You’re not expressing the support / ‘live and let live’ attitude you think you are.

Your impression of trans people is based on right wing hyperbole/mockery. You don’t understand it, because “it” doesn’t make sense.

The phrases “man in a dress” or “woman with a beard”does not resonate with the vast majority of people actually in the community.

I can help clear up some of the confusion, if you’d like.

I agree with you in general, but that person was not trying to have a discussion. Had you seen their post history? It was the same thing over and over again spammed to various different communities. The only comments on their profile were name-calling and slurs at the people who criticised their posts. I don’t think we should allow that.

The poll is the funniest part to me. I do want to surrender to “Iran/democrats”.

Idk if my answer counts here, I technically have a “living room” in my flat but I’ve got it set up as an office. So, nowhere else for the TV to go except my bedroom.

If I had space to put it in my living room, I’d probably still want a smaller one in my bedroom. There are some YT channels I love watching before falling asleep.

Zelenskyy says this every time any other country is in crisis. He’s said it about Gaza before and now it’s about Iran and the Levant. Weird exceptionalist mindset.

Rather than condemning the US and Israel’s invasion for being pointless violence, he chooses to focus specifically on the side effect of having American military resources diverted? Really tone-deaf.

Yes it is! Good one though lol

It’s a lot busier and there are more communities, which I’m thankful for. When I first joined I was pretty much always a handful of posts away from being “caught up”.

Morning: wash face with cleanser, then apply snail mucin, then apply SPF moisturiser

Evening: the same, though I tend to skip the SPF moisturiser more often than not. Should probably get a non-SPF one for evenings.

People don’t compliment my skin or anything, but holy moly the difference it makes in the mirror… My skin naturally wants to be really dull and dry (yet also oily), the snail mucin really helps me look normal/less like a zombie.

What in the world kind of job makes you set up a Hackintosh? 😭 while I’m stuck here with company managed Windows on a Thinkpad where I can’t even customise my wallpaper…

I built and set up mine back in the High Sierra days (hobby project ofc.) I kept it going for years but finally gave up a few months ago; didn’t feel worth it anymore when Intel is on its way out of the Apple ecosystem. Could have easily keep it going if I didn’t care about staying up to date with MacOS major releases.

Nobody else mentioned DuckDNS. It’s free and has worked great for me for years.

You’ll need to install a client that syncs/auto-updates your public IP, then pretty much never touch it again.

My instance has downvoting disabled and (I think) also does not federate downvotes. So 0/default is as low a comment score as I’ll ever see!

Agree with the general message, but constructing an exaggerated character that is easy to criticise by design does not equate to winning any kind of real argument.

Dude lmao I lost my hair in my first year on T, it was fucking nuts. Middle Eastern genes done me dirty

Tradeoff still 100% worth it tho, despite feeling like the experience genuinely aged my soul lol.

Coming from Mr. Market Manipulation lmao.

So real. Never have audio issues on my Linux PC.

Meanwhile my company issue ThinkPad just doesn’t want to work with any Bluetooth audio input. I can’t take work calls from any other device either due to IT policy…

Distraction from the Epstein files, amongst other things. I straight up call this the Epstein war.

I’ve been summoned :o

I grew up in the middle east, closeted, and only out to my therapist(s). (In fact, it took a while to find one who didn’t look at me with shock/horror/disgust lol.) I really feel for you and am also inspired by you!

This is not the reason. There are US bases in the UAE.

My body runs like an oven when I’m asleep. To that end, I have the heating off by the time I’m in bed (winter), and if the air still isn’t crisp enough, I’ll open the window a crack.

In the warmer months I straight up cannot sleep if the windows are closed.

Edit: forgot to mention that I am in the UK
