That’s where being pansexual has the upper hand: I don’t even have a clue.

Unfortunately there are a fair amount of people, within those communities, who feel as though attention placed upon trans issues not only distracts from gay/bi issues, but that it is a very different issue and as such should be separated from the movement entirely.

I should state that I do not believe in their views, I have volunteered for and attended Pride festivals without judgement, however I felt it was important to give an explanation to their ethos (as far as I understand it, anyway).

I noticed that YouTube began setting my videos to the lowest resolution, when set to Auto, since a day or two ago.
I installed an extension to force the resolution I want, and it took maybe 10 seconds to grab.

Like hell am I allowing ads.

With that much he could probably afford two!

Try to research the task, and why there should be importance placed upon said task (whether it’s the end result or something else).

Most things have some importance to them, it’s just that I don’t often take notice of it until it’s pointed out to me - so I try to make it so I can point it out myself, if that makes sense.

To Do lists coupled with the above helps as well, though to each their own.

Not for most people no, but Empress? I will believe it straight away.

You should read the rap lol.

I can’t help but laugh at how batshit crazy she is. Didn’t she write a rap at some point??

I’ll never not be convinced that she’s on a fair amount of meth and/or crack.

Double-speak is just sometimes more obvious at times.

That is so sad yet it does line up with my experiences. Thank you for the info.

2009 was the year of my first enrollment, and I returned in 2016.

Hope this helps! I found the experiences wildly different.

I first went to university when it was just over £3k in fees. When I returned to university, it was over £9k.

Honestly, and this may just be my experience, though everything seemed better in the before days when the fees were much less. I’m not sure what universities are doing with the 3x increase but it seems like feck all.
I agree with you. Education should indeed be free, and the costs are just there to try and gatekeep learning of all things.

Honestly I am in favour of this, purely based on how hilarious your scenario makes it sound.

I also propose guidance on dressing the dog up like Dr. Scooby Doo.

I don’t know why, but some inebriated man in Arkansas once told me “sometimes you gotta just throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks”. I’m not sure if he was being literal, though I felt it was appropriate rn.

If it makes you feel any better, I was diagnosed almost 20 years ago and people still do not fully believe it. I’m going to be 36 this year…

With the focus on politics we tend to forget that there are human beings behind the role.

Cancer is shit, and I hope she gets through it well. I don’t say that as someone with Anarchism tattoos (I have two), I say it as a human being. Like goddamn guys.

Without revealing too much, my mother was a women’s rights activist for a short while when I was younger (in the mid-90s).

She was abused by a priest within the Asian community, and was told (like many women before her) to keep quiet, since the norm was to blame the woman for being abused. My mother said fuck that, and spoke up. She was on every major TV station giving interviews, she was on Kilroy twice (was a very popular talk show here in the UK), shook hands with Princess Diana, etc.

The reason I bring that up, is due to one time when she would go on a local radio station and provide her phone number live on air, telling women to contact her, that she would go through the pranks and spam if there was the chance of victims coming through.
The amount of women experiencing every day harassment was something that I just cannot forget, as a young man knowing the extent of what women go through in regards to daily harassment really helped shape my understanding. It is a real issue that I believe a lot of men are simply unaware of as nothing of that sort happens to us. I’ve met countless women who have told me they are afraid to wear dresses that are shorter than down to their ankles, in fear of being groped. In 2024 this shouldn’t be a thing but here we are.

These signs are, unfortunately, needed to raise some awareness. It’s not an issue that faces me directly, but man it definitely is an issue for a lot of women out there. Getting MUCH better, however still something that needs to be acknowledged imho.

Wow looks like you’re going to have a very merry x-max im sorry

Here’s the thing though… I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade before Lemmy, and whilst there may be less interaction the interactions themselves have been far more sincere. People are more willing to engage, and even with this random comment there’s a chance someone would comment below.

The community feel of Lemmy is something, at least I’ve found, Reddit had lost a very long time ago.

Sort of a quality Vs quantity thing I guess?

I’m glad I’m not the only one disappointed.

We want real mastodon facts, damn it.

Thank you for your absolutely terrifying, yet honest and true answer.
