This was such a fun one. Shohreh Agdashloo is such a baller

The inclusion of 1976 on an album marked in metadata as 2025 is especially stupid.

Not always a winner for takes, but this quote by C.S Lewis I’ve always found helpful

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. - C.S. Lewis

Not certain this is your issue, but there are multiple different protocols that support Bluetooth audio. The first is A2DP, where the phones audio is sent to a speaker or other device as an audio sink. This is what is mostly used for multimedia. The other that could be the issue is HFP which is the protocol mostly used for headsets with microphones. Its been a long time since I’ve worked on Bluetooth, but I have faint memories of having similar issues when the Hands Free Profile was selected instead of A2DP to manage the connection.

Not disagreeing this guys ‘touch grass’ is not helpful or useful, but it is also very clearly not ad hominem. Ad hominem is a logical fallacy and involves using an arguers characteristics to try and cast doubt on their logical argument. Its a fallacy because even if someone who doesn’t understand what they’re saying gives a logical argument the argument is no less correct for not being understood. Telling someone to touch grass is an imperative statement, and while hostile and rude, does not constitute ad hominem.

I have nothing against e621 and I’m also not really squicked by furry porn or anything.

If I’m remembering right e621 is a fanfiction site, and you do not want to think about what goes behind that grey box

EDIT: I did not remember right. Its a furry community

Ugh lost my first version of this comment so sorry if this is terse.

Asking for one definition of feminism is nonsense. Some words have multiple definitions that is simply the reality of language. You don’t need a unifying definition of landscape that includes both a natural view and the aspect ratio or printing format. Feminism is a school of critical thought, a field of academic study, and a group of different political movements that largely originated in the first.

I think laypeople are confused about feminism in part because they have been misled to be confused about feminism by conservatives, and in part because feminism is a movement that has had multiple generations of thought.

At its core, I would say that feminism is the idea that by examining society through the lens of gendered interactions we can change those interactions to make society a more just and fair place, but definitions of feminism are a matter of academic debate.

Fantasy has a number of good examples of positive masculinity. Tam al’Thor, Thom Merrilin, Loail, and others in Wheel of Time are all good examples, though that series has its own issues with gender (author had little LGBT rep even though he accidentally wrote a great trans allegory, and has stated in interviews he accidentally wrote all the women to be his wife), Storm light Archive has Numuhukumakiaki’aialunamor, Ninth Tomb has Palamedes, and Dungeon Meshi has Senshi

Modern fantasy is kind of spoiled for choice in that regard.

Reject Pop/Girlboss Feminism embrace Gender Liberation!

When copilot was added to my work computer and we got a big email announcement I wanted to see what it would say about some pointed questions about our industry, but in the end I gave up because it failed to even work enough to see what weird shit it would say

The more resistant to clicking ads we get the less each ad is worth to the corporate ad buyer and the more ads the services want to jam in to get their profits.

The part I struggle to understand is why corporate ad buyers are okay with the fraud that the big tech companies seemingly routinely get caught on. Famous example being pivot to video on Facebook where they just cooked the books to sell the concept.

Late stage capitalism is just this meme, but with an executive instead of Jesus, for everything humans do

None for the male to male especially, because there is no way to involve it in a hot system that doesn’t involve having an exposed prong carrying the receptacles voltage. The female to female is still dangerous, but doesn’t inherently expose the circuit to whatever is in the environment.

Sorry but this meme is trans-creator-of-irresponsible-tiktok-challenge erasure. /s

Somewhere along the way someone at YouTube realized if they made ad delivery as complex as possible, their ad customers basically can’t tell if they’re actually doing what they say.
