I'll steelman her POV because it seems people are (rightly) confused.

Asexuals are requesting a day of recognition for what she sees as a negative-identity. Keep in mind, conservatives are often meritocratic.

It's like if there were a day for "coffee refrainers", for everyone who doesn't like drinking coffee. I'm sure if someone dunked on that day and the coffee refrainers, it'd all be in good spirits.

But if someone dunked on asexuality, I'm sure it'd cause a lot of upset and defensive argument, which implies more "merit" to asexuality.

While progressives can go "who cares, just leave em be", conservatives see all "non-deserved" attention as an affront to meritocracy, that needs to be squashed.

I (a vegan) got banned from there for finding the love of cows cloying. I said we shouldn't have to pretend cows are cute to convince others not to kill and eat them.

It really isn't a place for even back and forth amongst friends, "no conversation - only agreement"

You can say rape and abuse

Anybody (of any gender) that perfomatively does something solely out of spite is toddler core.

"My girlfriend told me she doesn't like mullets so I got a mullet lol"

"My dad says I'm not allowed a tattoo so now I want one even more!"

Toddler core.

In Maori, Maua means "we", or "both of us". It's also shorthand for "we share similar beliefs".

Could have gone that route.

Hats off for putting in the effort, thank you.

Eew keep your gross American opinions to yourself.

Wherever there's birds, it's irresponsible to let cats out. NZ in particular, it's a damn massacre out there.

There often more caffeine in a standard coffee than half a litre of monster energy drink.

I pre-ordered a pair of shoes online and the website asked for a tip.

When is CRISPR going to grant me immortality god damnit. Every year that drips past is one less with my immortality guarantee.

I want to be immortal even if it kills me.

I miss my smart watch waking me up outside of detected REM sleep.

On the Microsoft Band you could set a time window where the alarm would go off - say between 0700-0800. If you're in REM sleep at 0700, the alarm stays off until you naturally rouse, or 0800.

I've worked as a sleep scientist for 7 years, and the idea of not being woken out of REM is such a neat idea, and yet no other watch seems to do it.
