    You understand that's just NPR interviewing the same guy that wrote the original Intercept article, right? I mean, it literally acknowledges that in the article you just posted.

    Yes, but you didn't trust The Intercept, so I had to find it on a liberal platform you might consider. You might say I have to find the right outlet that will fit your biases so you'll be more willing to further investigate rather than dismiss it outright.

    That shouldn't be happening without good cause. Do you know if it's happening for a reason, or just for funsies? :chris:
    Putting very young children into hotel rooms by themselves doesn't sound like a great idea. :(

    It's probably safe enough for older kids, but you realize they still probably wouldn't be allowed to leave the premises until they're released to a properly vetted guardian, right? It's still a de facto holding facility. You're okay with that? :chris:
    Those are just more properly vetted guardians, aren't they? That doesn't get those kids out of cages while they're waiting for properly vetted guardians. :(
    Legal aid doesn't get those kids out of cages while they're waiting for properly vetted guardians. :(

    You seem to be under the impression I was looking for advice from people who don't give a fuck if it's not hampering their candidate. You'll have to try someone else.

    MY candidate, huh? You mean the "rapist" "I" "voted for" in the last American election? :chris:
    I still stand by this. :clyde:

    Yeah, you're Canadian. I tend to forget because you're so invested in protecting rapists like Joe Biden, coming to the defense of a party you don't have to deal with because you have the privilege to step away any time you like. No one else here speaks up for a country in which they aren't even a citizen like you. I remember @Midnight Funeral used to do that shit, too. Always got involved in US politics despite it not affecting him one iota.

    Wait, Amaris is a witch too?
    Amaris, did you fireball UA? :nono:

    I mean, we've all wanted to do it, but you don't actually act on it.

    TNZ is a private forum. The Red Room is a public forum. I don't think it's against the rules because it's not the Blue Room, but it's still a shit thing to do. I hope the people over in TNZ know you can't be trusted not to post their stuff here for all to see.

    It's a good thing I told some of you folks I was transgender before you decided to just air all of it out here on a public forum.

    Shit, I didn't know it was a TNZ thing when I was typing my last post. :whew:

    I haven't been to TrekBBS since I was banned, so I can't remember if TNZ was/is private or not.

    It is shitty to drag shit in from anywhere outside of WF though.
    My personal rule is to try to win an argument with what's in my head, or news/science article links.
    I dunno, maybe that's a high-falutin samurai code, but I don't think it's a hard ask for others to stick to.

    It isn't private, it's a hidden forum forum that anyone can opt in to

    "What happens in TNZ stays in TNZ," according to @T'Bonz.

    Again, whether that applies here or not, who knows? The thing is, you knew what you were doing when you did it, and this was your opportunity to dig in as much as you could.

    Last year you were incredibly angry that everyone here didn't already know you were transgender. Don't pretend like it's supposed to be some big TNZ secret now. :shrug:

    It's that old Christian persecution complex, applied across every aspect of Amaris' life.

    Easier than taking responsibility for being a toxic asshole, I guess. :clyde:

    I've found myself strange bedfellows with a lot of people I never would have agreed with before over the past year. Losing your job twice during the pandemic will do that.

    You righties loathe context, don't you?

    Yeah "disagree with". :rolleyes:

    "I hate mint chocolate chip ice cream" I don't give a fuck.

    "Equal representation of typically oppressed groups on TV is a feminist socialist conspiracy" go fuck yourself.
    Go fuck yourself to death.

    And when one of you knuckleheads acts like you're too tough to be hurt by words, then cry over "CHUD" like it's a genuine slur word, also go fuck yourself to death.
    Goddamned right I'm gonna :poke: with that, you blubbering snowflake-y babies.

    You were a shitty asshole to me last year when I accidentally misgendered you. One minute I'm disagreeing with one of your dumber claims, the next you're crying "Doc hates women!" It was an especially confusing afternoon.

    And now you're trying to play the victim because someone you don't like is referencing that same information with which you've been so open? Fuck that.

    Hypocrisy is always my business. :async:
