HRT should be available to trans kids. it seems I'm increasingly alone in this belief, depressingly, looking at the political situation around the world.

don't we have enough working forests to satisfy demand for lumber? even if we open some BLM land to logging, do we really need to log literally half of it?

I'm fine with automation if we can have fully automated luxury communism!

China is likely to get AI before the US does. Innovation here is slowing down.

Fun fact: the detergent packs are DRM'd, so you can't refill them and you have to buy from the company.

Another fun fact: somebody made a "Bob Rewinder" that lets you reuse existing cartridges and fill them up with extremely cheap dishwashing liquid.

it was a very easy pivot from removing hateful boards to removing Luigi memes and posts critical of Musk, unfortunately. honestly, I think it's because of advertisers. Reddit admins dropped their free speech absolutism when they saw the ad revenue they were missing out on.

unfortunately, advertisers are now starting to feel uncomfortable on platforms with lgbt or "radical left" content. it's why FB and YouTube now allow transphobic hate speech. we're a political liability to them and their ad revenue stream.

it wasn't a slippery slope, the hill changed directions on us.

it's extremely rare to find such a cheap used car. my partner spent $8k on one that lasted a year. also, you might be surprised to learn that driving isn't optional in most of the US - it's literally impossible to live without a car. I live in a suburb. it's several miles of dangerous roads to get to a grocery store. there is no nearby public transit. even large cities like LA were completely designed around cars. zoning and urban planning here completely screwed us.

yes, it sucks, yes I'm aware, yes I'd love to live in a walkable European city with commuter rail and cafes on the street corner, no I don't have a choice.
