Do Hobbits love Arcane or is it too depressing?

Well you're not a multimillion dollar business so that makes sense. 8 dollars for coffee IS ridiculous.

Unless the boss is paying for it

Most personal computers run Linux.

Because most personal computers are phones.

I actually really like Ryan Reynolds, if he's in a movie I'm excited about it. Like Green Lantern.

Misogyny is a religion. Religion isn't just myths and worship, it's also social orders and value systems.

I'm female presenting. I've known people who thought I was a cis woman for months, and I don't keep being nonbinary or trans a secret.

When I read actual cis women's accounts of misogyny, and also trans women's accounts, I can't relate. I don't get shut down the same way. Somehow, despite others perceiving me as female, I kept the tiny part of gender presentation that tells people to sit down and shut up when I'm talking as if I were a man. I don't understand what it is, but I still have it the same as before I transitioned.

I would love to know what it is so I can share it, but I can't tell why people respect me as much as they would respect a man. It's bewildering.

Everything is political. Don't be such a nerd.

Helpful to say the person's name before you ask. "Sarah, what's the resistivity of tungsten?" Then the others will tune out before they even hear the question.

AI chuds are literally just Syndrome

 

Shaun of the Dead actor Nick Frost has disabled comments on a post celebrating his casting in HBO’s Harry Potter series, after fans reacted with upset over his involvement.

HBO announced yesterday (14 April) that the 53-year-old British actor, known for Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, will star as half-giant Rubeus Hagrid in its TV adaptation of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter novels.

While mega fans of Rowling’s wizarding world have praised HBO’s casting team for lining up Frost as Hagrid, others have taken aim at Frost and his fellow future Harry Potter stars over their involvement in a series being executively produced by Rowling.

JK Rowling has repeatedly made her ‘gender-critical’ views on the transgender community clear, while she was recently criticised by asexual campaigners for branding International Asexuality Day “fake oppression” day.

Comments have now been disabled on his celebration post after fans pointed out that he would be working on a Rowling project.

Still, those disappointed in the star’s decision to be involved in Rowling’s work have begun flooding the comment sections on his other posts, with one reading: “You always were an artist I highly admired. Please think again if you want to get involved with that woman, you might lose a lot of fans with that decision.”
