I’m increasingly of the opinion it never turned against us - it was built that way from the beginning

Yeah, it would (probably) be better

I have been told lawyers have to do this to defend their clients but I fucking hate it

Something similar happened to me: unanimous support until the highest level (just below the president). I’m glad now I’m no longer there but it was rough

Not the point but omg there is a real last name Gillion? (People keep spelling my name that way and I always thought it was odd, as it isn’t a name I’d seen before)

Verse is new (to me), and confusing. That has a different meaning!

I don’t mind that as much. It also happens in the US (not sure about Canada - should ask my law friends here)

Is it just me or do Americans pronounce β€œversus” as β€œverse” now? I keep hearing it from podcasters, including lawyers

If measles or whatever didn’t kill me, stepping on a rusty nail as a teen surely would have

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

I can’t help but wonder if viscosity plays a role (I’m overthinking this aren’t I)

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Yeah I was annoyed by that. I don’t exactly want to defend him, but these words were hella out of context

Language isn’t statistics, which is why they’ll never fix this

We’re noticing in Canada. Doesn’t help hide it when Alberta separatists are hanging out with Trump et al
