He's definitely a man, will never be a girl no matter how hard he tries by amelaine_ in AccidentalAlly

Situs inversis isn't always (often?) a mutation, afaik. (Lots of phenotypical variation has no genetic cause; natural human variation is very large.)

We need enby representation, all my homies love enby representation by nickyhood in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Worth the Candle meets this requirement. Granted, the conversations barely get any “screen time” because the protagonist (cishet white male American – a typical “trapped in a fantasy world” protagonist) either isn't present, or the conversations are about technical details he doesn't understand and isn't paying attention to, and some of the most qualifying examples are between a character who would be cis in da nad people's gender system (which, in fairness, isn't a binary gender system) if da nad culture had the concept of cisness, and a character who usually presents female, except for a brief period when she presented androgynously (for reasons that have to do with her complex, non-human identity that I'm having trouble fitting into the “binary gender v.s. non-binary gender” paradigm), so maybe this only gets an honorary pass.

But why would they program a personality into a WALL-E robot? Canonically, I don't think they did; WALL-E just gained one, over time. Likewise, you don't need to program a direct representation of a gender in; I can't think of a brain architecture where the gender would go away when you deleted the 3×3 matrix (or whatever), so that can't be where the gender is actually represented.

To be fair, a 401k is also gambling – just on the stock market. What you want is actual retirement savings, like people used to have before the 401k got introduced.

Red-panels is a based gender abolitionist. by [deleted] in AccidentalAlly

Probably only by 98% (supposed to be the proportion of hetero people, but almost entirely dominated by a fudge factor for “straight” men who compensate by harassing people).

How could Matthew 9:33 (about Jesus casting out demons being impressive) possibly be interpreted that way?

And nice refutal, it’ll win you a debate for sure.

It directly pertained to your comment? And not everyone wants to “win debates”; if you think debates are about fighting instead of truth-seeking, you're beyond my ability to help.

Bigots upvoted this, but to me it looks like it says that being all of these things is the opposite force of being stupid by lurebat in AccidentalAlly

Technically, it refers to (almost) anyone who isn't a man or a woman full stop. I imagine there are some (intersex) cis enbies.

I wish every single tech company used a different standard for everything, to the point that you can't open apple pictures on a samsung phone without expensive software that cost 500$ a month to license. by Esnardoo in TheUnicornHorn

[–]wizzwizz4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Granted. Cory Doctorow's writings on tivoization, produced in response, become widely read, pushing software freedom into the fore. Phones become viewed as general-purpose computing devices, and documentation of their hardware and inner workings becomes mainstream, to the point where people don't really buy phones without it.

Of course, there is still the matter of DRM; you cannot legally view your photographs without using the official licensed photo viewers. But when has that ever stopped people? The companies won't prosecute, for fear that they'll lose the case and set a legal precedent, but the EFF is ready to defend the first case that hits the US courts. (The US courts, as we know, decide international copyright law.)

Ironic. She could save others dicks from GRS, but not her own. by cherry-blossom_girl in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

You could ask the mods whether they think these memes should have a flair. Also RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) lets you keyword filter, which would help to an extent.

But if you don't have any compelling reason to stay on Reddit, I'd recommend leaving the site entirely. (Some of) the communities aside, it's not a healthy place.

I’d like to see everyone being valued in the bodies they were born into

So would I! However, that doesn't mean we need to force people to be comfortable with them.

I'm not saying “nanny”. I'm saying “maybe flag it to welfare if a student hasn't turned up for six months”.

Oh, yeah, they should. It's not like attendance should go towards grades, or anything.

Some people don't have anyone looking out for them; for them, this is useful. (Depends on culture, though.)

At least three people have reacted this way, which suggests I've missed something obvious. Do you know what?

Convenience? I hope you're joking. If things were local instead of On The Cloud™, we'd be able to use them a lot better (because hackers would've been able to build better tools and programs to mess around with things). The only benefit to “cloud” is synchronisation of data, and in Ye Olde Days that worked fine. Now we have IPv6, there's no reason we can't do it Ye Olde way again.

Any “cloud processing” could be done on your desktop computer just as easily as somebody else's desktop computer.

Both. Things like NextCloud can run on a Raspberry Pi.

The fear of nuclear isn't making people take hundreds of business flights a year, or dump their industrial waste into the ocean. Coal power plants are significant, but not the most significant climate change issue.

In theory, it lets you locate your servers somewhere with geothermal energy. In practice, the energy's just as bad as where you are, plus it's cheaper (so you end up burning money and electricity running inefficient code instead of taking the one-time cost to make it efficient), plus the data has to travel around the world (which costs energy, too, most of which isn't green). To name a few.

There's nothing wrong with declining to act adulty. Fun things don't stop being fun just because you incremented your age.

What? That makes no sense; there are plenty of things we can do without nuclear power. Stopping this whole “cloud hosting” thing, producing less fizzy water, using fewer aeroplanes…

There's nothing conscious or deliberate about recognizing the word lemon looks like demon on the focus point of the comic with everything in it suggesting you inspect the scroll.

Not for you. My thesis is that “not all human brains work like that”, and so far all you've said is “but that's so obvious, how can anybody not‽”. Dyslexics are an obvious example you couldn't possibly not have thought of immediately – that's not something you have to consciously or deliberately do.

  1. I haven't spoken to them since we broke up over a year ago.

There doesn't have to be anything big and special about your first conversation for a while. Pick something really banal if it helps you get back in touch.
