Lefty Logic

I say Lefty Logic, but I'm actually only guessing she's a lefty. This conversation left me so confused, I could be wrong. Anyway, I like to share my pain, so here goes:

The story I'm reading:
Doctor: “It’s been twenty-five days. You’re probably pregnant.”

Me: “There are a couple of issues I take with your statement. It’s been twenty-three days; these little numbers tell me that. Since I started at eleven years old, my cycle has been twenty-five days. My girlfriend’s is twenty-eight days, and I have a friend who has a regular medically checked-out forty-day cycle. Second, I’m not able to get pregnant because I live with, sleep with, raise a cat with, and have sex with another uterus owner.”

I’m non-binary; we use trans-inclusive language.
I'm of the opinion that such trans inclusive language may well include trans folks, but it also EXcludes women folk. There's certainly no women I know, who would be happy to be reduced to an owner of a body part, when being referenced

So I chirped up
 

Of course, leaving such a comment is bound to provoke an answer, particularly when it's couched in an obviously disrespectful manner
Oh well, my bad...

 
Makes little sense to me, that. At first I thought she had replied to my comment in error and actually intended on commenting on the story. In essence, to expand on what I was getting at, and say a person with a uterus is a woman, even if she looses the uterus. Or something
 
It must have made sense to her, because she had the gaul to question my logic
 
 
Sometimes I just can't hold my tongue

Eh? Seriously, what?
So I didn't say that a woman born with a uterus who later doesn't have one, is not a woman. I didn't say a woman who can't have children isn't a woman. I did say (in my own way) that women shouldn't be reduced to their reproductive organs
 
She's clearly disagreeing with me here, but I'm finding it hard to figure out why. The bits that seem to make some sense, seem to agree with what I said originally. The bits that make no sense just shoot off on some wild tangent
 

Hopefully that should clarify things and put this issue to bed

Oh...


Yes I know! Which is why we shouldn't be refering to women as uterus owners


Ok, so now we've established we're both in agreement, that should clarify things and put this issue to bed

Oh...


I have a policy when talking with nonsensical lefties: When the conversation descends into madness (and it always does) just walk away. As you can see from this conversation, I don't stick to my policy and usually end up having to open my gob a few more times. I never learn, you can't play chess with a pigeon


This is usually the point where the leftie accuses you of running scared and declares victory

I was surprised to find, that didn't happen in this case. She never replied

Oh well...

Sacré Bleu!


The most ridiculous sounding language in the world, has it's own international day?




I hope they don't have a day for their food

Ohh la la!

Are you trying to insult me?

Or compliment me?

It's hard to tell with the left wing


I think conderpative is supposed to be Conservative
But his message, illiterate as it may be, is understandable enough to know that he considers anyone right of centre to be not worth taking seriously

Just for the record, I'm not a conderpative, he was right with Libertarian

That's where they all should be

 

With heartfelt apologies to Reg Smythe, Goldsmith & Garnett and Go Comics, for blatantly knicking their cominc strip, without even the courtesy to ask

Wassaaaabi!

I've just seen some wasabi paste on offer. 15p for 45g. Bargain. Trouble is, I've no idea what wasabi tastes like, never having eaten it before

So I did what any normal person would do, and I Googled, "What does Wasabi taste like"
This is what I got


What the actual F does that mean? How does something taste green?

I guess I'll just have to buy some and find out for myself...


They wonder why we hate them

I smoke cigars
I used to smoke small cigars during the week, and big massive ones at the weekend
I used to buy my cigars online from Holland or Germany
When various Governments stopped cross border sales, I had to start buying the little ones from Tesco (I can still get enough big ones in my suitcase to last a while)
The Tesco ones are far too expensive to smoke all the time, so I only buy a few. These days I mostly vape in the week. It's not as good as a cigar, but with the right flavoured liquid, it's certainly not bad

We had a budget last night. I didn't bother watching it, just waited to hear about it on the web
According to Chris Snowdon, the Government are now going to tax e-liquid. The one I use will be taxed at £2 per 10ml bottle

This is to prevent the kiddies from taking up vaping

I just bought ten bottles of my regular stuff on Ebay. You get a discount for buying ten, so the whole thing, including postage, came in at £8.90. That 89p per 10ml bottle

When this new tax comes in (Not until after the election, but Labour aren't going to scrap it) it will be £2.89 per bottle. That's an extra twenty quid I have to give to the Government, to stop the kiddies taking up vaping

The only peeople who should be stopping the kiddies taking up vaping, are their parents, and at a push, the police if they buy the stuff illegally

I don't see why we should have to give all that money to the Government. And what are they going to do with it? Build a statue for war muslims

Jeez!
