OKAY NOW DO ZORK
So, I think the whole Whataburger VS In-N-Out thing is actually not a Whataburger/In-N-Out thing, but that hamburgers are "regional" or "typed" like pizza.
Whataburger is apparently a version of the "Texas-Style Burger" which is heavy on mustard. McDonald's had a "Texas Homestyle Burger" and Burger King has the "Texas Double Whopper" both of which are mustard heavy.
In-N-Out is part of a burger "Family" that I call "Thousand Islands Dressing" burgers. The Big Mac is one of these, and most any "secret sauce" burger is here.
It's a lot like Chicago Pizza versus New York Pizza versus Spokane Style Pizza.
I think there's a "family" of "coleslaw topping" burgers. What other "families" of burger are out there, and why is the Texas-Style Burger the best?
@drewharwell It's already been mentioned down thread, but +1 to the idea of having WaPo run their own instance. Bump the char limit of posts up to what you need, to post your news, and off to the races.
You get verification, a wider audience, and pull more influence from the other platform. Win!
Audience vs effort will always be a chicken and egg problem. Please just pay IT to hire a full time head count to set up and manage an instance for you.
Thanks.
Trans people deserve to be:
- Seen
- Respected
- Loved
- Housed
- Employed
- Protected (by the law and other people)
Trans people don’t deserve to be:
- Mocked
- Ridiculed
- Harassed
- Assaulted
- Killed
- Ignored by liberals and progressives
- Attacked by conservatives
Trans people are:
- Really fucking tired
- Please send pizza

While its attempt to implement a bill that would require employers use DNA to gender staff failed, the state of North Dakota is now trying to implement a new trans ban in schools.
It includes verbiage to tackle the now-infamous "litterboxes in schools" myth that was confirmed to be a hoax.
Trans people exist across all of time, across societies, languages, cultures - We always were and always will be.
The only thing that suppressing knowledge does is condemn more people to lives spent in the dark, wondering why they feel broken and lost.
THIS is why we have to fight to be heard.
They call us groomers. I say we are bloomers. You can't *make* a person LGBT - Either they are or they aren't. The only options are to either support or suppress.
Choose wisely.

New West Virginia bill, SB 252 would define "obscene matter" as exposure to transgender people. It would make it a felony to share any content regarding transgender people with a minor. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

Having a bit of an existential dilemma, on top of severe gender dysphoria, some self worth issues involving the layoff, some hopelessness from remembering my years unemployed during the original Dot Com bust and how it's happening again, a touch of lonliness from living alone for so long, cabin fever because I haven't gone out in a while and because of a Covid exposure keeping me homebound for now, and...
To put it bluntly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzoN-CvH0qU
Still stunned by the liberal who told me today that anti-trans legislation should just be sorted out in the courts. Yeah, okay, what do we do in the meantime? Y'all clearly do not understand how life-and-death this is. #trans #transphobia
