A few hours. My employer feels it’s important that I sit in front of my computer in their building, rather than in my home.

Cheers 🍻 and I appreciate it, but it’s all good! It’s a reasonable assumption to make, given the context

Yeah, that’s fair

It is broad, yeah. And I can’t speak for everyone, but speaking from my own experience, I certainly resent that my parents made that decision for me. Especially given that there’s no medical reason for it, I don’t see any reason why someone should violate someone else’s bodily autonomy like that.

Edit: also, not a boy :)

If you want your child to resent you for mutilating them with unnecessary surgery without their consent, go for it. If you want to be a good parent, don’t.

Sink it is, then.

I completely believe that. Actually sounds like a pretty tasty way to keep down pests and have an additional income stream

I did. But I could easily see how people are put off by the “fan base”. I actually avoid talking about Linux at all irl because I don’t want people to think I’m a fossbro

Mullvad. Excellent service, never had an issue. Used to use Proton, but their CEO sucks ass

I find it valuable and worth supporting, so I donate a dollar a month. It’s not much, but I want to contribute (monetarily, in addition to editing)

I noticed an initial bump in LLM-generated text when ChatGPT first came out, but I think Wikipedia is starting to get a better handle on counteracting it. Better than a lot of other places on the internet, that’s for sure

Fucking random racists that got a $50,000 signing bonus

Love the Cody Showdy

It would bar federal funding from going to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender-affirming care, including HRT. Like a Hyde Amendment for trans healthcare. Basically, no medical facility that wants to take Medicaid or Medicare would be able to provide gender-affirming care. Oh, you’ve got an entire hospital? That’s nice, but you have a single endo who prescribes HRT, so no funding at all for you.

For real! Moving is so hard. Because you need to find somewhere to live, somewhere to work, and how to move all your possessions, usually with a very small window of time, as you need to keep bringing money in to stay afloat. Not to mention the sheer cost of moving - overlapping rent/mortgage payments, renting a truck, etc. And then there is all the logistical hassle - starting and stopping utilities, updating ID, changing addresses for important accounts.

And all that is just within the country. Leaving entirely, especially to live and work somewhere else, is even more difficult than all of that! Not to mention, then you’re likely leaving behind all social connections you have, and you may need to learn a new language.

People who go “if you hate it so much, or you don’t feel safe, just leave” have no idea what they’re talking about

I left Spotify for TIDAL a couple months ago. No complaints here!

We’re so fucked. I hate this country so much. I wish I could leave.

Robert Evans and the rest of the Cool Zone folks do It Could Happen Here as a daily Monday - Friday show, I really recommend it

And meds are like that little pot of smoke that makes the bees fall asleep and the buzzing fade

Oooooh shit. How cheap do we think I can get a used Fanuc on eBay?
