  • The only reason a trans woman would go to a gynecologist is to raise a stink. No other reason, no “healthcare” reason. I hate people who go out of their way be to a “victim”.

    “There is no recommendation for a trans woman to have regular gynaecological check-ups, unless she has a surgical problem related to the operation, because she doesn’t have a uterus or a cervix,” she added.

    Fucking drama queen.

    Seriously, what’s a gyno supposed to do? The parts they specialize in aren’t there. I can’t imagine being so pathetic that I go out of my way to cause problems for some random doctor.






  • So every credit card is the same as every other credit card? Cool, can I use yours?

    Every drivers license is the same as every other license? I dunno about that, mine has my info on it. I don’t think yours does. These tokens don’t appear to be fungible.

    Every token in monopoly is played by any player? No there’s one token per player and they’re not interchangeable.

    They are Tokens. That are not fungible. These are NFTs. You don’t have to like it, but try to understand it.

    A Token that is unique and different from other tokens is “non-fungible”,

    My drivers license is non-fungible. So is my car title.

    Dollars are fungible. A $10 bill is a $10 bill.

    Cars are not fungible. My car is not the same as your car.

    Non-Fungible Tokens can be physical things. There were nfts long before the the internet and you use tons of them, online and off. You just don’t know.



  • The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

    Oh, so you don’t know what an NFT is. An NFT is a non-fungable token. This is a token that is distinct from other tokens, Some tokens are legally valid, some aren’t. You use NFTs every day.

    This “NFT = Not legally binding JPEG” thing stuck in your head has got to go. It was just a simple PoC that people took nobody but gamblers care for.

    Your credit card is an NFT. Your drivers licence is an NFT. Your car title is an NFT. The car in monopoly is an NFT.

    But being able to transfer and store NFTs on a trustless network is an amazing feat, and testing it with silly stuff like jpegs is the way to go before using it for something important.

    Now imagine your car title is a legally binding NFT. You can prove you own your car, transfer ownership to the new owner, no trip to the DMV needed.

    The supply chain is already using NFTs to prevent forgeries; tokens are created by the manufacturer and sent to the retailers. Retailers verify the tokens and know the real ones didn’t fall off a truck.

    At some point you’ll use an NFT to check if those Air Jordan’s on Craigslist are the real thing (or stolen). But like every other NFT you use you probably won’t even know it.







  • Yeah, for enterprise you aren’t going to roll it out yourself. They’d use a partner company to help you set it up and configure it for their needs to ensure that it can continue to scale and provide monitoring solutions. It’s too much for one person to do that.

    Where are you hosting it? Onsite? Megacorporation’s clod solution? Your cable line? What’s your data recovery plan? 200+ users can generate a lot of data. What’s the security plan? You do know how to harden every aspect of each subsystem, right? What’s the monitoring plan? Not just “is it down” but way more granular for each subsystem. How many tech and phone support people will be on call to help?

    You could probably roll it out in a way that would work, but at that scale you should really be using a pro. Especially for a “friend”. Don’t want a tech problem to kill that friendship.





  • Per the New York Times, 2018

    Their tor doesn’t seem to be paywalled.

    Red counties, which are overwhelmingly Republican, tend to report higher charitable contributions than Democratic-dominated blue counties, according to a new study on giving, although giving in blue counties is often bolstered by a combination of charitable donations and higher taxes.

    Maybe they come out more or less even, I don’t know. But to say conservatives are “me me me” and liberals are “we we we” is just ignorant and doesn’t jive with the facts.

    I a little bit of hope that you’ll read this and change the conservative strawman you have in your head just a little bit. You can’t engage in honest conversation when you do that.

    The problem is that you don’t understand conservative viewpoints. Not that you disagree, that you don’t understand.

    Here’s a short reading list, with liberal authors, about it:

    • “The Moral Roots of Ideology” by Jonathan Haidt and Jesse Graham (2007):

    This study explores the moral foundations theory and suggests that liberals and conservatives tend to prioritize different moral values, leading to divergent political ideologies. Understanding these underlying moral foundations can contribute to a better understanding of political differences.

    • “The Ideological Animal” by John T. Jost, Christopher M. Federico, and Jaime L. Napier (2009)

    This article discusses the psychological underpinnings of political ideology and explores factors that influence individuals’ understanding of opposing viewpoints, such as openness to experience, cognitive flexibility, and exposure to diverse perspectives.

    • “Beyond Ideology: Predicting Political Bias and Attitude Extremity from Personal Need for Structure” by John T. Jost, Jack Glaser, Arie W. Kruglanski, and Frank J. Sulloway (2003):

    This study examines the role of psychological factors, such as the need for structure and certainty, in shaping political bias and the ability to understand opposing views.

    Or just continue to spew hate. Your call, buddy.


  • The hours unavailable:

    Day Time Offline Start Stop
    Monday - Friday 4 hours 1am 5am
    Saturday 6 hours 11pm 5am
    Sunday 8½ hours 11:30pm 8am
    Total 34½ hours/week

    The first one sounds like “scheduled maintenance” gone awry. Like for something that takes 5 minutes to run that you tell your boss will take an hour, who tells his boss it’ll take two hours, boss then says “let’s double that to be safe”.

    I wanna know WHY it is unavailable. Does the system crash if there’s not enough paper in the dot-matrix printer? Are the HTTP responses being filled out manually in real time?
