Oh I never said it would happen. It will never happen.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 5 hours ago:
I don’t see how that is naive at all. We prop Israel up. If the president calls Bibi and threatens to stop all aid, unless they imposed a ceasefire, it would happen. They have so much power, tech and weaponry because we give it to them. If we pointed the barrel of the most powerful military on earth at them, they would cease immediately.

It would take one phone call from the President, and the genocide would stop. Biden could have done it, and Trump still can. I don’t see the US governments unwavering support of Israel ever ending.

Many of us are looking on in horror of what is happening. There is nothing we can do, lest we too be jailed, or worse, killed by the gestapo. Just waiting for them to come for me next. I really need to get a passport.
Just giving a bit of perspective. Fuck the United States.

Where do you think I’m from? I’m definitely from a country very close to what you have guessed!
Kidding aside, I’m from Michigan in the US. These Uber trips were from the town I was born in. I have no idea why I pronounce certain words the way I do. It certainly is not the way anyone else I’ve known speaks. Pretty odd, right?

- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 2 weeks ago:
When I was an Uber driver, like 10ish years ago, people would ask if I was from the US (I live in the US) often. Apparently the way I pronounce some things can come across as having an accent, which I don’t see. I think the only thing I pronounce differently is dollar; doh-llar. Why? I have no idea. At first I’d be like “nope, born and raised in this city”, but after a while I would lean into it, for fun. I’d ask “where do you think I’m from?”, and then respond with a country that is adjacent to their guess. It was always Eastern European, which I do have some distant lineage, but far far removed. I would then follow it up with the “just kidding, born and raised here” and we’d all have a good laugh. 🤷🏻♀️
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 weeks ago:
Chiropractic was literally invented by a man who didn’t feel like he needed to go to medical school. It is not based in science. This is not some new misinformation campaign. It has been well known, since the inception of it. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me. It’s quackery. It’s nice that it seems to have helped you. But again, not science.

It’s not creepy. But I could not imagine dating someone who is close in age to my adult children. It’s weird.

You really shouldn’t comment on the content of a video that you purposely have not watched. It comes across as smug and ignorant. Veritasium videos are well researched, and he does his best to not sensationalize. To suggest that he would promote pseudo-science is absolutely laughable.
Do better.
- Comment on Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities designed for commuters | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Allow me to dismiss this out of hand. How would the people even get access to such transportation? Some kind of point of gathering where they could collectively enter or exit these “pods”? Dumb. While we’re at it, and just for the sake of argument, these pods could go at significant speed since they’ll be on their own “rail“ systems (as you call them). This would dramatically decrease the travel time for commuters, but is of course ridiculous on its’ face! Best not to even consider trying such high speed “rail” systems. Back to the cars! ICE over the communist “EV”!

On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.
I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.

I gave up on that dream a couple of years ago.

My mom made no such effort, and gave up on calling me Jessica a couple of years ago. I’d cry my eyes out if she had sent me what your dad sent you. I know that she loves and cares about me, but she also refuses to see me as how I truly am. It’s such an odd experience, hurtful at many times. But she also bought me a car last year, and has offered to help me bridge the gap when I was off work for 2 weeks due to an injury. In spite of her non-support, I love her dearly.
What I’m getting at is that familial relationships are nuanced. Give your dad some credit for taking the time to research what being trans is about. Of course there is more to it than just the medical side of things, but he is trying.
Your age also factors into this as well.
My stepfather made several transphobic statements while he was alive. If he was still with us, I’d bet his conservative worldview would have changed a bit. I still hold him in high regard, because I know that he loved me and just wanted what he thought was best.
TL;DR: Family relationships are hard, and it seems like your dad is trying.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Without knowing the nuances of OP’s relationship with their father, it would seem that dad is trying. That text sounds like someone who did a lot of research and is trying to show that they cared enough to read up on the trans experience. Whether that leads to acceptance is something only OP will know or at least have an idea of.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Come on now. Having therapy should not be a requirement, but it should be encouraged. When someone has the courage to come out as trans, it can be a very difficult time. Having a professional that helps people who experience gender dysphoria can be a life saver. How many trans people have to go it alone in the beginning of their journey? If they have the means, I’d recommend it. Just reading studies or participating in trans spaces, for some folks, is not enough.
