  RE: https://chaosfem.tw/@what/117300313208629512 this is not a strawman, btw. I literally saw the same person make both these points in an online argument.

  Lots of liberals saying, “who cares about trans people, they’re barely a significant portion of the population?” followed shortly by, “selfish trans people refusing to vote for their annihilation are costing us elections.” Make up your mind! Are we too few to matter, or are we such a great force that we single-handedly decide elections??

  I think part of why I haven’t come out at work is the worry that if I lose my male privilege they will all finally recognize me for the imposter I so clearly am.

  Women are only valued in our society when they’re young and beautiful, and I constantly have to remind myself that I haven’t had the value of my womanhood to *me* robbed by not transitioning at a younger age. That’s some bullshit patriarchy has installed in my brain stem but not reality.

  @twipped@twipped.social Had a coworker say the other day that they hit their token limit early so they just didn't do anything for the rest of the day. Wild stuff. This was a person who was an extremely fast and effective developer before the top-down push to use AI all the time.

  @miriamrobern@dice.camp Sorry, what?? That’s a thing? I didn’t think there was a smell associated with a (clean, well-maintained) neovagina because the environment was wrong for the wee smelly beasties

  “Good news, factory workers! We are throwing out the old machines and putting in brand new ones that do totally different things. You won’t be any more productive, but we won’t train you and you can’t be sure the machine is doing what you expect it to do. It’ll be great! And if it isn’t, it must be a problem with you.” This is what companies going all in on AI are like.

  @phillmv@hachyderm.io I dunno how I’ll respond tbh. But right there with you being excited. I like filling it out and looking at the data afterwards.

  @miriamrobern I knew this one! But only because I’m a massive nerd! There’s a long list of games in it which is important as an early source of information about games (writing out game rules or about games at all is a very recent phenomenon, and most of our earlier sources come from oblique mentions or laws outlawing specific games, etc) https://games.porg.es/articles/lists/rabelais/

  I’ve visited 23 countries which is not nothing. If you were to colour in those states on a political map, it would look like a respectable smattering. But if you were to instead draw lines of where I traveled, it would lay bear just how little of the earth, even the places I’ve “been” I’ve actually seen. It’s a big old globe.

  I’ve mentioned this before on here, but I got teased a lot in high school for being gay. I never understood it, and so it didn’t bother me. I had a girlfriend. Since I was still trying to be a dude, I was categorically not “gay”. But obviously I was putting something out that the bullies picked up on. I wasn’t conscious of doing anything; I was trying my hardest to seem like an ordinary guy. Later, lots of people would describe me as camp. No teasing this time, but also people picking up on so...

  If the cool S was a three dimensional object in which a loop has a twist (as I’ve tried to illustrate here—the “ends” of the S not terminating but instead connecting behind the middle of the S), then if you flipped it over onto the other side it would still be a cool S. I think that’s pretty neat

  S&G: Because a vision softly seeping left its seeds while I was sleeping Darkness: Oh geez I don’t know anything about that but that sounds rough for everyone involved. Do you want my help returning the seeds— S&G: And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence. Darkness: Oh gosh. Can I get you guys anything to drink? I have some pop and water of course, I think there may be some beers in the fridge…
