You are not capable of being obedient enough to feel at home in the military.

There are 2 possible outcomes:
1. You keep your head down and learn to hate yourself.
2. You keep getting in trouble with your thinking, and having opinions. Eventually leading to you getting locked up.

Must exploit some brain hardwiring because I felt a tad ill looking at it.
Correct, it messes with your hypersensitive facial recognition skills. Humans are very good at that.

See, the thing about a really, really good troll is that it's not that hard. You just start talking about something that you kind of understand aspects of, a little, and state your partially-understood concepts as if they are incontrovertible facts. You gotta state that shit as if you are some kind of reknowned expert. Then, you wait for someone to correct you, and you double the fuck down. More people will join the fray, it's human nature. Make sure to only partially address anyone's points, and do so in a wall of text that manages to be both condescendingly-toned and also, somehow, just utterly clueless as fuck. It's ideal if you can, in the process, imply or outright accuse others of doing exactly what you're doing, AND, AND AND AND, also imply that they are either stupid.

What's the difference between an idiot and a troll? The troll knows he's wrong.

If you master this troll, you can take it to a higher level by actually being right, but sounding like you're wrong.Then, as the shrillness of the debate escalates, you can slowly nudge your argument toward utter placid reasonableness until your opponent doesn't just look mistaken to an outside observer, but outright insane.
Dude, you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're taking about here, do you? It's like I just walked into the Land that Understanding Forgot.

Rev Thwack,
That was a good effort but not wall of texty enough.
Is your reading comprehension failing you? Kids these days, education isn't what is used to be. It must be the texting everyone is doing all the time.
Also, Nigel intentionally left a hook for you to use but you completely failed to catch it. (It's spelled renowned, people. Look it up!)

Now, this may be a double reverse troll but that would require more insight in he community to pull off.

I've often considered going through years of therapy, expensive hormone and surgical treatment and facing the possible ostracism of everyone close to me, not to mention having an entire nation freak out over becoming a woman, simply for the sake of publicity.

I'd get mad media coverage, for sure.

I like the part where he calls me government brainwashed sheeple, unaware that I'm married to a dude on every watch list and have actively supported at least four people the government wants locked up for calling out their bullshit.
His lack of interpunction offends me.
People who can't form sentences can't be expected to form thoughts.
Thoughts, like sentences, have a beginning, middle, and end.

It took every ounce of control not to correct him as we went, but it was my cousin's post and I was trying to be nice.
I feel for you, and am impressed with your restraint.
Also, my own misuse of comma's offends me.

I may be offended too easily.

It just so happens the government uses AES a lot, so I would use that with [as random as you can make them] salts and seeds, as well as making sure the key is as random as you can make it, while also making it long enough for a hash cracker to be useless. As far as I know, if you can get ahold of a hash of a small enough key, you can just bruteforce the hash and get the key easily. But, because the size of any hash is cut off, only part of the key could even be recovered if you got ahold of a hash for a very long key. Or, it would be a useless chain of characters, depending on whether length had anything to do with the hash encryption algorithm. I forget exactly how that works.

I'm not sure what you're trying to communicate here. You seem to be conflating hashing and encryption and misunderstanding both.

Probably. Hence, why I prefaced it with "I forget exactly how it works." Sorry about the laziness. I'll get back to this when I have time.

I think you meant to preface it with "I have no real idea what I'm talking about".
Nigel, I love it when you are Nigeling someone who is not me.

Speaking of greek, I still am amazed that in greek rivers are called Potamus.
I love that megalopotamus means big river and cryopotamus means cold river. Greek is just amazing, anyone with a half-decent education can understand 50% of it.
It sounds so potable.

If I bump this, the fat fuck thread, and original fat bastard thread, does anyone want to merge them? It makes sense to just  have one thread.
Oh thank fuck, it is a merged thread. I thought i was tripping.

HAHAHAHA EVERYBODY'S LIVED EXPERIENCE IS UNDERSTOOD AND DEFINED VIA CONCEPTS AND WORDS AND SOUNDS THEY MAKE WITH THEIR FACES THAT DON'T, REMOVED FROM THEIR SOCIAL CONTEXT, ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING.

IT'S ALL JUST WORDS, YOU DELUDED FOOLS. HAHAHAHA.
Hey, sometimes the only way out of a hole is to keep digging until you hit sillyness. The sillyness explodes and launches you back to the surface.
Commonly known as appeal to absurdity when done to another, I'm not sure what it is called when I do it to myself.

As before I still think it's a bunch of BS. That said, I nonetheless believe that these folks should be allowed to live their lives the way they want to free of bullying  institutionalized harassment. It's everyone's right to pull the wool  over their own eyes and relax in their own delusions. It's ok, but it just doesn't make them stop being delusions is all I'm saying
You are almost there.
They may be using silly concepts to define themselves with, but so are you.
All humans identify with stupid shit, it is just how people work. We are lean, mean, self-identifying machines.

Hell, I know quite a lot of people who identify as sportsfans! And not just sports in general, but they pick one very specific set of sports(in this case ballgames), then within that set they pick one particular sport (soccer), and within that sport they pick one particular league, and within that league they pick one particular team! They somehow manage to sum up all this nonsense in a two word description of themselves. Oh also, they use this as an excuse to fight people who choose the same set of sports, the same sport, the same league, but a different team! Because those people are badwrong and need to be beat-up.

Compared to that clusterfuck: Identifying yourself based on either gender, sex, or a specific combination of the two doesn't seem that strange. It's downright sensible really, when seen in the right context.

P.S. I have heard rumors that some people even choose a particular player within a team to identify with, but I have a hard time believing that.

Spices behave WEIRD in alcohol - you get more of the basic flavor pulled out, and so cinamon can easily overpower a lot.  It's like drinking the cinamon challenge.

The recipe I posted may be pretty involved, but it does blance the flavors decently, and adds the sweet so you don't regret it AS much. 

Good luck, keep experimenting, and please tell us what you find!
I didn't have enough vodka to dilute it drinkable levels.
I now have several jars of concentrated flavor just sitting around.
I need to get more vodka.
Also, I'm considering lemons to add another concentrate to my arsenal.

One other thing:  Dial up BBSs had a small following.  Then the internet happened, and people became more and more drawn into social interaction accordingly.

So a possibility is that people are just getting sick of being so social.
I know I am.

Oh who am I kidding, that slash is a lie. I never stop being a grumpy hermit.

It occurs to me to put it like this: Caitlyn Jenner can not be a woman in a man's body, because she is a woman and therefore her body must be a woman's body--medically altered or otherwise.

Yes.
I just realized that this Caitlyn is a MtF trans, that completely changes the meaning of that sentence.
I guess this is a famous person I would know about if I followed the news?

Apparently, I was being judgmental, mean, and insulting by stating my own sexual boundaries.

There you go, being Nigel again all over everything.
Not exactly.
Being Nigel is being perceived as judgemental, mean, and insulting without necessarily being on the same continent.
