This gives Wisconsin vibes.

I don’t live near there and am so sorry if I’m wrong, please correct me, but… it feels like that midwest nothing going on but alcohol and I’ll make my own fun vibe.

This feels, questionably, like real news. Billionaires cry in public at the stock loses, but eat up more subtle policy changes that will make them more money.

Hopefully. ghostrider2112 seems like a decent dude.

So how do I access these brief posts? Is there an archive somewhere?

You’re not a bad guy, but this is kind of a bad faith argument, saying that a 14yo not being comfortable with their gender is just a phase they’ll grow out of (like any other stupid kid / teenager phase). Does it happen? sure, of course it does. But it’s not ‘just a phase’ for the VAST majority of trans pre adults. If you’re scared that someone will change their mind and keep them from doing anything until 18, then they get hit with full wrong gender puberty and change their bodies in ways they can’t undo. Most of the older trans women I know transitioned in adulthood, and it sucks to say but they still sound like a dude talking. They hate it. They wish so bad they could have been allowed to do this as early as possible. They knew exactly what was going on, but had to wait. It’s up to parents to know their kids and say are you sure? are you SURE? REALLY? yeah? ok cool let’s do this then. Why make them suffer longer?

Or somehow corral some of the wild chickens that are running rampant on the islands

Man, I don’t know about even that… It gets stuff wrong all the time. My boss LOVES his AI bot that joins all meetings (even if he doesn’t) to summarize stuff. Occasionally I look over the summary it produces; it’s about 50% actually correct, 25% ambiguous not wrong but not what I meant, and 25% flat out wrong / opposite of what I meant. I’m sure he relies on the results, ugh. One time I went through the summary and corrected it all, but I don’t have time for that for all meetings.

They look very much like black and white cats :D

The white cat has that princessey squint look and attitude, and the black cat looks ornery but is probably and amazing cuddly cat while also being a butt sometimes.

I loved that guy, politician I think, who said “This app is disgusting. It’s just full of nearly naked young girls!” and everyone was like my dude, it’s an algorithm, that’s on you.

Startpage if you like Google, DuckDuckGo if you like Bing.

I saw a lovely bumper sticker on a Tesla the other day “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy”

“Your kid may already be…” is a pretty standard fear mongering start, right?

Nice article, cool company

Secretly loves it?

Yep. Exactly my cat right now, and for the next year
