ENOUGH WITH THESE BULLSHIT CLAIMS THAT AI CAN REPLACE HUMAN TRANSLATORS!!!
Translation is *not* the science of finding the perfect definition of a word from a foreign language and putting that definition into the text.
Translators translate, of course. But!

Every day it's: sup, man. Hey, Man. Thanks, MAN.
This is why I'm growing my hair out. I *want* to not immediately be seen as a man, but I feel like coming out at work as non-binary would bring me more problems than comfortability so... I just silently deal with it. Eventually.

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

Christian, If You're Supporting ICE, You Shouldn't Be Celebrating Christmas
Christian, I’m trying to reconcile two things I’ve seen this season, maybe you can help me make sense of them…

Dps players. Why are you like this. Just had someone tell me I was "doing nothing" because we lost when we had two dives who wouldn't push cart.
Meanwhile I was just shy of 34k healing, 2nd most heals in the match by 60 points. That's like 2 basic hits.
But I "did nothing." Yup. 🙃🙃🙃

So I had Potion Craft for the Switch and was nearly complete with all achievements, until the update dropped, changing everything and making it much easier. I still finished that save file, but started a new one just to see how many days I'd save. About 20 it seems 😅

Feliz navidad a todos, especialmente a quienes estáis solos, tristes, enfermos, lejos de los vuestros (cenéis o no con ellos), a los que habéis perdido a alguien hace poco, a los que trabajáis esta noche… En definitiva, a quienes deseáis que estos días pasen lo antes posible. Paz y ánimo.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Fuck it, I want to get a formal diagnosis for autism now. I'm tired of being treated poorly because people don't understand why I'm different than most. I want to at least be able to back up "I'm autistic" with something most people will respect.
