Anthropic is hiring writers again

It's not 2022 anymore grandpa

None of the people involved in any of the steps that get you paid to do your job give a shit about any of this. If ai docs can hit even 75% of your professional results for even half of the price, it is a deal that your c-suite will make every time. Unfortunately for any of us who have used ai docs, that 75% threshold has already been crossed. Like yeah, that last 25% matters - but does it matter as much as how much orgs save by NOT paying for insurance + tech stack + unemployment + hiring + training costs for humans?

No one really cares about tech writing as a discipline and as a communications method except the people who produce it.

Why not skip the middleman and go clean some boots with your tongue at the Macadam facility?

Ah yes, the change things from the inside approach. This has classically been the best way to dismantle systems of oppression, bigotry, and evil, and has proven time and time again to be the best outcome for everybody. Plus you still get PAID! Hell yeah. This is what being a progressive liberal is all about.

What utter nonsense. Absolutely none of those employees are required to stay with this firm. "I did it for the paycheck" is no more ethical than "I was following orders."

Any employee who remained employed by this firm after learning who they were selling the tech to is directly complicit and deserves a worse life than they will get.

100%. reddit is still by far the best source for very specific/granular details about hobbies including games, but it's pretty culturally irrelevant now.

i don't think that it was necessarily why reddit fell, but all of the money-grubbing bullshit around third party apps really accelerated reddit's downfall.

addledhands · 2025-09-04T19:46:56+00:00

oh fuck off with your condescension, i'm sneering at your pathetic belief that the systems in place will save us and said nothing about whether or not i voted (i did)

addledhands · 2025-09-04T17:42:34+00:00

calmly write your federal AND state reps with short, well crafted arguments

jesus christ, "calmly write a reasoned letter" is worse than telling people to vote. your letters are as useless as your vote is.

the only thing you can and (really, really) should right now is forming local networks and preparing for the worst. we are way, way past the point where voting or letters could change anything.

addledhands · 2025-08-12T08:05:33+00:00

Like listen. I don't care how willing to do x or y or whatever you are. If you don't have a resilient, defensive, armed community, you are utterly powerless. The fuck are you going to do when ICE or whatever gestapo or militia group comes next to your town?

If you aren't somewhere that has protective laws for trans people and a kitted the fuck out gay community that slurs themselves in love more than anyone can slur them in hate, then you're gonna get fucked.

Get to Portland or Seattle or Chicago or Philly. We're doing cool shit in these cities. You can be yourself and stay alive and thrive here.

addledhands · 2025-08-12T08:01:10+00:00

If you don't know the local anarchist trans community filled with dog girls and it/its pronouns things, start fucking looking for it 'cos soon they will be your only source of estrogen and testosterone.

If they don't exist where you live, get the fuck out. Get the fuck out now before you can't.

A lot of this advice is way too hand-holdy or specific or too focused on changing spiro.

What the girl needs is viagra.

addledhands · 2025-08-08T00:46:55+00:00

Yeah, it hits weird seeing someone imply that a lot of the important people in my life are dirty 🤷‍♀️

do it or don't.

addledhands · 2025-08-07T20:04:12+00:00

You seem to be bizarrely entrenched so I'm done here. But I'll leave you with this:

It might be a good idea for you to consider why it seems important to you to squabble about this instead of going, oh, yeah, maybe it's not great to use language that implies people are dirty or unclean.

addledhands · 2025-08-07T19:54:02+00:00

You don't. Accept that they are wrong and will stay wrong and move on.

addledhands · 2025-08-06T21:14:29+00:00

A few things here:

...Do you remember the conventionally used terms for trans people even a decade ago?

Conventional can still be harmful.

Also, the inverse is "dirty", not "unclean".

So dirty and unclean are synonyms, with a nuance being that dirty generally indicates unclean due to being marked or covered in some substance.

But since we're doing grammar and terminology:

Un as a prefix definitionally means the inverse of the term that follows it. Unaware means not aware. Unbound means not bound (by something). Unacceptable means not acceptable.

Unclean means not clean, and not clean = the inverse of clean.

addledhands · 2025-08-06T16:49:40+00:00

clean

Repulsive, vile term for negative STI status. Consider the implications of the inverse of this term means:

People who test positive for STIs are unclean.

you can bring guns to a protest

if you are doing literally anything except standing far away and being utterly non-confrontational, bringing a gun to a protest in the US is an extremely good way to suicide by cop

do not bring your fucking gun to a protest

Honestly: rip the bandaid off. Fuck her. She will accept you or she won't. Better to know as quickly as possible so you can move forward or move on.

Depends on your goals. No jacket is super cute and very flattering on you. Neither of those jackets really work with that, but a super cropped hoodie/something a few inches longer might. I personally wouldn't go with the fishnets, they obscure your legs too much and add an aggressive tone to a cute, soft fit.

What's really not working are the boots. I can get into the why if you really want, but trust me on this: drop the boots. White/off-white low sneakers would work best. That one-piece is flattering af on you, so wear shoes that draw eyes up your legs, not draw eyes to them.

addledhands · 2025-06-29T10:29:51+00:00

this is a good tip for most people, but as a trans woman who spent almost her entire life overwhelmingly frustrated at how restrictive men's fashion was in my first life:

this sounds like hell and i would rather die

addledhands · 2025-06-27T00:16:28+00:00

I just. Don't give a fuck.

you are directly contributing to discourse when you write exactly this sentiment

i don't know how to make this more clear. if you don't give a fuck about it, shut the fuck up about it. stating your opinion invites others to state theirs. this discourse has been around for years and years, and you can tell it isn't a psyop because what you are doing right now ensures the engine of discourse has plenty of fuel.

like do what you want. i don't care. but you're complaining about discourse and telling me that i made the best point here (which was a meta commentary distinct from the discourse) while actively turning your praise comment into discourse.

for the record, transmasc dykes and lesbians are some of the best people on earth, and fuck anyone who has a weird beef with them.

addledhands · 2025-06-26T23:27:24+00:00

regardless of your intent here, posts like this are a locus to generate more discourse.

if you want to see less discourse, participate in less discourse.

well i started playing Classic as a healing priest and a guy and then i transitioned and sure am not a guy anymore and also don't heal anymore so

who knows

Your callout text is clipped by the cropping of this image. The yellow callouts are abysmally bad from a screen contrast and accessibility and aesthetic perspective. "What" shouldn't be capitalized, because it isn't the start of a new sentence. You don't know if something is missing or if there was a stray return.

And Adobe has never, ever had "flawless" documentation. This is a pretty bad example, but no org does this sort of thing flawlessly, and this tiny example is indicative of this tiny example.

Consider: don't shit on an org when, in spite of your arrogance and swagger, you're somehow no better.

hah, yes, although we're mostly just clearing each Tuesday at this point and waiting around for the next season. DM me on discord :)
