It is not “pointless nitpicking”. It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.

I argue 3 things:

1. Irrespective the truth value of your claim you should not forward that position as there are forces of oppression who will latch onto any conceit of inherent differences between cis and trans people and claim that is the oh-so-important difference around which they claim the need to organize the oppression they are rabidly looking for excuses for
2. Your claim is not true under the commonly understood nor scientific consensus of what “sex” is
3. Even under your claim—which I consider simplistic and reductive—that sex is mere reproductive capability via sperm or eggs your assertion remains false

although it can be lost

No one “in casual conversation” considers someone “sexless” when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the “sex” of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can’t imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.

Finally I’m not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they’re never gonna let you into the car.

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet

This is wrong.

“Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.

The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.

Do not do that.

A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.

explicitly say they didn’t want to remake it

It was only one of them. The other said she didn’t want to and didn’t.

There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us

There was no “us”. Lilly minded her business.

The meta shit explaining they made the movie cause it was either them or wb

It was only one of them. Her sister rightly chose to stay away from it.

There’s a fourth??!

If you count Animatrix as number 2 I guess.

I didn’t even bother watching the last one.

You didn’t watch Revolutions?

We don’t need any more than the 3+1 animated anthology that exist.

In what ways? I thought blu-rays were just better DVDs. Except DVD players are probably cheaper.

I don’t feel like laying out why but lucky both of us I explained my feelings to somebody else 3 weeks ago:

Blu-ray if I have to but I hate when filmmakers release exclusively to that format because I have to use a downstepper to convert the HDMI output they’re only putting on the damned players these days and at that point just sell me a DVD. The picture quality would be comparable* and superior in the realms of ease of connecting to a computer more easily (you priced external BR drives? yeesh) and ease of watching. How many Blu-Ray players is a person liable to have, the one? Another? I hope you feel like watching it wherever they’re set up. DVD you can throw in a a €9 external drive, any laptop made after 2007 and before you started needing external drives, any of a dozen cheap DVD players you may have haven’t thrown away, a Playstation2, a hacked Wii, that karaoke machine you keep in your kitchen. They made mad portable players as I recall; you could watch your DVD film in a park

Also DVD menus don’t utilize java. Fuck off. Much as I’m wont to point out ain’t no tape ever told me [OPERATION PROHIBITED], no DVD has ever tried to connect to the internet while I watched it. Bad Disc!

Sort answer is DVDs are plenty adequate for every use case I care about while being cheaper and easier to play.

How are this many people buying DVDs?

Because they are better in countless ways than Blu-rays.

I get that as someone who uses ‘Fuzzy Select’ to a certain extent I’m full oh shit here, but I don’t think things which can’t perceive should be putting out art.

I also see no point in "re"storing art to a higher quality or resolution than it originally was. That seems like wasted effort which could have been directed toward a sequel.

restored with AI assistance

Oh… no thank you.

Scan at as a high a DPI as present technology lets you. Don’t have a computer hallucinate new film which was never there. That way lies having AI puppet dead actors for scenes that were never shot.

I’ll still with my Ultra SD Laserdisc copy, thank you.

You do you as we live in a free world.

You don’t know where I live.

The only thing I would be concerned about it if it was illegal to cover your camera

You not concerned about the possibility of someone spying on you? Regardless, treating cameras as eyes is damn good practice.

That’s not the point. The point is “linux” is not reason to inherently trust a system.

Cover your cameras (as a compromise to ripping them out with a soldering iron).

The Fediverse is the Fediverse by not being Meta. You are arguing for destroying the Fediverse for everyone by waving Meta in.

Why do you keep putting my and others’ @ in your messages? If that’s a your instance thing it’s weird.

Why would you give them that extra inch though? Cover your cameras.

that’s not how the perception of the masses works, though.

How can allowing access to everything on something people start out viewing as the defualt make it seem like less of the default?

Only by things existing outside of threads can people realize it it not.

people hate Facebook. Or Meta.

I agree; people rightly hate facebook and meta

I never said that people should use Threads to join the Fediverse. I said that people who already use Threads can be more easily convinced to join this place.

How will you convince them if they can get everything the fediverse offers without leaving Threads?
