That’s a nice tautology you’ve got there. Regardless, looking at people who explicitly say “we are not women” and then saying “they’re women” seems a bit rude and dismissive of their life experience if you ask me. Personally, if a person wi

In Common Lisp, all globals are dynamically scoped. Lexical scoping only exists in limited scopes (e.g. a function body). There are non-standard extensions provided by many compilers to expose lexical globals. You can also kind of hackily c

It’s much easier to run after bailing from a skateboard than to run after a nosedive. I’ve been casually longboarding for ~12 years, and I rode an electric longboard for my commute for ~3 years. Learning to run out after bailing (or at leas

It seems like you can’t make up your mind whether you’re trying to prove the government is doing a bad thing or whether the vaccines are unsafe. For the sake of argumentation, let’s say that the 4 cases of thrombosis per million is accurat

That statistic could equally be cited as evidence that vaccines are overwhelmingly safe but are plagued by widespread, unfounded belief that they cause harm. It certainly isn’t insurmountable proof that they cause harm. If you want to prove

Thank you! I’ll check them out! For what it’s worth, I’m a trans woman, and I’m well aware of some of the discourse around this topic already (both positions that are pro- and anti- “trans women are women”). I tried very hard to avoid injec

Intersex conditions being rare or not doesn’t really matter for my argument. There could be literally be just one person with AIS in the history of humanity, and the statement “if you consider this person to be female then your definition o

I think they’re being glib, but sex absolutely is a social construct. What exactly constitutes THE properties of the female and male sex is defined by society more than biology. For example, people who have androgen insensitivity syndrome d

It definitely can be. I don’t think it needs to be as long as it is. With 5 space science categories, each with 4 tiers, and each tier requiring 4 unique data cards with one common ingredient and one catalog recipe for the tier, one insight

A compromised device can send a false location or the user may have disabled location. Geolocation has relatively predictable failures.

How much power does the switchable outlet itself draw?

If the terminal is a thing of the past, you can leave me behind. Come find me when you can replicate the power and brevity of a relatively simple tool like “find -exec”. Then we can talk about the real power tools!

I think it’s a bit extreme to go from “our bodies likely have some amount of tolerance for a hazard that has existed and been a fundamental and inescapable part of life since before there even was life” to “the body must surely have a way t

I do this quite often, actually. I have my NixOS system config officially stored in /etc/nixos/ and owned by root. I have a clone that lives in my home directory for WIP changes, but builds always run out of the official copy

I can’t speak for everyone who uses this or tools like it (in fact I don’t even use twitter, Facebook, mastodon, or any of the big social networks). However, I can understand the mentality. When the “public discourse” is crushing your menta

Personally, I think that’s fine iff it is applied consistently. If someone only calls trans people “they” but then goes on to use gendered pronouns for cis folks, that’s definitely a form of hostility.

Let me give my perspective. At this point, my deadname doesn’t carry the same weight it once did. I can joke about it now because it doesn’t feel like my name any more, but, when I started my transition, I had a very different relationship

I’m guessing you align more with the TERF/Gender Critical world view. After all, they’re pretty much the only people that refer to pro-trans folks as “TRAs”. So, at the very least, you have been consuming their content. I invite you to

In my experience as a trans person, cis people usually are the ones making the big deal about pronouns. Everyone seems to be shocked when I don’t attack them for small mistakes. What cis people don’t seem to understand is that there’s a mas

“Somewhat demeaning”? Shemale is a slur.

Re “shemale”: I wonder what other slurs they included in the data set. I have a hard time believing “shemale” is the only slur with gender polarization.

Tell that to the creators who were using Originals as a revenue stream. If the point of killedbygoogle is that google isn’t a reliable platform to build on, this absolutely seems like a fair thing to add to the list.

A much better criticism of that line would be that it was attacking a strawman. It was a hyperbolic representation of the fears I was trying to quell. Saying that I was implying those politicians should be forcibly removed from office requi

Are you inside the trans rights movement and have seen this happen first hand, or can you cite an advocate for trans rights that was shunned by the community? What you describe is an interesting hypothetical problem. In my experience as a
