You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI?

While several media reports have suggested that DOGE has all but fizzled out, it’s far from dead. DOGE affiliates are scattered across the federal government. Meanwhile, the DOGE ethos remains fully in force.
DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now
Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

7) Yet one problem still remains. AI DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK. It takes LONGER and costs MORE to torture what you actually need out of AI at a suitable quality level for a game.
It is FASTER and LESS FAILURE PRONE to use a paid human employee with actual talent.

Every year, I roundup the best Black Friday menswear sales. This year, I've broken the list into two parts because there are so many deals. Today, there are sales on tailored tweed topcoats, the best hoodie, Blundstones, and Uniqlo's HEATTECH (cheap way to keep warm)

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
