You’ll get called dramatic for saying that but Republicans are absolutely eyeing a form of trans genocide; removing access to treatment and creating as hostile and dangerous an environment possible for trans people. They want us to disappear.

Difference is that crypto is barely even a currency, it’s basically just a vehicle for speculation. Visa is actually useful.

All crypto is essentially designed around competition for who gets to be the one mining it. Things escalate, and that’s how you end up with these ridiculous crypto farms that use as much power as entire cities. No crypto currency is “green”. And UNLIKE cars, lights or banking, crypto serves no purpose, it’s currency that doesn’t get spent, it’s basically just there to fuel speculation for tech bros.

Crypto is a complete waste of energy, it’s not ‘big money spinning Bitcoin as negative’, it’s just objectively idiotic, don’t listen to that comment.

If you haven’t, I recommend watching Dan Olson’s documentary “Line Goes Up” on Youtube.

Billionaires really need to stop stealing their ideas from viral joke tweets.

Had the movie not come out, no one would be excited for this, no one would care how “more faithful” it looks.

At the end of the day this adaptation has no reason to exist, and I have no expectation it’ll be any good.

Hope I’m wrong, of course.

Agreed.

I feel like the solution is pretty simple: if you want to AI copy someone’s voice and put it in your project, you have to hire them and pay them as normal, and they have to give consent to let the AI use their likeness.

Otherwise it’s theft.

I’ve given up personally. I don’t know if it’s life circumstances or me not being as good at heart as I’d hope, but I’ve resigned myself and I’m just trying to learn to cope with the loneliness. At some point it’s fair to call it quits and start being realistic.

That’s just me ranting though, this isn’t directed at you, and I wish you the best of luck.

Oh I know all about that podcast trust me, it doesn’t change my opinion about Rowling in the slightest, and it’s far from being a good way to “understand this affair”.

If you’re genuinely curious, I highly recommend ContraPoint’s video about that very podcast, as well as her other video about Rowling.

Yeah I’m not gonna waste more time trying to change a transphobe’s mind, peace

It’s never been about proving trans and cis folks of the same gender are “identical”, no one is arguing that, obviously there are some physical, biological differences. Differences that trans folks are painfully aware of, and that take a lot of time and effort to mitigate for many them to feel like themselves.

It’s just about being accepted as, being seen, and talked to as the gender of your choosing.

People like Rowling who argue against the existence or the rights of trans folks overwhelmingly do so out of ignorance, fear, or simply malice. It’s not a philosophical question, it’s not up for debate whether trans people “exist”, if you don’t believe in them then you’re just objectively, provably, scientifically wrong.

And if you agree they exist and still want to make their lives miserable, then you’re just an asshole.

Very boring answer but JK Rowling.

Her books already had some questionable shit in them but witnessing that shockingly venomous transphobia really recontextualizes everything. I used to re read the Harry Potter saga every few years, but never again now, this whole, very nostalgic for me franchise is forever ruined now.

Chuggaconroy has been around forever yet he’s only gotten better with time, despite only doing let’s plays.

There’s a lot of great channels though, it depends what you’re looking for.

I knew a Mexican girl who I don’t think considered it fully “mexican” but liked it quite a lot still.

Even free I’m not installing that shit.

Exactly.

I haven’t seen anything of Twitter in a while

They could’ve just said “stop playing our games”, it would’ve been shorter.

I wouldn’t use Twitter even if it was the one paying ME

I’m assuming even there is some on an icy moon of the solar system, since they don’t have an atmosphere we can’t detect it as easily.
