Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar

Uber should pay drivers in gas

Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients

This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?

The rumor that existed in every single school that Marilyn Manson had a rib removed so he could suck his own penis

All my servers are Debian. All my personal machines are Fedora KDE.

At least, it’s not just someone watching a YouTube video of someone else playing

I would much rather pay nothing to watch a human being play a video game than purchase a video game just to watch the game play itself. I say this as someone who has zero interest in twitch, let’s play, etc.

Just save your money and pirate a fucking a movie at that point.

Starbucks intentionally over roasts their beans well past the ideal roasting point. They do this to ensure a consistent flavor across locations, but to me it just tastes like shitty burnt coffee.

At the end of the day, Starbucks is a coffee chain in name only. Their menu is largely milk-based and many of their products happen to have some coffee in them, so I guess it doesn’t matter too much if the coffee component is sub-par.

You’re absolutely right! I told you to bomb Iran without considering all of the obvious fallout. That’s on me, and in the future I’ll do more to accurately convey the potential ramifications of any foreign policy decisions I suggest.

In the meantime, I can help you spin this disaster. Let me know if you want me to:

🦅 Help draft a propaganda piece smearing any detractors as unpatriotic

💣 Generate an image that looks like satellite imagery of a weapons grade uranium enrichment facility

👶 Organize a hangout with your friends to help blow off some steam

Just let me know what you’d like me to get started on. And remember, you got this!

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m obviously not gonna steal anything. Sure, accidents happen from time to time. The supermarket decided to replace their cashiers with self checkout operated by random non-employees, after all. If I happen to ring up filet mignon as a Roma tomato, I think that’s just the inevitable result of outsourcing your labor to untrained civilians with no incentive to accurately do the job .

That’s a completely separate discussion. We’re talking about gender dysphoria, not schizophrenia. I hope you understand why people assume you’re a troll, because what is even the point of bringing that up in this context?

Somewhere around the majority of people employed in academia are absolutely useless.

It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.

I feel pressured to only ever present as a cisgendered heterosexual person regardless of whether that’s correct or not. The pressure is for LGBTQ+ people to simply disappear from public society. Correct has nothing to do with it.

“Wrong” is probably not the best term for it. People’s understanding of their own identity can evolve over time, but their own assessment of their sense of self will always be the most accurate barometer to go by. Yes, some people detransition, but as others have stated they’re a small minority and ultimately that’s their decision to make whether it’s due to a change in how they identify or pressure from external forces.

But to the original commenter’s point, we should just allow people to be the masters of their own identity and meet them where they are at any given point. If that were the case, the idea of getting it “wrong” wouldn’t be a big deal at all, they could simply give us an update and the world keeps turning.

I think the point they were making is that a decent support system is not the sole determining factor as your post suggests.

Even your counterarguments rest on the assumption that this is true. You suggest that if it’s not a support system they must be “inherently” good or evil, completely ignoring the more likely possibility that there are countless other variables that could factor into what kind of person someone becomes.

Gender dysphoria

“Hey, buddy. Just so you know, you’re autistic.”

“What? Hey, fuck you. That was uncalled for.”

Were you thinking of Sync maybe? That hasn’t been updated for almost 2 years.

Well they are suing Valve, so obviously the NY Attorney General’s opinion is that it is already banned according existing policy.

It’s their thermal paste. I use Hellmann’s mayonnaise myself, but I can see the appeal of sriracha.

I use Mullvad. You can pay with monero and you don’t need to provide any info, no email, phone, or even a username or password. It just generates an account number that serves as your login.
