Yakko didn’t forget Palestine what a goat

im not a marxist-leninist but this is a pretty braindead take

a lot of indigenous cultures have really interesting cultural perspectives on gender. i think id enjoy traveling and connecting with people all over the world and immortalizing their stories in me

It’s gonna be tough being a queer POC but I’d probably just be a sidequest queen and travel the world doing random shit, trying not to stay in the same place for too long and not return until i can reasonably claim to be my own child

Im assuiming doctor who rules where just dont interact with yourself

well then say away from soju because the right brands are basically alcoholic juice. same with the barefoot red moscato.

If you like coffee espresso martinis are dangerously delicioud. the one’s at Mother Hubbard’s are quite good despite being boxed espresso

I love my team and the people I work with; they’re awesome and why I’ve stayed at my current company (and yes my manager and ever his manager are included in this).

I hate that they’re shoving AI down our throats and is the primary reason I will be searching for a new job once I finish my degree.

It’s definitely still worth doing. I landed my current position (started as an intern) because I had significant open source experience and the company was looking to open source one of their internal tools. Maybe that’s just the stars aligning but having a robust portfolio of open source projects and running my own homelab are the reason I am where I am in my career as young as I am.

Speak softly, but carry a big stick.

A 9mm would be preferred at least.

I probably have a lot more interactions with houseless people due to my demographic (queer, genderqueer, poc, smoker) so i often get stopped by someonr asking for a cigarette or mutual aid.

these are all very reasonable takes, although as a smoker i definitely prefer the electric divvy bikes so im not complaining on that last one xD

And i don’t really mean that everyone needs to smoke on the train to have an opinion on the CTA, but its situations like that where you can really talk to people and get to know them. and houseless people are some of the coolest and nicest people if you just give them a chance. it just really pissed me off that the original person i was replying to acted like houseless people staying as safe and warm as they can is a detriment to the CTA. thats some surburban ass shit

it’s perfect because of the crackheads. when the government has failed you at every step, at least you know theres a warm place that’ll take you anywhere in the city that you need to go. it’s a public service that truly serves the entire community as equitably and fairly as it can (not to say that infrastructure investments are distributed equitably though). trains really are the solution for all of humanity’s problems.

if you’ve never smoked a joint at 3 am with houseless people on the L then i don’t particularly care about your opinion on the CTA.

an engineer who has never built a car will do things that makes a mechanic curse.

a mechanic without adequate engineering knowledge (doesn’t have to be formal) will do things that make an engineer sweat.

Yes and no.

Yes becuse our new C-suites are pushing it heavily and my boss (who only cares that we use AI as much as we need to not draw ire) has warned AI usage is a tracked metric that may be used for perfamnce reviews, bonuses, promotions, and raises.

No because I know my immediate chain of command does not fully believe in AI or are skeptics, and when the bubble bursts the price per token is going to slyrocket. Suddenly minimal AI usage as a tracked metric will probably look pretty good.

Either way once I’ve finished up certain things I intend to look for a new job. I love my team but I fear the writing is on the wall, and even if they try to reverse course I’m skeptical that the company will be able to.

Slight correction: the contemporaneous usage of the word lesbian in the queer community does not specifically say it is wlw, but that it is femme/non-masculine attraction to femininity/non-masculinity. In that sense it may be more closely aligned with being sapphic than strictly wlw.

In the Global North it could only happen in America; in thr global south these sorts of atrocities are unfortunately not uncommon specifically because of the Global North. Just because Europeans don’t do it at home doesn’t mean they don’t do it.

As a trans person in the US, i believe they knew as far as they had accepted the idea of revolutionary suicide. Why did I bring up I was trans? because i intend to soon start medically transitioning and I have to question if i want to legally transition as well, and to what degree because the laws in the US are making it increasingly difficult to legally exist as a trans person. Either I repress myself and exist to conform or i live as myself and risk death/rape for that. and even in the former case it is unlikely i exist without scrutiny or repercussion given the fact I’m clearly not quiet about this.

similarly if you are an activist or revolutionary on that level you have to accept that the state is trying to suppress if not kill you; either you repress your own grievances and continue to let exploitation happen unchecked or you fight back and likely pay with your life. But again, anyone willing to consider the latter is still likely to face repercussions even if they choose the former. choosing to exist or operate outside of the hegemonic system of thought will lead to oppression in all forms, and anyone who is pragmatic will understand that being faced with that option typically means you have already gone too far to turn back. You either rebel or capitulate, and being a bootlicker doesn’t mean you live longer it just means you’ll be remembered as a traitor.

Thus i believe MLK, Malcom X, and Fred Hampton all knew they were going to die even if they did everything to prevent that outcome, but I don’t believe they knew they would die when they did though. At least for Fred Hampton he had a son and a wife; while i dont imagine myself having children i cannot fathom that someone with so much empathy could stomach the idea of leaving their child behind if they could prevent it.
