Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

ironically, the "women & nonbinary" groupings mostly (but not exclusively) pushed by cis people make the presumption of including the nonbinary people who are not women and don't want to be included as women, but exclude the nonbinary people who are, b/c of the degendering effect of sexing the body

theory on why so many nonbinary tfems also consider themselves woman adjacent in some way (even if its like nonbinary lesbian) or like fem gay/bi is b/c "legible androgynous nonbinary modes" are "boy-coded" by society & so this alone still ties nonbinary tfems to an implicit maleness they dont want

There was a reference to the word "pwned" in the new Knives Out movie and it made me sad kids today don't say "you got pwned" anymore, they just say shit like "unc is washed" or "sixty seven" then steal your wallet.

Guy says "you can totally run a murder mystery in D&D!" and then when asked how, they describe a freeform improv roleplay session where they occasionally randomly sat down to fight some monsters in empty square rooms (the only thing you actually do in D&D 5e) between events
Criticizing D&D for anything is the most frustrating thing in the world because talking to the system's ardent defenders is like talking to an insane person
"If you don't like it you can just houserule it to be different" Why would I not just? Play a different game?

Imma be real this was just an excuse to market test "tizzing [someone] up"
How did the sentence make you feel?
What do you think was the most important part of the interaction?
How likely are you to recommend "tizzing up" to your friends or loved ones?
Do you feel more or less thirsty than before?

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Blue states are still v-coding trans women in prison.
While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

This tracks, as a lot of the writing/reviews on it I've read have been very "you young people just don't understand" in tone.

Parents don't like to listen to adult trans people. Even the supportive ones often see us as the bad outcome they're helping their kids avoid. I honestly have no idea how to reach them to stop their kids getting tortured by these monsters.

The extent to which we can reach parents and stop them from cooperating with this is gonna be crucial. Any trans kid engaging with the NHS *at all* will be harmed more than they would be by simply leaving their dysphoria untreated (and way way more than DIY on the quiet).
This is in addition to some awful physical tests, an abusive assessment and approval process, awful coercion, terrible and abusive power dynamics, it is just so bad.
Why is anyone who claims to care about trans kids defending this?

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?
