It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
Iโve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?

Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept
I was 100% in agreement with all of them until the last one.

Thongs aren't uncomfortable
I'm a fat, unsexy dude, I bought a goofy leopard-print thong to get a laugh out of my ~~life~~ wife once
It's not my favorite pair of undies by a longshot, I still prefer my usual boxer-briefs, but it's certainly not uncomfortable. Even wore it to my city's naked bike ride to bike around in.
Yeah sure dude, you totally did it cuz it was funny.
Same here. There not my favourite but there not as bad as people make them out to be. I mostly wear them as men like them. I did a music video a few years back as a backup dancer and I woar one underneath some sweatpants. Maybe it's because I have histrionic personality disorder but I like to look sexy. Not like a hooker or a stripper but more in a seductive way like a belly dancer or a show girl.
Small typo in my comment, was supposed to say get a laugh out of my wife
It served its intended purpose. It was for Valentines or our anniversary or something, so I was waiting in the bed for her to come home in my leopard thong, rose petals scattered around, and some funky 70s porno music playing, and she cracked the fuck up.
That's oddly sweet.

The feet ones or the butt ones?
Butt ones as this isn't Australia, lol. It wasn't until I was older myself I realized that thong had a different meaning around the world. I remember as a kid taking trips to Australia people used to always call things "thongs" and thought anything of it. As a New Zealander they'll always be Jandals to me.
As long as the pouch on the front isn't too constricting for my male bits and there isn't too much material and stitching in the seam underneath, I agree. Just like anything, gotta find the right fit.

spelling "catsup" as "ketchup" is as juvenile as spelling "night light" as "nite lite"

using a slur "because it's not a bad word in my culture" still isn't okay
I didn't even know that "catsup" was an option until now. Where I'm from, we call it "tomato sauce" and "ketchup" is the American word as far as I've ever known.
What I consider ketchup/catsup includes much more sugar and vinegar than what I consider tomato sauce. Is that not the case where you are from or is there a different word used?
I think that is kinda true. Like, American brands that sell here are branded as "Heinz Ketchup" for example. And it's definitely more processed or whatever. But I feel like most people would still say "pass the tomato sauce", or if they say ketchup it's in a joking way. I couldn't speak for my whole country though.
I suppose the context of condiment vs. ingredient is enough. I don't think many recipes use ketchup/catsup and most meals don't leave tomato sauce out to be used as a condiment.

The one with eyes
From a recent argument on here.
If you back-in to park in a typical parking lot, instead of just pulling in, I fucking hate you. I don't give a shit what your dumbass excuses are. It's NEVER faster or safer. There's no epidemic of backing over people. You could back in over someone same as bavking out over someone. But that basically never happens anyways. But there's certainly shitloads of morons who clearly can't handle their vehicles or geometry and inconvenience the hell out of others as we sit and wait forever for your poor attempts to back-in and then straighten out two more times.
For everyone's insistence on doing this, they sure as hell fucking suck at it.
Now go buy a smaller car since you can't handle yours, learn to pull in and back out since it's simpler, and stop justifying the idiocy.
I totally agree, it's not changing the amount of backwards maneuvers you have to do, so what's the point? It's only slowing you and everyone else down on your way in, which is generally when people do not want to be slowed down. If the concern really is about backing into people, then maybe they can learn to be cautious, use/install rear cameras, and get a grip lmao.
Also, ditto on the smaller car thing, I wish hatchback sedans with a hitch were more common than SUVs, they're just better for everyday use/fuel mileage/maneuverability.
