Leonard Nimoy and the animal actor who portrayed the Alfa 177 canine (in all likelyhood) are both dead.

I would prefer a world where a cute happy dog and Leonard Nimoy were still with us and William Shatner had died, twice.

Also this doggo is absolutely adorable in that costume

The wrong two of those actors are dead. ☹️
It should have been Shatner, twice.

It is not "pointless nitpicking". It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

  1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
  2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what "sex" is
  3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one "in casual conversation" considers someone "sexless" when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the "sex" of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can't imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I'm not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they're never gonna let you into the car.

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

"Sex" is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn't stop being referred to as "female, late 40s" when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how "sex" gets used socially and epidemiologically.

explicitly say they didn’t want to remake it

It was only one of them. The other said she didn't want to and didn't.

So does the car drive into the restaurant to pick up the food or...?

There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us

There was no "us". Lilly minded her business.

The meta shit explaining they made the movie cause it was either them or wb

It was only one of them. Her sister rightly chose to stay away from it.

There’s a fourth??!

If you count Animatrix as number 2 I guess.

I didn’t even bother watching the last one.

You didn't watch Revolutions?

We don't need any more than the 3+1 animated anthology that exist.

What's the math on Ukraine blowing up Russian oil refineries and a loss for Russia drying up the campaign funding for the people blocking climate solutions?
