When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

I feel guitar effects are also menus - especially if you acquire enough

Grabbing every pre-HRT trans girl who says she won't start unless it turns her into an elven anime character by the shoulders and saying this until a vein pops out of my forehead.

Surtr has a weird dream about meeting a cool future version of herself that makes her feel all sorts of things

Laevatain has a weird dream about meeting a lame past version of herself that can't even keep herself together from a little kissing (and biting)

I feel like every few months there’s some β€œcoding with <new tool x> is amazing!” Video on my feed - I thought the last one was supposed to be so insanely good? I was supposed to be cooked by GPT 3.1 or something and yet I remain unphased

transition is a choice that anyone can make for any reason, and if I do it because of the Latent Transsexual Genes Lurking In My Head and some other bitch does it because she wants to attract lesbian librarians by bending over in a pencil skirt by the periodicals we are both right to choose it

Okay different take - a lot of this vibe coded software is going to become abandonware in a tenth the time than even most short-lived hand-written software

Coupling your skills to something that won’t be maintained by Christmas seems like a dumb idea to me idk

For this kind of (I assume) simple site generation decades ago - they’ll likely treat you better overall

I get the vibe, and I nominally agree with your thought process

But honestly there’s no industry that’s been more keen to make LLMs do their shit work than IC coders (like, percentage-wise)

I wouldn’t feel guilty about not paying some poor developer.

That said, they had easy tools…

It’s drops the next byte, leaving the equals sign, and in that case it probably dropped the leader of a UTF8 character, maybe emoji.

Which thus makes the next 3 bytes not register as UTF8, so it renders the underlying ascii instead. Which is nonsense.

TLDR: don’t use windows

08.02.2026 14:02 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Long story short - this is Windows’ fault

All the = signs are supposed to be part of a line terminator character for old email (=\r\n) when a line overflows 76 characters.

Windows with certain flags will drop the \r, then the email client basically says β€œI can’t render that?”

08.02.2026 14:02 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The Unicode error after the = probably indicates that whatever the lead byte of whatever UTF-8 nonsense was there was dropped instead of the = and now the character doesn’t make sense so it won’t render

08.02.2026 13:56 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The equals signs are just a Windows MIME encoding thing (emails are cursed, and clients are supposed to wrap at 76 characters with a β€œwrap indicator” of =\r\n, but windows will oftentimes drop the \r and then the email client drops the next character instead of the = because it’s all stupid)
