Thirty six here. Still fine.

I mean once in a while sure but it's not debilitating.

Because

(Are console wars back? Are we doing this again?)

This is incredibly disappointing news and also terrifying to think advertisers have so much control now on our press

This is kind of a tangent but I've always had mixed feelings about his essay about not being gay in a time where there were a ton of rumors around the topic, which relates I think to his brand of masculinity.

Essentially his point was that if he was gay he would be the most out and loud person about it so that others could feel safe too do the same, and it always stuck me as an easy thing to say.

But now that I'm out I find it kinda inspiring since I DO get to be that out and loud queer and I would lie if I said his words didn't inspire that.

So. Well played I guess Henry.

Oh my god they were roommates business partners

This is so cute

Thank you Ada. I appreciate the work you do here 💜

I was present at several of the protests in Portland that supposedly burnt down the city.

In all cases they were pretty mild until the police escalated. Like people were rightfully pissed but they were largely marches and chants until driven into a corner by riot cops who were all too ready to blanket downtown in tear gas and rubber bullets

There were elements that would go to the justice center and shake the fence and scream at the cops but nothing that justified the national guard showing up. Looting and such always occurred in the chaos ensuing after an extreme attempt to clamp down on peaceful protest.

waow

BRICS really limits the amount of impact a western sanction has. US/Europe isn't the only game in town by a long shot.

(not trying to get into a debate about the merits of such, just talking factually)

I mean Foundation is for people who have no thoughts about women so maybe a slight improvement.

(Half joking?)

That's because it's not controversial and that's why it's so weird we're focused on it.

Minors are in the vast majority of times given puberty blockers at most which is a reversible process.

The focus on this non-issue is to generate controversy and impact hormonal care of minors and all care for adult trans people and everyone keeps falling for it

Nobody is trying to convince trans people they need surgery, it just so happens that it's an effective treatment for dysphoria as has been proven in study after study after study.

It's a choice between the patient and their doctors. Perhaps it's societal, perhaps not. Either way your magical idealism world doesn't actually exist in real life so it should continue to be a practice because it works

Signed, A trans woman who will have some but not all surgical treatments.

It's probably Windows IOT which is commonly used for signage and displays

Yeah there's definitely no concerted effort to strip rights from Trans people occurring across the country.

Oh wait no that's exactly what's going on: https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2024

Must be nice to be so ignorant things that don't personally affect you.

I liked it but there's two main issues IMO

1. Leans really heavily into the "If you're smart you should get to do whatever you want"

2. A complete lack of women characters which is particularly telling combined with point 1

It wasn't a rule, but it was often done as a bit

I hope you die. I hope we both die.
