I've always liked them as a set. I think neither of them on their own are as good as the two of them contrasted against each other.

Maybe "Ell's Well Bhat TEnds -Ell"

This isn't me hating on trans folks, but as a word nerd it bothers me that we started using "transgender" with the explanation that gender isn't sex... but mostly because "transexual" had a bad flavour. And by now the term has completely lost its distinction and transgender basically means transexual, but we don't like saying "transexual", which is where things like this meme came from.

The dinosaurs weren't transgender, because they aren't expressing a gender. They're not changing clothes or pronouns, or wearing or not wearing makeup, or going by a name that suits them best. They changed sex. Or maybe they were intersex all along, that's fine too.

Anyway, again, human people who experienced gender dysphoria are lovely, I'm not hating on them, I just wish we were able to keep both terms around to separate the different opinions and desired outcomes for folks.

Kain is deified

For outsiders: Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario, vaguely like a governor I think, and is Conservative. From Toronto, Ottawa is about 3ish hours North East by car, and Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) is about 1hr South West of Toronto. Hamilton is perhaps the next major city after Toronto and is around 30 minutes South (ish) of Toronto. Guelph is a smaller city 30ish minutes North of KW.

This is why these various places were all brought up in relation to a comment about KW. Besides Ottawa, they're all pretty close to each other.

And yes rusty tailpipe sounds about right 😉

I'm not trans, but I'm in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and know a few trans people peripherally, and see more I don't know around town. So at the very least it's safe enough for people to be out and about just casually hanging with friends. We have the University of Waterloo (UW, but not University of Washington), and it has well-regarded math, CS, software engineering programs, at least around here.

Just an option I figured I'd mention.

I love how the paragraph opened with how anyone can upload their own skins, and use simple photo editing and have unlimited creative freedom. But then in the back half of the second paragraph they reveal that their kid has been using the default female character the whole time. So none of that customization stuff anyway, the game said "boy or girl" on boot, they picked "girl", and that's that.

Wait, you guys get relief? All I get is guilt that it wasn't done within a reasonable timeframe or amount of effort in the first place...

Streaming a torrent, in this context, would mean to start downloading a torrent at the first block working your way to the end, and to start watching before the download is complete. It's possible to do.

But steaming in the context you're replying to means to broadcast a signal as it's occuring. Sending the start before the end has even happened yet. As far as I know, there are no torrent-like systems that support uploading things before the file has ended. Torrents in particular need a list of all the blocks of a file, with their checksum for integrity checks, before they can be created, and so definitely can't support streaming upload.

Your needs are pretty basic? Heh, pretty Visual BASIC!?

VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS!?!

We don't know that's what he did, there aren't even timestamps on this. If I text you a joke now, and then don't get anything back, and then I send you a follow-up text saying "I was just joking", and then sometime after that you get back to your phone and see the joke and the follow-up, no one can assume you only texted because of the follow-up.

Maybe you got my first one and said "screw them" and waited for an apology, maybe you didn't get the first one until after the second had been sent and saw them both together and replied to both, or maybe you saw the first and went "heh" but forgot to actually respond to me in the moment, and it wasn't until after the second came through that you went "ah shit, right"

But only the receiver can know which is which.

Anyways! I don't give a shit about Tiger Woods, I just hate miscommunication and assumptions of ill-intent, and I've seen first hand too many times a person who is more connected drawing all sorts of conclusions for what a silence might mean, or how mad someone must be, or reading into a gap that simply isn't there. The receiver just is doing something, they're not on their couch staring at their phone, and the sender is spinning out all sorts of stories to explain how they're being ignored or attacked. It's anxiety.
