I do this cause these days you're much more likely to get a response from a business if you tweet at em versus putting update #10 in a ticket that no one's looked at for two weeks.

I've always assumed this is because of the visibility of mentions -- potential customers can look at the mentions tab and see if there's a bunch of unanswered complaints, whereas no one but you knows about a weeks-old untouched ticket.

I've had her blocked since her "HRT is the new conversion therapy" take a few years back, so idk what's she said lately. Sure there's no shortage of articles out there detailing her history of bad gender takes if you're really that curious.

Also terf views, yes. (Non-terfs would say your assigned at birth gender only matters in a personal medical sense, e.g, as a woman that needs prostate cancer screening.) I've never engaged with one that was trans, but I guess its possible. I doubt they'd be well received by other trans and nb folx, though.

Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. They're a subset of second-wave "feminists" kicking around from the 70s/80s with a grudge against trans women that spend most of their time trying to exclude them from women's spaces.

She must be really bad at it, then. Everyone's boycotting Hogwarts Legacy now because of her stubborn adherence to her transphobic BS.

She's a TERF and pretty public about it.

My company cut their office expansion plans when the pandemic started, With the growth in headcount since then, there's literally no office for most of us to go back to.

This was my thought, lol. Only actual SMS texts I get are like 2FA and random billing notifications and stuff.

STEM graduate here; that ship has kinda sailed; The CS/CE labor market here is so oversaturated that its basically impossible to ever make enough to pay off your loans. I wish I'd gone into something there was a public sector job presence for, so I could at least get em forgiven someday under PLSF.

What's available is a closer to .01 Gbps up here in Maine, unfortunately. Residential plans cap out at ~15Mbps or so. Lots of places you can't even get 1Mbps.

That'd be nice. Someone should probably let Family Research Council, Friends Cmte on National Legislation, etc to cut their shit out if this is the case XD

But they pay far less as a percentage of their wealth -- what we should actually be talking about.

You're thinking zoomers.

Millenials are the ones using linkedin the way boomers use facebook.

*fit regular AC units in

Huh. That's interesting. I'm in Maine.

The HVAC companies here always say its a supply thing; the actual hardware involved (the coil box thing that goes outside and the one that goes inside, connected by tubing to move coolant around) is rare and hard to come by, so people have to wait for a set to become available. Guess I figured the tech was still pretty new/not yet being manufactured at a scale where demand could be met instantaneously.

I've been on the waitlist for a 3.1 ton system for a couple years since I moved into this house; we've got giant extra-wide windows you can't fit regular windows in, so I have to wedge pieces of plywood in the gap and seal it up every summer. Getting real tired of it lol.

That's wild! I'm in the states and have been trying to get a heat pump for ~2 years. It is _crazy_ hard to get on an installer's waitlist and the wait times stretch as long as 5 years. Installing them yourself isn't really an option because the wiring wouldn't be up to code.

They're very much a new/luxury technology here. I wonder why they're so easy to come by there! Most people here just have the ones that sit in the windows.

That was my first thought as well. The wording makes it seem like this is some new thing that's just being uncovered, when really anyone paying attention at the time figured this out for themselves from Jones' statement...
