I think maybe because it's from his first photoshoot as an out trans woman. Going into a studio and getting professionally primped and preened for the first time by a makeup artist telling you how brave you are (because they know you're paying them to say that) might be a memory that gives Ollie
He has said loads about Contra non stop-
Still trying hard to turn himself into a meme and willingly pursuing work with the company bankrolling that notorious transphobe Dave Chappelle.
It's a bummer. A podcast about engineering disasters is a fabulous idea, and the episode about Groverhaus is honestly not bad if you can shift through the noise. It has all the elements of a good podcast, but unfortunately it also has Alice, constantly derailing the conversation with cringe and boring irrelevant asides.
Interesting choice of word there she uses to describe TERF arguments: elegant.
if you read the rest of her comments, she's probably continuing with the effort of it because deep down she's just a bit of a cunt- likes feeling better than people, and this is a sure fire way of doing it.
This doesn't really surprise me since its the podcast that Alice Avizandum is most well known for, which isn't much of an endorsement, but the other guy who does it (Donoteat) is considerably more bearable and has some insight into things like urban design from a leftist bent. Unfortunately he also willingly associates with the likes of hacks like Avizandum and Olly so maybe I'm going too easy on him.
I know there are people holding out hope for Joan in this thread to see the light, but I'm not too bothered. I feel like she is the type to latch onto whatever makes things easy for her, like the school bully's drivelling sidekick. She's certainly not stupid and can see the unsavoury side of trans activism for what it is, but that fact that that isn't enough to change her mind tells me there's more to this than just being genuinely convinced. As some others have remarked, there's some degree of ego investment in this for her, and ultimately, she clearly values the approval of these people. I'm not triggered by edgy jokes but kidding about fucking the queen coming from this group of freaks is nasty as hell. She joins in with something like that and it feels like she's just hanging around on the edge of the group wanting to be included by parroting their words back to them.
Generally speaking, yes. I would usually get a mark or 2 marks for each step of simplification of an answer, unless it's specified otherwise, the more succinct the better. You can give the technically correct answer but miss marks on a paper for not whittling it right down to the simplest form.
