Above 72 fahrenheit (22 centigrade) I find sleeping quite difficult.

More than 3 degrees above that temperature, I need air conditioning to
sleep.

If you can find a host for me that has a friendly parrot, I will be
very very glad. If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot I
can visit with, that will be nice too.

...

DON'T buy a parrot figuring that it will be a fun surprise for me. To
acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely to outlive you. If
you don't know how to treat the parrot, it could be emotionally
scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy.

...

But if you want to cook for me, or invite me to a restaurant that
specializes in just one thing, or invite me to dinner with a preset
menu, you need to know what I dislike:

avocado
eggplant, usually (there are occasional exceptions)
hot pepper
olives
liver (even in trace quantities)
stomach and intestine; other organ meats
cooked tuna
oysters
egg yolk, if the taste is noticeable, except when boiled completely hard
many strong cheeses, especially those with green fungus
desserts that contain fruit or liqueur flavors
sour fruits, such as grapefruit and many oranges
beer
coffee (though weak coffee flavor can be good in desserts)
the taste of alcohol (so I don't drink anything stronger than wine)

Don't ever try to decide what food I should eat without asking me.

...

A good approach is to ask around *in advance* among your acquaintances
to find people who like good food and are familiar with the area's
restaurants. They will be able to give good recommendations.
Sorry for the wall of text.

This made me cringe harder than most stuff in this thread. I mean, cosplay? MRA? Bronies? I only encounter that poo poo by people making fun of them on the internet.

But this picture? It's just so real. I'm a meteorologist; we are awkward nerd city. We joke about how the engineers are "the cool guys." I know several of each of these types. The awkward posture, weird head angles, bad poses... like I can imagine their conversations, and nothing about it could ever be described as "cool."

Your hesitancy to even refer to her as a person in your post is awkward and ugly on a scale that compares with the hosed up trans phobic comments made by the original comedian at the event in case your self awareness is on par with your level of humanity.

I know it's been pointed out, but you're being the ugly and awkward (the pony get up is awful, but that's beside the point). Save it for something sensitive.

Oh man, far be it for me to poke fun at the whole fiasco (which I'd hoped to be quite obvious!) by using the same kind of generic, confused terminology that the now vilified comedian used in his presentation!

However this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the person pictured purports to be a serious journalist and yet their public image is that of a half-human/half-horse with rainbow hair and goggles.

If you were making fun of her for being brony (or "Pegasister" or whatever) I don't think any of us would have objected. But instead you're making it about her gender for some strange reason. Also why do you keep calling her 'this person' when you know she identifies as a woman? That's why people are mocking you instead of her.

The problem is is your not poking fun at the fiasco you're poking fun at the pain this person felt after being referred to in the most the derogatory and nasty of ways as well as the fact that they were publicly outed and humiliated for being a trans person. You might think its funny but being publicly outed often has deadly results for these people. You may not be actual human garbage, but all of your humor and posting would lead all of us to believe otherwise.
