Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!
I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.
Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.
Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!
“you guys… got what you wanted”
crazy how an election system designed by people who never want to leave power could get me a leadership neither I nor anyone I care about voted for.
We hopefully will never “own” or occupy neighboring countries, but it doesn’t change how massive our country is.
Just go ahead and fiddle around with different US states or the country itself, and you’ll find out quite easily just how big the “united” states are.
Spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea what it’s like to try and organize people scattered across a fucking continent.
Specifically a continent with very poor access to public services that would make organization easier.
A continent where even speaking out can cost your your job and therefore Healthcare.
A continent where your neighbor might be someone who agrees with you, or they might blow your head off because they thought you might vote for a lefty.
A continent where the government has already threatened to murder any citizen they want just for fighting back against their authoritarian boot. A continent where your closest regional capital might be hours away.
My state is larger than most European countries. The logistics of organizing real action on this scale is insane. And a lot of very rich people have spent a lot of money for a very long time to make sure it’s as hard to do anything about their tyrannical bullshit as possible.
The best most of us can do is vote, try and organize like-minded people locally, and survive the next week.
If you’re a licensed driver, you know how to drive. If people are being given licenses without properly making sure the licensee is both qualified and mentally capable to drive and know what responsibilities that entails, then we shouldn’t be letting them drive and that’s a failing on society.
At least where I’m from, unlicensed minors aren’t allowed to drive without a licensed adult present.
And if you don’t trust your unlicensed teenager to not steal your keys and go on a joyride, the I can’t help you because you need a professional family therapist to work through issues.
They aren’t, but they have the understanding of literal children. They can’t process the fact that a pirated game isn’t a lost sale, because to them every single person on the planet wants what they have to offer, and if they get it any way OTHER than buying it outright at full price, CLEARLY it must be theft and people are targeting them specifically because what they have is so great.
I pirated Minecraft back in the beta days, decided I loved it, and eventually bought it (before notch went full mask off and the sale of mojang) had it not been for TPB, mojang would have had one less sale.
Same for several others. Hilariously, the only time I ever recieved a c&d was for a game I loved and then canceled the online order for when I got the letter two days later. I wanted to buy it, but the letter made up my mind that I was never giving them money again. Fuck em. Dead rising went downhill after the first one anyway so I didn’t miss much.
Executives view life as a zero-sum game.
“guns don’t kill people. people kill people.”
I have used so many cords in my technomancer box over the years, and there are some from the 90s that still get used.
I kept all my old console cables, and wouldn’t you know it, I needed two for nostalgia purchases, one for a friend, and one that I used to fabricobble a Frankencord(s monster).
I’ll let someone throw it away over my dead body.
Yes, and companies can be trusted to not abuse their unquestioned power over their users.
They certainly don’t have a track record of fucking over users!
Why are you defending a multi billion dollar company like they’re paying you?
So I guess the whole “we removed things from your console that you paid for because we lost a license” doesn’t count then.
If I buy a car from a dealership, and the dealership has my car towed after I’ve paid for it because Ford or whoever pulled a contract, you bet your ass I’m going to harass the dealership.
The way it reads to me is “stop asking/demanding what you’ve already paid for or we will ban your account”
Sure, yelling at them is bad.
But this is way more than that
You can’t ask for anything, or they could arbitrarily decide you broke the agreement. You can’t protest in any way, or they decide you broke the agreement.
Merely asking for what you’ve paid for to be returned to you is grounds for banning your profile now.
Lpt: a circular saw is quicker than a sawzall on 2in aluminum pipes. If you aren’t sure what kind of metal you’re working with, use a magnet. If it sticks, use a sawzall. If it doesn’t, use a circular saw. With a little practice, you can get through a 2in pipe in under 45 seconds (12s is my record for 2in aluminum pipe)
How you use that little tidbit of info is up to you I guess, I just like sharing information about metalworking, since I’m a hobby level blacksmith.
And just in case you want to go camping with your metalworking tools, as one does, there are some decent brands that fit nicely in a backpack, and you can get around your campground quickly with bicycles. Just don’t bring your phone, they ruin bike trips.
To make it look legitimate and less like they’re just using their control over their system.
I’d rather see the “bad” things than Ai.
Honestly if the rest of the game is good, I would rather have some napkin sketches, or a computer based paint software.
Every Ai company is scraping everything they can from everywhere they can get away with.
How is this surprising anyone…
Why be “reasonable” with unreasonable people?
Offer to buy at 500x the highest value it ever had, when adjusted for inflation, plus 10% of the company’s revenue going forward, and maybe I’d consider it.
In modern society, it’s getting harder to separate politics from a lot of things, and the people who whine about it just look like cartoon ostriches with their heads in the sand.
Well if not because greed or shitty people in management, why oppose unionization?
That only matters if it goes to court that high.
I am in no way religious, but every retail job I’ve had that pushes credit cards I break out the Bible verses to inform management I can’t push a credit card on any American, because there’s a verse about not charging your own people interest, and since every credit card does that, It goes against my “religious beliefs”. No manager has ever pushed back against it.
