Yeah, my youngest sibling has definitely seen CRTs. My niblings probably haven’t, though.

They haven’t called the results of the minimum wage vote yet, god dammit! Don’t take this from me yet!
Oh no, not the same thing I’ve been doing since the mid 90s! I might die if I migrate sites again! Or something.
Making a social network only usable by around 5% of the population and then complaining when only 5% of the population shows up is a pretty indicative attitude of why so many FOSS projects struggle to get widespread adoption. You don’t get to choose how tech literate the population is. You either make it more useable or you accept a limited audience.
If you think this is the only reproductive healthcare that people are dying for lack of in the US, you have vastly overestimated your expertise of the subject matter.
Although Teixeira asked Discord members not to share the documents, an investigative journalism group, Bellingcat, found that Teixeira's friends spread the documents widely, first to other Discord servers, then to Telegram, 4Chan, and Twitter (now called X).
What’s the saying? Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead?
Has an aggressively unpleasant user base and nowhere near the blocking functionality that Bluesky has, which is essentially mandatory now for minorities on the internet. Not to mention an onboarding process that can confuse the tech literate, much less the average person.
This comment is not an invitation to talk about how actually it’s very simple and intuitive if you follow a 20 step process that relies on detailed knowledge of how federation works.
But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be. If it was the torso that was replaced they would look more like satyrs.
Lil dude is about to have a carb coma we can only dream of. Look at that fry-to-body size ratio!
Meanwhile, in ‘Commie-fornia’, I regularly see kids that age riding on the (public, not school) bus alone. And when I lived in New York I’d see them on the subway. Not the slightest bit unusual in the early afternoon when school lets out.
But conservatives are terrified of their neighbors, for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s probably on some weird designer drug. Not because he has to evade tests like athletes, but just because he thinks it makes him smarter than taking FDA approved drugs.
None of these horror games show players the true terror of VHS: the soul-rending sound of the VCR eating another tape. That cost $15-30 in 90s money!
I’ve found !trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone to have a more active community and better modding.
This is how I know aggressive instance bans for bigotry work: I haven’t seen any of that. Sincere condolences to everyone who has to see the open sewer.
The back of a sewing needle would probably be ideal to push it through.
This is one of those videos that always has me absolutely losing it every time I watch it.
My husband is going to have to upgrade his work computer because there’s no way it’s lasting four more years 😔
Fucking annoying how often it’s the trauma, really.
Hydrogenated Oil == Trans Fat
Just as a point of chemistry clarity, partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fat, fully hydrogenated oils do not. Partially hydrogenated oils are no longer GRAS by the FDA and shouldn’t be in any commercially sold foods, except the amount that occurs naturally in foods like butter.
Fully hydrogenated oils still have saturated fat so it’s not like it’s healthy, but it’s not as bad as trans fat.
Blaming the white majority that voted for Trump: ✋😤
Finding a scapegoat minority to blame: 😍
I think admins should do whatever is necessary to comply with their local laws, and that's all I've got to say about that.
I don’t oppose DIY HRT in the slightest, I just wish that when people are talking about it there was a little more acknowledgment that DIY is a LOT more dangerous (legally) for people using testosterone.
There’s a lot of ‘just buy it online!’ which makes sense for estrogen, because as far as I know the only risk of importing that for personal use in the US is it getting confiscated by customs. In comparison testosterone is a schedule III drug, in the same class as ketamine and opium. Just possessing it without a prescription is a crime, and if someone even has more than a 30 day supply in some states they can end up in prison.
Tl;dr: DIY good, testosterone laws bad, please keep us trans men and trans mascs in your thoughts 😔
(TW for self harm and suicide)
During the first Bush presidency I tried to kill myself, and obviously failed. I also engaged in a lot of self harm that I still carry the scars of today.
You need community, and you need joy. Those can get you through almost anything. It will get you through plague and death and suffering.
