Me: Why did they change Robotnik to Eggman?
Google: SHAPED LIKE EGG.

Happy Soup Bowl Sunday or something.

@thelexikitty.bsky.social Decided to draw you :) Hope your day's awesome

omg this made my day so much better, thank you <3

Unwise or not, I've been happy and alive for 11 years, which I'm told is better than sad and not alive. There were no justifications for self-preservation if I hadn't transitioned as soon as I could. Life & society is a lot of work; changing my body is a prerequisite to putting up with all of that.

If there's a non-medical way to physically transition I'm all ears, but yea, medical transition was the only way I was gonna justify putting up with all of the other nonsense on this flying rock. I understand caution, but usually its like 6-12mo of gender therapy + a Psy and Dr. signature for HRT.

As a trans kid, who couldn't come out and transition until they were 22 for safety reasons, I got the impression nobody wanted me to self-medicate or carve myself up, so doing it with a medical professional seems like the better option?

It's OK. It won't matter soon. Everything will become Kirby.

Happy birthday!!!

As a visually impaired infrastructure engineer, yes, please

Today's gender is a Kirby Recursion Cascade. Please seek shelter immediately.

"At least two."

Yeah, I never had that feeling of "needing to belong" in that way, but my brain wants to evaluate each person before I trust them and these people want me to interact with all of these other people AND sell crap? noooooo thank you

I think there also might be some unstated value in, like, the social aspect of it? Like "we're one big family (treating each other like a Ponzi scheme), yayyy!" which is terrifying from a distance.

Today's gender is a construction crew breaking into a perfectly choreographed, OSHA-compliant musical number.

i think you’re initiating a ritual

If it doesn’t, it gets three beeps.

god dammit why didn’t I think of this this is AMAZING

Your gender wandered in here by accident, I think.

Today’s gender beeps happily at their friends.

From a cybersecurity standpoint this is kind of hilarious.

Physical is pretty easy to digitize, digitization means easy backups and a RAID setup, RAID lets you keep waterfalling that data for many years, plus offsite backups with the physical media being a third backup. So outside of things like disc rot, physical media satisfies the 3rd backup for me.

Today’s gender is sipping a cold can of Surge, wearing glittery perfume, and rifling through a pack of mermaid-themed temporary tattoos.

I needed some time. Posting here is helping. Sorry.

This.

This! Also can be good to offload as many disk IO operations as possible, like sending Syslog to somewhere else , etc.

Some virtual hosts used to run in a pair of SD cards for compute-only vCenter servers. They’d last for 5-7 years but would dir quietly, which meant they’d reboot into nothingness.

Samsung sells Endurance microSD cards with more write cycles designed for continuous recording and industrial use.

Trans people - remember, you decide what name and pronoun you respond to. If they misgender you, they’re clearly not talking to you.

I will admit these are on the mild side of what I’ve gotten in the past, but I also always advocate all trans people seek out your local Pink Pistols. Some humans are mean for fun, and a tiny portion of them take it way too far.
