That is not what they’re saying. They are saying that there’s only one reason anyone would need the name and address of trans children and that is to terrorize them. Even if they say they have a different reason (history shows that they don’t) the one only effect that they could and would have is terror.

“Men and their societies”, Jesus Christ, do you even hear yourself? The layers of misandry and hate in this comment are so fucking off the charts that it would take me literal weeks to unwrap it all. “Rape culture”… holy fucking shit, you have some serious phsychosys going on here. Also, talk about rampant misogyny/misandry… I never even once alluded to your sex at all. Your rampant false victimhood is so out of control that you can’t even separate your own hate from what I have actually said.

The fact that you think this is somehow pithy and not just demeaning and dehumanizing is what makes you the problem.
If we swapped the sexes in the scenario, or changed it from men and women to black people and white people, you would be screaming your head off about hate speech and racism. Your extreme narcissism might be the reason you have had such a bad history with men. I suspected that only the worst kind of men are willing to put up with your shit.

- Comment on Gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure above WHO standards – study 1 month ago:
Induction is not perfect. We bought an induction burner that we use in conjunction with our gas stove and ideally I want a range that is half induction, half sealed electric, and has one long gas burner that has grill and griddle options. Induction is much faster and can even be set to hit a specific temperature, but it also power cycles just like standard electric. So, if we need to maintain a constant temp for something like simmering, we’ll start on induction and then move to gas for simmering.
Induction also requires ferromagnetic cookware, so not only is the stove extra expensive, but it requires more expensive cookware.
Induction is also noisier. Not only are there electric fans cooling the electronics, but if your pot is not perfectly centered you may get a hum or buzzing sound from the induction coil.
Induction also draws a stupid amount power while it is in use. Overall it uses that power more efficiently, but it does not play nicely with other appliances on the same circuit. Also, if you have an older house, you need to make sure you wiring, breakers, and circuit box are able to handle an induction range before you run out and buy one. Overall we use the hell out of our induction burner, but we still use the gas burners enough that it doesn’t make sense for us to spend the serious remodeling money we would need to pay to move to an all induction setup. - Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good 2 months ago:
The scrappy competitor had the superior OS, but they never delivered. They insisted on running their OS on their proprietary hardware. They couldn’t stop stepping on their own dicks right up until they needed Microsoft to bail them out. Windows was not the OS we needed, but was the OS we deserved.
- Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good 2 months ago:
The young upstart Microsoft fatally wounded the International Business Machines behemoth and brought us an OS for the common man. Something simplified that could provide a GUI and run on just about any hardware a normal person could afford. And thus everyone lived happily ever after.
The scrappy competitor stepped in with better design and a great deal of care about the customer experience to knock the dominant OS bully off… Whoops, the scrappy competitor stepped on his own dick… And again, and again… And then the scrappy competitor had to be bailed out by the OS bully. And thus everyone lived not un-happily ever after. Until, the people’s hero entered the ring with their open phone OS, a replacement for the Netscape browser but this time with real money backing it, and a moto of righteousness, “Don’t be evil”. Once in the ring they began kicking all the Goliaths in their dicks… Cellular teleco, oppressive OS makers, even home Internet providers. There was no monopoly whose reproductive organs were safe from the swift boots of our savior Google. And thus everyone lived happily ever after.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. - Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 3 months ago:
They are getting more subtle. Ever notice how actors suddenly rise to the top? Posts about how awesome they are, or how great things they have done are? Right before I left Reddit it was awash with Pedro Pascal and how amazing and humble and down to earth he was, then the new mandalorian came out and after a few weeks, no one gave a fuck about our new god.
I remember I first noticed it years ago when there was this sudden craze for Bradley Cooper, and how he spoke French (really broken, highschool level French). And everyone was amazed at it like speaking a second language made him amazing. It felt really weird and condescending how much praise he was getting for being willing to not only speak to these “lowly foreigners” in “their crazy language”, but also to bother to learn it in the first place. And all I could think was “you’re talking about French right? An optional language that’s taught and the vast majority of high schools across the US?” I mean good on him and great job, but wtf? And then suddenly silence… Bradley who? - Comment on Bro went wild 4 months ago:

Not directly harming people doesn’t make you good or innocent. Hiring someone or enabling someone else to do your evil for you is still doing evil. It may be excusable to say that the first time they voted for Trump, it was an accident. They thought he would disrupt Washington but was essentially no worse than the rest of the politicians. After that, they would have to purposefully ignore everything that he has done. At this point they have seen the true face of Trump and they’re still choosing evil.

Yes. I mean often enough that I wouldn’t call it rare.
You are a front-end js/ts devel, aren’t you? That makes sense. I can understand why you would have such a skewed view of programming. When everything you write is disposable and might be scrapped every 2 - 3 years, comments would seem like nonsense and a waste of time.
But that is definitely not everyone’s experience. More than half the code I have written has had a minimum 15 year life expectancy. Comments are essential to remember what I was doing in whatever random language I had to use at a given point. I might not comment on “x++;” but I sure as shit will on “x += (xDelta * yDelta + 31) / 32;” Actually, that’s not true, if the logic is complex enough for the rest of the code chunk, I might just comment on “x++;” to make it clear what x is in this case and why it needs to unconditionally be incremented here. Even if the reason seems ridiculously obvious right now. Because that shit might not be obvious at all in 10 years.

Rare?
Where do you guys work that all you do is write basic AI generatable code?
The only thing I can think is that you are a bunch of freelance devs who never have to maintain anything or add functionality to old code. Either that or you are all new and are just full of theoretical bullshit that you read on the internet. - Comment on Made a giant draining sponge/accessory holder for my kitchen sink. 7 months ago:

I have been searching STLs for ideas and hoping to find something that would offer a good starting place and give me a jump into creating it (I’m still a bit of a 3d cad newb).

Wait until you hit the “feeling shitty and ruining your entire day by sleeping too long” stage. Its a really fucking treat… At some point, you’ll realize you can cheat by getting up and then taking a nap or 2 later (not too long though, they have to be short naps). But then you will slowly enter the next stage which is “I can lose consciousness during the day at any point, and often do involuntarily, but once the clock hits 8pm, I am wide fucking awake and likely to stay that way until 5am.”
- Comment on How to deal with annoying co-worker 8 months ago:
I can’t emphasize how much this is the answer. Document your annoyances, document other peoples complaints, document the times you have tried discussing it it with him, and document how he responded. Document the fuck out of everything, because if you are his supervisor, this is going to blow up in your face no matter what you do and you need to be building yourself a blast shield asap. This guy is obviously very manipulative and portrays himself as the victim. When the shit finally hits the fan, he is going to sling it everywhere, and as your direct report, it’s going to pile in your lap.
When you take it up the chain, you don’t even have to take it up as a complaint. Ask for help and guidance in a situation that you fear is going to go bad. You have a guy who is a really good worker, but you fear his antics are going to run off other employees, or even worse, result in HR complaints. - Comment on Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM 8 months ago:
