It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
I made the mistake of going to her Twitter to see the actual tweet but I couldn’t find it in the fucking ocean of anti-trans shit she is tweeting and retweeting.
Including the Communist Party of Great Britain too when they put out an anti-trans statement. She has completely lost her mind.
This is another reason why you shouldn’t have billionaires. Now that they don’t gotta work, all they do is tweet (see also Elon).
Dont you think its sad? They could do anything they want but they spend their time on that site.
Im a complete loser and severly mentally ill yet even i have better things to do than to go there.
Its like midas shit you have all the gold but you are still miserable.
it actually comforts me a little like as miserable and suicidal I am, I know I’m more fulfilled than jkr or chaya raichik
When I curl up at night clutching whatever mental peace I've managed to scrape together, I feel all the warmer and snugger for knowing that these empty ghouls can only prowl the digital wastes looking for their next narcisstic supply.
Imagine the opportunity cost of being on Twitter as a rich person. Any second you're scrolling through paid content (I feel that Rowling doesn't know about adblock) is a second where you can't sleep, eat genuine wasabi, do LSD on a super soft carpet or fund and organize domestic [redacted]
Communist Party of Great Britain [...] put out an anti-trans statement.
:ukkk:

cpgb or cpgb-ml?
they are both fucking shit to be clear, but ml is significantly worse
in a parallel universe, another bubble of expanding spacetime seperated by unimaginable physical distances, there lies an exact copy of Earth down to the subatomic level, although existing nearly two hundred years in the "past". a man, Friedrich Engels, the unremarkable son of factory owners, is again having another late night discussion with his best friend and comrade.
suddenly he feels a sharp, cold almost knife-like sensation start at the top of his spine and end at his tailbone. he immediately doubles over and throws up.
"too much to drink?" his friend asks. "no Karl. I just felt something i can't describe."
Alan Moore called, he wants his snippet of From Hell back
Argghhhh that's not what the quote means arrrghhh!
Trans people have always existed and language is catching up. Nothing has been renamed, we just gave names to things that didn't have them before. There isn't any contrivance there, that's just how language do be all the times. It's almost as precisely as far away from the mark as you could get from that quote.
There was a super cute story in one of my Polynesian anthropology textbooks. So a teenager named "Maria" kept acting like a boy and hooking up with girls. So the village got together and had a renaming ceremony. Maria became Mario. Got married to a woman a few years later. Adopted some kids. Everyone moved the fuck on.
There were some like...fairly minor things to get around when I was way younger but that was mostly cause abolishing gender as a concept had been sorta the stance I had learned and it took a bit of learning to get to where I fully understood things or at least as much as I do now, but it never once occurred to me thst being trans wasn't valid or anything. Like even if deep down I never believed it, that wouldn't really matter cause it's what other people wanna do with themselves.
Couldn't agree more with you, especially that last part. Like sure people do things I don't approve of but if they aren't hurting other people it's none of my business. Nobody is being harmed because a person wants new pronouns, a new name, or a change in appearance.
That's why JK is such an asshole. I've never seen a person make such a mountain out of a molehill in my life. And on a shit website no less. Real big loser energy for all to see.
As In jkr meant something else or Engels did?
I am curious
Engles.
