There have been a couple times I have interacted with someone for a while through email, and then the first time I talk to them on the phone I say in my head "Ohhh, Chau is a girl!"

I don't know if this is the same everwhere, but at my kids high school it seems like more than half of the kids are "trans", "non-binary", or "asexual", and half of the others are some flavor of gay/bi

like, they have a set of friends that are "trans boy" and "trans girl" that are dating, isn't that just a straight couple? Or the two "trans boys" who are dating, why isn't that just a pair of butch lesbians?

Logged on 2023-03-10 07:07:20 PeterL: billymg: as far as I can tell, the pronoun thing has all been cis people. It seems silly with a familiar name like "Karen (she/her)", but it is sometimes mildly helpful for foreign names, like "Xiaofei (he/him)" or whatever

08:45

"cis" is "not trans", kind of like in chemistry we have cis and trans double bonds, I guess it is whether your identification is on the same or opposite gender compared to your biological gender (don't ask me why that is a thing, it doesn't make sense to me either)

08:48

the pink-haired types think people like me (you know, cis white males) are the actual devil, since we are the ones benefitting from the patriarchy that is opressing all the minorities (like women, or "people of color")

08:52

PeterL: right, like i said, cis is the label for the thing that doesn't need a label

08:52

these people use language as a weapon

http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-03-10#1024435 << also, how did you know Chau was a girl? did you ask them? or did you gender them by their voice, you bigot

SVB stock halted after premarket selloff

billymg: yeah, I gender people by voice when I talk to them, I admit I am a bigot

"no really, we could've raised interest rates any time we wanted"

If we all pretend hard enough, there is no reason to admit we have nothing

i noticed yesterday there was a new wave of headlines along the lines of "biden coming for crypto" "30% tax on bitcoin mining" "40% tax on capital gains" -- makes me think they plan to turn the printers back on

billymg: When I click this link, it just loads logs.bitdash.io: http://logs.bitdash.io/ilog/asciilifeform/1114714

awt: yeah, i need to fix that. it's because around the beginning of this year i stopped running bitbot in #a

09:20

billymg: ah ok

09:22

i should maybe just do a nightly import script and eat from logs.nosuchlabs.com/log-raw

09:26

the reason i haven't backfilled yet is because our loggers fell out of sync last november where dulapbot missed some lines that bitbot captured

Logged on 2022-11-29 12:18:27 billymg: asciilifeform: interesting, when i tried to import the missing lines from your logger's raw endpoint i got a complaint about duplicate lines. then i noticed our indices were out of sync, but with bitdash being ahead rather than behind. walking back manually led me to http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-11-09, which i

but i could just delete these 11 lines from vex and import the rest from logs.nosuchlabs.com
