Yeah. Whenever this is pointed out I see people saying "oh so you DON'T think it should be cool not to be a bigot? Nice political strategy there", and completely missing the point. It's already not cool to be a bigot, and communities like this one are already reinforcing that with the trans-positive memes. On the whole, so is media made by trans people, and many other things.

So by denying this when they say that, they're implying that "being cool" means even more than that. The implication is that trans people need to be conciliatory and open up their spaces to people that want them dead, and that when they "critique" us we should just sit there and take it but when we critique them it's "thought policing".

It's a completely ridiculous ask, not to mention cowardly that they'll wrap it behind implication rather than just say it to our faces.

me after getting crowsworn (it'll come out before silksong lmao)

omg hiiiiiiii feds hiiiiiiii :3

hold on Raiden can't have you going unarmed

Not to mention that many of them really want what the Republicans are trying to pass, especially when it comes to economic issues, so they can just deliberately not put up much of a fight to ensure Republicans get what they want and so that it looks like they're progressive from the outside.

Look, Biden is unambiguously better than anything the Republicans are offering, and everyone should vote for him in 2024.

But he's failed us so many times now. He broke the railroad strike, he let the Republicans push him around on the budget when the Dems could have passed it back in December when they still had a majority, he let student loan forgiveness fall through, the Dems didn't codify abortion rights when they had the chance (they had a LOT of chances), and while it's good that Dems have actually been defending gay marriage on a national level, they did very little to protect trans rights on a federal level when they had the chance.

So yeah, vote for Biden because that's most likely to lead to the best outcome as far as voting goes. But don't buy into this electorialist lie that we have to back Democrats on everything they do, and that we shouldn't criticize them when they fuck up and flounder in the face of fascists in the Republican party. Don't buy in to the lie that the left is at fault for Republican wins because they critiqued the Democrats. There's more to political action than voting.

fortunately for him, the donkey is a sub and is into that shit

just like in real life

*hyprland

important correction because the hyprland dev is ridiculously active and devoted to the project and he deserves the credit

admins who feel it necessary to try to police people's thoughts

massive self report that you consider the admins saying "don't be transphobic on our instance" to be "policing people's thoughts"

If you wanna use hyprland though, and you've never used Linux before, that's gonna take more than a weekend. If you want a highly customizable desktop that you can still do over the weekend I'd highly recommend starting with KDE Plasma, and going with Fedora as a distro if you don't want to have too much grief with the install (though if you want an easy to install version of Arch, which will probably include some terminal usage for installing apps, starting services etc, EndeavourOS is pretty great as well).

Both of these distros let you do dual booting pretty easily as well AFAIK

once a few years ago

average Wayland hater tbh

It's gotten a lot better. It's not perfect, especially on nvidia cards, though those have also gotten a lot better and for many people are pretty usable on Wayland. At this point if you don't work with video, Wayland is pretty good.

Just so you know, OP took basically one of the most complicated routes, learning all this stuff is entirely optional when it comes to learning Linux

Basically, they're using a custom auto-tiling desktop called Hyprland. When you install it, all you get is a wallpaper and a terminal app. Hyprland is mostly known for having fancy and customizable (if you know what you're doing) animations, so it looks even prettier in motion.

I'm not sure if I would characterize what they said as calling trans women narcissists (the comment they were responding to definitely did though). But yeah, it's doesn't sit right with me either.

Go on, Shadow... Don't you support gay rights?

get in the pod

I need to replay hat in time at some point. It's been so long, and I don't think I played the most recent DLC (I was disappointed by the second DLC)

Oh yeah? Then where are the trikes, huh? HUH? I don't see any.
