Why you gotta be so hurtful
"Hey, Jack. Can I just say 'investigate for being transgender'? There's no such thing as 'transvestigate.'"
"That's great, that's why you're here."
(thumbs up)
Honestly, man, I get what you're saying, but also at some point all that stuff just becomes someone else's problem.
This is what people forget about the social contract: It goes both ways, it was an agreement for the benefit of all. The old way was that if you had a problem with someone, you showed up at their house with a bat / with some friends. That wasn't really the way, and so we arrived at this deal where no one had to do that, but then people always start to fuck over other people involved in the system thinking that that "no one will show up at my place with a bat, whatever I do" arrangement is a law of nature. It's not.
Is that really true? I guess I have no reason to doubt it, I just hadn't heard it before.
I feel like at some point it needs to be active response. Phase 1 is a teergrube type of slowness to muck up the crawlers, with warnings in the headers and response body, and then phase 2 is a DDOS in response or maybe just a drone strike and cut out the middleman. Once you've actively evading Anubis, fuckin' game on.
* deny anyone hearings before discharges, as long as someone somewhere alleged that they were transgender or something
The hearings are what determine whether the person is actually transgender or not. It's also horrible to eject transgender people from the military in the first place, but framing it as "all these people are all transgender and we already know that so we don't need a hearing" is its own whole separate class of sinister bullshit.
Way-back-when, long before WFH or any of these modern things the kids are up to nowadays, I did consulting from home, and I found it was actually way better to make a "workplace" for myself. I wound up talking with a startup run by friends of mine and they kindly agreed to let me bring my computer in and set up a desk for myself, just so I would have an "office" that was conceptually separate from the "office" in my bedroom. I got a lot more done in there.
One, it was bringing me anxiety, that I would wake up in the morning and my workplace was right in the room with me. Two, I found I got a lot more done when the workplace was separate. YMMV, but that was what I found.
- It wasn't the Online Safety Act that blocked this. I am sure it along with its accompanying article is still available un-age restricted on the BBC, unblocked by the Online Safety Act. It was Twitter that blocked it.
- It isn't really a "negative" headline about Labour, it's just what the Labour politician said. I think it's more likely that Twitter decided to block it because it was overall a pro-Palestinian article, than that Labour had anything to do with it. As far as I'm aware of Twitter's management's stance on UK politics I would imagine they love shitting on Labour and censoring things about Palestine.
Everybody needs someone to check them. Any time some person just gets to do whatever they want, it starts falling flat or getting corrupted, because people are severely imperfect. Work together though, fill in each other's weaknesses and oversights, and you can do fantastic things.
What else could it possibly be?
I'll take any evidence, hopefully at some point it will be useful at the trial, but there's no possible way that denying food to a civilian population for months at a time can be anything except a strategy to starve them. This isn't like Ireland in the 1800s when they were taking the food away to do something else with it. It's there, and they're just leaving it to rot, undelivered.
There's a reason it's coming back around to the fore, I suspect. Because it's time to play the favorite game of "This left person isn't left enough! Let's attack him!"
I mean yeah Gavin Newsom is kind of a POS. I don't even like the guy, he's not particularly left-wing and I wish the Democrats had more better standard bearers than this guy. But what the fuck, he is fighting against Trump and that's a good thing. Supporting Gavin Newsom for sticking his thumb in Trump's eye is absolutely in no way incompatible with supporting more genuine left-wing people (including supporting replacing Newsom with someone better as soon as that becomes feasible.) Just replacing him with "let's let the bad guys win instead" is fuckin' stupid.
