I'm in, but I can't rule :(

Honestly, I can't say that I have the mental wherewithal to make it happen, either. Historically, I'll stutter, stammer, freeze, and repeat the same vague, useless, and open-ended answers in a few different ways before letting the other party think they've either won or that we've come to a compromise... and then I'll think of just what I would have wanted to say an hour or more later...

Someday, I'll be able to articulate these things in real-time. Someday, I hope that I will have the wisdom and courage necessary to competently dispute anyone who opposes my own personal freedoms. It's hard, though. We're social creatures and I've been cursed with a sensitivity to rejection, so... I've got some stuff to work out first, yeah.

This is the stance I've decided to take. I get to be selfish about this, I get to decide what happiness is to me, and I don't have to justify it to anybody. They're not me and they don't have to live in my body. I'm just gonna transition without any input from anybody else because nothing any naysayer has ever said has been helpful.

Edit: and I don't need to explain or declare my transition, either. "Because I'm a woman," should be plenty explanation enough and I won't hear any word about it.

In Pathfinder RPG, if a gnome goes too long without enrichment, their hair will turn white and they will die.

I'm pretty sure they'd be proud and confused

They should have a rocks glass with a query on it

SELECT * FROM liquor_cabinet WHERE proof >= 120

The need for external validation is a burden, indeed, but you're already on the right track. You got this!

I feel that. It's not perfect, but I started writing down all of my ideas as bullet points just to relieve some of the urgency. I know that I'm likely to forget about them and completely ignore the list, but it really does help, regardless. I use an app called Logseq and I have it bound to a gesture on my phone so I can open it quickly. I hope it works for you.

I'm in the US where it's not mandatory. It's up to the consumer to do the math, just like sales tax.

Well, I meant within brands. Drug packages are the worst. I've seen two boxes of the same drug side by side and the smaller box had more tablets. That is to say, containers can be deceptive. Look at the volume and weight of the product.

Always purchase by volume/weight, not container

I can appreciate this. It's important to do what we can for the betterment of our cousins, but there's only so much energy a person can spare. You're right. I'm checking out of this post and I'll aim to avoid posts like this in the future if I'm not in the headspace to be proactive.

You don't have to flame me for my opinions. This is exactly what I'm talking about: I'm getting flamed for trying to be apolitical about this. I don't think it's too much to ask for political posts to stay in their lane and out of my favorite queer memes community. I should be allowed to feel this way without persecution and we should be able to have a civil conversation about this. Calling my views a shit take isn't productive.

Yeah, it's a pinned post. That didn't go amiss. Cool story, bro, but I don't want to see people arguing about shit here. If this is a shitpost community, stop arguing and get back to shitposting.

The sentiment I'm trying to convey is that I go to specific places for politics, not here. I don't think politics, in general, fits here. I avoid political posts and discussions in non-political spaces because politics, especially in the US, is extremely and demonstrably polarizing. It very quickly leads to toxicity which makes the community more stressful for me. I absolutely do not want to see it here. I would want to see it in a politics community where it belongs.

Politics? On my gay chat???

but bed comdy

Nah, ditch the mouse. Give them a machine with Arch, BSPWM, and Vim.

Good thinking! We'll SIGKILL the whole process group! No descendants, no orphans.

Fine, you got ten seconds to clean everything up after I SIGTERM before I SIGKILL
