!oldstrags did you know Metafilter still exists? It does!
Did you know it's a giant circlejerk even more insular than reddit? Of course you did.
(For those who don't know, MeFi is an ancient internet forum that costs $5 to join. It's like SomethingAwful if it were never funny, or rdrama if you losers had jobs and could afford 5 dollars to keep out the thirdies)
Anyway, in 2014 they had a struggle session about thinking the unspeakable wrongs.
Wendy Carlos is a transwoman. Seriously, I mentioned this once and it got instadeleted because WTF? apparently some longstanding flame war of which I wasn't even aware.
I don't know who Wendy Carlos is, but I know that trans women
are
women
. There's no such thing as a "transwoman".
Anyway, after few thousand comments the thread devolves into people getting their fee-fees hurt and demanding apologies
If you want a personal apology for a comment that was not directed at you then you might as well just come out and say so instead of continuing to harp on it despite the fact that sweetkid has explained her reasoning and sincerely apologized to the actual people involved.
Then later on, down the end there's a big argument about whether it's okay to dox a 27 year old dude who really really likes a 17 y/o
This comment does not look to me like an apology or an expression of misunderstanding. It looks to me like an admission he googled the information and intentionally doxxed someone he was characterizing as a "libertarian" and "sexual predator."
So folks are free to read the actual MeTa I am recalling and decide for themselves whether or not I am wildly misremembering anything or mischaracterizing it.
Y'all can't behave!

Canada, as it turns out, isn't broken. That was the message coming out of Pierre Poilievre's big rebrand rally, where he tried to reposition himself as a champion of Canada's virtues rather than just another critic of its failures. And while Liberal partisans will look skeptically on this attempted political metamorphosis, the biggest doubters might actually be some of his erstwhile fans: the freedom convoy.
Right out of the gate it clearly is a hit piece on Pierre.
Check the social media accounts of any prominent convoy participant, whether it's Tamara Lich, Pat King, or their dedicated transcriptionists in the alt-press, and their sympathy for Donald Trump and antipathy towards Canada becomes immediately apparent. "Your sudden, newfound, fake patriotism is truly indicative of how stupid you think we are," Lich said. "The entitlement of certain Canadians is humorous," fellow organizer Chris Barber wrote. "If we had leadership in Canada who cared about Canadians like Trump cared about Americans β¦ we wouldn't be in this situation."
Yes the !leafs who like freedom want to be part of a country that unarguably has more rights and freedoms.
They insist the real problem isn't Trump's ongoing threats to our sovereignty but Justin Trudeau's continued existence β and, of course, the injustices and affronts that were inflicted upon them by his government. Rupa Subramanya, one of the most sympathetic chroniclers of the convoy's exploits, suggested that "Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US."
Trudeau drove the country into the shitter. He is why it sucks here. I don't give a frick about Trump and his "threats", "threats" which amount to "We'll make you a full state and give you all full citizenship in the best country on the gods green earth"
That's right: for these folks, public health orders aimed at protecting them and their fellow citizens are a greater threat to their liberty than an American government explicitly threatening their liberty. Policies like vaccine mandates and mask regulations β most of which, it's worth reiterating, were implemented by provincial governments β are worth resisting, apparently, but unjustified economic warfare is best met with submission and docility.
Yes forcing me to wear a mask that doesn't stop the spread (inb4: well you shoulda worn a kn95! No I don't care they were sold out everywhere and tons of the one in circulation were fake!) and get vaxxed to be able to buy food (This was seriously floated and why I finally gave in, well that and being able to work) is and was a massive threat to my freedom.
Getting to be American is the opposite of a threat to my freedom.
In some respects, the convoy's refusal to join the rest of the country in its fight against Trump's repeated provocations isn't all that surprising.
The convoy is over. It ended years ago. This is some g*mergate in current year shit.
What brought them to Ottawa in 2022 wasn't love of their country but hatred of the government in charge of it
No shit r-slur
hich helps explain the very conspicuous presence of American flags, Trump flags, and even Confederate and Nazi flags. It's why they plotted, at least in the beginning, to overthrow that government. And it's why, in a moment where the country they claim to love is being actively threatened with economic and political subjugation, they're rooting for the person doing the threatening.
I'm getting a stars and bars shirt just to piss off this jslu
They're welcome to believe whatever they want, of course. That's one of the virtues of living in a free and democratic society: you can pretend it's a woke dictatorship if that makes you feel better about your life choices.

