Either way I hope we all get to a place where we can live as and present as whatever we wish whenever we wish.
Hear, hear - the sooner the better!
- Comment on Anon's best friend is a repper 1 week ago:
but the idea that doing something gender nonconforming signals that you’re trans is not correct and in my experience not a widely popular belief among young people.
I think you are in a very progressive area, and don’t often see the parts that are not.
I took that as them saying many can’t express themselves just like in the op post. That many who are in those younger groups are still stuck in those boxes. They don’t feel exploring would be safe, so they stay in those neat little boxes.
I did not, in any way, read that as remotely to the right.
Again, thats my take. I think it may be good to go back and re-read without assuming that the argument you’re reading is the one they are making, because to me it reads very differently, especially with that last line:
There’s no reason to make those feminine traits though. Real liberation means we ditch the whole thing.
Thats pretty different from “tomboys are a thing”, IMO. Not trying to create an argument here, btw, just saying the signals may have been mixed up and you’re on the same side.

I read their comment as…
And as Millennials/Zs/As are umshackled,
And
“Boomers+ and Generation X groups were more likely to identify as trans women compared to the younger generational cohorts, who were more varied in their identities.”
Are not the same. There may be quite a bit more exploration of gender identity today, but many, many, many are still in areas or situations where such exploration would be dangerous.
As in, not unshackled, just a bit more free for some.

Since I have to deal with an older system that has not yet been replaced (and isn’t slated to be for a variety of reasons), combined with some security requirements that the clients IT team had put into place…
I still have blank CDs and have burned them relatively recently. Probably will be doing so again in about 2 months…

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol, which is what I said in the comment you replied to.
They are not oils.
- Comment on Love this 5 weeks ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding - weed vapes can use oil (and more, such as dry flower), but nic vapes are not oil based.
So only weed vapes would use an oil. Not that weed vapes are exclusively oil. Based on your reply I am assuming thats what’s being confused here.
- Comment on Love this 1 month ago:
Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.
(Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completelt by having a vape.)

I’d really recommend taking your own advice and actually reading the thread you are commenting in. Holy shit.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
What strawman? Dude this is the entire basis of this comment thread. What the fuck are you talking about?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
Ah, yes, because everyone is provided a PC by their employer.
There aren’t self employed people or anything who maybe require a specific piece of software to get paid.
But what does it have to do with it? Its the entire thread dude, what are you talking about?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
The only part that matters is detection.
Whether that detection is accurate or not is irrelevant.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
On the same basis as Ninte do, it wouldn’t matter if they are or are not, if their “detection” determines ita against terms, then its against terms.
False positives happen all the time.

- Comment on Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffs 2 months ago:
Only thing I care about is the quality.
I could not possibly care less about a brand name other than (in some situations) it being an indicator of quality. Which also tends to drop over time.
I’d absolutely buy direct from China. Wouldn’t be the first time for me. The only question is whether these are quality products or not.
- Comment on America is fucked 2 months ago:
There is no curb on many of these streets to go onto, there are bollards to protect pedestrians preventing that.
Its a design problem combined with a congestion problem, that was the reason for the congestion relief toll.

- Comment on history rhymes, or something 3 months ago:
I had to look it up (dont know much about it), but in the Wikipedia entry it notes:
Time named the Hungarian Freedom Fighter its Man of the Year
And
In 2006, Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány referred to this famous Time cover as “the faces of free Hungary” in a speech marking the 50th anniversary of the uprising.
Which makes me think they were later vindicated. But maybe I’m missing something.

And now its already built, so stuck with it for a while.

You can check lemon laws in your state.
In mine, it was out of service long enough in December that it would qualify (assuming you bought new based on what you’ve said).

- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 4 months ago:
Making it spez, not musk.
Musk isn’t applying any legal recourse here. This was a reddit decision.
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 4 months ago:
Moderation is the law, not banning a sub. The continued banwave today I think speaks to that rather clearly.
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 4 months ago:
Sure, but why whitepeopletwitter of all places? If they’re trying to disrupt dissent surely there are more effective places to put their energy
Not that I think this is what happened, but I think the answer is actually really straightforward - how quickly will reddit bend the knee? Let’s find out.
Thats all it would take is a random thought to get there.
Again, not what I think happened. Enough people elsewhere saying the same things that its bound to get commented in a reddit thread as well.
I do, however, think Musk pushed for the entire sub to get banned, or spez did it proactively as a show of support (with a hope to bury his nose in Musk crack).
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 4 months ago:
Bullshit.
I saw the screenshots. The upvotes didn’t even break 2 digits. At most, the comments would get removed and the users banned. Saying it makes sense for the entire sub to be taken down for the dozen or so idiots is, undeniably, bullshit.
The same types of comments have been made on lemmy. The instances did not get taken down or any legal action. Suggesting otherwise is nonsense.

I’d prefer to hope for actual justice.
- Comment on Sad 4 months ago:
Cancer isn’t justice. Its not a matter of “won’t someone think of”, its just a pointless, useless wish that would accomplish nothing.
So I’m not interested in the “that makes you a centrist!” crap.
