  • It's subtle, but when gender dysphoria is framed as a condition to be "cured" and processed through conversion therapy (to return the person "back to normal"), instead of symptoms which are best treated through gender affirmation and transition.

  • DEFEATING LRAD

  • I wonder if you could make an acoustic version of One of these engineered to deflect LRAD frequencies right back to their source

  • Ask a Capitalist if they believe in competition for their business, especially after it reaches a dominant market position. Free market competition is only a feature in their utopian theory; it never works in practice.

  • In terms of extractive profitability, it has succeeded spectacularly. What a horrible industry

  • AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'

    Jump

  • I believe AWS has a decent degree of autonomy to run itself even though it is a subsidiary of Amazon. Since they're the ones actually designing and building its AI datacenters, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a slightly different outlook as the part of the company that sees how the sausage is made.

    Trans Megathread from December 8th, 2025 to December 14th, 2025

    Jump

  • Did a face reveal in one of my group chats and got sexually harassed by another trans woman. Not sure how to feel about that one, but that person is no longer in the group chat ¯(ツ)/¯

    In completely unrelated news I kind of hate my life due to lack of meaningful interpersonal connections. I've ghosted my family for 3 weeks who have been trying to get in contact with me about visiting for the holidays. I simply don't have the energy but I also get really really depressed when those days roll around and there's literally nothing on the agenda. Kind of my fault sorry to vent but I feel like my life has been keeping everything to myself because I'm mostly reminded about how lackluster my life currently is when I see other people being happy and I don't want to bring the mood down and steal the limelight from people enjoying their lives. The main things going for me are that I pass well enough and am in a relatively stable living arrangement.

    Lots of stuff I need to do but I genuinely haven't been able to find the energy. Really need to schedule another appt with the hrt doc or full send into diy because my t blockers run out in less than a week. (Money's not the issue just the motivation plus the fact it would be a bit awkward. I didn't respond to a request to schedule another expensive appointment 2 months ago to address an issue with an obvious solution and explanation in my dosing vs estrogen serum levels)

    I feel like kind of a mess and I constantly feel like there's no appropriate outlet I can afford to air my difficulties doing basic life maintenance and work towards sustainable solutions. So, oversharing into the megathread it is! Please forgive me for the general air of gloom.

  • What can I say, we love our narratives wherein an Original Sin is absolved through sacrifice. I wonder where that comes from?

  • Tech companies don’t care that students use their AI agents to cheat

  • Tech companies (like most companies) want people reliant on their products, of course they're ok with this

  • Hmm idk maybe I'm being too much of a purist about it but I always considered "slop" in the context of this board to be like, politically illiterate commentary and similar, mostly from libs. It's not a catch-all for non serious content, but a specific thing in my mind. I personally think it has to cause at least some level of psychic damage to qualify as slop.

    I think the memes community is being too much of a purist on what makes a meme, which at its base is just an idea/thought that people are compelled to share with one another. Regardless, if those are the rules they want to enforce over there, fair enough I guess. I think they should point to a different comm for stuff like what you shared here

  • Driving test but you have to catch all the signs of woke you see on the streets. You will be driving this black truck for the test. Bonus points if you call the examiner woke.

  • Yup, let's let the industry monolith that's trying to sell you larger, more expensive vehicles than necessary set rules on what vehicles are legal to sell. Oh, they've effectively banned smaller vehicles? They've also put in place Byzantine rules and approval processes only a large corporation can navigate without going bankrupt? I'm shocked.

  • This poor couple would have to pay tax on a $3.5 million profit selling their mansion. How dystopic!

    Jump

  • My bad, honestly I just put that 3.5m number as a lower bound, as if it's any higher, then the relative percentage is even lower.

    Plus the sale price doesn't necessarily indicate profit, which is typically what's referenced for capital gains tax

  • CW dysphoria around imagined body hair

    Had a dream the other night that I woke up and looked in the mirror only to see a patch of weirdly long hair on one cheekbone and a chest so thick with hair I couldn't see the skin underneath. First thought was "what the fuck now I have to deal with this shit too??" It was not very pleasant -:-
