Occasionally in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, your corporate masters ask you to drill out a landing spot that's completely full of rock when there's a completely empty space half a screen away, and I applaud the designers for so accurately capture the inanity of working for a major corporation.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

I didn't think when I wrote

"Additionally, because oil deposits inevitably run dry, we often rely on extraction efforts happening in other countries which may or may not be friendly.... and [its] cost can change quite dramatically based on supply and demand"

it would be so prescient but, well...

Yes it does count as gay and anyone who says you’re not is an exclusionary prick. But the labels you use for yourself is your choice for what you want to signal to others.

I had accommodations growing up but lost them in 9th grade and never thought of myself as disabled till one of those forums list off 3 things i deal with. I used to think being disabled was people who had it way worse than me but turns out i was just denying myself the support needed to thrive.

TBH, good. Im tired of this country doing stupid evil shit and nothing coming of it. If the only thing Americans will respond to is economic pressures then maybe this will teach them to not vote for fascists.

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Is one pedal driving anything like driving high displacement engine? It felt like the breaks were being slammed on every time i let off on the accelerator.

This is every single trans person's experience to the point where these stories about transing the gay away are farcical and we cannot take them seriously even though there are clearly idiots who believe this myth.

fuck the tax-prep industry's lobbying to keep filing taxes overly complicated

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Stressful moment for every single dev working for Xbox right now. Hope it works out but these moments are tiring and long especially when it’s a change that high up the ladder.

I feel you, its the one thing i miss from working in an office. I have taken to the local game dev meetups to supplement it some but its not quite the same.

Seriously wish we changed the language around unhealthy levels of skinny so much because it made it really hard for me to get back to a healthy weight when everyone referred to my underweight body as β€œlike a supermodel” and once i got into healthy weight ranges people commented so much on it.
