I would have been happy to keep giving them money too, if they hadn't kept doubling down on shady and abusive practices like tying digital purchases to hardware, forcing online check-ins for offline games, and patent trolling. That doesn't matter one jot, though, since the broad appeal of their products means their audience largely consists of people who don't notice or care about things like that in the slightest. Makes me wonder if that's part of the strategy, but then again, I doubt it's any different for Microsoft or Sony, so maybe it's moot.
Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I'd known about the "lucky 10,000", I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.

Ah, yeah - I failed to provide some missing context: having read that early on is what led me to wonder. I think it also said something about ADHD symptoms potentially decreasing as well if you're lucky, so I've been hoping for that outcome. 😅
Thanks, that helps. ❤️
I've actually been wondering about that ADHD angle, but I really didn't want it to be the case. 😬 It would make sense, though.
I guess there's not much to do but, as you say, take it a day at a time and try not to beat myself up any more than the dysphoria already is. I'm not too concerned about maintaining any particular pace or "deadline" for transitioning, it's just frustrating to not be able to chip away at my sources of dysphoria.
Love this rule. The last thing I need in my life is more impotent negativity.
Oh, I thought that was the Enterprise Service Bus. Anyway, in principle, I agree segregation should be avoided, but it can help if they try to pile us all into a Full Stack.
I always got the sense that they were trying to promote sex positivity but didn't know how.
The memes made me do it.

On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of humor that led to me repressing my gender identity. I feel so conflicted.
