Yeah, but responding with a snarky retort, depending on the teacher, can be much better than blindly answering.

Well I responded with "we don't use the English system in science" followed by "a lot". That's snarky enough for someone as shy as myself.

Now we know why Stormtroopers have such bad aim. Their blasters weren't calibrated for Imperial. :P

All the retail stuff... reminds me why I love my current line of work and general freelancing. I get to choose which people annoy me from time to time. People apparently have an average character stat of less than 3 Perception; even with 20/20 vision, I would call them 'legally blind'.

And for more stupidity; catching up on some tech news, I came across this mass of stupidity: EMI seriously thinks they don't have enough money, do they?. Then again, I can also see another reason why aliens would want to nuke us from orbit; or the real reason the Anti-Spiral would want to kill us from alternate dimensions and timelines.

Seemingly dumb response on my end here, but I can't wait until money is virtually worthless. The concept behind it needs it's reset button hit big time.

paraphrased:

Quote
I'm a girl, in a lesbian relationship,
I cut off my penis, so I'm a girl now,
and even though my girlfriend has a penis, I still love her.


then I tried to point out that he was really still a guy, and his girlfriend was also male, making it a gay relationship between to adult men, not a lesbian relationship between two women.

which led to him screaming about there being a difference between sex and gender, and blah blah blah.

I AM that mean, though. This is just offensive, AND stupid.

It's pretty stupid, but I don't see how anyone could be offended by it.

Both of them could be transsexual male-to-female (one post op and one pre op), which would make their relationship a lesbian one.

Sexuality is always weird with trans individuals, as some go by their physical sex and some go by their gender. Truean calls herself gay occasionally, despite being attracted to men and being a MtF transsexual.

It's to the point where I always ask if the topic comes up. And of course, I always go by what they call themselves.


EDIT: Re: potential offensiveness.

It could be considered offensive because you said they were men, when they identified as women. That's a huge no-no for transsexuals.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

It's stupid in that you took the troll bait and ran with it.
That has the aura of being fake all around it. In particular, if one were to cut their penis off, there's a rather large chance that they would either bled to death, or die of an infection. And I don't think there's any medical facility that would facilitate served no practical purpose.
And that the person would pay for that operation, despite believing in a difference between gender and sex. That's some high-grade contradiction right there. "What you are does not change who you are, but I will pay unreasonable amounts of money/put my life at risk in order to make a slight physical change to myself." It just... sounds fake.
