Initial-eclipse - You Force It To Yield

not gonna lie im really feeling the danger in the world rn. this site has really doubled down on transmisogyny. its always been bad but lately its absurd. ppl responding to trans women being sexually harassed en masse by calling us hysterical and crazy to b upset. every week the discourse focuses on a new transfem who dared to be unpalatable in ways that are perfectly fine for tme ppl. the obsession with our sexual lives whether its our kinks or just demanding sexual availability. the revival of a thousand year old slur for "effeminate males" to hurl at us when were inconvenient and loud. the expectation that we all stay quiet and tiptoe around other ppls hangups n discomfort, deny ourselves liberation where it would cause others a loss of privilege. its fucking bleak.

I’m here to debate Steven Universe with you

Australia is presented with significant demands when it comes to safeguarding its own maritime interests, including being able to keep highly strategic maritime trade routes open, in the Pacific and beyond. Increasing regional competition with China, as well as the prospect of Australia becoming embroiled in a major conflict in the Pacific in support of various allies and partners, including the United States, are clearly of particular concern to Australian authorities.

Every piece written on Australian defense policy invariably approaches the Joke

I've started mentally describing every instance of delayed gratification, especially when chosen but even when not, (e.g. Seeing a painting from across the art gallery that you think you will especially enjoy, and not walking right to it but instead enjoying the nearer paintings first, or having a delay on your approach to a place you're excited for) as "like edging". I think I might be onto something about the nature of pleasure

people talk about “compromise” like it is inherently a virtue and not a certain tactic for certain situations
