HELL YEAH!!! I’m so goddamn happy for you!!!
egg_irl was a big part of it for me too, it’s an awesome place

That’s sort of my experience, but I’ll also add that if you don’t know that being trans is a thing then it’s possible to just not recognise what it is or that you can do something about it.
- Comment on How to know you'll turn out trans? 13 hours ago:
The real sign of being trans is if you go to egg_irl and start relating to almost everything lol (sorry I haven’t got a clue how to link communities).
Tbh there’s no magic bullet to be sure, but if you fantasize about being a different gender that’s a pretty big one, cis people don’t do that.

Pretty sure my inability to use a chair correctly is what makes me bi, thinking everyone is hot is just a side effect
- Comment on How to know you'll turn out trans? 13 hours ago:
I am trans and I can say I’ve never felt like I was in the wrong body, I think most of the time that’s just a relatively flawed way to describe an experience that can’t truely be understood unless you’ve experienced it.
Of course, no one has the same experience with these things. For me it’s mostly just been that something felt like it was missing, and I fixed that when I began to transition. The main thing for me was how much happier the internal changes made me, estrogen changes how you experience emotions and being out to my family had a similar effect.
When it comes to “signs” the biggest was just being envious of people who had the freedom to express differently than me. I can confirm that it’s a gradual realisation, though honestly most of that was overcoming shame and internalised transphobia.

- Comment on My thoughts on the Australia Day date 5 months ago:
A nation built on blood and genocide, wars fought with Aboriginal soldiers who came home to no thanks to be treated like dirt.
I won’t have pride in a country that won’t face its own racism, I won’t have pride in a country that won’t face it’s unjustifiable founding.
Always was, always will be aboriginal land.
- Comment on My thoughts on the Australia Day date 5 months ago:
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should keep Australia day while there’s still so much injustice for the first nations people.
We can have it back when we’ve actually built something worth celebrating.
But again, maybe that’s just me.

As someone who has absolutely no desire to ever own or drive a car, I’m getting my licence based purely on the off chance that I might need to anyway (but I’d probably just hire for a day).

Yeah true, I guess if you can enforce that as a standard there’s already tons of research on swarming behaviour with drones to work with.

Please?

Aren’t other flying cars going to be the dynamic part of the environment? Is what I’m asking

Imagine having to work out self driving in 3D traffic though. I guess at least you won’t have pedestrians, mostly.

I don’t use it, but I know companies checkout my profile whenever I apply so I made my profile look really good, added a ton of skills and completely a bunch of the certification test things.
Up until recently when jobs in my industry dried up, I would get recruiters contacting me weekly at a minimum. I’ve never actually used it as a social media platform, and I don’t understand why people do tbh.

Relatively literally means that the difference between when and where depends on your reference frame.

Oh cool. Yeah that’s quite different from anything vacuum wars ever tested out. Thanks!
- Comment on How to keep carpet clean? 5 months ago:
Interesting, which commercial machines are you referring to?
I did a little research when I bought mine, I think mostly vacuum wars testing, and I think they found similar results, with the commercial systems just having larger tanks. That said, I don’t expect their tests are super scientific or anything so I’m legitimately curious.
My carpets aren’t thick at all though, and most of what I’m cleaning is exclusively surface level anyway.

If you have messy pets, you can buy the machines for pretty reasonable prices. I’ve got one for my parrot, and my carpets are in great condition.

Stop lying, Saudia Arabia has no plans to reduce oil production.
- Comment on A solar city in the Saudi Arabian desert is powered by the world's biggest battery 5 months ago:
Saudi Arabia is the third largest oil producer on the planet, though often they are second. So no, they’re CO2 production is not negligible, they just export it, and that’s worse IMO
- Comment on Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal 5 months ago:
Ah I understand.
I’m not talking about that either, and I’m not against automating jobs. I’m more talking about preventing unecessary harm, I don’t really want to say who I work for but our company will shutdown entire storefronts and just lie about why. The union works to ensure this sort of thing doesn’t happen unfairly, and that people have access to the legal support they need when it does, among other things.
The reality is that they aren’t working bullshit jobs, and we don’t automate everything they do. Even the things we do automate require their constant help to support, but the business doesn’t care and will just fire them because they see some vague report suggesting they can.
Creating jobs is much harder, of course, but there are things we can and should do to make sure transitioning people out of those jobs is as painless as possible. I’m honestly of the opinion that we shouldn’t have to have jobs to survive, and that pushing for good social support is a necessary part of increasing automation.
- Comment on Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal 5 months ago:
Is it our responsibility to help people? I think it is if we’re helping to hurt them. While we can technically throw the blame up the corporate chain, I think we need to have personal responsibility for our actions, I understand that you, as I do, likely rely on your job to exist, but we can still push for the least harm possible.
If you advocate up said chain on behalf of others, then that is good too.
I’m aware of what this technology can do, I actively use some to help with my work. But I make sure it’s as ethical as it can be.
And AI art is not really all that useful. Just because you can automate art doesn’t mean it’s a waste. I think that’s a dreadfully bleak view.
Helping funding research is great and all, but maybe they should pay all the people they’re stealing from? Or at the very least get consent.
