I’ve been denied all the best ultra sex 😞

HRT should be available to trans kids. it seems I’m increasingly alone in this belief, depressingly, looking at the political situation around the world.

America: third world country, first world prices.

it’s extremely rare to find such a cheap used car. my partner spent $8k on one that lasted a year. also, you might be surprised to learn that driving isn’t optional in most of the US - it’s literally impossible to live without a car. I live in a suburb. it’s several miles of dangerous roads to get to a grocery store. there is no nearby public transit. even large cities like LA were completely designed around cars. zoning and urban planning here completely screwed us.

yes, it sucks, yes I’m aware, yes I’d love to live in a walkable European city with commuter rail and cafes on the street corner, no I don’t have a choice.

weeds are to gardens like my house is to HOAs.

The idea that, if all Trump supporters simply had access to better information, if they all had better education, if they were exposed to the right argument… then they’d see the light and turn into democrats - is a supremely liberal idea. We need to understand that no amount of epic slams, no amount of late night talk show roasts, no amount of facts and logic will steer us out of fascism.

Well said. And honestly, it’s even counterproductive, because that assumption is a core reason why people view the establishment Left as patronizing and elitist.

It also reminds me of one of my favorite Onion videos: https://youtu.be/lpzVc7s-_e8 (I like Judith Butler, and I’ve even read some of Gender Trouble, but the premise and execution just gets me in stitches every time.)

is this… somehow… real?

could you make this?

Lockpicks. One day the bathroom door somehow locked from the inside without anyone in there, and I really needed to pee. Really came in handy. Turns out you could just use a flathead screwdriver, there wasn’t an actual lock cylinder, but don’t take this from me!

the Classicists and the classists!

is there a matrix client for Android? last I checked there was like, one, and it wasn’t very good. whereas there’s like 14 different Lemmy apps, many of which are fabulous.

oof.

and I was just looking at a 100Tbps backhaul the other day… that’s what, a billion times more bandwidth?

I read CS papers from the late '80s/early '90s and it feels like unearthing cuneiform tablets. Lots of good ideas, just everything felt so raw and new.

He might have a connective tissue disorder? EDS in particular causes stretchy skin, though I’ve never seen the scalp do that.

t. EDS patient. it’s pretty crippling and painful but I have some fun party tricks!

And Dimitry Prigozhin was Putin’s chef! Before he founded PMC Wagner, helped invade Ukraine, led a failed coup attempt, and got blown up.

Truly the soul of Russia is in its cooking. 🪆

Lemmy has a grand total of one (1) spambot, a scammer posing as “Nicole.” in a way, this is Lemmy World Heritage in the making.

is there an AMA sublemmy?

I’m switching to DeepSeek-R1, personally. locally hosted, so I won’t be affected when the US bans it. plus I can remove the CCP’s political sensitivity filters.

it feels weird for me to be rooting for PRC to pull ahead of the US on AI, but the idea of Trump and Musk getting their hands on a potential superintelligence down the line is terrifying.

wait, why would you need to bypass guardrails for this?
