standards. Alda even spoke out against his character being written as such. At most, it's fairly misogynistic. I'm not really sure how you come up with transphobic though, unless you haven't really watched it.

One of, if not my favorite shows ever. I don't understand why so many people I know are entirely dismissive of it. The hacking is accurate, the characters are compelling, and the plotline is amazing. It inspired me to get into Cybersecurity.

Sure, but automatic shufflers are getting more and more common. Not to mention, you have to have a fairly large starting pot to have a hope of making a decent profit. Then even if you do everything right, you still have a relatively high chance of going in the red.

Guake is awesome too

Absolutely, just the issue isn't with the word "female" or "male", it's with the objectification and sexualization. We don't have to vilify a word because it describes the subject of undue sexualization. "Person" or "human" could also be used, but I'd bet nobody would raise a stink about that.

If it were a slur or something, that'd be completely different, but this is just a term that people don't use on a normal basis, unless they're part of a smaller group (military, science, maybe ESL) that does use it more than the general populace. Just because you're not used to it, doesn't make it wrong. Vilify the person, not the normal language they use.

I certainly would and do describe people by "male" or "female" daily, along with everyone in the military, and anyone else that isn't afraid of words.

No - drone light shows weren't used in cargo cults

Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.
