I went to a school with uniforms too, so guys could never wear anything but the uniform khaki pants. But when my Boy Scout patrol went to a Highland Games themed camporee, I definitely kept wearing the “kilt” to Scouts stuff for months. And they say there were never signs…

Thank you!

Thank you!

That’s what I do now, so it would probably just be a fun project for me to see if I can do the jailbreak

As an old PaperWhite owner with no loyalty to Amazon, anywhere I can find a jailbreaking guide?

I take 30mg in the mornings, it works pretty well for me. I took 70mg once and had an absolutely miserable time, it was way too much

Not particularly, at least not by anyone other than my wife. She thinks I’m pretty great, and I just don’t see it. I think I’m pretty average and unremarkable, and the world will just keep moving along without me once I’m gone. Takes the pressure off a bit, tbh, because it makes the stakes pretty low. If no one values what you provide, then it doesn’t really matter if you meet their expectations or not.

Damn, Kropotkin went off. Pretty rad

Thanks for sharing, that’s super cool! Looks like I have some reading to do

I almost did that going home this past weekend for Easter. (They’re religious, I just like candy and dyeing eggs.) I’m too afraid of how they’re going to react though, so I chickened out. Maybe I’ll get brave enough to tell them before Thanksgiving.

I heard this once, and it’s stuck with me since: don’t speak for people that you don’t speak to. It helps me remember that I don’t really know the challenges a marginalized community faces if I’m not a part of it, and I should do the work of listening and understanding before inserting myself into a situation with perhaps well-intentioned, but misguided, attempts at helping.

It got easier to deal with after accepting that we’re all essentially just background characters in a cyberpunk dystopia

“Foid”

Incel shit. Doesn’t have a place here, even ironically, imo

Way to go Maryland! It’s good to see some positive news

Well, I figured that wanting to inject myself with estrogen probably wasn’t something most cis guys felt like doing. And especially now that I’m on hormones and don’t want to stop, it feels like a pretty good sign I’m doing something right

There are residential neighborhoods in cities though, where straight roads with roundabouts and other traffic calming makes more sense than a curving a road, for the purposes of lowering driving speeds. Neither is better or worse inherently, we should just tailor solutions to the environment they’re needed in.

There’s a flipside too though. Straight lines aren’t great for suburbs for the speed reason, but once you reach enough density and the roads get narrow enough, grids make planning easier, and navigating easier for pedestrians. Roundabouts are a nice way to slow traffic through straight roads

Only from above. When you’re on foot, grid systems feel plenty variable and lively

Haha that very much feels like a case of justified hierarchy

Yeah, that’s probably a fair assumption
