That one can backfire. Some of us just learn to fight from a disadvantage.

There are at least two instances specifically dedicated to it. I currently prefer pornlemmy.com to lemmy.nsfw. We need some more niche content to make it's way onto the platform, but it's a good start.

This isn't a respectful attempt to understand two spirit people. You are intentionally using dismissive language that implies a lack of validity to their lived experiences. "It's fine that you think and do these things, but it's all in your head, and your reasoning is made up nonsense." is something trans people of all sorts hear before their rights are attacked and diminished. It's something I have heard out of the mouth of flesh and blood humans in front of me. The structure with which you address two spirit people is comparably delegitimizing. If you must handle this with familiar terms instead of seeking the third party gnostic understanding of empathy, consider it a cultural metaphor. Because this metaphor contains facts and realities that you don't understand, even if they are couched in ideas you personally find implausible, and you're never going to really understand these facts by simple reframing. You have to understand from their perspective to deconstruct and reconstruct the truths held in the two spirit experience into your reality.

That's an offensive way to refer to someone's religious and cultural experiences. Being two spirit is a gnostic spiritual experience that is both current and real. Calling it a myth isn't acceptance. It's judgement, the imposing of your frame of reference on their lived experience.

You were getting hit on by a gay ex-Mormon. He was awkward. He wants you to know he's sorry he made you uncomfortable.

Their souls contain metaphysical aspects of both masculine and feminine tradition. They may contain an entire soul of both genders. None of these things are external. There is no separate or outside entity. All of the soul within them is them. Anything more specific requires knowing the person and their culture. Don't worry about mapping it onto your worldview. Just accept it within theirs.

Plenty of the rules are "don't do this objectively harmless thing"

Plenty of the rulez are "do this ridiculously pointless thing"

Most declarations of what religions do and don't don't do miss Discordianism pretty hard, but you got us on those.

Exhibits: A) Don't eat hotdog buns. B) Go off alone on a Friday and eat a hotdog with a bun.

Good looking out for us religious minorities.

I see plenty of content on both. Idk what's up for you.

It's still kinda surreal here. Multiple people I work with have been arrested for possession, and it's understood that the majority of experienced users have broken the same laws in similar ways in the past. Some people don't trust any of it and insist on being furtive. Product has to, by law, leave the building in specific packaging. Some people are scared by the big mylar bag that fits the requirements hate that they can't stash a disposable vape up their ass in their sleeve or pocket. We jump through all the hoops so they don't shut us down. Adoption rates and demographics are weird too. I sell to a bunch of, let's say difficult, old conservatives. They tend to avoid me when they can... But also a ton of just older folks in general. I love teaching old ladies who really want to learn about weed. And that was instant with recreational legalization. A year ago I was ordering weed on the darkweb and getting by on alt cannabinoids. Everyone I worked with were stoners (my old job at a cheap motel) but it wasn't safe to discuss or assume in general. Feeling out who at work might also use weed was a way of life eight months ago. Now people who don't respond well to opiods are being sent to us by their doctors. It's strange, but it's great.

After a long day, usually just extra thc in one form or another. After a long week, I need some walking with headphones time. I walk or run around the neighborhood listening to music, thinking and feeling. When the weather allows, I bring the dog with me, but he can't take the heat like I can. It's something with the rhythm of my motion and the rhythm of the music and the rhythm of my thoughts. It really resets me.

I'm exhausted, but it was a good day. I work 10-11hr shifts Friday and Saturday. It's prime time, and I like to be in the action. I had no drive thru time and dealt directly with customers all day, which was fun, even if I did get a little slap happy and over-caffeinated by the end. I never get tired of talking about weed. Apparently most other dispensaries aren't as personal and hands on as we are. Idk I just shop at home and live a walkable life. I got some cheap in house edibles to kick my ass a little extra for the night, and now I'm exhausted.

I say the words "shitty skylines" way too often driving around the real world. My city lives and dies on suicide lanes >_>

Yeah, no, it was always the second one.

Thats a neat concept, but it hasn't made it to Playstation yet. I'll keep an eye on it, though. It sounds like a great compromise between my love of watching my little dudes do stuff and her love of getting to know a little township.

I guess I'm actually a strong data point for the four day work week. I have never been psychologically stable on a five day work week. On every five day schedule, I shake myself apart. I end up suicidally anxious and depressed, have repeatedly considered inpatient treatment. I worked four days at my last job and work four at my current job. I was/am the highest performing employee at both of these jobs. I even enjoy the longer hours per day. I get the dip in productivity at hour 5-6 that people have mentioned in here, but I just need a break for lunch and caffeine to have another four or five hours outperforming my coworkers. It's that third day off that I need, the one in the middle that doesn't touch any workday. If I get that one untethered day, I show back up enthusiastic and ready to kick ass. It definitely helps that I genuinely love my industry and job overall (I work at a dispensary, which is very important to me) but that didn't stop my latest attempt at a five day work week from trying to kill me like all the others.

Oohh. I really like the look of Tokyo Xanadu. It kinda looks like the Persona formula with action gameplay, which isn't necessarily bad. I can enjoy a good formula game. As long as the content is high quality, a familiar vessel is comforting. And if anything, action is preferable to long battles. She is not big on turn based and definitely isn't getting through a long game with extended turn based battles. Persona was an exception because you could use elements to hurry most battles the fuck up xd
