Automatic hair removal too?! Nice

The other people taking lesson’s shooting you or you shooting them? Or both at the same time?

For me, it took me several months to use the 100 trial searches. Paying $5/month for like 20 searches isn’t worth it for me. Also just not into getting more subscriptions… wouldn’t matter if it was just 50 cents/month for the basic plan. If they had one-time-payment no-expiration option like 1000 searches for $10, I’d probably lean towards getting that.

I’ve found out with other things that family needs to be told to keep personal details private from other immediate family. My brother has gotten better about respecting my privacy regarding things like GSM stuff by default, but still assumes similarly queer friends are free to be told (and I believe giving a lot of personal details related to that, not just the label; tbh, I’m actually fine with that, but it still feels like something he should have asked first about).

With autism I’d especially assume no privacy unless explicitly requested because I’d assume people already knew anyways. A diagnosis doesn’t really change that.

Cool. Being trans, not tolerating transphobia, and having emotes is comparable to being nazis?

Also, not suggesting people need to go there because its active. I could go to traa, egg, mtf, agender, enby, etc on reddit, but I don’t want to use reddit and a lot of those communities make hexbear look tame in terms of spamminess and immaturity.

Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world…

News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.

Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld’s.

History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)

Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).

Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld’s 13k

Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld’s 6k

Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar’s 19k

Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.

And is there any reason behind the name? A bear, but hexagon shaped, is their mascot.

Isn’t your instance federated with hexbear? Seems like it hardly blocks any lemmy instances.

I’m subscribed to pretty much all the trans coms I know of and traa is 90% of the trans content that shows up. Another 5% are other hexbear trans subs. Traa has as many comments in half a month as mtf@blajah has had in its entire existance and as many in a week as trans@blahaj has made in total (the two largest non-hexbear trans subs afaik).

Not really surprising. 10 out of the 10 most commented posts in the past year are on hexbear (the top 2 being the weekly trans mega threads). Granted, a lot of that is just the hyper-active posting of a few users. Regardless, if you want a trans community, there’s basically no active alternative to hexbear’s traaa here.

L from death note is a commonly given example I think.

On one hand, I think some data is better than no data, so I think its fair to say that there is a lack of evidence for it being better in terms of in-game performance after setup based on it and that should just be the null assumption anyways.

On the other hand, its been over a decade since its been pretty well known that average FPS is not necessarily reflective of overall performance and throwing the frametime data into a spreadsheet and doing =percentile([range],.99) and =percentile([range],.999) and then dragging it to neighboring cells seems like a pretty minimal extra work for a commercialized channel. For niche testing like this, I’m less bothered by it because having some results seems better than nothing, but its still nice to see it pointed out.

Honestly, I think I just avoid looking at people in general. I think it took a while for me to realize I was even doing something unusual. I think I noticed when people seemed to think I should know things like “what color shirt someone was wearing”. Like, why would I know? Not sure that was an autistic thing though or more of a “I don’t want people observing me, so I don’t do that to others” kind of thing.

How do you interpret other people’s eye contact?

If I noticed someone is making unusual amounts of eye contract, I probably laughed at them. Just seems ridiculous and they most be trying to do it as a joke.

(self-diagnosed)

On a 27" monitor, it makes a huge deal for things like web-browsing, spreadsheets, etc. For video games, its not something I generally notice the difference in with a notable exception being Terraria. Having smaller UI (but still clear) to give more usable space is the main benefits imo.

Thought it seemed a bit exaggeratory, but given bullying (including physical bullying) is a thing people experience for being socially awkward, it may not be an exaggeration for some. I wasn’t aware a the difference between masking neurodivergence or gender as a child or a young adult: I just subconsciously learned to behave in accordance to others expectations and keep quiet about some things.
