We can't have tyranny of the majority, that's why we should give me (numerically a minority) veto powers so I can stop mob rule. By complete coincidence the current arrangement works well for me and I might veto everything that would interfere with that. This is true democracy!

I'll never understand people who tell you you're being happy the wrong way.

Abstractions are great for covering up the details and letting you focus on more important stuff... until they don't work and cover up why they're not working.

I don't know if you deliberately or accidentally missed the point. Sure, things can be made for men, but when everything's made for men that's a problem.

I'm assuming you mean that thing where people can imagine what another person feels?

I have a hypothesis: they do imagine what others feel, but they imagine it wrong. For instance, a transphobe might try to imagine what it's like to be trans, but the closest to that they can get is doing it for shits and giggles or for perverted reasons, so that's what they think it must be like.

Of course, most logical evidence would disprove that, but empathy (feelings) trump facts to some people.

I think the difference is world building. In the stories you listed there's a sense that you're only seeing a tiny fragment of everything notable going on. History is being made by everyone concurrently.

In Avatar, you see everything notable. We don't care what's going on on Earth (they never hint anything), we don't care what's going on outside this one tribe, the only thing happening right now is the conflict on screen.

The people have to exit the portal at the same speed they enter, otherwise they'd have to be squished or something weird.

If 1cm of person enters in 1 second, 1cm of person needs to leave in that second, the only other options are that part of the person disappears or gets compressed to less than 1cm.

Incorrect, the answer is actually 83. -5 points.

I can't understand it, does your friend have a lisp?

I configure my system to suit my needs with bits and pieces provided generously and openly by others, just like I configured my gender.

Me evaluating my sexuality before and after transition:

If the people around you are really that bad, leave that place and lay low. Has your dominance thing actually improved the situation, or has it brought more conflict?

It's shell a program that spawns another running copy of itself, then they both spawn another copy of themselves each, then all 4 spawn another copy, ...

Oh, the glow of its smile...

Kernel live patching, which basically rewires kernel functions at runtime, lets you update the kernel without rebooting. I don't remember how old that is though.

I hear someone's trying to buy the company, it's a big deal!

I'm not sure where you read that in this post, because I don't see it.

By that logic they can do literally anything to a baby, including murder, abuse, and I don't really want to go on.

I noticed that the gender signs are almost reflections across the diagonal, and also transpose.

Are you a sysadmin? Cause I'd like to $ top you.

I frequently end up shirtless and embarrassed in those dreams. Hopefully they stop as I transition further.

I'm also curious if anyone else experiences that.

Trans portation

Maybe you can say it over the phone, text, or a note instead if in person is too daunting.

I'll use the wrong pronouns even, it's just a habit I have to break.
