I do not believe LLMs are conscious or remotely have the capacity to be conscious but if it increases social pressure against using them then yes Clippy is alive.

On this front you are way ahead of where I was, took about 2 years before I was in a mental place to tackle doing serious voice training!

In my experience it is always nice to see someone who is “just starting” at trans support groups. They will likely go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome!

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

Portland has The soccer culture in the US and that soccer culture is a trans flag with the three arrows superimposed on it. They can fucking try

I swear, “Portland Metro Chamber” was chosen to in part to invite confusion with it and Oregon Metro, which coincidentally, legit seems like a great, inclusive place to work.

Yeah, many allow trans women who have had testosterone suppressed for a year or two. However this bill is trying to explicitly exclude trans girls from sports, and they accidentally included this loophole.

The irony with the Washington initiative is that it allows a hormone blood test result as ‘verification’, so a trans girl that has started HRT will meet the qualifications and avoid any genital exams. Unsurprisingly, transphobes are bad at science and medicine…

Had the same experience during my first few laser sessions too! Helps that they are absolutely used to having early/pre-transition girls come in, and get to watch the evolution in appearance every 4-6 weeks!

One of the unexpected benefits of transitioning? Running into people I haven't seen in a bit, and watch as they process how I know them, but they don't recognize me at all. Conversely, getting introduced to someone I do know, but don't like, and successfully bolt away before they put it together.

Yeah, the uncertainty when coming out is incredibly tough, but sometimes getting that answer of how they react, even if it is bad, is a big relief. But here’s hoping he does handle the news well! 🤞 He is just beyond the boomers in age, and I swear that alone gives him a better chance.

Have the courage to ask the tough questions. What if the cause is that reading woke modern literature turns you into a woman? For example, I used to think I was a man, read books, now a woman.

Enduringly Quirky Portland, Oregon Is Better Than Ever
After a few rough years, the Rose City is back, and with new places to stay, shop, and, of course, eat, now is the time to go.

Easy to forget how, well, Portland, Portland is living in it until a big fancy publisher uses Tender Loving Empire as a notable benchmark of a “quirky boutique” in town. For tourists, makes sense, it is a quirky boutique version of a Made In Oregon store….
Text from a Conde nest, travel article describing the store, tender, loving, empire as quirky.

Looking through comments on the latest video, and something stands out to me which we need to talk about: Too many people hear "I think you should vote for Democrats in November" and think I went on to say "that's all you'll have to do and everything will be fixed" Y'all gotta cut that shit out.
