I work in tech, and much of what I do is support sales reps within the company by resolving errors with the software they use.

There is one sales rep who, every single time I send her a message or email with extremely specific instructions that will resolve her issue, does something completely different from what I tell her. Every time. Without fail. It is so glaringly obvious that she has never read even a single word that I have written to her.

So one day, she sends me a message that says little more than "(software) is broken, help"

So I do my standard song and dance of asking her what she's trying to accomplish, and what specifically is stopping her from doing that. And eventually, after much unnecessary back and forth, she tells me there's an error message. I ask her to send me a screenshot of the error message. She does.

The error message basically says, "these two required fields are blank. To resolve this, please fill in these two specific fields, and then click save."

So I take a few deep breaths.

Then I lie to her.

I message her back, saying "hey yeah, for some reason it's not loading that screenshot on my end. Could you type out the full text of the error message for me?"

She does.

I ask her if she still needs help.

Client is reporting that Some Thing Program doesn't work. I ask if there's an error message with further information about what's not working. Client says "no". I go over and ask Client to open Some Thing. Client double-clicks on the icon for Some Thing, it starts to boot, an error message dialog flashes up on screen, Client closes error message before I can read it, Thing closes after the error.

"What did that error message say?" I ask.

"What error message?" asks Client.

I tell Client to open the Some Thing again and then not click anything else. Client opens Some Thing, error message appears, Client clicks it away again.

I tell Client to stand up, step away, and give me physical control of the computer. I open Some Thing, start looking at the error message without closing it, and Client says "You should close that." I tell Client that I am reading the error message. Client is apparently accustomed to treating error messages as a kind of spam email that should be deleted as fast as possible, and gets agitated that I'm reading it.

I read the error message. It tells me what the problem is. I fix the problem. Some Thing works now.

Later, I start thinking about how such an error message might perhaps be engineered to be more attention-grabbing and close-resistant as a way of making people read it. It's not important for some random program here, but there are more important systems (medical, etc) where it would be reasonable to demand the user's attention because people's lives depend on paying attention to the error message.

She was a computer programmer / analyst, a... Long Time Ago. Called in for a system she'd installed before, the office folk said they kept having problems where it Didn't Work Right (no error, a malfunction)

She investigated, and told them that could only happen if they did 3 specific things in a specific order, which they should not ever do.

So, she asked, did they ever do that?

No! Of course not, was the answer.

So she made a couple of small changes, packed up and said that should be fine, but they should call her if there were problems.

The next week

She had a call saying "We're getting a strange error message on the system, can you help?"

She said, of course, can they tell her the error?

And the message was:

and for all of yall that are still figuring it out or aren't getting the support you deserve:

[character a] pushes [character b] onto his back, then straddles his prone body

... HOWEVER, when a gay trans man dates a cis man, they immediately drop their whole "women are precious little angels who can do no wrong" act. Suddenly it becomes "You're a predatory homophobic woman forcing gay men to have sex with a female," even though they claim women can't be rapists and the feelings of men don't even matter because they deserve to be hurt for being male. And that's kind of my whole problem with the idea that "TERFs love trans men/TERFs only hate trans women," because when you really analyze it, you notice they just... don't treat us and talk about us the same way they talk about fellow cis perisex women. Everything that applies to "women" doesn't apply to us when they want to villanize and misgender us. They claim that they love us because they feel they have some inherent kinship with us, but when it comes to trans men and cis men, TERFs will always side with cis men no matter what.

And now, mysteriously, those some people who spent years handwringing about ugly t-boys are confused that a lot of trans men are suddenly not all that interested in transitioning. "Are you even trans at all? Why are you clinging to womanhood so hard?!" they cry, also conveniently ignoring the acceptance movements around people who choose not to transition (those are only for trans women, see, not UGLY BIRTHDAY BOYS!) If they aren't transitioning, they must not want to be seen as men. They must want to cling to womanhood so they can keep victimhood status! And that's wrong! They're basically claiming to be more of a woman than trans women!

Introducing a new promotion that will be available to both adults and children at its restaurants nationwide, 24-hour diner chain Denny’s announced this week that free pancakes would be provided to customers who take their fighting outside. “We know our customers love coming to Denny’s to participate in violent late-night brawls, and now those guests will be treated to a complimentary short stack as a thank-you for moving the bloodshed out of the restaurant and into the parking lot,” said company spokesperson Tricia Kim, who added that patrons watching the melee from inside a participating Denny’s location were welcome to bang the windows and yell “Fight! Fight! Fight!” in encouragement.

Like, don't misconstrue me!! Intersex trans women who were born with vulvas &/or ambiguous genitalia are beautiful and wonderful and absolutely deserve to be listened to!!! Their genitalia does not make them any less or more of a trans woman!
