There are other forms of MGM too. Fortunately most of them are rare these days. Castration, subincision, penectomy.

And then there’s intersex people. That are routinely subject to “corrective surgery” in infancy. As adults they tend to be firmly of the opinion they should have been left alone and that the surgeries were harmful.

IMO bodily integrity and autonomy is a fundamental human right that should be absolutely respected for every human being.

Security through obscurity. Solid move.

Mexican Martial Arts?

Cue every kid in Iowa telling teacher their pronouns are Fr/Fi/Fo/Fum for a laugh.

Yeah, it has the same initials as “Atlassian Intelligence”. It could really confuse people.

Don’t worry, the bigots who are backing him won’t let him forget.

Great hashtag.

Today it’s immigrants and trans people.

Just give it a couple of years for the hype/boom/bust cycle to complete, then it’ll settle down and people will start using the tech appropriately.

There is another thing worse than an awful book: an awful book that comes at the end of an otherwise amazing series.

Looking at you, Jean M. Auel.

This isn’t even remotely ambiguous. The DoJ’s interpretation is correct.

The question isn’t really about the meaning of “and”; it’s about the syntactic structure of the whole section.

A defendant is eligible if they do NOT have (A and B and C). In other words, having any of A, B or C will disqualify them.

The law could have been written in a more readable fashion, for example:

the defendant—

• (A) does not have more than 4 criminal history points…;
• (B) does not have a prior 3-point offense…; and
• © does not have a prior 2-point violent offense…

But the meaning is the same either way. Amazing that this got to the Supreme Court.

It’s also entirely plausible that this is exactly what was intended when the law was written.

Fair enough. If you want to solve the problem of gender equality, give it to the experts.

I thought this one was declared “satire” a couple of days ago.

Not to mention it’ll work terribly in most light conditions.

Bonus points if you use an LLM to generate said illegible nonsense.

My work machine is W11 and has options to change it. Not one of those stupid ‘home’ vs ‘pro’ version things is it?

They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.

This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.

Nope, I’ve seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.
