No? You're still railing at an enemy that doesn't exist, using them to justify your invalidation of other people's identities. Whether or not some of your opponents would side with this imaginary person is largely irrelevant.

Again, y'all are doing *real* harm to *real* people. "Transtrenders" ain't hurting you, so leave them alone.

I always get those mixed up.

Yes, in the United States, most employees are "at-will" - meaning that either the employer or employee may terminate the employment contract at any time, for any reason (save for discrimination against protected attributes, such as race, religion, etc).

I don't like it either, but that's how the laws of the land are, and the possibly unethical actions of the employer do not mean that Comcast was behaving unethically.

"We could be running at 100fps if it was just graphics, but because of AI, we're still limited to 30 frames per second."

Uh, have you guys tried running the AI calculations less frequently than graphics redraws? You don't have to keep them in sync, you know.

Yeah, if that person actually existed. But they don't, and the fact that you've got to resort to such incredible hyperbole is kind of telling.

You do know that, like, almost every famous "transethnic/transracial" person is quite obviously an anti-SJ troll, as soon as you look into it? Y'all sit around making fake accounts & posts, fall for your own trolls, then post it up proudly "See this is why tumblr is terrible." The demons you're battling *aren't real.*

And yeah, some people actually do identify as "tumblr genders" - demigirl, or agender, or whatever. So what? That's between them and their friends & family - it affects the people in their lives, but not ours! Literally, the only thing that anti-truscum are asking, is "Mind your own business."

Trust me, I'm no fan of Comcast, nor corporations in general - I'm voting socialist this election. But this dude was clearly out of line, and I'd expect a mom&pop store receiving such abuse to do the same.

In the end, it's the employer's "fault" for deciding that his actions were fire-worthy - Comcast just said "hey, look at what your employee is doing."

The submitter says "be careful when you exercise your first amendment rights," which attempts to frame the issue as one of "free speech."

Really, it sounds like the guy called up Comcast, was a total asshole, bad enough that a guy at Comcast told his employer what kind of person they kept employed. Bad enough that his employer would fire him for it, so we can only guess at the content, but I'm willing to bet it was pretty abusive. Those customer service people put up with a whole hell of a lot on a daily basis, so this was probably something above and beyond the normal abuse people hurl at Comcast (justly or unjustly).

You could argue that the employer should have shown the guy the email summary, but that's on the employer's conscience.

Like, I know that Comcast is a terrible company, and it sounds like he was right to be pretty upset with them for the terrible customer service he received. But given that he makes no attempt to explain or defend what he said on those calls, I'm guessing he crossed *way* over the line. If you're a terrible person, maybe you should be fired.

Would you hire a hitman to kill her, then?

Oh, okay, anti-systemd folk are like the gamergaters? Cool, now I don't feel so worried about the systemd migration.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Shrugs. That's how they identify themselves, guess I was misinformed on that point, if truscum.tumblr.com can be believed.

I have gender dysmorphia, binary-identified, have medically transitioned, and I'm not a "die cis scum"mer. Strangely enough, I don't get hate or anyone accusing me of being "truscum." Do you know why? It's because I'm not shitting on other people's identities, and I recognize that there are human beings who are trans who have different experiences than I do.

"Truscum" is only used to denote trans people who are policing *other* trans people's identities. Anyone saying that they're being attacked simply for *being* traditionally binary trans is... misrepresenting, at best. We don't take issue with people having dysmorphia or being binary trans folk - we only take issue with people saying that there's only one correct way to be trans, and everyone else is just pretending.

Oh, thanks; I missed that context.

Could you make a covering for them, that you put on when heavy hail is predicted (or right as it started)? I know hail isn't the most predictable of weather phenomena, though.

Maybe you could get fancy, and have it auto-shielded whenever the sky got dark.

Which, I presume, is why GP specified "procreative sex."

(I agree with you that access to birth control is hugely important.)

Industrial machinery is hecka expensive. Especially if you're working at high volumes, which anyone supplying Apple has to do.

It takes a special kind of racism to imply that honesty and resilience are purely English traits.
