    Apparently it went from Texas being Texas, to Jenee and Uncle Albert doing their usual routine, to penis tattoos.

    And now I've lost 10 IQ points just writing that.

    Not everyone retreats into a victimhood mentality in the face of a little adversity, sweetheart.

    Coercion. I care the moment someone starts giving themselves excuses to impose their will in others. I don't care about you doing your own thing until you start insisting it obligates me in any way.

    Right. I forgot you had a monopoly on it, and everyone reacts to conditions in exactly the same way.

    Putz. :dayton:

    never said I did...
    then again, I'm not the idiot coming up with bullshit like

    the delusion that people have the choices you've been given is ridiculous. whatever allows you your self image-even if it is playing on sandbox mode- I suppose.

    You don't know what fucking choices I've had, dickhead. You just arrogantly presume to know the correct demeanor for every kind of life experience. You're the kind of person who equips someone with the "victimhood" excuse for their bad choices. :jayzus:

    Nice selective quoting. So if a guy you know says "I want to be called Steve from now on," you'll throw the same tantrums about "obligations" that you do for trans people? Or will you just call him Steve like a well-adjusted person would do?

    Well, we know you're not a big business titan.
    Which is fine; except every conservative douche-nozzle pseudo-philosopher you get your bullshit from would hock a loogie in your face, and kick you out of the treehouse for that.

    Depends on how well I know him, how much he annoys me, and whether he's ASKING or DEMANDING.

    You'll just go "nuh uh!" to literally everyone I pick.
    I've been on the "I created myself" merry-go-round.
    Cutting to the chase: you didn't.

    So my options are either I listen to your pet villains, or I invented myself.

    I mean, there's the buffet theory where you took from a bunch of influences, and made a special magical stew.
    But, it's funny how your magical stew has the exact same flavor as one ingredient
    I dunno, maybe Rand is like Texas Pete sauce, and kills all the other flavors.
    Anyway, it's implausible enough for me to safely dismiss it out of hand.

    Your "exact same" conclusion is unsupported. You just look for a few key words and fill in the gaps with your own wishful thinking.

    In reality, I agree with a few commentators on a few things, but agree with nobody on all things. This is possible when you're not dishonestly forcing people through your "all or nothing" filter. Most people grow out of that stupidity, but with you we'll just add it to the list.

    I gotta comb every letter in every post you ever wrote?
    You don't need that to dismiss Amaris's trans identity.
    Oh, right, The Council Of Galactic Peace And Stability gave you special discernment powers.
    No? You're just some guy? Okay then!

    There goes those discernment powers again.
    Oh, wait, we just established you don't have those.

    No, it's not key words, it's your whole entire spiel.
    The only detail you're missing, is you don't want to build skyscrapers.
    But guess what?
    None of Rand's fans are winners.
    Oh, some winners pay lip service, but they break her rules like a motherfucker.

    You really believe that, and I couldn't give a shit.

    No, this is just you being in love with yourself again.
    Someone would have to be an Adam West Batman villain to disagree with you, because you're THE MAIN CHARACTER.
