I appreciate Wikipedia, always but especially in this era of AI generated misinformation everywhere, but with that said: their policy on neopronouns is just plainly transphobic dogshit that needs to change

And I thought this story stank before. This isn't just "accused", this is "here's the email where you gave them time off for the spy work".

Absolutely repugnant behavior.

you know thinking about it painting two of my bedroom walls dark grey has been an absolutely incredible move for taking pictures of myself with my lighting there being an RGBW LED strip on the opposite wall it makes for a perfect background

My girlfriend's HRT for about a year has been a big tub of estrogen gel she bought in Thailand which she just sort of globs on as and when she feels the urge and I think everyone should have the freedom to enjoy that beautiful experience.

considering i look completely different now that the local vampire* took over our aesthetics i guess i should use a different selfie as my avi

If "turn your back on the transes" was a sound electoral policy they would say that's what they're doing. The fact that they have to obliquely remonstrance about purity tests and vote abstinence shows they have no confidence in the idea.

because i'm well-adjusted and extremely cheap i'm actually floating around the possibility of writing a custom vocal synth for use in game projects

I think it's reassuring in a very small way. It speaks to how unpopular transphobia is; if they felt confident about it, they wouldn't be talking around it. Nobody wants to admit candidates are struggling because they're bad on trans issues because the average person might agree it's disqualifying.

I think it's important to note that Aaron Rupar's votescolding demagoguery against "purity politics" is very obviously about voters turning their back on transphobic Democrats, but does not mention trans people in any way. That's very indicative.

economists have only just started noticing that we are in a bubble this week so i wouldn't be surprised

Do economists not know how money works?

its a good thing the economy is ending soon so all the economists will have to get real jobs

People don't realize how necessary cheap rent is to the arts.

Nothing makes me go from “we have to crush these fascists” to “you know what, fuck you, too” faster than some cis guy talking about purity politics.

Are there any game dev/journalism folks who want to help raise the issue of paid in-game name/gender change being used to extort trans players? I have a name in an MMORPG that could out & doxx me and the game's devs just tell me to pay up instead. I doubt I'm alone in this. Reskeets appreciated 🙏

time and money will go into enforcing, fighting, and litigating these bans that could instead go towards programs that stop actual abuse. and this is because people interested in banning porn do not actually do so out of a desire to help victims. they do so out of a desire to punish those they hate.

ppl are more concerned about having their disgust validated than they are about discussing and combating the erosion of your right to privacy that porn bans are actually about. that is how absurd legislation like "2-5 yrs prison for incest roleplay porn" gets passed.

Elon is just sticking with the proud historical tradition of fascists desperately wanting to be killed in violent car accidents

Tho to be fair, Tony's last name IS Hawk, but that is misleading. He does not fly, nor does he lay eggs.

i normally think that the general ai backlash is a little silly but i understand concerns about, like, jobs and economic welfare at the bare minimum. what i'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the decompilation panic. it's the same code in the end! byte-identical! why do you care?

Reminder this also applies to Scott Cawthon and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

wait a fucking second i can avoid storing asset references on all the bundles if i just.. reindex them on write, since reading a bundle is relatively fast except no wait then i'd have to reread the entire superbundle and have an external state thing eh using like 6 gigs of RAM is _fiiiiiiiine_

because i don't feel like dealing with windows' bullshit i have elected to let the windows users deal with being a secondary concern for once freon will likely just store configs in a .config directory in the user home dir as returned by the JVM no matter the OS

oh hey i could finally switch to my account on PC again

also on the note of local vampire*, i have a new haircut chosen by her and as a result i now look like a different (somewhat) fictional lesbian y'all probably know which if you know who she actually is

æugh browser bsky got stuck on the local vampire*'s account again functional website

Yeah therapy is nice but have you ever let a woman sink her teeth into you until you're writhing in a delicious agony of pain and pleasure
