oh wow, your tech must be real slow. Mine will do a hair every 5 seconds. But she’s been doing it for 20 years.

I find this invasion of hacker news by trans women talking about hair removal delightful and hilarious. (Of course, we were all here all along.)

Yeah, my tech is a trainee. I'm sure one who's been doing it for years would go faster, but she's inexpensive and I don't mind helping her learn! The results have been solid so far.

I do not understand why you would describe it as hilarious tbh.

But the hacker scene itself has quite a high and open trans culture. At least on hacker events, camps and congresses like from the ccc, i see quite 'a lot' of trans people.

And that for years if not decades by now.

I agree but HN always seemed more conservative or at least less queer than the "usual", personally I'd have assumed "hilarious" was meant more in a sardonic way, a reverse of the usual than literally hilarious
