I'm wondering why heavy bass lovers believe that every person & animal loves to feel their bass just as much as they do :scratch: Talk about arrogance

1967 is my favourite year!! ! And in my username :mrgreen:

I'm thinking about how I wish I was cis.

Cis masc guys seem to be the only ones with freedom to go about town centres at night unconcerned. Of course this is only for part of their life but when they're my age, they get to do that.

Of course maybe I'm overegging (pun unintended...) it and if I woke up post-lockdown and was cis like how the girl in Freaky Friday is her mother or the child in Big is an adult... the fact that I was still autistic would lead to me being beaten up, not raped but beaten up is still nasty.

So few people ruining things for so many people through rape, violence and intimidation.

What movie to watch tonight instead of a rerun of the interview Oprah Winfrey did with Prince Harry and Megan Markle.

:roll:

Not trans.

Like 'NT' it's better saying that than 'normal'.

It doesn't stand for anything, it's etymology is 'on the side of' so 'your gender is on the side of your sex'.

Basically if I was a 6 foot guy with muscles, I would feel safe walking/strutting through town after dark.

That might be a false sense of confidence though? I'd be interested in cis autistic guys' experiences with this. Because I think the criminal element are looking for someone to attack, whether that's sexually like with women or that's picking fights with guys who stand out somehow, as autistic people are prone to do.

Either way we need to make it so the town centre is safe for every adult at night. Someone's sex/gender/presentation/not being NT/disability/ethnicity/age etc shouldn't make them feel as if town doesn't 'belong to them' and they're unsafe - it's the public sphere!

I'm going through my GIANT PILE of backlogged political emails, deleting things mostly & I got a bunch of emails about a month ago about Biden possibly pardoning Trump. I want to know what the hell they were all smoking to think that there was any possibility at all that Biden would actually consider pardoning Trump :scratch: I've gotten a ton of various political emails over the last 10 years & campaigning Biden to not pardon Trump has to be the most pointless one. I wish I knew where they got their pot :mrgreen:

Maybe in theory?

In practice whenever I have been on a night out (including things which don't count as 'night out' to most NT cis-male imaginations: going to the cinema, going to book clubs in town, going to poetry readings in town, going to the theatre), the closest thing I have seen to a police officer is a bouncer.

Bouncers only care if people misbehave in their own clubs.

We use my stepdad as an escort and thank god he still looks young when he puts his hood up and he's over 6 foot and still muscular!

I think increased police presence would help - assuming they're not like the police officer who committed the recent murder or the police officers that BLM are complaining about but actual good apples within the force.

Boycotting the dump for at least a week.

If I feel s**t about the Glasgow derby, I will extend my boycott.

Well I guess now we know what happens when police are about :cry:

Of course they had to move the women on. But there's ways of doing that without violence.

Ironically they always want to make out like trans women or black guys are a threat to cis white women. Turns out they're the real threat.

It's weird, when I was younger I dealt with a lot of physical bullying over issues like how I dress. I'm 6' tall and weighed about 160bs then so I wasn't exactly small. If I went out in a 'normal' mindset there was a good chance I would end up dealing with some sort of confrontation but if I was 'cycling' and wound-up/manic and looking for a confrontation suddenly those same people would duck me. I believe my body language changed enough to broadcast that I wasn't just out for a walk.

Angry young men who feel powerless might engage in crimes (violence or harassment) but they'll seek out different targets than the people who are mostly out to steal stuff with violence just being a means to an end. The former are the main issue where I live and might not be discouraged just because you're a bigger guy. Jeez, some of them might not even care about winning, they just want to fight.

The latter needs to weigh the risk of every confrontation because they know they'll have to have several of them that night to make the time and risk worthwhile, that means they're unlikely to initiate any confrontation they don't think they'll win so being bigger almost certainly makes one less likely to be targeted.

Being bigger is a deterrent but so is how you carry yourself. If you march through public spaces like you've got a goal in mind and nothing will interfere with that goal it's amazing how the people around you respond. Presenting as though you're comfortable with confrontation seems to make a lot of people decide they don't want to start one in case you're more able to finish it.

Am thinking equality for all.... especially when dealing with any governmental representatives and equal protections.
Is what the framers of the constitution had in mind , when the country came into being .

Weird online sites buried under the goggle search.

Differently weird site addresses but definitely is in English medium as if it's a forum board of sorts -- so no, it's not merely just another foreign site.

All of its summaries were creepy so far. Some are more disturbing.

Likely belonged to some underground net where unsavory forces hang out than the usual part of the net.
But not unsavory enough to be actually in there.
