    I cant bring this up unless I really know someone and they want to hear me out and my litmus test for that is they ask the question “then why have I never met a trans person” and its because they kill themselves at 15-17 years old.

    The first trans person I met as an adult was when I was 28ish and I remember having to hold myself back because of the friends I had before who didn’t make it because all the adults had convinced them that they were abominations. The person I met was from the north and they made it and they were happy and I just couldn’t believe that was actually possible.

    Yeah I mean, the US absolutely needs more regulation power over corporations. Ideally we would start with a legal decree “corporations are not people” but it’s been so long I don’t even know if it would help at this point and if it would we’d never get it passed.

    We could do anything we want if we just had better people up top, but we don’t, and we keep voting people in who suck because propaganda.

    So right now the last thing we need is our government taking out companies who support LGBT rights, for example. I don’t trust this current government with the power to take down companies

    This is exactly how I feel too. Nothing is refreshing except for time. It takes me two weeks to recover from working and do a project outside of work. I don’t understand people who can just sign off at 5pm and then continue to put energy towards some other project.

    I take vacations. I get 10 hours of sleep most nights. I eat well. I get decent exercise. Still two weeks.

    I outed one of my best friends at work on accident years and years ago, I lacked social knowledge and I apologized profusely, I didn’t know that him having a boyfriend was a secret. Someone asked if he was single and I confirmed he was not using more information than I should have.

    We’re still friends. He was salty about it for a whole week I think. I’m smarter now.

    My inbox its absolutely filled to the brim with random promotions from my utilities, my hsa, my insurance, all my healthcare providers, my university , statements from accounts I haven’t touched in years, and seemingly something from every single website Ive ever friggin visited I swear.

    I went to a concert last week and Ticketmaster MADE ME give them my phone number and so Ive had a spam call every hour on the hour all day starting yesterday.

    If anyone actually needed to get in touch with me they wouldnt be able to because Im literally ignoring everything.

    <rant> I actually haven’t bothered to look but 4 emails for one purchase is kinda useless to me, I turn notifications off for every single platform because I want to seek out information that I need on my own in my own time instead of being strung along in 5 different directions with live updates from fkn my whole entire background life </rant>

    I use a VPN from Germany and I definitely notice an increase in those popup cookie requests.

    Thing is, sites don't really use cookies any more, the whole thing is just noise on my screen now, so I actually thought about changing my location to somewhere without those laws.

    They did, for years!

    That's what's so crazy to me about all this privacy stuff, I work at an analytics company, we literally make the product that people use to analyze this sort of stuff. You know how people actually use the product we make? They don't. They import their data, set up the feature, make 1 dashboard and then no one ever looks at it. I know this because we find bugs all the time which have been obvious blockers and they get missed for weeks. No one is actually looking at these reports.

    They collect all this data. Make all these reports. Then whoever's supposed to look at the reports doesn't and makes a decision based on vibes.

    Except now the AI makes their decision for them.

    The frontier of culinary vision lmao nah like its chilli you can do whatever you want and it's not wrong, its the first style of dish I learned how to cook besides instant mac and cheese

    I was thinking like, minced chicken, pumpkin? or sweet potato chunks, black beans, pinto beans, maybe peas idk and then cinnimon nuts and raisins. walnuts probably. oh and maybe add some spinach and cook for 5 mins after.

    obv im not the first person to think of cinnimon in chilli https://www.thefreshcooky.com/firecracker-chili/
    but like throw some walnuts in with the onions here, and raisins in when it's almost done, and boom

    one day..
