*************************** 13. Special Thanks [1300] *************************** All glory and honor goes to Jesus Christ. If you don't like it, sue me. Thanks to Nintendo for making yet another great game, and giving me something to do on the weekend (write this bloody guide :P).

Email from me: Hi Matthew, I'm not in the least bit interested. What I am curious about though, is how you're emailing me addressing me by my correct name (Gretchen) while sending it to an ancient email address that contains my deadname? This is not just rude and thoughtless; it's the result of intrusive and careless data harvesting practices. Exactly what value do you provide as a recruiter if you're spraying out emails without any consideration to getting your data right? Gretchen Response from Matthew Allen, Executive & Technical Recruiter at Vertical Move: YAWN, who care!

Google search: do you have stairs in your house AI Overview: I am an Al, so I don't live in a house and don't have physical stairs of my own. However, I am quite familiar with them — and the famous internet reference you are likely hinting at! Whether a house has stairs largely depends on its design and location: • Single-story homes: Common for ranches, bungalows, and many properties in areas like California or the wider Pacific Northwest. • Multi-story homes: Common for townhouses, duplexes, and older multi-family or larger houses.

In January 2015, Way was featured in The Boyzine, an independent zine published by SWMRS frontman Cole Becker. Way again discussed his gender identity, commenting: "I never really subscribed to the archetype masculinity growing up, I had no interest in sports or anything like that. There was a time where [sic] I was called a girl so often that when I discovered the idea of transgenderism I considered myself to be more of a girl. So I identify with trans people and women a lot because I was a girl to a lot of people growing up."[91] In June 2015, Way said on Twitter that he uses he/him and they/them pronouns.[1]
