Look again, mate! The one on the right, almost out of the shot.

What if the refractive index of elvish eyes were somehow absurdly high? Paired with a very high resolution and sensitivity retina of course.

I've come to see this issues in a particular way, but I don't mean in any way to invalidate anyone's feelings or identity, let that be clear.

Transness is defined by the transphobes the same as race is defined by the racist, in a world without transphobia we would not think of trans/cis people, just people.

I'll explain through a personal example. I myself am more or less in the same boat as you (tho I'm amab and usually viewed universally as a man specially up close), but I haven't suffered the same discrimination as trans people ever. Damn I use the women bathrooms a lot of times and no one has given me any shit. With race is the same, my sister and I have the same parents (and therefore same genetic ancestry) but she's dark skinned and I can get sunburnt in January, her hair's black/dark brown and mine's dark blonde, her curls are more kinky than mine, and her nose is flat and mine pointy. When stopped by the police they asked her for 'her papers' and me my id card. I've never got racist comments from teachers, been followed in a store, or asked to pay in a bar before being served while the other (white) people weren't. She has.

So I am not trans or racialized, because I don't share the struggle of trans and racialized people. It can even depend on the context, I think. In some place and time (or any other million factors) I can consider a person trans (or racialized) while I wouldn't if they were in a different context.

Math's off. You would move 116 m at 83 m/s, but since you are decelerating (accelerating in the opposite direction of your velocity really) it would be half of that, wouldn't it (honest question I'm already in bed and quite sleepy so my math can be off too)?

Lol 3.5 years! The damage done in just these three months would take decades to fix. I think it's very likely that America will never recover from four years of Trump.

'The amount of bees that a couple million average colonies loses every day to natural hazards is way higher than would be lost with a couple million servings of this.' Or 'The amount of bees that an average colony loses every couple million days to natural hazards is way higher than than would be lost with a couple servings of this'

I can consider acceptable for the kettles to be connected to the internet if, and only if, they answer always with a 418 status code.

Yeah that's why Christian's don't do animal sacrifices, but the Ten Commandments are still valid, are they not? So is the rest of god's magic book, a book that 'Christians' tend to not follow when they don't feel like it. Not a Christian btw, just pointing out the hypocrisy of saying you have the word of god written and the don't even RTFM.

'Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.' Jesus F. Christ

You were raised in blasphemy then.

The concept of a smart ring shouldn't be patentable, and maybe it isn't im not sure. IP laws are really broken, all laws are but I think IP even more so.

Oh you already have! Does 'Rural Right-wingers taking the roads with their giant vehicles' ring a bell?

Wanna know why you don't see any pigs breaking these protests? Because these are land owners. They are protesting environmental laws, asking for (even more) handouts, and taxes and fuel prices reductions (for them, not for everyone) all of this supported by the Russia funded far-right party. The irony is so dense you could stick a magnet: they ask for money because of the droughts, or any other extreme weather event and without skipping a beat demand to 'relax' the regulations.
