I’m in my 40’s and trans, and ever since I was a child I knew I didn’t fit my assigned gender and it just felt… wrong. Took me a long time to understand this was me being trans and not me being “broken” somehow, thanks to a conservative upbringing, but basically I’ve known all my life.

The first time I saw a headline about this, just saying that the Supreme Court overturned “the Chevron doctrine” my initial thought was that I have no idea wtf they did but if the votes went 6-3 I know it can’t be anything good.

Much to my consternation I appear to have been right.

“Facilitating suffering of people” is pretty much literally the entire conservative ideology. More suffering is a feature, not a bug.

Any predictions on how long it’ll take for conservatives to start outlawing sterilizations for women?

It’s called Cronyism.

Funny way to spell “conservatism”

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your invaluable input, and kindly invite you to redirect your suggestions to a more interested recipient.”

You’re still trusting that the 1st party javascript won’t be vulnerable to supply chain attacks, though

and internet still works… Mostly

That load-bearing “mostly” is doing a lot of work here.

I invite everybody to find out how everything “mostly” works if you disable “most of” javascript – also have fun deciding which parts to enable because you think they’re trustworthy

Err, I mean completely regardless of whether I think 8GB is enough or not, they didn’t admit anything of the sort:

There’s a memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion in Xcode 16, and it’s the closest thing we’ll get from Apple to an admission that 8GB of memory isn’t really enough for a new Mac in 2024.

(Emphasis mine.)

Not being able to run “AI” predictive code completion with 8GB doesn’t mean they’re “admitting” jack shit.

May well be, but I saw comments like “This is how the left loses voters”, and generally the pointless mean-spirited bigotry does come from the right

Not an American tradition, but a conservative tradition; in Finland we just had two literal neo-Nazis stab children in a shopping centre.

Huh, interesting. I’m autistic and I tend to personify objects, but if I’m with people I might turn it into a joke, because I mean come on, the idea that eg. a hammer is now happy because something happened to it is pretty funny.

I can’t be mean to NPCs in games. I say “sorry” to my robot vacuum if I bump it with a door or something, and I encourage it when it’s struggling with an obstacle. I think my electric kettle is happy when I use it to make tea. All in all it’s pretty funny that I know objects (probably!) don’t have emotions, but of course they have emotions.

Hey, not all cars that get downloaded are victims, after all. Some cars do want to get downloaded, and that’s totally fine.

Yeah I know, I’m the person who commented saying I had the exact same reaction 😀 I’d made this comment before reading yours and just went “hah, figures I wasn’t the only one”

Hah, I had the exact same reaction

And not just any priest, but a megachurch pastor. So like a priest but worse
