"Non-binary trans" is a new one on me. Like I get being transgender and that's cool. I understand that some people identify as non-binary. Non-binary trans, though? What are you transitioning to? Are you transitioning from a gender you don't identify with to another that you don't identify with? Are they trying to decouple the concept of actually transitioning somewhere from the state of being trans?

When you go from feeling like a fee-male to feeling like a male, you've transitioned. Non-binary doesn't necessarily mean you're agender, which is not identifying as having a gender, it can mean you identify as both genders.

To quote from the non-binary thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/non-binary-ot-01101110-01101111-01101110.119742/

What is meant by non-binary?
Put simply, non-binary people don't fit into the binary choice of “Male or Female”. A non-binary person could be someone who has never identified enough with the default gender descriptions to fit in neatly to either category, it could be someone who feels as if they flit between the two, or it could even be a person who simply denies the idea that gender can be so easily and neatly separated into two categories.

For many people, their gender identity is never in question and acceptance of the binary gender norm is not even a consideration, for non-binary folk this specific gender norm isn't accurate.

This is no fad!
Non-binary peoples have existed forever. This isn't some fad or craze dreamt up to make ourselves feel special. As above, this is simply language catching up with the notion that people exist whose traits and personalities cannot be so neatly categorized.

There is no confusion, specificity is the opposite!
To reiterate: the point is we're using the term to update language to describe those of us who exist on the scale and not at either end. It's the precise opposite of confusion, it's a call for acknowledgment and acceptance of actual people who really do exist.

It's fucking stupid gibberish. And is almost always totally privileged people making a mockery of people who actually do struggle with this kind of thing in order to climb the progressive stack on the internet.

While I tend to follow, the reality is Bill Gates has been collecting revenue and hasn’t been working for “his money” for a looooong time.

If Bill gates puts in 40 hours a week, I’m all for him not getting his taxes hiked.

Put in that 40 hour week GATES!

the fuck

His job is his foundation. Any significant impact in taxes is going to hit his ability to invest his money how he sees fit, which is obviously going to make him less pleased.

Why should we care? I don't care about his investments when he has enough wealth that his family doesn't have to work for 100 generations (conservative estimate) while there are 500,000 homeless people in this country.

eat the (philanthropist?) rich!

He's a scam artist like all of the "philanthrapists". They claim to give away their money, you all fall for it (no thanks to the media), and he stays just as rich (or richer) than he was before he claimed he would give it away.

polio was a hoax

I watched this Netflix documentary. He seems to be doing some great stuff with the foundation. Or is that all a lie?
Genuine question.

Was it in the fiction or non fiction section of the netflix library!?!

Since there are so many posts talking about how he "earned" his billions and "deserves" such wealth, let me pose a question:

If him having wealth is a matter of him deserving it because he "earned" it, do homeless people also deserve to be homeless for not "earning" enough?

Because if you're going to argue he's a self-made man and he only has this fortune because of his own merits, than it follows that people with less only have less because of a lack of merits.

They seem to be under the impression that Gates just has a big ol fat bank account with a billion dollars sitting in it instead of just having a bunch of assets. Liquidating it all immediately just to get rid of it would do no one any good.

Are you transitioning from a gender you don't identify with to another that you don't identify with? Are they trying to decouple the concept of actually transitioning somewhere from the state of being trans?

Is what I'm questioning here basically the root of the "truscum" schism? I don't know because every time I Google these stupid terms the definition contains more of them.

And are they really going to start pretending that Era isn't a progressive forum and that its moderators aren't on their side? Or are people there too accepting so they need to up the difficulty?

To some degree I feel like it's a situation where relatively privileged people say "Man, being trans used to make me feel special, but now everyone's trans, so I gotta figure out a way to feel special compared to all those other trans people." Like, they won't be happy until they add more and more words and twist definitions until they come up with something that defines themselves and no one else, regardless of whether the new term has any real meaning left. And all it really does is end up creating new schisms and battle lines for people within the larger community to fight over.

Oh, and die cis scum.

I always have a good laugh about ending hunger/homelessness mainly because sure you can feed and house people, but if someone is a drug/alcohol addict, they're still going to be the same thing.

But sure just give them a free house they can make a drug/alcohol den, fuck it whilst you're at it why not just continually supply them with drugs.

this thread is still lit, people are under the impression that Donald Jr. is in office: https://www.resetera.com/threads/donald-trump-jr-just-tweeted-the-name-of-the-whistleblower.151529/post-26193039

The entire family needs to be wiped from existence.

This is it. The United States government is simply, by constitucion, not legally fit to shield the country against a tyrant and his group of crooks from ruling and living at their leisure, and at the nation's economic, political, institutional AND moral expense.

This thread is bizarre and the reactions are nonsensical. The name of the whistleblower was leaked by RealClearPolitics already.

Big difference between a website naming the guy and the executive branch putting it out on blast buddy.

This thread is bizarre and the reactions are nonsensical. The name of the whistleblower was leaked by RealClearPolitics already.

Ok right winger

It's classified info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair

Scooter Libby went to jail for this shit.

No, he didn't. The Plame "leaker" (Richard Armitage) was never prosecuted and was known from the start.

So... dude posts name of suspected whistleblower... which is illegal and puts the man and his family at risk from the crazies...

Nothing is done yet again.

I'd also like to point out that Donald Sr. has tweeted 8chan stuff before, so he probably knows his ways around child porn websites

But hey, Chris Jericho having him on his show is toooooootaly fine

What security clearance does Jr have? Wouldn’t you need to have a specific security clearance to know his name and other info right now? Sounds like this should be criminal.

Rand Paul needs to be arrested along with Trump Jr.

Arrest that man. AND his father.

I hope this guy is in protective custody.

You're talking about the same man [Donald Trump] who had raped a 13-year-old girl & had forced her to drop her lawsuit against him. The same man in which he had about 28 women suing him for sexual assault.

Trump Jr. is just as much a piece of shit as his dad is. They all need to be kicked out of office ASAP

Of course it’s a heinous crime.

I hope that when all this nightmare is over, that piece of shit ends up in prison.

So it turns out cheese is just there for the creamy texture. I discovered this today when I made some burgers without cheese (butter got all over my laundry) and found out that they were still pretty good and tasted pretty much identical to normal burgers. I'm still gonna put cheese on my burgers but I won't feel pressured to.

Anyone else nearly choke to death too? I wouldn't recommend it.

I think there's an element of that.

I also think there's an element of "I'm a MAN but I don't adhere 100% to my preconception of what A MAN is because I like to suck dick and wear lacy underwear, but instead of reevaluating my own preconceptions I am going to demand that the rest of the fucking world - including the language they use - changes their definitions to suit ME"


Also - especially on era - I'm pretty fucking sure there's an unhealthy dose of "yeah, its because these squares CAN'T HANDLE my super futuristic identity classification thats definitely not made up!" and not "Wow, I wonder if there is a reason why so many people actively fucking hate me so soon after talking to me and if I could do anything about that"

Petróleos Mexicanos, which translates to Mexican Petroleum, but is trademarked and better known as Pemex (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpemeks]), is the Mexican state-owned petroleum company, created in 1938 by nationalization or expropriation of all private, foreign, and domestic oil companies at that time. Pemex had total assets worth $415.75 billion, and was the world's second-largest non-publicly listed company by total market value (in December 2005),[2] and Latin America's second-largest enterprise by annual revenue as of 2009, surpassed only by Petrobras (the Brazilian National Oil Company).[3] The majority of its shares are not listed publicly and are under control of the Mexican government, with the value of its publicly listed shares totaling $202 billion in 2010, representing approximately one quarter of the company's total net worth.
