Just a GenX trans girl. She/her

Also a software engineer, an avid reader, and a woman of rapidly shifting hyperfocus.
It's so much worse than most people think, because they'll believe "oh, I didn't open the file" when that's no more tethered to reality than it's original incorrect results.

And it's not fixable.

It's a glorified text prediction engine and we're trying to put it in charge.

Worst timeline.

It's one of those things that has very little actual impact, but always seems to throw me for a loop when I figure it out.

It's like morning me was "oh, today's gonna be a distracted sort of day. Let me start you off right..."

Oh yes, you do. And then you wonder why everyone else is being weird about it.
November 27, 2025 at 1:21 PM
I'm looking forward to that point. :)

Though I'm already much closer than I could have imagined when I started.

Sadly, I think these results will ensure no social media platform will follow suit. Their money comes from angry engagement, and learning how many of those voices stirring anger aren't even local to whatever issue they're screaming about will kill their ability to cause that angry engagement.

Oh, the Paternoster gang has my heart. For my first Mother's day my spouse got me a cameo from Catrin Stewart!

That look is stellar and you're absolutely rocking it.

A friend gifted me with a lovely dirndl, it fits perfectly and I look amazing in it. My grandparents were from Germany, so I grew up seeing lederhosen and dirndls in the fall. I never had one of my own

I still plan to get an authentic traditional one from relatives in Munich, but this is darn close

Love the dress! And the pin. And the earrings!

Social hierarchical worldview. Doing what's forbidden to those "below" you is a status signifier. It is proof of your place in the socal hierarchy.

Such a worldview is very common among conservatives, and it's why they consider equality a loss, because they're no longer above others.

But they should just still let him die and just canonize "007 is a position, it's holder is always named Bond".

Super spy, deniable asset, walking collection of state secrets? You'd hide their real name from everyone, even your own people, to make it harder to dig into background and find leverage

I mean that I can buy. The world can change fast, and I can't imagine super spy training is brief.

If you've a training pipeline and you revamp it, what do you so with the folks still in training?

Especially when the training is expensive and the knowledge dangerous?

The number of people who think emails disappear forever when you hit send or delete is staggering.

I'm not a lawyer at all, but even I know the "don't put in an email what you don't want to read out loud to a courtroom".

My grandmother sang me thr classic children's songs from the country she grew up in.

The one I remember best involves the main character dying and his corpse being devoured by birds.

I think singing kid songs about death is kinda... Historically apt?

It's really really lovely.

The sparse feel, the color transition on the framing lines, it's got this sparse elegance and simplicity to it that I bet wasn't easy to make work so well!

You have sold me on this game.

Yeah it is :) it's pretty awesome.
