  • Can it just be a light hit? Like the kind where you have no choice but to take time to recover, everyone wants to take care of you while you do, and there is no permanent damage (or hospital bill magically). Just a nice vacation from life where you aren’t expected to do anything but rest and everyone supports you doing so.




  • So I’m not sure where you got the idea that you need to get an erection every day to maintain function, but that seems like a lot to me. From what I’ve heard you really only need one or two good ones a week, and that certainly seems to be working for me. I take tadalafil 5 mg per day to make it easier to get and keep an erection and I can just not take it on days I know I don’t want to get an erection. It makes it very easy for me to get an erection with just a little arousal. Not saying you need to maintain but there are options that make it very manageable. You will want to maintain if you plan to get penile inversion so you get the depth you want.

    The nice thing about bottom surgery is that it doesn’t explicitly require you to choose penis or vagina, you can have both. It’s called phallus preserving vaginoplasty, and at this point I feel pretty strongly it’s what I want. I want to be able to bottom as a woman, but I also really like topping and my penis is really good for that. At least for me I’ve found the dysphoria I get about using my penis goes away when I see it as an option at my disposal as a woman rather than the only way I can have sex like I felt when I thought I was a man.







  • Does anyone really care about that though? Some of the most popular games released in the past few years don’t have AAA graphics or even close. Honestly most games with crazy graphics it detracts from the game because the gameplay ends up being so fucking bad. People play games for the playing games part. As far as I can tell the only people who give a shit about amazing graphics are chuds or dipshit MBAs or both, and no one should really care what they think.




  • Fucking dipshit MBAs pull that in every industry. My previous job they treated people like machinery that could be moved around, thrown away, hired, and replaced like nothing. They did this to specialized engineers with years of experience on our specific project. Layoffs, moving people to work they didn’t sign up for with no plan for moving them back, doing nothing to address ongoing attrition of the best engineers, not hiring new people, attempting to lowball new engineers when they finally did hire, nonsensical schedules based on hopes and dreams, the list goes on. I was the only person on my team when I left, a team the project literally couldn’t be completed without, and I took the last of the institutional knowledge with me. The c-suite probably don’t even realize how big a hole I left because my work wasn’t sexy or flashy, just making things actually fucking work. I hate to say it because one of my best friends still works there but I hope they fucking fail.


  • I mean throwing bodies at a problem rately makes things faster, and it definitely makes them more expensive. It’s incredibly shortsighted and naive to think things are like this now because they have to be. C-suite cunts do far more damage than just being useless parasites. They usually end up making developers work materially worse through their draconian self serving policies, insane schedule pressure, and firing most of the team after the game is released. They are so good at destroying their workers productivity and creativity with their stupid policies you would think it was their job or something. Somewhere along the line the capitalists forgot that most of the value in any business is institutional knowledge, and proceded to do their best to destroy it at every opportunity.

    I agree the stance is invalidating and wrong. That said highly technical jobs strongly favor neurodiverse people. I know my last job (engineer at aerospace company) had a very high percentage of neurodivergent engineers, like probably over 90% from what I could tell, including myself. Not in a subtle way either, like most of them had diagnoses already and the rest showed so many signs I don’t doubt an expert would diagnose them pretty quickly. I doubt that’s what he meant but you probably really are surrounded by neurodivergent people at work (even if they don’t know they are).

    ADHD is not a reason not to put in effort. I have ADHD and I put in so fucking much effort all the time, just to do normal stuff. No one let’s us off the hook for shit just because we have ADHD. The best we get are meds that aren’t addictive to us and help a lot, but we’re treated like drug addicts or dealers for wanting, and have barriers put in the way of getting them that only really hurt people with ADHD. There’s no real benefit to being diagnosed incorrectly, so this take just pisses me off and looks like more ignorant pearl clutching.
