I'm confused. Isn't quadrant 2 usually the authoritarian left and depicted with red? Meanwhile the Authoritarian right(blue) is still quadrant 1 and Libertarian right (cream) is still quadrant 4. So who's the polar bear??

This whole compass is all wonky and now I don't know whether I'm ok with murder or not.

It's North America from an upside down perspective.

"You've activated my trap card, your son is banished to the shadow realm!"

Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.

We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.

Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn't like what was going on, and bailed.

No, hostile is exactly the word. These are not tactless mistakes - no one is living under a rock and unaware of the conflict of gender. They've either digested transphobic rhetoric and accepted it or they've understood the obtuseness of the binary and course corrected. Frankly, if you haven't course corrected, you deserve hostility from the trans community imo.

The only reason someone would be asking what sex you are is if they are wanting to play cloak and dagger romance, where you never state your intentions and still somehow expect to get into the other person's pants. That's not a healthy way to romance and never was, and is likely a big reason for why such a large proportion of people get sexually assaulted in the US.

The issue of trans people in sports is a bullshit non-issue and has been for a while. It is exclusively a talking point to try and get laymen to agree that trans people should be regulated. It's conclusion is the policing of all women's bodies. It's already been debunked to the moon and back, so if you don't give a shit enough to even look up how stupid your claim is, You don't deserve any amount of respect or tact in this conversation.

It's mostly just a way of communicating the bizarre nature of infinite series and other problems related to infinity. Just fun thought experiments.

The question "are you male or female" in any convo outside a medical screening is also rude (and kind of a poor question in that context). The question framing is also explicitly hostile towards not-binary identification, as it's assuming that the person's biological sex matters more than their own self-perception.You should instead just ask their pronouns or how they identify.

It's passive aggressiveness responded in kind with passive aggressiveness. The questioner also keeps pushing, so the gun is a very explicit and aggressive "BTFO and let me live my life, stop trying to force me into one of your boxes"

That's pretty common actually. It's called IWB CC (Inside Waist Band Concealed Carry). There's also AIWB (Appendix Inside Waistband), sometimes just called Appendix carry. The big issue is that it's not inside a holster. The holster gaurds the trigger so that an ND is more difficult. Holsters also have retention so you're less likely to have a gun drop, where the gun falls off your person unexpectedly.

Honestly pretty aesthetic way to write the 't'. Bet it feels great too.

The exact line of the preamble of The United States Constitution is "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,..."

It's a direct allusion to the United States' foundational document, and rephrasing that allusion does not make it less nationalist.

It's also a document which many US citizens strongly identify with, and they are invoking that phrase explicitly to gain rapoire and support from those US citizens. Rephrasing "We the People" would only dilute that virtue signal and lower its efficacy.

This whole thing reads not like a codebase versus, but a traditional engineering approach (don't act like you can patch this once you release it - get it done so it's stable the first time) versus the more modern "move fast and break things" approach.
