Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.
the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you
This is called a "superloo" and terfs are actively trying to steal this from you, in the UK they changed bathroom regulations to mean new buildings have to prioritise gendered toilets rather than build superloos.
This also upset a lot of architects and designers who like the superloos. They're also typically more like small rooms rather than having doors you can look under.
I have a friend who was strongly against inclusive bathrooms because he felt that “bathroom stalls are already really exposed due to how they’re constructed, so no wonder women don’t want men in the same bathrooms as them” and when I pointed out that we could just… build better bathrooms… with less exposed stalls, he got really quiet and then said “honestly that sounds so much better, but there must be some problem with building them like that, because otherwise wouldn’t we already be doing it?” BESTIE we are. WE ARE. Old-style bathrooms are cheaply made, poorly designed, and all around bad. Haven’t you noticed that men’s restrooms rooms get weirdly sticky? Haven’t you noticed that women’s restrooms end up with giant lines? This is because these rooms are architecturally awful. And we can do better now, because we know more! And we are!!! People are actively designing better bathrooms that address known problems, and guess what: those bathrooms are “inclusive” in the same way that curb-cuts are inclusive. It doesn’t matter if the ramp was built for a wheelchair or a stroller; it doesn’t matter if the bathrooms were designed specifically for gender inclusivity or just because fall-apart-if-you-sneeze-on-them metal stall dividers with giant ass peek gaps suck. We can in fact improve our built environment to better meet our needs. Stop cutting off your nose to spite your face; stop settling for less just because someone else might also enjoy it.
Seattle's SEA-TAC airport has an all gender restroom that's a row of about a dozen fully enclosed separated little rooms that lock, with a shared bank of sinks and it's great. Love it. Lot of very strange encounters at the sinks, feels odd the first few times! But people laugh it off almost instantly. Because it's not actually a big deal to share a sink.

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.
So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.
So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...
I may end up needing to ask for donations at some point. Not only is my partners mom at the hospital, and it has been a lot to stress on my partner and I, and I haven't always been able to get ride from friends and had to use ubers to check on her... I won't be getting paid for being her aide for any time she was admitted which at this point has been almost a full week at this point. We have food in the house at the moment. But given that we live pay check to paycheck it will be rough loosing a week of pay.
It might be worse than that... Not sure yet...
Hey yeah, shes pre-stroke and the doctors are talking about a living will. I'm gonna put this out here now. If she does die, I am not only gonna be dealing with the loss of a loved one, I will be out of work, and potentially out of housing. My gf and I have been trying to save to help move in with her partners but we are nowhere near that goal. Putting this out here now. Survival funds, paying off beds fun, potentially moving funds. I hadn't been asking for help because it felt selfish, that I should have been able to handle it all. But living paycheck to paycheck is scary and having to deal with this is scary. And it's not just me, its my partner who might be losing her mother. who is disabled and tries her best to help with the house but can't do traditional work.

@dr-archeville ITS YOUR NAMESAKE :D
Making his Energon Universe debut!!!!!!
I need to catch up, I am 3 issues behind and it's crazy that I am cause I have the 3 issues in my bin. Thankfully I pick my stuff up frequently but I am playing so much catch up on everything. Now that the ultimate universe is over I will only have transformers to pick up so at least there's that.
Ohhhhhhhh you're in for good stuff
The last three issues have been WILD with some of the plot developments going on
I'm hella curious what kind of role Dr Heri Arkeville, GENIUS OF SCIENCE will play here too
I will be so happy if we get him teaming up with the Decepticons for some unhinged mad science scheming
I know it's not, but I wish that were Dr. Wily.
I'd love a Mega Man/Transformers crossover.
I am here for that crossover :D
Not gonna lie, MAD hyped for Dr. Archeville!
I love that Kirkman wants to bring all these fun weird things from the original cartoon into the canon :D
Issue preview is up! [source]
WHO IS DOCTOR HENRI ARKEVILLE? Optimus’s team must help General Flagg with a new mission that brings them face to face with the man who may have discovered a way for humanity to fight back against Autobot and Decepticon alike.
Doctor Arkeville (voiced by Casey Kasem in the original [1980s] Transformers cartoon) was never given a first name. It was not until the 2009 Transformers: Shattered Glass comic "Eye in the Sky" that we got a hint at his first name, in the form of his SG counterpart, Professor Henri Arkeville. Looks like they're going with that!
(French? French-Canadian? A bit surprised they didn't go the stereotypical "German Mad Scientist" route and name him Heinrich...)
@nitpickrider THERE'S OUR BOY <3
I like that Kurt Busiek will take the time to be like "The sea is gonna attack the land WHAT COOL SEA HEROES ARE THERE"

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Let’s fucking go
This is HUGE.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent

always use qbittorrent, do not use bittorrent or utorrent.
