Given the singer claims they just wrote the song to show off their vocal range, I'm not entirely sure a cis person (or a dense egg) would assume its a coming out thing?

Ime people can vary quite a lot in terms of taking hints. Some might notice from small presentation changes while others you can make some pretty obvious hints on multiple occasions and still get nothing.

My mom. Every time she tries to be transphobic, she can't help saying something like "I want to take T" or "I'd want to transition the other way" or complaining about things like women's fat distribution and ends up accidentally being more affirming than she'd be if she was trying to be artificially supportive. Also, I'm not exaggerating those quotes for comedic effect.

Perhaps the same could be said of all human! /hj

Wild that they are paying so much money to be the test subjects rather than companies just doing it for "free" as they do for a everyone else.

I felt like that too. I thought I felt comfortable with my body (minus unrelated medical issues and being overweight). A lot of trings trans people cared about seemed foreign to me. Turns out I'm far more content with my body with HRT and being my current weight (obese) than I was when I was 30lbs lighter (borderline healthy/overweight). But I never really had a point of comparison since I had always been stuck with my body - I just assumed my feelings were normal and blamed any negative feelings on objectively factual problems with my body. I've come to realize I'm actually really bad at recognizing and understanding my emotions in general. Also, being trans need not be defined by suffering. It can be defined by what bring peace or happiness.

As for what that makes you, only you can figure that out. My experiences are only my own. And trying to make a guess on this based on this comment would be like trying to diagnose someone with ADHD because they said they sometimes forget where they put their keys.

Its still annoying when software won't let you zoom in so you only see like 12 pixels

I sorta feel like there was a significant dropoff after the first generation that included ddr4 and pcie4 unless you specifically except for GPUs if you specifically used the RTX features in terms of real-world performance* in the higher end consumer desktop side. I rarely had issue with my i7-4790k setup and it was a ddr3/pcie3/limited nvme support generation. Only replaced it last year because the mobo died.

*Based entirely on my own use cases.

How you don't even need to be old. You can just do that with current events with videos from multiple angles!

I meant if they were obtainable and programmable in who they targeted, US cops would be far more likely to be able to afford to do that at a meaningful scale.

Seems far more likely that police use those to punch anyone with a skin tone darker than some threshold and then maybe apologize only when really tan white people get attacked.

That's true of all names. Names are still a form of identification. But it doesn't authenticate that you are a specific person.

Unfortunately with how sexism is, some people can still surprisingly think that comparing you to a woman is an insult and that comparing you to a man is more of a complement?

I get that cis people sometimes get the "this person seemed like they could have been you if you were a man/woman or could have been your twin" and it's not intended as an insult. But it's simply not appropriate to tell trans people such, especially without such explicit qualifiers.
