Per hour traveled makes the most sense imo, otherwise you bias towards modes of transport used for short trips instead since they spend less time in danger.

It’s the insane price tag of it (given that it’s a car) combined with the fact that beyond the usual evil ceo shit he’s politically active and manipulating public discourse in favor of fascism.

Because of the community, and not knowing what hinge is, I assumed hinge must be a lesbian dating/hookup app and the meme is 2 bi amab people realize theyre so they see the other again on the other app lol

I’ll ignore how dumb the rest of this take is but she did bring her own private security. Her own security guy is the one who got the perpetrator off of her, while event security did nothing and also failed at securing the meet and greet properly in the first place.

In general con security seems to be terrible almost across the board. Absolutely not equipped for how big internet personalities have gotten, it’s mostly in “we’re just a bunch of nerds having our niche event” mode even for events where that’s decidedly no longer the case. And for twitchcon that’s not even the tiniest bit of an excuse since it’s organized by one of the largest tech companies in the world.

That line in particular isn’t an ideology, it’s a fact. Committing murder is illegal, but if I want to, I can still murder someone. More generally, systems can be put into place to prevent behaviour, but anyone can still try to get around them.

(I’m not a full on anarchist since it doesn’t seem practical but I do agree with many of the ideals.)

It really isn’t, it’s the scientific term for a feature in a whole bunch of animals…

Like holy shit context matters, and I don’t mean that in a “it’s fine if it’s not meant as an insult” way, because people have a right to ask to not be referred to a certain way regardless of intent.

But also the tumblr links ask me to log in so I can’t tell if they would reveal this as sarcasm or they have an actually convincing argument.

It’s kind of the other way around, we’ve always had AI, it used to just basically mean a computer making some decision based on data. Like a thermostat changing the heating in response to a temperature change.

Then we got LLMs and because they are good at pretending to have complex reasoning ability, AI as a term started to always mean “computer with near human level intelligence” which of course they are absolutely not.

It’s insane to me how a scene from one of the most cute and wholesome things I’ve watched sparks that reaction lol

It’s always projection isn’t it

It does seem sensible to require some proof of some set time of hrt for trans athletes in top level competition, and that’s about it. Once you’ve been on E for a while all studies I’m aware of show there really isn’t any inherent advantage to being AMAB.

And for any lower competition levels it doesn’t really matter anyway since you can likely find cis women that are better than the men anyway, so who cares if some trans girl has some physical advantage while she waits for hrt to start or whatever.

Yea I think if my parents did this I’d instantly have lost all trust in them after it came off (well at least if they didnt tell me right after that they were joking). I never was quite that sensitive to dirt on me, but in general what apparently worked best is just explaining the why, which is probably pretty common for autistic kids.

Anyway I just wanted to say as someone whos also on the spectrum I appreciate you actually respecting your sons issues as valid instead of thinking the reaction is unreasonable and he should suck it up, which is sadly all too common.

(Which isn’t to say that the panel isn’t funny, messing with kids a bit is totally fine, just need to know them well enough to not actually hurt them. Same as adults really.)

For gender dysphoria there have been studies suggesting that prenatal hormone exposure plays a role. Many also experience dysphoria specifically about their genitals, so it’s likely about more than just social gender constructs (probably also depends on the individual though), with at least some contributing factors already decided at birth.

But yea, both gender and sexuality are very complex and there are bound to be environmental factors for both.

That’s how it started. Nightcore were 2 DJs that did speed up mixes of songs, then nightcore became its own thing. https://www.discogs.com/artist/4533340-Nightcore

“Bro” is gender neutral for me. Though I still try to avoid it with transfems I don’t know very well (which is… all except one) since I can’t know if they’d tell me if it makes then uncomfortable. Since even if you know how it’s meant it can still feel bad.

One of the very few things where I’ll change how I interact with a transfem vs a ciswoman

Hm, some are, but I also see some posts that aren’t. Maybe some sort of federation issue then. Except I just noticed you’re on the same instance as the community… now I’m just confused.

For me, default sorting is top day, so if there have been no posts in the last 24h, it will show “no posts”. You should see posts if you change to a different sorting (e.g. new).

It’s not very active though

Ah yea I’m the opposite, I’m always too warm to the point where I’ll often be out in a t shirt while most people are wearing jackets over a sweatshirt, so skirts would just be optimal.

It’s not even as much of a safety issue for me (since while I’m actually super weak I do not look that way at all), but my social anxiety just won’t allow that.

All the best to you to, may you continue to be comfy.

Skirts are hella comfortable tho. Super easy to put on too. Would absolutely be my legwear of choice (at least outside of winter) if I could do that without people thinking I’m weird.

Oh no I agree, feel free to break that rule, just don’t make it the flight staff’s problem.

Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.

It makes me go from “oh god i have to do this and aaaaah ok ok i will manage the next step and oh shit i did 3 clicks in a row go me. Ok now again… nah in 2 minutes i need a break <random thought> ok time to focus on random thing for a minute and ohhh godddddddd i don’t wanna go back to being productive” to “meh gotta do this i guess, click click click, ok again, click click click <random thought>, do random thing for a minute, ok continue being productive, click click click…”
