  • Not bad. I’d say end on a supportive note if you still care about them as a person. Like if you would still be there for them through this process just say something like, “I’ll still be here to support you as you grow.” but if you won’t, don’t say that.

    In the corporate world, I was taught about the “shit sandwich”. You start with the good (fully support you coming out, being true to yourself), add the shit in the middle (I’m straight and not into women), then add the other slice of bread (I’ll support your true womanly self along the way). But like, keep the shit in the middle instead of ending on your own thoughts–you can have your thoughts but just end on the supportive part.

    Just like… My opinion, man.












  • Obscuration is what you’re thinking and it works with things like adnauseun (firefox add on that will click all ads in the background to obscure preference data). It’s a nice way to smear the data and probably better to do sooner (while the data collection is in infancy) rather than later (where the companies may be able to filter obscuration attempts).

    I like it. I am really not a fan of being profiled, collected, and categorized. I agree with others, I hate this time line. It’s so uncanny.
