There’s just a lot of anti trans stereotypes in media that I tolerated before. It’s a lot harder to turn a blind eye to it when people use the same misunderstandings to try and tell me I’m sick and confused and bad for just being myself these days

There are so many examples of anti trans sentiment in older comedy. Just about all of them hinging on the “you can always tell” myth and/or highlighting how obviously wrong and confused the poor trans people must be. For someone whose only exposure to trans people was that for a long time, I can’t begin to say how damaging and limiting that was.
You do know that you do it too, right? Even many words being spelled “correctly” and used “logically” have changed in meaningful ways. It might annoy when someone now says “I’m literally dying” after a joke, but once upon a time “incredible” meant “totally lacking credibility” and not “amazing”. Language changes. In French, you negate a verb by saying “not verb step”. Taken literally, it’s the same meaningless gibberish as “could of,” yet it’s good enough for l’Académie Française while “could of” is abhorrent? I get that it’s not how you’d like to communicate, and not how you’d like others to communicate with you, but it also isn’t inherently bad or undesirable, since clearly that is how many people communicate.
So communicate the way you prefer, and make it known that you’d prefer that. But also, don’t tell others they’re wrong for reasons that are, ultimately, just as arbitrary as theirs.
But that is what Randall’s talking about. People who often read and write with text speech and frequent misspellings and such actually score better at spelling and grammar tests. It’s not that they don’t know how to do better, it’s that they’re choosing not to. That’s how their audience communicates, so it’s how they do too.
Relevant xkcd. Sort of makes the opposite case, though.maybe you’re just not the one they want to be communicating with.
Solvent* then. Get them all under one umbrella
Where on the doll did the man page touch you?
The loop would need a step that involves recalculating the goal, in that case, not merely actions
You mean the side project of the guys from A Perfect Circle?
It was a short-lived project to basically rules-lawyer all the common wishes like wishing for wealth, long life, etc so you could still get them even from an uncooperative genie or a monkeys paw.

Ever heard of the open source wish project?
Just tryna start some fires, or…?
That character is almost literally on every thread I read.
Careful. It stares back.
Not without another reason to be talking to her. If she’s charging with you on the bus for a minute, go for it. But if she’s walking past you on the street, keep it to yourself
you’ll have Democratic politicians and appointees falling out windows.
I mean there’s defense, and there’s defenestration.
Pretty sure all of my jobs that I specifically remember the paperwork for involved contacts. Incredibly one-sided contacts that I had no control over, but
Unless it’s in the contract in which case it depends on the contract
