I mean, mostly, main counterexample is that Manuel_D guy who is spouting debunked TERF talking points, e.g. he thinks the Cass Report hasn't been shredded. I think it helps that there are a LOT of us trans folks in tech to represent here.

I lost interest in psychedelics after transitioning.

I got my pilot's license in the Bay Area and transited SFO's class bravo frequently. The region has one of the world's most complex airspaces (a B, two Cs, and a crap-ton of Ds), and SFO has a mind-boggling amount of traffic for an airport of its size. Based on my lived experience in that airspace, I think ATC did the best they could in a tough position, and I think that Lufthansa asking for special treatment is the asshole move. If they demand ILS in VFR conditions, they should schedule their arrival times to less-busy times.

IDK if y'all know this, but this is 100% due to kiwifarms/keffals. Of course the doxxing and swatting on kiwifarms is not limited to keffals.

It is not "less clear" how this applies to Kiwifarms. Their TOS says they "may" remove content that:

"Is otherwise illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others, including content that discloses sensitive personal information, incites or exploits violence against people or animals, or seeks to defraud the public."

Kiwifarms doxxing and swatting is documented six ways from Sunday, and it's hardly just keffals.

I was working on streaming video in QuickTime at Apple, made approximately the same mistake, and got a nastygram from Van as well.

Now I wish I’d kept it.

It's more that they don't want to be regulated.

Small world. RJ and Dale are friends of mine. I never did get to meet Jay though. I know of Carl through Rebol.
