I would assert that it is, personally, but I would also assert that the entire show revolves around Jax and her issues, and would barely have a plot at all if you stripped her out of it.
Which doesn't seem to be the majority opinion, something I've found kind of incomprensible.
In fairness to cursive, some kind of cursive was the standard form of handwriting for basically all English writings up until probably the 2000s - it is legitimately very useful for anyone who might have to dig through old documentation or letters. And handwriting is an important skill to build, cognitively speaking, it has lots of second order benefits.
Definitely a less important skill than ability to actually understand computers, these days, but it does have its uses and if everybody forgot how to do it a lot of old stuff would suddenly require specialists to decipher - we're basically halfway there already, people of my generation often have to kick cursive up to older people because we were never taught it.
I know this is probably a joke, but just in case it's not, there's a ton of old fishkeeping forums that are still accurate and more often than not have a better ratio of good info to chaff.
As one of the people you alienated, you are forgiven. I've done the doubting others experiences shit before as well, it can get too easy to feel as though one has to dig one's heels into one's chosen ground.
I myself at that time was already decently too dug into my broader position/feelings on that subject. I am significantly more chilled out about masculinity now, as an example.
And do remember, it wasn't just you doing the alienation. Speaking from my personal perspective there were several users at that time who contributed as well, and I ended up writing off the trans community on this site as a whole as 'Not a space that would accept me'.
It's funny, honestly. I've actually only gotten more non-binary since then in an objective sense even if I very much shy away from calling myself that for a lot of reasons. Sometimes I'm not sure if that thread helped with that change or hurt it - same thing with the chilling out on masculinity.
What that does make it for sure is narratively significant, so, no regrets or hard feelings on my part, alright? It was a worthwhile conversation, if unpleasant at the time.
Welcome back.
Are you capable of understanding that not all psychiatric medications are the same, not all psychiatric conditions are the same, and that not everyone has the same reaction you did to them?
If I didn't have my meds - which it was INCREDIBLY difficult to get because of medical gatekeeping in part paused by 'deprescription' sentiment - more likely than not I would kill myself, and even if I didn't I wouldn't be capable of living even a half life because I'm so mentally ill I need stimulants to fucking shower on a semi regular basis.
The only thing propagating this rhetoric right now does is hurt the people who need psychiatric medications the most. It's great for you that you can function without them.
Not everyone is you.
Basically, though Owl remembered it backwards - Northeners from colder climates (Germanic tribes, Nords, Scots, etc) are in order to compensate for that more hot in body and thereby more passionate and quick to anger, with somewhat overheated brains but very strong bodies - great warriors and laborers, but poor in intellectual pursuits on average.
It was the opposite for people from Warmer climates, their bodies were 'colder' and their brains worked much better but their bodies were weak - great intellectuals and artists, poor warriors and laborers.
The Romans and Greeks, of course, being in the middle of these two poles had the best of both worlds. Or so the thinking went. It's also worth noting the Romans didn't see this as hereditary, exactly - it was thought that people moving to different temperature areas would cause them to have the same characteristics as the locals within just a few generations.
Woops! Thank you for the correction! I always end up adding that extra s, always been better with the Latin spelling than the Greek.
Yeah, very much so. Intercural sex was the Socially Acceptable way of bottoming, they still had a very strong taboo about sodomy proper.
For a citizen to be sodomized was seen as disgusting and highly looked down upon, though they were fine with doing such things to slaves.
Even the intercural, it should be noted, it was only socially acceptable to bottom if you were a young man, an Eromenos, which is... basically like if you put the concepts of Twink and Femboy inna blender and made them a sort of time-limited third gender (Typically the 16-25 range though we have examples of Eromenos being up to 29 sometimes) that one was supposed to grow out of as one aged and became a Man.
Greek homosexuality and the cultural norms around it are more complicated than most realize, as is usually the case with historical examples of pre-modern cultures that in some way were accepting of homosexuality.
The O9A as far as I'm aware has zero FBI connections originally, it was started by a genuine Nazi occultist British crank.
What you're thinking of is the Tempel Ov Blood (Yes that's how it's spelled) which is essentially the American denomination of the O9A who have their own modified version of the theology and all that shit.
The founder of that IS a known FBI informant, though I believe he became an informant after founding the TOB.
I unfortunately know a lot about these groups.
764 is technically a separate group that's really just in it for the pedophilia, little Epsteins, but in practice there is A LOT of overlap.
For the record, while I'm not actually aware of the racism though I find it believable, the transphobia isn't really hidden.

In the book he's excerpting from he goes into even further and more overt detail in the broader transphobic rant - his general opinion seems to be a rehash of the old 'homosexuality is bourgiese decadence' thing, but applied to being transgender instead.
It's really quite obvious and heinous in the book, there's even a moment where the conceptual connection is made clear and he went so far as to plausibly-deniably imply that being homosexual should still be considered a mental illness.
I am in no way implying that, fuck head, don't Ziojacket me.
Am I criticizing the slop posting of her Islamophobic rants right now, jackass? I specifically referenced the various posts about her old bad takes like THIS VERY POST we're commenting on.
This is in such unfathomable bad faith, I really hope this website actually cracks down on transmisogyny one day.
It's very much the former, though Gooseworx herself is sorta in the fuzzy 'Zenninial' zone between the youngest millennials and oldest Gen Z.
Zoomers were probably part of the intended audience, but from what I've gathered the massive popularity among Gen Alpha was a complete accident that kinda blindsided everyone working on the show. On a personal level Gooseworx actually seems to kinda fucking hate that things played out that way, actually, though I'm sure all the money she's gotten out of that happenstance is a cushy silver lining.
