Titty :D

I mean, they didn't bother you guys.

The guy was just cold, and the gal had a personal moment. Not their fault, that you two little kids were scared of strangers.

Kidding aside, and assuming what you've written is neither internet-talk nor standard schizophrenia tendencies, it might be carbon monoxide poisoning. It was a phenomenon, with haunted houses very often just having faulty heaters of some kind, causing hallucinations in the right doses.

Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you're actually doing is making it look like content marketing rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.

Low-to-medium effort troll account... Can you at least tag the nsfw?

To sound (and be) even more pedantic though, any number except one (1) can be dozens, but truly any number can be a number of dozens, as my comment said.

1 is a number.

Wait has this been a widespread issue? I've only noticed this a couple weeks now, but I thought it was because the cat dropped my deck from the table 😶

What's going on actually?

Any number is a number of dozens if you think about it

Sure, no objections there

So, to condense the article:

::: spoiler German car industry says:

We are having a tough time! We're thinking of closing our German factories, and ending our "We don't fire people" Guarantee!

Politicians, please save us by regulating our competitors and exempting us from sales tax on new technologies!

Why?

Because our primary source of money before, was selling in China (40% to 50% of earnings), and now Chinese EVs have taken over both China and the local market! So, with our shitty expensive EVs, we can't compete, and, worst of all, China is buying less from us, so we are losing all that money! :::

Opinion:

::: spoiler German car industry means:

We kept selling to the most vulnerable market and pocketing innovation money, and now we got out-innovated and that market is no longer vulnerable!

Please give us tax-money and regulate our competitors away, otherwise we will make a political stink, and throw workers on the street! :::

Is it your first time epilating? How was the pain, relating to that (hypothetical) first time?

I'm asking because, after some (read: many, many) times, plucking my eyebrows has just completely 100% stopped hurting. Could epilating be kinda the same?

You can legally kill anyone related to someone who has had Disney+.

Iirc, the wife died, the husband sued, and they tried to say the husband can't sue because HE had had the subscription a long time ago.

Each subscriber loses the right to sue for any of their loved ones.

After all, if they're dead, they can't sue you anyway

Ghostery got bought, and is now selling your data, while tracker blocking has become a default on Firefox and ublock.

Just Firefox and Ublock are all you're gonna need, for a long time

Lol

A record of records

Very cool and dense video.

So many good ideas, in an incredibly short and efficient format.

What manner of genocide apology is this

... Would

I require explanation, due to my country of origin not being the United States of America

Holy shit this was good

Goodbye

I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can't read what runs through their and their friends' head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period's political pulse later.

And I don't think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.

Oh no. I guess the only reasonable response is to bomb another children's hospital.

Thanks, the thrift idea is probably pretty good. And, as long as something is inside my house, it's plenty safe, so I don't worry about that.

My actual style, slowly is shifting towards a style between punk and hippie that does exist here (we have a couple of... I think in English they're called squats? Occupations? People take over public buildings for protest, and live in them long term as small semi-communes), with long hair, loose-fitting short sleeved dress shirts, short jeans and piercings.

To be perfectly honest with you, my masc expression is enjoyable as fuck.

But, maybe, for that reason, and because of my sense of what non-binary is... This "slight femininity" is not feminine to me. It's a well balanced, healthy masculinity.

And I love this part of myself.

::: spoiler Probably slightly oversharing rant And at the same time, I wanna dye the tips of my hair pink. I wanna skirt go spinny. I want the interesting, chaotic, enormous variety that girl clothes have. And dresses. I want a damned nipple piercing, without being scared of how much it shows through clothes. I wanna be able to hug people without feeling self-conscious, either like I'm inappropriate and invading, or like I'm "socially not understanding the rules" and "not acting like a man". :::

So yeah. I'm more struggling with gender roles, than aesthetics themselves. But god knows I'd enjoy playing around with the simple joys of it all, in my home at least.

Thanks for the recommendations and the site, by the way!

Is this... The Invincible comic?

Yeah, but, unfortunately,

1. Your opinion is not unpopular, it's the most common one

And

2. This is a proven, and wonderfully effective way to protest. Getting the media to report on things at all, is an enormous, and repeatedly researched driver of discussion and awareness. And the climate emergency is not acted upon enough, and the continued criminal actions of the Oil industry are also painfully underreported.

I wish from the bottom of my heart this natural sense of justice of yours was the way to solve these issues, but those rich fucks are literally relying on, and fanning the flames of this mental pitfall, to keep people more passive on this issue.

Data and science says this protest, just like most other protests, works.

Protest in any way you see fit, different kinds of protest "work" on different people and structures. Just go and actually participate in whichever you believe in.

::: spoiler Relevant XKCD :::

I have absolutely 0 idea, I don't know how to name nearly any style whatsoever.

