• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A real question about trans athletes and records⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The “issue” seems moot to me, personally. Between the facts that no one is transitioning in order get an upper hand in the sports world and that there are plenty of documented incidents of cis women athletes being falsely flagged as trans women due to their high testosterone levels… I just don’t think it really matters. It isn’t like there are record breaking trans women dominating the sports world. This “issue” mostly feels like an overt attack on trans people in general than genuine concern over the alleged purity of sport.

  The people spearheading these attacks on trans people aren’t interested in some nebulous notion of sports integrity, they simply want to further denigrate and attack an already maligned minority. They are concern trolling on a national scale and that I find deplorable and transparent.

  I might be biased here, as I really couldn’t care less about some Olympic notion of athletic purity, the idea itself feels somewhat eugenic adjacent, but I also think the impact of accepting trans women in sports is ultimately very minimal on the sport world, but huge for the progress of trans rights, something that I think is very important, especially in this day and age.

  Funny, but the reality is even darker. There are zero safeguards built into the program for these scenarios so it makes absolutely no correlation between the two topics, something even a self-styled, unlicensed “life coach” would easily do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Era of 'AI Psychosis' is Here. Are You a Possible Victim?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.

  OHHH wait I remember this conversation from Disco, lemme see if I can still do the spiel.

  I think it’s good if it brings more fans to series and in a way I envy the idea of them wanting more Star Trek and finding out about TNG, DS9 and VOY.

  Anecdotal evidence for sure, but of the like dozen people I knew watching this show who recommended it, not one has stuck on because it often sexualizes children.

  While I agree with you that it should be an option to turn it off, who is telling you that you need to send a full message if someone sees you were typing?

  We’re the ones making the rules for this world full of technologies and we create the social rules for them daily with our own actions. Fuck that expectation, I’m sure other people can surmise what happened even if they noticed you were typing for just a second, they’re working with the same limited software.

  I cannot fathom why you would want to date someone you don’t want as a friend unless you’re just horny about them and misdirecting that into romance.

  Here’s vouching for shapez 2 and their dev team clearly having a phenomenal handle on what makes a factory game fun. They’ve distilled it to its essence while keeping things casual and relaxed. There’s no resource limits or biters to worry about, just build the factory using their intuitive UI and blueprint system and have fun at your own pace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I replace honey with maple syrup?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could, or add in some sugar. My experience with this kind of substitution is mostly in baking where volumes and ratios are far more important. In this application, it’s a little more loosey goosey, so I’d say try a 1:1 swap and if it’s not sweet enough, use more next time or toss a lil sugar on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I replace honey with maple syrup?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer, yes. Long answer, honey contains less liquid than maple syrup while being sweeter. This matters far more when baking than anything else so you should be fine in coating the granola with maple syrup instead of honey. That said, since it’s more liquid than honey, you may have to add something to stabilize it like a pinch of starch, though I’m not sure that’s truly necessary in this application.

  I can’t help with your art, but I’m curious about the connection between the t shot and menstrual cycles. Bf has been getting closer and closer to mustering the courage to figure out how to get on T, so I’m curious to hear some of the side effects people have.
