I uh... didn't know that a passport was over $200!
even more when it's expedited.

I was so focused on getting my name and gender changed that I've basically put everything I had into it, and I *still* need the id and birth certificate corrections.

As a gamedev of nearly 30 years, I can absolutely definitively say you do not need AI as a placeholder.

You know what we used as place holders?

Fucking cubes.

Grow the fuck up.

a lot of what messes w/me about things is how they are ok for literally everyone else. cis ppl get hrt all the time. cis kids are regularly prescribed hormone blockers. it's standard practice, but For Trans People there's a debate.

like, it's weird that ppl don't regularly point out the hypocrisy.

Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

this might seem like a weird comparison to bring up, but I wonder if the mass shift in ownership in gaming to Saudi investment firms, and Jared kushner wrt ea, are part of this?

especially in the fighting game community which historically is full of diversity, even at the top player levels.
There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."

It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.

Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

ok. it's def time to take the use of "degenerate" in a joking manner out back.

there's other, more fun words to use than that anyways, so it's not that big of a deal but I wanna at least be far more deliberate about it now.
Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet?

Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions?

Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

I'm learning how to program and I will literally block a channel for mentioning use of any genai/llm bullshit.

if I see genai thumbnails I block.

I have No Respect for any creative that's seriously engaging w/that shit as a baseline, and I know I'm not the only one, so why do that to yourself?
