Right. Funny. Cuz everyone has the same definition of funny, and nobody finds any degree of transphobia funny on the internet. Therefore the only correct interpretation of memes are those that don't include transphobia. Fuck me.

I don't think the distinction between poster and meme creator is particularly meaningful here. I also think that OP may have meant well. What exactly this meme is making fun of isn't as clear as you make it out to be. It seems like a somewhat lazy setup(which is fine, not hating on shitposting) for the punchline more than something directed at sex tourists, to me anyway. The downvotes that lileath got were probably unwarranted, because there is a discussion to be had about the transphobia in this meme. Edit. Especially because the punchline is literally transphobia, whether intended by OP/ meme creator or not.

It's a charitable interpretation of OP's intended meaning. I'm not disagreeing that there are nonbinary trans Thai people. Do you really think this meme is a joke about the subtleties of Thai sex worker's identities? This is clearly about finding out if a sex worker is trans by asking if they are actually a boy.

Also, OP initially defends the post by saying they find trans sex workers sexy as hell. For real?

That's a very charitable interpretation.

I don't think it needs to be mean spirited to be transphobic. The implication seems to be that he is tying to determine whether a sex worker is trans by asking if they are a boy. There's probably a better way to word that question, but then it wouldn't fit the meme.

 

Last week I got myself a tape measure, figured out some sizing things and ordered a cheap dress online. It looked good, and for the first time in my life I felt beautiful. I felt like I could actually pull of a transition and not look like an ugly man in a dress. I giggled and cried and it felt so good. The next day I went to the mall, got my ears pierced, bought all the girly things I was brave enough to in person. Then I paced around mac like a weirdo until I worked up the courage to go in and ask for help picking makeup. They were great and super helpful getting me some basics. When I went home, I put my dress on, and thought I'd take it slow and just put on some lipstick and paint my nails. When I saw myself, I felt like an ugly old man in lipstick, and it fucking ruined all the euphoria from before. I know I can get past that, do my makeup better and find something more comfortable, but I wanted to hang on to that feeling forever. I saw the woman I know I am inside for a moment and wanted the rest to just happen. It's not gonna be that easy though, is it?

I had to get a hue remote to properly reset my bulbs.

I had a roommate who could decently understand japanese this way. We had him look away and translate for us a few times and he was spot on. I'm sure if he put effort into speaking it he could have learned to do that as well.

I've been using easynews/nzbgeek/nzbget with an arr stack on debian and it's worked well for me. I'm fairly new to usenet, so take this with a giant grain of salt.

This looks really cool! How resource intensive is this? What sort of storage requirements are there for this to be a reasonably reliable method of acquiring media? I'm probably just gonna find out myself. I've recently fully switched over to usenet, but this could make torrents pretty compelling again.

Last couple south park game were pretty good. Decent enough games, but enough south park humour to make them enjoyable for fans. Can't speak to the n64 game though.

There was a bug in the nvidia driver for a whole year that broke audio over display port for me and a bunch of other people. Had to use legacy drivers cuz fuck me I guess. It was a known issue basically the entire time.
