Not sure if you played on a CRT in the past, but nonetheless it’s interesting how different things looked. Here is my favorite example.

Similarly it also grinds my gears when I ask an enum question but they return a bool. I gave multiple options and “yes” was not one of them.

On The Line, a host loves using the analogy that 1% of the population is remarkably close the entire Russian population. So it’s like saying we have men, women and russians, but those don’t count, because they are an anomaly.

Absolutely perfect! We need more whimsy in life.

It confuses me too. Most HRT medications were originally developed for cis people. I find it cruel to restrict access for trans and gender non-conforming people when the same treatments are readily available to cis people.

My roommate once came up with a similar idea of a horrific monster always ironing your shirts against your will. You cannot stop it, your shirts will be perfectly ironed and everyone will be in awe at your perfectly ironed shirts. You don’t know where this creature comes from or why it does this, but it’s far too strong to be stopped. IT WILL IRON YOUR SHIRTS!

You go girl! So happy for ya! ^^

Literally nobody claimed otherwise.

OMFG that’s soo cool! I want more so badly ^^

I feel like if the boss also healed continuously it would be less annoying, like you can plan around it. What grinds my gears is when I think I’ve won, and the game just goes NOPE!

That’s cool! I have a friend in a similar position, she insists that she can still boy mode, despite her “boy mode” voice sounding like when a voice actress dubs a barely pubescent boy. At her previous workplace her coworkers got a kick out of every stranger correctly assuming she was a girl and “correcting” them. Tho hearing her story made me feel a lot less anxious about my boy mode, like I don’t need to hide as much.

I feel called out :0 Tho I have managed to rationalize my self back into feeling so I think we’re good ^^

Lesbian sex, the most powerful weapon known to humanity.

Same here, everyone goes crazy for it and looks at me with suspicion for not using it. And I look at them with rage when I ask them what something does because it looks sus af and they hit me with “idk, the AI wrote it, it said it had a good reason”. Or when my team lead tells me to work on his AI generated library that we ended up replacing with a 150 line class, I have no clue how he managed to generate an entire project around nothing…

So far the only actually good uses we found for it is as a companion for PRs, because the AI occasionally spots bugs relating to the bloated archaic libraries we use, and for app documentation, because we have 20 years of technical debt and lost knowledge that every human so far has refused to sit through, so an AI summary is better than nothing.

My wording is a bit confusing, sorry about that.

Her coworkers thought she was a man because she insisted she wasn’t trans when she started working there, she still had M on her ID, so she thought it would be easier to boy mode. They thought she was a femboy while strangers just saw her as is.

I appreciate the history lesson. I was always really confused by the term, but just accepted it as a silly random easy to remember word.

I’d prefer if it wasn’t hidden in the comments tho. Presenting it this way is very much inviting conflict, considering most people have no clue.

Always find it curious, I have it the other way around, I know like 2 trans guys IRL.

That’s like 85% of the US population... Well that caught me off guard, like that claim is beyond stupid. I almost feel embarrassed that I needed to double check the population stats. How can anybody take anything he says seriously?

worth it

Yea… Tho I’d argue that’s true of most jobs nowadays. Nothing, or somehow less than. Joining the work force has been a very depressing experience so far. Any ambition of learning and or contributing getting annihilated. It’s a compromise that allows me to have a roof and food at the end of the month without living at my parents.
