I think their point is that once biology is involved it’s no longer a social construct.

I also think that people conflate sex and gender and it makes things unnecessarily confusing.

For sake of argument let’s stick with binary for now.

There are words that describe sex. There are words that describe gender. And there are words that can be used as a shortcut for a combination of both.

For example (and if you don’t like my example substitute your own words): a masculine female is often called a tomboy or described as butch.

TERFs probably feel that the term woman is a shortcut for feminine females, and that those who aren’t female but are feminine are not Champagne, they are sparkling wine. And it’s easy to see why someone would be insulted by that opinion. Strictly speaking, being told “you’re not a woman” isn’t necessarily an attack, or stating that you shouldn’t exist. But yes (obviously!) people with extreme views jump onto that bandwagon and are willing to kill/oppress to make everyone the same cuz they can’t handle weird people.

Yes, trans people are weird (queer means weird!). But weird isn’t bad, and people who think weird is bad are not people I would want to hang out with, even if they also happen to be trans. Pride is about pride: own your weirdness.

There is malware that only captures traffic when visiting banking websites.

Date a bunch for “a while”, and then keep the one that’s better than all the previous ones. Odds of you finding the best (or even good) out of the gate are slim. Not to mention that you also probably need to grow as a person, and once you do, will attract higher quality partners and refuse to settle for weak ones.

That’s some slimy ass wording.

Snowflake’s position is that the customers fucked up and didn’t secure their shit correctly.

Then TicketMaster says the unauthorized access happened on something “hosted by a third party” as if it’s Snowflake’s fault LMAO

If the cars are overused that means they require more maintenance, not less. I want walkable places but that’s not the argument to make lol

“we”

“forgetting”

No alert development, threat hunting, or ML research? No upskilling of any kind? Must be nice to work at a company with no impact to the world when it gets popped.

The infomercial guy died in 2009.

My home and car have app/code based keys. The only key I have is for mail but there’s no point in taking that out the house. So I don’t have any keys at all. Going from three to two things in my pockets was a game changer.

My opinion is more nuanced than that and if you don’t see it, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s because you are facing a literal existential crisis because half the American government wants you dead. It’s very easy to lash out and take extreme stances when backed into a comer like this - it’s part of why I urged you to pick better battles so that you don’t alienate your allies.

I was pretty clear about Rowling being a piece of shit.

Do you pay taxes? Guess you love Nazis. Pieces of shit are everywhere and it’s not possible to boycott them all. Yes, this game is a luxury. Yes, you can still be a good person if you buy it.

Given Rowling’s existing wealth and influence I think the world is better off with the game than without it. It’s not like this marginal increase in money will allow her to create a disproportionate amount of hate she is not already doing. You are why people make fun of cancel culture. If you want allyship you should pick better battles. It’s possible to be intolerant of intolerance and still purchase this game.

And I say this as someone who never liked Harry Potter and thought the game was average (way too easy except for the very last boss fight).

Defragging is about… defragging: making the data contiguous (a continuous stream along one arc of the same radius) so it doesn’t have to jump around.

The 3DS got rooted by playing a music file. Anything can happen homie.

You sound fun at (key signing) parties

I’ll let you think about it some more

Their party shouldn’t affect anything. Someone got cancer. You’re supposed to feel bad even if the person who got cancer is on the “enemy” team.

I find it interesting that the URL doesn’t mention her party affiliation but the title of the page now does. This leads me to believe that they added it in afterwards. They intentionally went out of their way to add what should be an irrelevant detail.

So what if a site had terms of use so they can gain that right? Would you turn off your adblockers then?

Jumping a turnstile is less theft than adblocking. That subway train is gonna run whether I’m there or not. On a site, you are more directly consuming their resources.

In any case, due to capitalism you can’t give companies an inch cuz they are required to abuse the shit out of it to squeeze out as much money as possible. It’s not enough to show an ad at the start of a YouTube video, now you have to have multiple unskippable ads at the start and also in the middle of it too. And that’s not enough either, now you gotta track people across websites, even if they aren’t logged in, to show more ads. And that’s not enough either, now you gotta sell user data because if you don’t, you’re leaving money on the table. It’s gross.