That doesn’t mean “just have a good time and ignore everything”, it means support the people who need you and take care of yourself as well, and reach out for help when you can’t.
At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history.
Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — enough.”
Not to pressure you to leave if it’s not feasible for you (I’ve so been there), but in case you haven’t heard of it: the Academic Common Market program, run by the Southern Regional Education Board, may be an avenue to get out of Florida while staying in college.
Hang in there.
The Mayo Clinic has a good overview here that explains about the different types of fats
Sometimes I see those little “self driving” (usually remote driven IIRC) delivery robots and it’s usually a bit of a jump scare, because you don’t hear them coming up behind you or around a corner over the street noise.
The rest of the time it’s funny, because they’re stuck or because someone just never came to get the delivery and it’s just standing there uselessly.
Some people are so sucked up in a COVID denialist media bubble they can’t help themselves. Seeing a mask isn’t just seeing someone minding their own damn business, it’s evidence of an existential threat to society.
Yeah, it’s stupid as shit, but that’s how they function. Nonreaction or minimal reaction as you’ve been doing is definitely the way to go. Anyone confronting you over a mask in public is probably not stable enough to have a discussion or argue with.
The spike when you zoom out to the past year:
There are uninformed voters for sure, but always be suspicious of stories that confirm your biases a bit too much.
And don’t get me wrong, I have a shit ton of gripes about The Guardian as a trans person, but rating its factual reporting as “mixed” while the NYT is “high” is either incompetence or an agenda. I think they bank on Americans not being familiar with what international papers are reputable.
Reminder to never post anything on social media, ESPECIALLY on federated social media where federating deletions is a courtesy, that you wouldn’t be comfortable explaining in front of a hostile judge.
You are preaching to the choir, I have viewed Democrats as fair weather friends for at least the past 20 years. Some of us are old enough to 'member getting thrown under the bus to get ENDA passed, which didn't even happen. :') We should still shout it from the rooftops that it will gain them nothing to abandon trans people.
It's okay to take context into account and not just look at it as a math problem. Targeting a minority isn't the same as doing it to people who make up 90% of society but are whiny.
Basically every country has their own sign language or an imported sign language that became standardized.
But learning any sign language will make it a lot easier for you to communicate with signers of any sign language. Not because they’re necessarily similar to each other, but because sign language varies a lot regionally anyway (and even locally depending on what method of signing you’re taught) and it will be much more natural to find ways to work around it and communicate with each other.
Plenty of times someone's sexuality is held above someone's head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn't even slightly belong
As a gay dude with a rainbow hat IRL this made me lol. I’m not wearing it to pick people up, I’m wearing it because I’m not ashamed of who I am. It’s not any different from wearing a wedding ring, couples shirts, or any of the million other displays of heterosexuality that you see and don’t think anything about.
PS: even if you are gay, internalized homophobia is a thing. Feeling that it’s super inappropriate to mention that you’re gay unless you want to fuck someone falls under that.
I mean, are straight people who are normal about it clamoring for the title to begin with? This seems like a problem invented basically entirely by the whiners. You could just as easily say it affects gay people who want an ironic title, or straight trans people, but for obvious reasons the whiners don’t really care about that.
All that said I have no idea what the price tag means in terms of gameplay time to acquire it. If it’s unachievable without 10 hours of grinding or something that’s a little mean, but not enough that I really care.
(Edit: accidentally a word)
I live in southern CA and burritos are cheap ✌️ Once a week it’s nice to not have to cook.
There are other programs for other regions too! I wish I’d known about it when I was in college.
I think the decades of family and social pressure telling me that my appearance defined my self worth which I experienced when I was raised as a girl is the reason I wear a hat to cover my balding head, thanks for asking!
My memory of the exacts here are fuzzy, but I think this depended on whether or not your TV picked up digital signal, analog, or both. I remember around that time we had a TV that would pick up static on some channels and have a blue input screen on others.
