    A guy I know at my local bar likes to brag about the fist fights he was in in his 20’s. He’s 53. He also brags he’s had 13 concussions.

    Recently, he was parroting anti trans shit from Fox. I asked him why he was afraid of trans people.

    He said “I ain’t afraid if those f&_$&tts!”

    I said “Yes, you are. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t think about them at all.”

    He didn’t like that.

      I would argue that the opposite of love is not hate.

      Both love and hate are powerful emotions, and both require that you give a shit.

      The opposite of love and hate is indifference.

      I am indifferent to pretty much everything. Do whatever you want, I don’t give a shit.
