@itinerant_sun @KaskaJessica Sure but like, why do you think _you specifically_ have worse dysphoria than some of the trans women you're looking at that got through it?

@CapriYeee @KaskaJessica Because everyone is different, from our bodies to our brains to our expectations for how our bodies ought to be. Trans women don't all have equally intense dysphoria around the same parts of our bodies. You can learn this simply by talking to different people

Your problem isn't passing, it's you being a cunt to others, especially trans women.

sorry but i'm not going to let a non-passing communist from New Zealand tell me that all i need to do to pass is wait for a year on HRT (i've been on HRT for over 3 years)
English
@itinerant_sun @KaskaJessica Why do you think your dysphoria is worse than all those other people's was? I'm not arguing, I'm asking as a rhetorical question what led you to think that.
English
@KaskaJessica the advice isn't really helpful for someone living with very severe dysphoria but it's hard for me to explain that without being monstered and blocked by ppl
English
@vivi_darkness @KaskaJessica I've been trying to transition for 3 years (changed my discord bio)
English
@KaskaJessica Genuinely reeks of (I've been on HRT for 3 years but haven't actually made any effort towards presenting/learning skills/improving myself in ways to help pass and instead screeching on the internet)

@DadaJudith @anshublog @dee_bosa @jaminball Do you not feel that your inability to see the secret sauce should prompt curiosity and investigation on your part rather than a diminished standing for the other person? I wouldn't presume to tell experts in another field they're wrong without doing my homework.
English
If agentic coding progress continues, why wouldn’t swarms of agents be able to build all that? In the end, humans build this today, based on documented knowledge, SSOs, etc. I don’t really get the secret sauce that humans are doing here that couldn’t get represented in logic & code

@ManishEarth There's a bit around 40:00 where Robert spends a full 2 and a half minutes giving a popsci explanation of high-dimensional embeddings, Emily finally has to cut in and try to explain where he's going wrong, and he's just flatly like "no that _is_ true" as if this is new to them.
English
@ManishEarth I think it being a debate is the problem. The framing of the conversation is clearly that it'll be a regular book interview where they're just pitched opportunities to discuss their arguments, but then Robert starts arguing back despite being wildly out of his depth.
English
different situation but I was reminded of a discussion I was having with a friend that got heated, I realized I was being misunderstood and tried to explain that, but it was heavily implied I was so i stopped
later she calms down and came to the same conclusion herself. 🤷♂️

Bender and Hanna (and Gebru) keep doubling down and accusing me of mansplaining as well, so I'll state my simple case for what's happening here: If Bender were presenting the agreed-on expert opinion of her field and Rob were disagreeing, then yes Rob would be mansplaining, but she's actually presenting one of several contentious accounts of meaning, so Rob has a right to ask about how she responds to the others. It's obviously fine to forcefully argue for her contentious side. There's no final agreement about this in linguistics. What it's not fine to do is imply that anyone who wants to know about any of the other interpretations of language must therefore be ignoring what she's saying because she's a woman. This is a very silly way of steamrolling a debate where there are brilliant people on every side. I have not seen either of them actually give a specific example where Rob mansplained here: youtube.com/watch?v=MwfSCC…

@786alhumdulilla @CantEverDie Yup "Silver only up 48% since the start of the year instead of 49%" isn't news.
English
it’s awesome that the entirety of economics is a rugpull now
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
BREAKING: Gold and silver erase -$1.7 trillion of market cap in 90 minutes in one of the largest reversals in history.
English
@CantEverDie Nah this is meaningless engagement bait. It just had a silly jump over Thursday/Friday and then went _some_ of the way back down. These accounts love to zoom in on a graph and pretend it's a big deal.

@the500mphtorto1 @GarethDennis I'm happy to talk but I don't think you're familiar with this topic friend. This isn't a personal theory of mine, journalists were saying it at the time and the tory's were basically just responding "what else are we supposed to do, raising taxes would hurt business".
English
@CapriYeee @GarethDennis Interesting theory but the unbelievable part of this is the conservatives planning finances 28 years in advance.
English
Okay, WASPI women compo - my gut feeling has always been "this isn't a demographic that needs the support, it's not an issue" but what's the real story and is there a good left wing read on it?
ITVPolitics@ITVNewsPolitics
Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden announces the government will reconsider whether to award compensation to Waspi women He said new evidence has emerged as part of the legal proceedings challenging the government's decision
English
@the500mphtorto1 @GarethDennis Those tax cuts were initially funded by north sea oil revenues and that shift to private pensions was a core part of the Conservative's 1992 manifesto right as they collapsed. It's that classic thatcher-era language about "freedom from state reliance" but we know what that means.
English
@CapriYeee @GarethDennis But the reduction in corporation tax massively predates any savings that would have been made by the age equalisation.
English
@GarethDennis So yeah that's /thread basically. We should have just met in the middle with ~63 for both at an older cut-off and kept corporation taxes higher to pay for it.
English
@GarethDennis And so naturally with it being only really upper middle class women that have the time and resources to campaign on the issue at a time when gender equality is still open for debate, a straight forward wealth inequality issue gets sidetracked into an endless culture war debate.
