Leonard Nimoy and the animal actor who portrayed the Alfa 177 canine (in all likelyhood) are both dead.

I would prefer a world where a cute happy dog and Leonard Nimoy were still with us and William Shatner had died, twice.

Also this doggo is absolutely adorable in that costume

The wrong two of those actors are dead. ☹️
It should have been Shatner, twice.

It is not “pointless nitpicking”. It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what “sex” is
3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one “in casual conversation” considers someone “sexless” when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the “sex” of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can’t imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I’m not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they’re never gonna let you into the car.

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

“Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.

…it isn’t real?

The objective metric is how high and long you can draw out notes.

Doesn’t that unfairly favor states at higher altitudes?

If you have a couple of Alexa devices

…then you have a couple too many. Why do you want Jeff Bezos listening to your fuck?

I’ve been watching it again, I had the impression Steve stopped doing drag cause he married Mimi and whatever reasons came up from that.

Yeah, I think that might have been the implication, but they still should have addressed how first off that’s a fucked thing to ask of someone and if they went that way they should have at least addressed how it was a very big deal for Steve to make that adjustment for her and not just dropped that aspect of the character in later seasons. In addition to questioning why Mimi had a problem with it.

It put out in the viewing audience how you can just request Queer people quit doing queer things and they can or should respond with “Okie!”` ^.

And they were surprisingly progressive about it, too.

I need to rewatch the series before "10-4"ing that (at the very least the fact that what should be a major part of someone’s self conception was treated as a thing which could be dropped without issue or comment is troubling.)

Totally remember when Oswald got boobs though. That sort of thing plants some seeds, I tell ya. (“If you had a hand on your head we’d want to shake it.”)

Drew’s character also got civil union’d before anyone in his country could get gay married as I recall, but again I’ll need to rewatch how that was handled prior commenting.

I do remember taking issue with some of the social structures reinforced in some of the show’s humor, such as Drew looking up the definition of sexual harassment, " ‘Any unwelcome sexual advance.’? that’s every sexual advance I make!" I viewed that more as making light of sexual harassment than self-depreciation on Drew’s part.

I don’t personally care for Drew Carey—the sort of asshole who supports Ron Paul—and haven’t since he told a joke in 2003, “My girlfriend’s a Democrat; well… she hasn’t actually come out as a Democrat but she’s always bitching.” despite allegedly being critical of the united states invasion of Iraq himself.

Some of the company he keeps I fuck with so heavily it’s not like I’m calling on his canceling. He’s just that friend you wish would be a better person (and stop voting for Garry Johnson).

Drew in drag

As you say, it wasn’t.

The Carey who wore drag was Steve (until they dropped it in later seasons for no reason)

It’s possible Drew did drag in an episode I don’t recall at present, but he didn’t even do drag in the Rocky Horror episode (content warning: donald trump is in that episode)

So I suppose we know who’s fault 4loko is

Sadly, it has never been released on DVD.

Here you go.

The Fediverse is the Fediverse by not being Meta. You are arguing for destroying the Fediverse for everyone by waving Meta in.

Why do you keep putting my and others’ @ in your messages? If that’s a your instance thing it’s weird.

that’s not how the perception of the masses works, though.

How can allowing access to everything on something people start out viewing as the defualt make it seem like less of the default?

Only by things existing outside of threads can people realize it it not.

people hate Facebook. Or Meta.

I agree; people rightly hate facebook and meta

I never said that people should use Threads to join the Fediverse. I said that people who already use Threads can be more easily convinced to join this place.

How will you convince them if they can get everything the fediverse offers without leaving Threads?

I don’t think letting people interact with you without leaving Meta hurts Meta, no.

Building something bad actors aren’t allowed to access and telling people about it without letting Meta play middleman is how you get people off meta,not throwing open the doors to Evil.

This didn’t work, sadly.

How much are those relationships worth then?

And it doesn’t work because such platforms make you think that they are the default

You make Meta seem more like the default by allowing contact with you through it. Be something they can’t access while associating with evil.