AITA for continuously triggering her trypophobia?
(Trypophobia is an intense and disproportionate fear or disgust for holes, bumps, or patterns that are clustered together or repetitive)
(aka r-slurred)
I (19F
) have had acne for so long that I honestly can't remember my skin without it. I used to wear a lot of concealer to cover it up, but that only made things worse. Eventually, I realized my skin was controlling my life (and draining my bank account π), so when I started at a new school, I decided to stop wearing makeup
. My skin still isn't great, but I'm on medication, so I have some hope that it will improve.
Here's the problem: There's a girl in my class, let's call her Callie (18F
), who has trypophobia [is r-slurred]. I had no idea until we were put in a group together. The moment I spoke to her, she started crying. Naturally, I asked what was wrong, and she screamed at me that my face was triggering her trypophobia
. Her friends immediately jumped in to comfort her
while I just sat there, confused, wondering if I was supposed to apologize for my skin, something I obviously didn't choose to have
.
When I tried to speak again, she told me to shut up and leave because I was "
drawing attention to myself by talking.
" I asked what she expected me to do about it, and she said I could at least wear concealer. I explained that it wasn't an option because it's expensive
and just worsens my acne. Her friends glared at me and called me selfish
.
That was just the first incident. Ever since, anytime I sit near Callie or have to present in front of the class, she starts dry heaving or crying
(having a panic attack?)
. It's disrupting lessons so much that my teacher pulled me aside and asked if I could just wear concealer for the sake of keeping the peace. She admitted it wasn't fair but said she couldn't think of another solution.
I already feel like such a freak because of my skin. I know my skin is horrid,
but why am I the one expected to cater to Callie? I didn't choose to have acne any more than she chose to have trypophobia. I can't help but feel like I'm being unfairly treated here, but at the same time, I know she can't control her reaction either.
So⦠AITA? Should I just wear the darn concealer?

In a bizarre turn of events, a university dormitory in China went up in flames after a student, in a moment of panic, set fire to his s*x doll to keep it hidden from his roommates. The incident took place at Hefei University of Technology in Anhui province on February 10, when the student, fearing exposure, made a rash decision that nearly resulted in disaster.

The younger brother told investigators that he would see the teacher and his brother "exiting the 1st-floor bathroom together, both wearing towels and wet."
The sister told detectives that the children would sleep in a shared room on the second floor but frequently noticed her brother would not be in his bed the next morning and would instead be sleeping in Caron's bed with her β the victims' younger brother, who was eight years old when he started living with the teacher, also said the same in a statement to law enforcement two days later.
One night while the younger brother was supposed to be sleeping, he told police he witnessed Caron, then 26, molest his brother, 11, while they were on a reclining chair watching a movie with a blanket over them.
In 2019, following the birth of the child, the victim began permanently sleeping in Caron's room and started to keep clothes in her dresser, according to the younger brother to police.
According to the criminal complaint, the crimes were first raised to police following a darning Facebook post by the victims' father who called out the uncanny resemblance of Caron's son to his son on December 12, 2024.

The seal, believed to be about five or six weeks old, was found in the middle of Chapel Street near East Street. Police blocked off the area to keep it safe until the DEEP and Mystic Aquarium arrived.
"It definitely was concerning for us when we say he was amidst all that hustle and bustle of the city," said animal rescue technician Francesca Battaglia.
Battaglia said this wasn't the first time the aquarium's animal rescue team had seen the seal. He was in Branford last week, and on Saturday, he was spotted β maybe more fitting β next to Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill on South Water Street in New Haven.
"We're like, he's still bright and alert and looking good," she said. "Maybe we can just relocate him to a safe beach, and so our team did do that. But then, unfortunately, the next day, he showed back up in the middle of the city there."
