  • I believe also that the predominating thought in this war among the generals that plan it is that a shake up to the current status quo was needed. Invading Russia gives Ukraine a bit of leverage, plus it draws away RU troops from the front line so that Ukraine may be able to retake a bit of ground.

    Grand Poobah Pooty Putin can only say so many times that he’s moving nukes to ready status or whatever until it becomes clear he’s not going to use them. Nuking anybody, especially Ukraine, would be a tacit admission to the world that he’s losing this war. If he did, NATO would likely get involved presumably because they would consider the fallout drifting over Europe to be an act of war, but a casus belli is a casus belli.

    So yeah, I can see NATO countries being ok with a strike inside of Russia now. Makes total sense to me. I’m just surprised it took this long to get there.






  • Yeah, he’s doing it for a very stupid reason, which is why I’m concerned. I’m glad you read the whole article. This seems like it has potential to be very cruel, intentionally or not.

    Crossdressing is a whole thing that’s of course totally fine. Consider the guys from Monty Python. They cross dressed all the time but weren’t specifically doing it out of malice or the intent to be denigrating to women. There’s a way to crossdress and still be funny without being a dick.

    Also, Steve-O may be progressive to some extent, I really don’t know his politics. That’s not really what I’m concerned about. It’s more that his antics may give conservative or small minded idiots cause to associate all transitioning individuals with him. They’d lead another chorus of “all trans people are pervs who watch you in public bathroom” because he does something like popping out of a public bathroom stall covered in fudge and begging strangers for TP.


  • I’m all for harmless pranks, and Jackass is a funny show. I’m also 100% supportive of people who want to change their bodies or how they identify from a gender perspective. Steve-O apparently cleaned himself up and he’s living sober now which is awesome. That being said, this whole breast augmentation surgery thing is just weird.

    There are a lot of individuals who would love to get the surgery he’s getting for shits and giggles, but the cost of it is too prohibitive or they can’t find a doctor to do it for them for whatever reason. I hope this stunt doesn’t further stigmatize people who are transitioning or cause it to be more difficult for them to receive care.

    I guess I also don’t see how having massive fake tits surgically implanted on a cisgender man is more funny than having a more realistic pair of latex breasts made and put on through makeup. Maybe I’m just getting old.
