prof: ah yes, i just finished reading the proof but don't worry. it is indeed trivial.

Get the trivial mug.A non-trivial solution exists within the bounds of pan-contiguity. Specifically: non-trivial solutions can be expressed as a function of the ultra-finitive space of local heat-conservation (the-turquoise-line).

Get the non-trivial mug.What you're doing. I'm not making any extraordinary claims here and the claims I AM making can be substantiated with video evidence.
Hym "You're trivializing. Likely out of spite. This isn't a mental illness. It isn't a manifestation of my own mind. There are reasons to kill you and your kids. It's either too difficult or too scary for you to deal with that. So you've created a mythology that ommits those reasons and you're doing this because it's easier for you to compell the behavior of 1 person than it is 5. So that's what you're trying to do. Get me to cede authority over my own mind. Regardless of whether or not I'm CORRECT. If saying things that marginalize tansgenders does some significant psychological damage I don't see how you can think that this would not. Which means it isn't the damage you care about. YOU need therapy because YOU have a disfunctional mind. I don't have depression. I don't have anxiety. You are collectively doing a thing to me. Actively and deliberately. I will not give you what you want. The only thing I can be certain of... Is that you REALLY don't want me to hurt you kids. It should concern you that the people touting freedom of thought have pivoted an entire 180° and started pushing the idea that certain thoughts are like literal viruses and, therefore, they need to do what YOUR SIDE was trying to do... With a dash of "but muh-child safety." You're not as rational or as skeptical as you think you are and I can guarantee this won't end how you want it to... Like, literally... That's a thing I can do manually."

Get the Trivializing mug.The rhetorical minimization of capitalist harm, treating systemic failures as minor, isolated, or even humorous. It reduces profound suffering to anecdotes about “avocado toast” budgets, frames exploitation as “hustle culture,” or mocks demands for change as the whining of a “snowflake” generation.
Trivialization against the Victims of Capitalism Example: A meme showing a homeless person with a smartphone captioned, “Priorities.” This trivialization reduces the complex crisis of housing and mental health to a single, misleading image, suggesting poverty is a choice of frivolous spending rather than a systemic trap.

Get the Trivialization against the Victims of Capitalism mug.The treatment of colonialism’s legacy as a niche academic grievance, a political correctness fad, or a matter of simple statues and vocabulary. It reduces centuries of structural violence to a debate about “offense” or “changing names,” mocking demands for reparations or accountability as oversensitive.
Trivialization against the Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism Example: Calling for a museum to return looted artifacts and being told, “Get over it, it’s ancient history. Should we give back the Roman roads too?” This trivialization equates millennia-old infrastructure with recent, culturally sacred plunder, reducing a moral claim to a silly reductio ad absurdum.

Get the Trivialization against the Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism mug.Portraying the negative consequences of liberal policies as minor inconveniences or as the hysterical complaints of groups seeking “special treatment.” It mocks demands for substantive equality as a desire for “coddling” or a refusal to engage in the “free marketplace of ideas.”
Trivialization against the Victims of Liberalism Example: Dismissing calls for robust anti-discrimination laws with, “So now we need a ‘safe space’ from every mean comment? Grow a thicker skin.” This trivialization reduces the material and psychological impact of discrimination to mere hurt feelings, framing the liberal norm of resilience as the only valid response.
