Unironically, this was exactly how the announcement at my old company went. Literally, someone getting paid millions of dollars a year basically saying “Yeah we made this decision on vibes alone”

That’s kind of an insane gift for a first date given how expensive cheese is.

The issue is legitimately that they’re all a bunch of massively racist fucks and were told for over a decade how the world saw us as a laughing stock (because we had a black man as president), despite being ridiculously popular on the world stage, and so they think just by having a rich white asshole suddenly we’re respected again, even though he’s truly the biggest laughing stock ever.

No, but when my company says I’m up for a new work phone, it’s very cathartic when I’m having a bad day and it has an “accident”.

So are you going to share with the class or…?

Sony has OLED TVs now, likely using the exact same panels in the equivalent LG TV. One huge plus of Sony TVs is they run Android and so installing custom patched apps is pretty easy.

I’m certainly not holding my breath, but it wouldn’t be a bad hail-Mary play for them

I thought that’s what his eyes were, and the lens just reflected the energy back into the “energy dimension”?

Honestly, knowing the dire straights the NRA has been in the past 10 years or so, it wouldn’t be a bad time to try and rebrand. Right wingers aren’t nearly as big fans of them anymore after they’ve rolled over on basically every gun rights case that’s come up, so I’m kinda hoping this is an actual attempt at doing something.

Not only that, but it’s wild how much actually caring about your appearance makes a difference. Like, I don’t exactly have a beauty routine or do my makeup, but I do actually put some effort in now and people definitely notice.

Yes, please collect your thigh-highs and preferred Linux distro up at the desk.

The irony is that, even though prosperity gospel is unbelievably shitty, the conflating of wealth = goodness and thus if you’re a good person God will make you wealthy effectively means that if you’re having to ask for money, you’re not a good person

Especially funny because he proposed that bill mere hours before being charged for soliciting a minor. Once again, all the claims they make about trans people are just projections and admissions of guilt.

My company’s policy is that if you’re traveling to other offices, that’s paid time. If I go into the main office, but then midday have to drive 2 hours to one of our labs or something, it makes sense I’d be paid for that, right? Same with commuting during business trips. So, if I have the ability to WFH, how is it any different? I’m having to travel from one office location to another.

Also, a small wet/dry vac!

IASIP is honestly incredible for the trans rep it has though, especially for 20 years ago. It shows Carmen living a happy and fulfilling life as an absolutely gorgeous woman, contrasted against the Gang being miserable and shitty, it’s basically some of the best rep in a sitcom IMO. As is the case with IASIP, the joke isn’t at the expense of the minority, but at the Gang for being pieces of shit. They’re not telling you to laugh with them when they’re like “Omg woman with a penis!”, you’re laughing at them for how incredibly shitty they’re being to this person. I find Lily Simpson’s breakdown pretty great.

Yeah, this is unfortunately something I know a lot of us are having to deal with at the moment.

It’s difficult having media constantly bombard you with the message that not only are you fucked in the head, which gender dysphoria is a mental health issue, but then are told that there’s no solution to it and that you’ll always be trapped in the wrong body so just give up and be miserable like the rest of us.

I’m very well supported in an area that’s very trans friendly and still, those thoughts do creep in from time to time, sadly. It’s very clear this person was not doing well and fell into a deep rabbit hole of self hatred pushed by all these fucking monsters who just can’t stand to see others happier than them, so they have to bring them down to their level.

I failed so hard there were multiple people in my extended friend group who didn’t realize I hadn’t actually started transitioning. Mind you, I hadn’t even admitted to myself that I was trans at that point and was repressing it super hard. Mfers saw me as a woman before I did 🥲

Perchance?
