now the question is: does he have extreme faith in my ability to monetize online content, or is academia just that bad

Most vindicated ptmyg every time the "should trans women have cis women friends" discourse happens

got impractical to post as a thread

Please donate to help these kids afford food!

Talked with the tenured staff at my uni about future career prospects in research and went "I mean it has to compete with the fun and money from writing comedy on the internet" and the oldest guy immediately said "You'll make more money doing that than staying here" lmao

Ok hi thanks for your cooperation on the polymer rot issue. So we've been reviewing your food chains for possible cultural issues and, like, um, well, you see... I'll cut right to it. If the whole "milk" thing comes out? It'll be a federal scandal. Really, really freaky, you guys.

Please help Elias feed his son!!

Alien communicating with world leaders from high orbit: Hiii yeah so this is awkward, we did scans to see about Federation membership but here's the thing... You guys mix artificial polymers in your waste products, and that's a ticking time bomb for evolving polymer rot. We're quarantining you.

Imagine a trans woman Ok. Good. Now imagine that she didn't spawn in a dimly-lit bar at 35 years old, but was actually raised from birth in the same society as you. Ok, you're trying, but now try also having her perceive her environment and understand it through human thought processes.

Shipping TBHX characters in Fandom Discourse-heavy spaces must be a complete nightmare given that some of them are adults at the time of the tournament but have their episodes happen while they're still teenagers, cause like, THOSE fandomites famously struggle with the passage of time conceptually

wikipedia pages that explain common, well-known concepts are comedy gold and should be used proactively

My mom's been telling me horror stories from her work because she writes technical reports where precise word choices matter a lot actually, and has been running into the issue that those reports now keep being "enhanced" by AI that actually completely changes the meaning being conveyed.

The way you can now put a simple idea into an LLM to have it spit out a bunch of words that express roughly the same idea, but with some random shit added to it, probably isn't good for the whole "words have meanings and are chosen on purpose, figure out what that purpose was" angle of text analysis

This post brought to you by Talia describing an article of clothing Nichole was wearing and me going "wait I own one of those"

Such a cruel irony that the greatest swordsmith injured his shoulder in the most dangerous struggle; falling over cross-country skiing, just really eating shit out there. Now only one swordsman questing for vengeance against the Von Trapp family’s weird descendants can rouse them once more to work.

Retired wise old swordsmith who's like "I actually have nothing against swords being used for murder, I'm a huge freak about violence you see. The issue is I hurt my shoulder and now I can't swing a hammer anymore. If it wasn't for that I'd be making worse and more deadly swords every day"

Me: "I'm kind of writing a default relatable trans woman here" Beth: "Is it literally me" (kind of, yes)

Sometimes I think to myself "Gquuuuuux looks interesting I wonder how—" and then I remember I've seen the whole show and just memory holed it

The horrible combination of gorgeous production value, compelling characters, intriguing overarching story, and the slow horrifying realization that the only politically literate reading of the story's themes is that it treats fascist ideological tenets as if they're true

internet tgirl: you will not achieve anything useful by calling yourself a "horrorcel abominationmaxxing gorilloid" replies: how dare you say this instead of handing over your immense wealth for my surgeries, which is the only alternative to calling myself a horrorcel abominationmaxxing gorilloid

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

Fascist Fuck: I can shoot lightning from my hands look: [does the Palpatine pose, entire audience all pretend he's doing it even though he's clearly not] US institutional media: The science of electromagnetism is far from settled.

"type of person who is Different isn't allowed because they're Unpleasant" is a fucking kids' cartoon plotline, it cannot get more on-the-nose than this

Had a whole dream with a STORY ARC about a guy who had to let go of his collection of half-empty soda bottles and move on when it was mysteriously thrown in the garbage, and then he just like, got over it when challenged. My subconscious is getting more invested in structuring arcs I guess

[poster on social media for mech pilots] to be clear, there's nothing inherently submissive about forming the legs in the combination. Legs are structurally essential and hold up the entirety of the combined form. While gifting your leg pilot a collar is currently a funny meme, I ONLY wear mine for-

While I'm on this subject here's a free concept for you all: Five-component combiner where the limb pilots are all butches and the head is the femmest femme you've ever seen. They all take turns carrying her when out of the mechs. It's a polycule, but you already knew that.

assigning pokemon types to rcbg characters nichole: ground/normal katherine: dark/fairy laura:fire/fighting emmy:water/steel rest idk

To Be Hero X analysis: Ghostblade is definitely bisexual. If he wasn't before he gained trust value, the sheer number of fujos necessarily attracted to anyone who looks and acts like that have sealed his fate by now

Every online discussion of a topic where experiences differ between people is like Poster with a severe food allergy: any tips on avoiding peanuts PeanutLover10000: Hi OP, personally I just fucking love peanuts. I can chow down bags of salty nut every single day. I would literally die without them

Suppose you're a merchant taking only Imperial coins but then some suspicious-looking traveler shows up and sure, that's Emperor Rectus' face on the coins, and they weigh the same as the coins, but you just KNOW those aren't legal tender, that odd-looking fellow couldn't possibly have real coins—

"Americans think Jesus is going to come pop them up into heaven one day leaving their clothes on the ground" sounds extremely made up, like the type of thing your weird uncle who tells kids they can plant candy to grow candy trees will say.

Specifying "In Norway" in each post to ward off Americans which will inevitably lead to "Oh you think this is JUST in Norway? You think ONLY Norway has this problem? Have you considered that Bergen exists? You fool? You ingrate??"

So–and for those joining the thread now, I am still talking about Norway, not Insurance Feudalism–a cis woman with Medically Significant Unwanted Facial Hair Growth will see her GP about it and get referred for treatment. A trans woman with the same problem is asking for Gender Affirming Care.

And hey isn't it a bit whacky that because I've got Mad Trans Disease, the only surgeon qualified to treat my Condition is in Oslo, despite the treatment being a commonly available surgical procedure also performed at hospitals elsewhere in the country?

"completely absurd way of measuring breast size given excessive importance for someone's material gain" hey this sounds like a story I read after also writing it called Ranked Competitive Breast Growth

Please help the om Jameel family afford a new tent to live in!!

Microsoft is a genuinely fascinating company like Their products are the most used in practically every niche. All of them are ass. Most of their customers don't even realize they have other options. Their software powers essential infrastructure and can break on mandatory updates.

We're in a whacky zone now where the US president will say some shit like "the germ theory of disease is woke DEI cancel culture and I am ordering a study to prove it" and then like a week later some hacks will produce a study which then gets reported on internationally like it's science

Oslo University Hospital still hasn't gotten back to me on the boob issue since I went there (expensively) to have a surgeon put measuring cups on my tits and go "yup, small enough to qualify"

The thing about outwardly visible transition, whether medical or presentational, is that it's a lot harder for others to deny than just declaring your identity. They're sort of forced to Deal With It Similar to the difference between saying "I'm gay" and bringing a same-gender partner with you.
