“This topic has already been thoroughly covered by They Might Be Giants, as mentioned in my book… which you can buy… right here.”

At least in my experience, the crazy only comes out after getting romantically involved. :)

Trans men don’t compete against women. They compete against men. Trans women on the other hand… you’re talking about something you literally won’t even take time to understand. Unsurprising your opinion is unwanted in moderated spaces.

Agreed. However, it also appears to apply too broadly:

The letter explains that the bill’s “takedown” provision applies to a much broader category of content—potentially any images involving intimate or sexual content at all—than the narrower NCII definitions found elsewhere in the bill. The bill contains no protections against frivolous or bad-faith takedown requests. Lawful content—including satire, journalism, and political speech—could be wrongly censored.

That’s great, I’m happy for you! I do not feel I would be happier on hrt. It’s not right for my personal health journey. But I appreciate your point of view.

Where did I say I was only an agent the whole time? I’ve been in a dozen roles at varying levels. Once again, sometimes generating revenue isn’t the point. Sometimes delivering a service or even just retaining customers is.

6’1” with autism-powered RBF here. All my friends and family love having me lead the way through crowded places. It’s like Moses parting the waters of the Red Sea.

Yeah I’d totally push a magic button but I’m also comfortable in the body I was born in… well aside from my health issues but that’s just another reason I wouldn’t want to deal with “the hassle” as you put it. I’m content to be my AMAB masc presenting enby self.

I’ve spent the last 15 years in call centers and only spent 1 year on a line of business that involved upselling. There’s plenty of lines that don’t. Yes it is common but it’s just as common to not.

I love me some deadmau5 and this track in particular is beautiful. Have an excellent day!

Yeah I can’t imagine how anyone would say this in an entirely straightforward, non-sardonic manner. Pronouncing it that way is dripping with self awareness.

Nice! I just managed to hit 2e12 for the first time today on ghost deck.

I guess my previous comment was unclear. There is PLENTY of anti-trump content on my feed that is definitely not getting suppressed. I just searched “pro choice”, “vice president musk”, “antifa”, “black lives matter”, “trans rights”, “felon musk”, “trump sucks”, “trump felonies”, and “vote blue” and found plenty of results for all of them.

I’ve certainly had no dearth of anti-Trump content rolling through my feed. Sounds to me like people who don’t use TikTok are just making stuff up that fits their worldview.

Uhhh I’m using TikTok with no VPN in the US and still get plenty of anti-Trump, pro-LGBT, left-leaning content. 🤷

TikTok definitely used the news hype to signal to Donald Trump that they will work with him — by giving him “credit” for making the app available again (even though he wasn’t president yet and didn’t do anything). It’s all propaganda from both the US and China.

The urge is very strong but I like to do what I can to foster good relationships with my coworkers (especially my leadership) so I usually just go with “We spoke about the summary of the previous call. Frank would like to add/clarify that _______” to be generous.

Very shady. Because they want the plausible deniability.

I just tell them I need notes to keep track of my conversations and refer back to them frequently because my autism and ADHD causes me to question myself or forget what was discussed.

Then if they wanna push it further I can take my records to HR and ask if they feel like allowing this ADA violation to continue. Doesn’t work for everyone, I know, but it works for me!

This is why I send a “summary” of every call as a message when we’re done. I’ve had some people call me right back and tell me to delete it. I tell them if we can’t agree on what happened on the call then it didn’t and I’ll just ignore the contents of the call.

My wife and I regularly refer to ourselves as “artistic” when neither of us are particularly art-oriented 🤣

I’ll at least be satisfied with being on the right side of history.
