Then it hit me that you typically don’t just take estrogen together and go to a Starbucks alone platonically.
Maybe I’m just unusual as well but this doesn’t really sound that strange to me? I’ve gone to coffee shops and taken care of medical concerns in the company of platonic friends plenty of times.
Very happy it has worked out the way it has for you though.
Disagree. The frustration caused to individuals looking for an answer far outweighs the utterly inconsequential reduction in Reddit’s “value” by removing the comment. Burning your Reddit history is performative nonsense that only causes problems for frustrated individuals.
“Would you do X for $Y” questions are always wild to me because the X is almost never anything that objectionable, and the Y amount is almost always enough to solve literally every problem in my life.
Satanic is not the same as satanistic.
“Wolfthorn” is orange, lychee, coconut, and pineapple. At least according to my search just now.
Oh, my bad. I wasn’t aware that lane splitting was addictive, a symptom of depression, and a vector for the exploitation of vulnerable people.
There’s a reason lane-splitting is illegal in many jurisdictions. It’s still a tragic loss, but your friend made the active decision to operate a vehicle that was already more dangerous in an even more dangerous way.
The irony of the etymology for “hysterical” in this context is not lost on me.
…does she think that no man ever gets his eyebrows trimmed? It’s pretty far from being a meaningful concern of mine, but it’s something I’ve absolutely been offered (and occasionally accepted) when getting a hair cut.
I guess it’s also possible I have the scenario reversed and she thinks no woman gets this done, but I feel like that doesn’t line up as well with the assumed stereotypes here.
Or I guess another option is she thinks every single (insert transitioned gender) must do so.
Exactly my thinking. For $30 billion I don’t care if I come out the other side a mindless husk. I’m leaving instructions before I go in about what to do with the money and improving as many lives as I can.
If I make it out with enough of my mind to enjoy some of it myself then that’s just gravy.
The “something” in question is elements. Barring the very inadvisable edge case where you’re ingesting some kind of pure metal or degenerate matter there is not anything you can eat that does not contain chemicals.
Complaining about a food containing “chemicals” makes about as much sense as calling out the software you use for being compiled from “code”.
Agreed. Even if everyone is on the same page that wouldn’t happen overnight, but it really seems like we’ve just been further entrenching it rather than trying to move away from it.
I’m a much less imposing but also hetero male but this also more or less lines up with me as well.
I’ve been of the opinion for a while that when faced with the idea that gender, as distinct from sexuality, is just a collection of social trappings, we’ve kind of gone in the wrong direction. Maybe I’ll get flak for this, but I largely agree with RuPaul’s take that gender and other identity stereotypes are absurd, and that it would be better to tear them down rather than affirm them or create increasingly specific labels to attach to people. A person’s gender doesn’t matter in the slightest to me with regard to my interactions with them, beyond the grammatical concern of using whatever their preferred pronoun is.
Whether you’re male, or non-binary, or agender, or whatever else you might identify as, I couldn’t possibly give less of a shit, and I want to stress that I mean that in the most accepting possible way rather than in a dismissive one. What matters far more to me is that you are Eric, or Rebecca, or Alphonse, or elucubra. I care about who you are, not what you are.
And maybe, maybe, if everyone was more accepting about a person’s individual identity and didn’t make a fuss about how they choose to present themselves we never would’ve seen all this importance attached to labelling people in the first place.
Yes, there are furry-trained stable diffusion checkpoints available, as well as at least one paid service that offers furry generation as a specific feature.
This is really what blows my mind the most. With all this talk about how much power LLMs and diffusion models use companies are still constantly cramming it into places where it’s just running all the time passively doing things no one asked for.
Overall power use by these things would probably be cut down by an order of magnitude by just limiting it to directed, intentional use only.
I feel this. Working from home now but even when in the office spent a staggering amount of time just… doing nothing. Spent multiple days in the office just watching old episodes of The Computer Chronicles on youtube.
Recently praised as one of the most productive/useful members of my team and also thanked for taking so much of my time to help other teams.
Not a furry though.
I add carbon dioxide. Fizzy water best water.
The light (and button label) lied.