I need at least a bit of plausible deniability, at least for going outside, because my town is pretty backwards.

Even my favourite way of putting it up in the house alone, which is in a 10-15-degrees-above-horizontal ponytail, but sideways instead of backwards, which makes me feel really cute, is not really a style I can wear outside.

I guess the feeling I'd like to get, is this, being cute and bubbly.

Honestly, now that I think about it, my expectation to wear these outside before you even tell me, is dumb. Just gimme the cutest, girliest, bubbliest style(s?) you got, for exploration and euphoria.

Ah yes, F1nncel, the hot-girl-fluid man with the girlfriend

That is correct, I remember the discourse and comparison between raloxifene and tamoxifen. Their existence sounds very cool.

Thanks a lot!

Pretty long. Curliness makes it not show its full length, and it still hangs below the shoulders. Brushed straight, it just about reaches the end of the ribcage

::: spoiler Vibe of half of this comment: :::

Ok, I recognize the genderfluid identity means many different pronouns might be ok, but your sentence

on twitter it says her pronouns are he/him

is just funny to me.

The Guardian has dropped the ball a bunch of times.

A non-name media org is less likely to be a target for rich fucks who want to pay to push their agenda through a big, recognizable, reputable source.

The bigger the organisation, the greater the chances it will be corrupted, in ways big and small, by rich fucks.

Ok yeah, I have absolutely no idea where to start other than a feel of how "some ways to put my hair up make me euphoric", so I'd love to talk about it. The styling specifically. I don't have make up and it's scary 🥲

Yeah, I am considering it, when I get some more financial stability.

Specifically, about a new-ish (read: not very well researched yet) hormone, which has estrogen effects all over the body (and mentally), except the breasts where is produces significantly reduced growth (I think F1nn5ter is using it for his transition and was talking about it, though I didn't learn about it from him so I don't know what he said). (Imma look for its name later, and come back to write it if it's hard to find)

I feel weird about these kinds of things people say.

I get it's coming from a kind place, and I guess that for some people it might help and give them strength to keep going, but for me... It feels like being coddled.

Let me make my position very clear, I'm talking about the conflation of what you are with how you look.

Not all women look femme. And while OP has expressed in other comments that she has feminine characteristics (while she discounts them, despite being important (hey OP, a feminine voice is a Very feminine thing to have, it might contribute a lot to you being seen as a femboy)), you haven't seen how she looks in order to call how she looks 'femme'.

::: spoiler How I personally feel Femme means something specific. I'm a slightly dysphoric enby, who looks more masc than I want, and when people who know, try to tell me I look femme, I (do get euphoric, and then) ask them why. And honestly, if they don't have a good vibe of understanding what they're saying, it feels disingenuous, and it feels bad. Like a confirmation that they don't see the femme parts that are here. :::

On top of everything else, people could still be in the process of becoming what they want to look like. I personally prefer to hear others' honest impressions, in order to understand how to better change, if I so desire. I guess there's a need for both feedback and validation, and I prefer that each person give of what they actually have to give, what they actually do think.

::: spoiler To OP: OP, stay strong, it sounds like you're making some tough decisions, based on your living conditions. I do think that, if you can't actually come out as a trans woman, coming out as a femboy might make you go through 2 easier, but still difficult situations, rather than one very difficult one. Coming out is never over anyway, and details always change in one's life, but do the best your senses tell you you can do, they're usually your best bet, since you know your life. Your gut can take a lot more information in to make a decision, than other people can, or even your logical side can. You sound like you have the perseverance for this. Good luck, and have fun with your journey! :::

Apothecary diaries irl

(Good show, recommended)

No longer a mathematical problem, but determine the largest piece that can be removed, before it becomes apparent to onlookers that the leftover pizza has been tampered with.

Remember the premise, cheating is lying about the situation, and acting on those needs without consent.

There is no world where that is healthier than whatever mutual agreement the couple could end up in, after honestly sharing their situation.

If the care for the needs of the child is real and actually shared between the parents, anything ranging from a sexually open marriage, to a divorce with uninterrupted coparenting, is leagues better than pretending you want to be there while actually both having a bad time around your child's other parent, and constantly lying.

So, there was a community called "non voters", created by MindTraveller?

Ada locked it down for not confirming with the spirit of the instance (I'm going to shallowly read into the name of the community, and say that the lock seems fair, from the outside).

Then, it reads to me like MindTraveller made another community, which was also taken down, and got him banned along with it.

Why did those things happen? Why was a second community made? Why was it banned? Why are you claiming that it was an unfair ban?

Honestly, if those points aren't clarified, Ada appears to be really reasonable from a bystander's perspective.

I also have always wanted to sleep in a huge dog bed but, unfortunately

Summer

I'm already suffering the tyranny of sweating all my liquids out twice a night, this would add a whole extra dimension of heat (pun not intended)
