  • The term "sissy" in this context is mostly used as a fetish descriptor, generally carrying with it the connotation that men "get turned into" one, in like a forced feminization/hypno type thing. While there are some people who are both trans and identify with the label "sissy", it's kind of an offensive term when used to imply that those are the same thing. It kind of feeds into a lot of the false narratives and the "trans contagion" myth because of the baggage that word carries with it.

    I'm uncomfortable with the label being placed upon a potential trans woman by an outside observer because of those reasons.

  • Something I don't think anyone is talking about is that, if this is now considered a ToS violation, Google will probably decide at some point to start banning accounts over it. Oh, you use adblock? Now your email, Drive documents, and photos are gone.

  • In a court of law, for sure. But for discussion between an employee and boss, I don't think that works the same way. I don't think your boss would have the right to compel speech out of you like that.

    Unless it works differently in the UK?

  • Mine shows ads but doesn't play audio. Plus the ads are just for like their Citi credit card, relatively unobtrusive.

    Tangentially, I recently came to the unfortunate conclusion that it's just not worth my time to get gas at Costco if there's a line, especially if I'm out and about on a lunch break. The gas is good and it's much cheaper, but if it's like 6 cars back and a 15-20 minute wait, I actually save money by filling up elsewhere and just getting back to work sooner.

  • Key word is access. Not everything on your phone is available to the vehicle, but if, for instance, you allow your car to access your contacts, it downloads all of them with all the metadata which the company can then sell. Or internally run through algorithms to profile you and everyone who uses your vehicle. If you use Android Auto or CarPlay, or just connect to the entertainment systems, they'll skim whatever metadata they can and phone it home. Even worse if you use a car's official app, it will use your own phone as the transmission point.

    No, it doesn't immediately transmit an entire backup of your phone over a personal Bluetooth connection, but I was very precise in how I worded my sentence.
