management wants this so bad because they hate when developers grow backbones and manage to carve out a good review culture amidst the time crunch

another thing it would help to say out loud: a lot of us understandably have extreme fear about rape early in recovery, and yes it can do extreme damage.

but also, most surgeons have seen a handful of those cases.

god forbid it happens, you won't be the first and your surgeon won't be clueless.

had very similar thoughts before my surgery, that persisted through recovery.

for me, these thoughts started to subside when i was able to start being sexually active again - the process of reintegrating this new organ as a true part of my body dashed fears it was a "vulnerability." it's just Me.

immediate halving of the percentage of modern humans descended from genghis khan because half his busy schedule was spent on ancient tgirls with huge racks instead

there's no archeological evidence that anybody figured out the horse piss thing before modern chemistry, which means you could make an extremely funny edit to all of human history with one well-placed time machine trip

"woman who would be anprim if it wasn't for how much she loves drugs" is a fascinating new type of person to consider

oh no trans people are great in her world because we use drugs and her literal dissertation is on how using drugs is abolitionist

she may be disappointed to learn that HRT doesn't send us on psychedelic explorations of liberatory theory, it just makes our bodies work in the normal boring way

in that article she keeps reposting she claims "textiles were perfected 4000 years ago" which i guess means her idea of perfection is "women are enslaved to make their household's clothes because that's the only way anyone who isn't rich is getting clothed"

"well why are you using the dependency's dev branch" it's huge and gets multiple bugfixes per day, some of which i fucking wrote.

based on the quantity of such fixes, one might assume there are others in the same situation. nahhhh

switching to a fucking path dependency to get your dumb shit to work because you think unmerged PRs are where you store the changes you want in your next release 🙄

if you have a library that needs to change one line of code to repair compatibility with a critical dependency that has a breaking API change on its dev branch, why would you not also. put that repair on your dev branch.

"we won't merge the PR until there's an upstream release" well fuck me i guess

do i look like an idiot who doesn't already know all of that? learn the difference between descriptive and prescriptive statements.

if we automate so much stuff that we run out of jobs that are necessary for society, that's fine. people can go be poets or whatever. or do nothing.

that is a success state, assuming we provide for everyone.

if anyone in this thread is a degrowth moron, it's doctor sustainability up there. you're projecting shit onto me.

producing food energy-efficiently means energy-efficiently feeding everyone.

they are also freed up for more useful labor, but that's secondary; first, everyone deserves to eat.

Regarding binary vs decimal prefixes, and the former's daft similar naming to the (already well established) latter.

A short story with Demerzel and Empire.

Text: "I don’t think it’s acceptable to sidestep environmental concerns in discussions of AI. I think it’s vital to not budge one inch on the requirement that “progress” always be measured first through a sustainability lens, and refuse to have conversations about technological merits until those questions are answered to the satisfaction of those of us who want humanity’s great-grandchildren to survive."

Hey doctor sustainability, what's the environmental impact of doing the same agricultural work with a machine powered by renewable energy vs. hundreds of humans powered by yet more agriculture (who are also increasing demand on the energy/plastic intensive medical system b/c it destroys bodies)

out with mechatronics engineers who come from EE/MechE programs and learn the application field on the job, in with mechatronics engineers trained up from the application field

we're probably still at least 50 years from fully automating most types of farming that aren't already automated, but a research farm where people flex between the real manual labor and debugging the automation to gradually reduce that labor would be great

current farmworkers can be trained to maintain/deploy/adapt these platforms (and should be for labor justice reasons), it's not that hard when there's a contributor community.

"Automating grueling farming work is bad actually."
- statement dreamt up by the utterly reactionary

(The proper response here would btw be working towards open sourcing these farming drones, machines, etc. so they are no longer locked down by corporations like John Deere.)

Of course, that's not universal. It's all individual. E.g. if someone has a muscle group that you can't recuperate (e.g. some kind of permanent injury), then yeah, they try to find the best way to redistribute the forces elsewhere.

Right, which over years/decades can cause issues for both muscle groups. PT is often about finding those weak muscle groups and strengthening them so they can do their usual job, to improve your long term health.

fun fact: the advice to salt pasta water "as salty as the sea" is simultaneously right and wrong.

if you do that literally, it's absolutely inedible.

BUT. if you salt until your human tongue says "same as ocean," it's perfect. because that's where our salt concentration sense caps out.

I love my self image being so intrinsically tied to my high level of broad-spectrum competence that if I ever became significantly more disabled than I currently am I'd probably [have a very nice time]

Very healthy.

I love helping. I love obsessively researching everything I do in a group setting because helping is the only social script that has ever worked for me. I love feeling the need to escape whenever someone sees me being incompetent at something I'm new to that nobody even expects me to be good at.

I love how an hours long good mood can be completely flipped into despair by "visibly not competent at a task for 3 minutes where other people could see me, quit rather than face the indignity of asking for help."

This comes up a lot after bottom surgery obviously ("wtf why do I have to treat my anxiety disorder and go get a physical therapist to pilot me like a muppet to dilate") but there's still lots of benefits to working out that kind of disproportionate tension even if you don't get bottom surgery.

Most trans women don't need kegels!!! We're stressed the heck out all the time and a lot of us carry that stress in our pelvic floor (who could possibly guess why.)

We usually need exercises to relax our pelvic floor and move excessive work it's doing to other muscle groups.

you don't have to remain the maintainer. if it's been open source for years then you'd have experienced contributors you could pass the torch too.
