  • They are trying really hard to get robotic arms and cameras to do our jobs at the factory.

    And it just doesn’t work. The parts are too variable, the robots are too finicky, and a human operator can quickly troubleshoot problems that a robot just completely freezes up on. Human operated machines always outperform, and in the end they add human operators back into their “automated” process to babysit the machine and do quality control on the parts it makes.







  • I was riding my bike without a helmet and was hit by a car, losing several weeks of memory and spending months in recovery.

    I knew I was really lucky. I could have died! And I started thinking a lot about that, about being buried as a man and being remembered as a man and no one knowing there was more going on under the surface. It was all I could think about for a while.

    It was also when I found out I already had boobs, or well, “gynaecomastia”. They never bothered me before so I never went to the doctor about it, and I remained unbothered with my official diagnosis. “I have boobs, so what?” Combined with the “oh shit I could have died” thoughts I started thinking “maybe these aren’t cis thoughts.” Still took, like, six months to actually see anyone about hrt.

    Funny enough, when I first went to the doctor to talk about my gender dysphoria, they at first thought I was going to talk about a breast reduction until I confirmed “no actually I’d like them to be bigger please.” They are, by the way. 😁
