Nimrod's an amusing example because the term that caught on was used ironically. Bugs Bunny was making fun of Elmer Fudd by comparing him to Nimrod because Nimrod was known to be a great hunter, but because most kids only knew the term from the cartoon, they just took it as a word for idiot due to not having the historical/biblical context and it stuck as that.

The only pop cultural use of the name that is actually accurate and non-ironic is Nimrod the Sentinel from the X-men series, the ultimate sentinel and ultimate mutant hunter.

On the negative side-effects of the cochlear implant, re the Discomfort mentioned, is that because over time since birth the brain learns to filter out irrelevant info so you aren't bombarded with pointless whitenoise but deaf people's brains were never exposed to it so don't know how to filter it?

That just reminds me of the Green Eggs and Ham series where they get attacked by a type of wild bird that attacks anything it thinks is beneath it so to evade them you need to act impressive to scare them off - the grumpy character fails at this and takes a different tactic, exclaiming "What gives you the right to judge us anyway? You haven't even advanced as a species yet!"

Something I'm curious about with recluses like Lovecraft - would the internet have made them better or worse? On the one hand he could have fallen into a pit like one of the many alt-right forums like Reddit and got worse, but on the other hand, if he went to twitter or something like that those sites make it impossible to be a recluse. Everything you say gets responded to, so he'd have many people calling him out on his weirder fears, and certainly there's a good chance he'd have doubled down and become a Twitter Main Character, but there is also a chance that being exposed to alternate viewpoints could have got him questioning his assumptions. Basically, if you are online you can't easily hide from the world, it's right there. It's a fun thing to think about.

They're non-political but I kind of like the youtube Storytime Animation community, a group of young animators who use their avatars to tell animated anecdotes and at one point a bunch of them worked with a mutual friend called Boyinaband to make personal music videos about their outlooks on life, like Odd1sOut's song, called "Life is Fun" is effectively about intrusive thoughts that he suffers from, and JaidenAnimations song is about an eating disorder she has trouble with.

SomethingElseYT: I'm Something Else (his songs are totally solo due to being the only one who is a musician by trade, he has another called "Help, Oh Well" both songs are helped by guest animators to make the animation more elaborate than they could do solo in a decent timefame Help Oh Well)

This is an example of SomethingElse's usual thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7rjvYo-1H8

JaidenAnimations: Empty, with Boyinaband. This one's unique in that it's totally liveaction, but Jaiden's normal vids are animated anecdotes like the others.

Or, alternatively, diseases were a way in which God is testing us, and vaccines are how we passed that test. We figured out how to beat the obstacle, a little achievement popped up in Heaven in the 1800s and God was like "Ooh, they solved it! Well done them!" Why does God's plan always have to be so loving passive? I'm an atheist, I shouldn't have to come up with the logic for them.

It's easy to see how you'd get Alva from Ailbhe - the bh sound is a V sound just like in other irish names like Siobhan, and the Ail can be merged into one sound that sounds kind of like "I'll/Ah'll" as said in a southern american accent (because the hard A as in apple can soften into an I sound) if you stretch it out, so compacting it it becomes Al.

"Would you be concerned if you saw a woman in the girls bathroom using a urinal?"
"No. It's none of my business."

God, I never even considered the "urinal in a girl's bathroom" part.

She was asking hypothetically "Would you be bothered by installing urinals in the womens restrooms for women with penises, or tampon/sanitary towel dispensers in mens rooms for men who have periods" - most answers were "I don't care but it sounds like a good idea", the opposite to what she was hoping to get.

There was actually a transman she was speaking to who passed so she thought he was cis. So she was completely floored when he was like "Actually I would find that to be quite useful for my periods, so yeah, that would be great!" It seemed he was intentionally waiting for the funniest time to clue her in too, he was having fun with her.

It's also severely oversimplifying sexual attraction - it's not a blanket thing, it's a case-by-case basis. A cis lesbian may be sexually attracted to a transwoman, or a ciswoman, or they both could just not be her type. Often, even if the situation matches the orientation, they just don't do it for the person. It's the same with anyone - you likely don't even know your orientation for sure until you meet the right person (or see the right porn :P) and feel the stirring that tells you "Ah, that's what kind of person I'm into." and then hope they are into you back.

Hell, the very last scene of the episode is the boss crying alone in his bed completely regretting everything and missing April dearly, implying that even though she's trans he still loved her. Also the biggest red flag during the episode is the line "I used to be a man". No April, you used to have a penis. Graham just doesn't know the difference.

It's a weird kind of irony, in their quest to "protect" women's bathrooms they've effectively made it so you are more likely to be harassed by a cis-woman for trying to use the toilet. They are the biggest threat a woman has to deal with right now, because there's a ludicrously small chance that a man will be in that bathroom and a very small chance a transwoman will be in there, but you know there is always going to be a ciswoman in the toilet so you're never safe.
