I once had three students in one class who were all named José. For the purpose of avoiding confusion, I asked if it would be alright if I called them Hose-A, Hose-B, and Hose-C and they all loved the idea.

This is a true story. The day they were all absent and I got to ask the class “Where my Hoses at?” was a red letter day in my life.

“Please don’t tell anyone…I’m not ready to come out yet.”

“I got you, girl.”

Awesome. Not having an issue with Lifelock or the fact that they let me know this. The issue is with a pharmacy needing to verify my identity so that I can get my acid reflux meds.

Sorry, my human, but naw…this has never been necessary in the history of humanity. Kroger doesn’t need to make sure I’m me. The doctor says fill the scrip, you fill it.

Downvote me all you want.

Oh, don’t you worry your sweet little head, we will.

I voted for Oregon Measure 117 which will institute Ranked Choice Voting statewide in all elections.

Such a hard-ass line. Went out like a fucking boss.

When I was 18, I was slinging tapes as a Blockbuster assistant manager, and my go-to recommendation for customers was Strange Days. Then at age 40, I finally realized I was trans, and somewhere down the line it occurred to me that my love of this film should have been a clue.

Do you do that? I don’t do that.

Vs.

You do that? I don’t that.

Number 1 wins.

To combat Chinese gold farmers, Blizzard started selling gold in a bit of a roundabout way. For $20, you can buy a WoW token to sell on the auction house. This token can be purchased by a player and traded for 1 month of game time. Some players dont pay a dime to play - gold is not hard to acquire.

Eve Online has been doing that since 2008.

Good. Fuck Apple.

I am sick right now and can’t be arsed to look up the study I saw, but I am pretty sure it was American trans people who transitioned who were tracked. From what I remember, like 5% detransitioned, but when they dug into their reasons, the vast majority of them did so for reasons other than regret at having done so. Their reasons were social, financial, etc. Only half a percent came back and said they weren’t trans. One in 200.

In Oregon, Measure 117 on the ballot this year will institute RA ked choice voting statewide. Portland already has it for the 2024 municipal elections, and it’ll go into effect countrywide for Multnomah County elections in 2026. Very exciting stuff!

I think that’s what the college kids were playing with when I was in high school.

Started college in 1995, and I indeed did have ICQ before too long. Still remember my number (6725571).

You probably had all three installed on your computer and probably all running at once.

I remember using a program called Trillian (which is still around!) in the late 90s/early 00s. It allowed you to connect multiple IM accounts in one app. It was sorta finicky, but it got the job done.

It’s all of them, but burnout is the biggest reason. Even if school districts had the funding to pay massive stipends for SPED teachers, they’d still be short staffed.

“Dr.” Bubs is in Quadrant III. He’s the most quackinest.
