  • Tl;dr an E overdose is not possible

    You’re all over the place here,. I’ll try to answer all your questions and untangle all these crossed loops.

    An “accidental overdose” is ODing on a drug unintentionally. If you OD because you did not even look at dosage recommendations, or you did and ignored them, then that’s intentional.

    If I open my sink cabinet and just close my eyes and drink a cleaning solution, I am not “having an accident”. I did not know what I drank, I did not know what it’s effects are, but I did know that was a bad idea and I willfully put myself at extreme risk.

    When it comes to Clavicular, he did not accidentally OD, he was intentionally, willfully, knowingly putting himself into harm over and over. That man is so very obviously mentally disturbed and committing self-harm. His sterilization, though he may not have specifically set out to do it, was certainly part of this intentional self harm.

    To reach the LD50 of estrogen, the point at which 50% of people will die, you have to inject yourself with 77 gallons of EEn solution! Even if you put E into your veins pure, you will asphyxiate from lack of red blood in your veins, long before you die of estrogen toxicity.

    40% of us are going to commit suicide. 40%. To even hint at the idea you could OD on E, in a society where we are ignored and untreated to the point where we are eating bullets, is extremely dangerous.

    I am not “quibbling with meanings” with you . I am explicit yelling to the sky and anyone who can hear me, to tell them to do what they need! It is far far far far more dangerous to simply live in your trans body while receiving less E than you need, than it is to experiment.

    You can not OD on E.




  • It’s not sexist to think it looks like a car for people who want a cute, little compact car that lets everyone know they have scratch. That’s just what it looks like.

    “Missy mcmansion” could easily be a young man who wants those things in a car. He will likely embrace the term because he doesn’t think women and their associated descriptors are inherently “less than”. This looks looks like a car for a cute purse, a blowout, and a manicure.

    I didn’t use “missy” to denigrate. I used it as marker for lifestyle choices regardless of sex or gender. You certainly picked up on my dripping distaste, but it’s because I think the car looks silly, just like the SUV, and neither fit my lifestyle choices. When I think the big matcho SUV is dumb, am I being sexist?

    If it makes you feel any better, I always loved the Miata, because it looks like she’s got skin under her nails, cute but not to be played with lightly, and that fits my aesthetic just fine.

    Edit: lol, you’re mad because I said “bottom energy” and you thought “woman energy” and had to put your misogynistic thoughts on me to make yourself feel better after I explained it 😝





  • Also, the books were an afterthought. His primary motivation was to create languages.

    He was so into it that he quickly realized that to really create a language, with all the little fractal nuances he loved about real languages, he would need a web of dense, ancient and modern connections. So he started building that history full of minutiae. Finally, at the end of the journey he realized he had enough of a universe that it was almost trivially easy to just stitch stuff into stories.

    The lotr books, in all their densely meaningful beauty, are just fluff, extra, lagniappe, the savory drippings of an entire universe he had birthed and nurtured inside him, just for the love of creating and understanding.


  • Slapping their name on a dumpy SUV was a a stupid cash grab too. For me, the difference is that I expected it to be a dumpy cash grab to separate mcmansioners from their poolhouse money.

    If Ferrari said “we’re going to release a little electric, suburban grocery-getter”, my response would have been “well that looks about right”. Just like with the SUV.

    When I hear Ferrari is releasing their “first electric car” my mind immediately starts thinking about what kind of little mean monster they could release with all that torque. I am disappointed when I see what looks like another dumpy cash grab, but this one is for missy mcmansion to take to her first day of college.

    But then again, I care for speed alone. The scream of an ic engine is neat but to me, secondary. There are probably plenty of gasheads who are just pissy because “electricity is liberal” or something.

    Thank you for putting in the time to so thoroughly explain what you meant. I agree completely. This meme would hit the same no matter who it was. And really, if it was a conventionally handsome man, it would likely be more “making fun of his appearance” than it is with this lady. A dude with a chiseled jawline looks way more like a titan physically, and therefore his looks would be more part of the joke.
