  • So maybe you can help me out with this bit:

    Where I'm at right now, I feel like trans inclusivity means, that regardless of being born afab or amab, if you want to be perceived and treated by he/him pronouns, she/her pronouns, or they/them pronouns, you deserve that recognition and treatment.

    That is currently where I am at for trans inclusivity.

    I support that, in my workplace and in my community.

    Am I falling short here? Am I not reaching far enough to be trans inclusive?

    Edit: SA was a different thread, it's somewhere way back there in my history.

  • Yeah I was a complete asshole. Not an excuse, but this was after about 2-dozen people sexually harassed me, so I was not at my best. And I will apologize any time for anyone who is hurt or offended.

    That said, I was also speaking to people who started out as rape apologists in the context of Russian soldiers and Ukrainians families. If you're pretty cool with kids getting raped by soldiers, but you're offended that someone didn't memorize 4 different neo-pronouns, that is 100% a place of privilege. Am I wrong on that?

    Edit: also, as you are a trans person, recognizing that you are in a world where your safety is often a razor-thin line, anything I said that you felt unsafe around, I do deeply apologize.

  • Hexbear also weaponizes accusations of transphobia the same way Israel weaponizes accusations of anti-semitism.

    Now Hexbear hasn't done any genocide yet, but it does loove to talk about executing people, many and frequently.

  • just a heads up that they cant see your comment because according to the hexbear modlog you were banned from hexbear 3 months ago for transphobia and mocking non binary hexbear users for using alternative pronouns

    Ahh, what actually happened is I said they behave like alt-right, and their neo-pronouns look more like a mockery of trans people than being genuinely trans-inclusive in ways that matter in real life.

    Which, I'm still open to an explanation of how they are advancing trans right irl, and taking the L and admitting I was wrong. Their response was to sexually harass me instead. I'm not mad, but if I accuse you of behaving like alt-right and you dig your heels in deeper to behave like alt-right, that's on you man.

    Thank you for the heads up though.

    ** Edit: as a sidenote, for all the lip-service Hexbear gives trans people, they still cannot tell the difference between men and people with penises.

  • I'm been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.

    Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.

    Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you'll always boot into a reliable machine, it's the best.

  • Lemmy is probably still one of the best I've seen; but that's also a reallyyy low bar.

    There is a lot of anti-Israel on lemmy, but I believe in good faith it isn't coming from a core place of anti-semitism. Like like, anti-US if anything.

  • Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret? Starfleet went back to flatscreens for everything and didn't use holograms again until the 24th century.

    If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

    It's totally possible to respect the heritage of old sci-fi - look at The Mandalorian and Andor - maintaining consistency with the old retro sci-fi aesthetic actually elevates them above what a modern redesign would have done.

  • Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he's Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he's really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

    I think collectively we're getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.
