Post No. 3,060 - The thoughtfulness of technology (a whinge)

Wow. I got another spam call - nothing exceptional about that, and they are one of the reasons my phone automatically diverts unknown calls to message bank (which is very helpful technology), but this time, unusually, the spammers left a message ... in a language that wasn't English ... and the phone unhelpfully translated it to English. 

The one bit of rubbish in that caught my attention was a question about whether I am drinking: as an inadvertent teetotaller (I just don't like the taste of most alcohol - and loathe the sensations and psychic dangers of being drunk) for around 15 years and near complete teetotaller for around the previous quarter century (for the same reasons) I can fairly confidently say “bù” (no).

And that pretty much illustrates the scatter gun approach of spammers and their ilk: if anything does seem to be relevant, it almost certainly is by chance, so ignore it.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
