I’ve taken to calling myself “asexual”. While not technically true, since I feel the desire, at least this way people don’t try to pressure me into interactions I’m uncomfortable with.

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can’t stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse
I wouldn’t say he’s a source of information at all. His videos are opinion pieces. As far as I’ve noticed he rarely gives any hard numbers, or claims to know things outside of the mainstream news.
The more I see people online trashtalking New Jersey, the more I want to visit
And not a monkey’s paw moment.

Me from roughly 5 years ago gets his dreams fulfilled
I used to be what Americans call libertarian. Capitalism and free market ftw. I thought it would lead to a freer society.
At some point I understood that the consequences of capitalism lead away from what is actually my real goal - maximizing the liberty of each individual. If someone is afraid if they can afford food and housing they can’t really be free.
Now I support certain types of socialist policies with the same goal.
Technically they could. Just that nobody is brave enough to suggest it
Have an existental crisis. I’m serious. But have a low level one, a high level will paralize you.
Move away from parents home if you haven’t already. Preferably to live alone. The feeling of having a whole place to yourself is amazing.

Sigh unfortunately it’s true. One thing I learned about American culture through the years is that everything must have a race. Food, drink, sports, music, neighborhoods, bus lines, careers … Everything is assigned a race and only people of that race can use it without criticism
First LGBTQ people are still people they don’t have a monolithic view of the world.
Trans people usually do think gender is an important thing, that’s why they transition. And for people who do think gender is a social construct (both lgbtq and not) why would they care if someone wants to change it, it doesn’t matter anyway.
The point is in acceptance. You want to be perceived in a different role? Sure there you go.
It doesn’t matter, it’s all bs. But for many people it’s hard to exist without a script to play. If someone feels more comfortable playing a different role who am I to say no

Well said. I often think that discrimination in general is actually based on errors in what’s known as feature selection in ML.
Humans observe the world, notice certain patterns (such as between weight and sex), but then unconsciously perform dimensionality reduction to simplify their mental model of the world. Our software is unfortunately buggy.
There’s also the question of training dataset. If you always see people of certain sex in specific roles, you might conclude that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
There’s a commonly shared but apocryphal story about models recognizing cloudy skies instead of tanks because of the data they were trained on.
