Anyway, we live in an embarrassing country which not only refuses to meet the medical needs of its citizens, but in some cases actively impedes their progress and even singles them out as enemy combatants. Not a real country!

P.S. I am not a crackpot.

Except for that one person everybody on The Right wants to talk to, you know that one single person who had regrets, that one person out of hundreds of thousands [pushes literally every other trans person out of the way] Sir! Sir?! PLEASE TALK TO ME I WANT YOU TO BE THE FACE OF SOMETHING

Also? Just every kind of trans surgery has lower regret rates than basically every other kind of surgery.

Trans surgeries have a lower regret rate than hip replacements. Basically no one has trans surgeries and then regrets it.

Patient: I want you to put a bunch of scaffolding under my skin to hold my face up, and also inject my eyeballs with Elmer's glue so they look whiter.

Doctor: You got money? Ok.

The Government: The fuck you looking at us for? We don't care about this AT ALL.

The whole "we just want to do our due diligence as responsible members of the medical community" line falls apart the minute you see a person with so much plastic surgery it looks like they're smuggling a couch under their face.

Why don't we treat people who need eye surgery like we treat trans people?

Like, "Ok ma'am, before we perform this IRREVERSIBLE surgery, you'll need to attend therapy and LIVE as a person with 20/20 vision for 5 years before you even TALK to an opthamologist."

lol just kidding

I know why

I GUESS they did a similar thing at the end of S1, but I feel like S4 leaned on it in a way that made the implication much more overt.

Paul Southworth ☢️ 🐟 @southworth.bsky.social · 15h

mmmmmmmmm yeah ok they explained most of it but they did that thing where they left a liiiiiiiiittle hanging chad of "but WAS it a supernatural thing??? Who knows!" which I do not care for. Rest of it was good, but not as good as S1.

Also there should be a variant that just shows 8hr blocks of programming, shows & commercials, from specific time periods.

Might have to troll yard sale VHS bins for this.

Actual Million Dollar Idea: The Commercial Channel. A channel that just shows old commercials, and there are different sub-channels for every decade.

There are also actual commercials, but you can pay extra to skip those and get back to the commercials.

That's a Tim Robinson, toe to tip (complimentary)

I lost the video but I saw somebody on TikTok say "I miss when STAR TREK felt like something you'd watch on PBS" and I've never felt so seen.

maybe it's just a big fake out and there's a perfectly reasonable explanation at the end but that seems unlikely!
