As an American that confusion is the entire reason I opened the article. Then I saw "Australia" and "Crown Prosecution Service" and stopped being confused.

He's not upset that he's being labeled as cisgender, he's upset that the labels cisgender and transgender exist in the first place. He knows what the word means, that it's not an insult, and that it accurately describes him. He's acting insulted specifically to spread the idea that the word cisgender is an insult. He's doing this to push back against our society normalizing the concepts of transgender and cisgender. If he was only upset about himself being called that, I would agree with you that we should just accept his odd preference and move one, but he's actively working against anyone being called cisgender or transgender. That's the problem and that's why people are not being tolerant of his label preferences.

Like the could drag his dumpy fat ass off the stage before he's ready to move while keeping him covered. They did the best they could with a man so driven by theatrics and ego.

If this was a false flag I doubt the secret service agents would be in on it anyway. Now, I wouldn't put it past Trump to fake an assassination attempt, but I would be surprised if he pulled one off without any blatant mistakes or leaks. I guess we'll see, but there isn't enough public information yet to jump to any conclusions. There are plenty of people with plenty of reasons to want the man dead after all.

I would say it's symbiotic to the continued survival and propegation of their genes, but not to their well-being as individuals.

The issue with having mandatory useless comments is that any actually useful comments get lost in the noise.

The first sentence is real, the rest is just a fun bit of hyperbole. It really is not that common for an overprotective father to brandish a gun at his daughter's new boyfriend, but it has happened enough times to become something of a trope.

It's not meant to be a stereotype applied to all men, just the a thing that some men do. It happens when a man assumes, perhaps subconsciously, that the woman he is speaking to is his intellectual inferior and would surely benefit from his opinion on whatever topic without any regard to her possible expertise on the topic, or even his own lack thereof. I've rarely witnessed it myself, but know women who have had to put up with it. Stereotypeing all men as "manslainers" would be rude, but mocking the men who actually behave that way is cool with me.

Oh yeah, rub my face in those gorgeous technicalities. You want to mock my logical fallacy? Do it. Point out my fallacy and laugh; I can take it.

They are paid both taxpayer and private money to put things, including people now, safely into orbit. A thing they do frequently and reliably, without any explosions. Yes, their dramatically destructive development method of launching unproven prototypes and pushing them to the limit does seem wasteful, but it actually has allowed their engineers to very effectively identify the weak points in their systems and remove or compensate for them, resulting in designs that are redundant only where needed, but still reliable. Despite a lot of competition from international and the older American aerospace companies, they remain one of the most cost effective and reliable options for space launches in the game.

Now, I'm all for some Musk mocking these days after how much of a jackass he's revealed himself to be, and I am now convinced that Space-X succeeded in spite of him, but it is successful.

Yeah, my first thought is that the 'map games' are the side hoe to my factory game addiction, which is mostly Factorio.

I love how the bottom one has a parrot perch instead of a hand, and the first one is just regular bear wearing a belt for some reason.

If the politicians and bureaucrats that Trump and friends pushed out are like murky swamp water, then the ones he brought in are like raw sewage, so I always said that he only wanted to "drain the swamp" so he'd have room to pump in said raw sewage.
