Violence in exchange for healthcare is celebrated by a lot of people.

I heard that's what they did for your mom's house.

Trans is short for transgender. Being transgender is not identifying with the gender assigned at birth, so I don't see the issue with the foreword.

Nobody has ever yelled at me for eating or posting a picture of my American Midwest grocery store sushi, get the fuck outta here.

The irony here is that the term cultural appropriation has been politically appropriated, the same way that many of these explorative racial theories are, like woke, like social justice, like critical race theory. They are taken from their academic settings and eventually used to suppress actual concerns raised by denegrating it and reducing it to something that is both laughable and fundamentally not what it is.

They talk big words and say nothing. It's an argument method where they attempt to look good/smart and goad other people into looking angry. In this particular case, they want you to reply angrily and say "Look how intolerant they are to me, and I was just pointing out how intolerant they really were!"

What you're talking about is something bigger than simple novelty. It kinda sounds like depression, and that's a lot harder to fight against than breaking routine. I mean, breaking routine helps me a little bit, but it's certainly not the cure.

But if you want to argue there's only a limited number of things to do for free, you can spin that the other way, too. There is only a limited number of things to buy. I dunno, that kinda makes me feel better, but I'm weird like that.

I think I'm gonna keep badmouthing CEOs, thank you very much.

Not all new things cost money. You can walk a new way to the same places. You can find new books at the library or online. You can just do things you already do in a different way, and that can be novelty.

Unlike the current system, where healthcare becomes completely out of reach of normal people.

That guy is the worst fucking developer I've ever known.

Nudity is also not inherently sexual. You can be naked for reasons outside of having sex, such as cleaning yourself, using the bathroom, changing outfits, sunbathing, relaxing, etc. None of those are inherently sexual.

Wearing drag is not sexual either. It's been a thing for centuries, and that's just the easily identifiable stuff.

Wearing kink gear is not inherently sexual, though I can understand that you don't recognize that because it has connotations. But you can wear it without it being a sexual act.

"Expressing" sexuality is purposefully vague. Is kissing expressing sexuality? Is holding hands? Children do those. That would be an expression of your sexual orientation. You aren't really making any sense.
