Fucking hell. Like I know Americans don't know that we're the ones who colonized Liberia but come on, the president should.

Different strokes for different folks implies some folks ain't gonna stroke.

So long as they don't treat me less for fucking I won't treat them less for not

Let him go. Folks all the way on bpd bullshit just leave you wrecked until you decide to stay away. Maybe he'll get better, I've had respected friends and partners who did, but it ain't worth waiting for and being broken over and over in the meantime

Well it's good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can't do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people

I had the opposite problem. 5 years and a new gender after high school people were recognizing me basically immediately. Like I looked pretty different…

I've come to accept that it's because I have a large and distinct presence, which is a blessing and a curse.

If you're ever interested in developing more presence, try performing the role of yourself. It's the same as being yourself but you ham it up a bit. Exaggerate the fun bits so the audience in the back can see. I noticed I do that instinctively while trying to learn to blend in.

I quit Facebook and changed my name. The only messages from people I knew in high school are old friends texting to catch up from time to time. It's nice

Fair enough, it will help with loneliness though. And I'll acknowledge it's hard and awkward at first, but it's a skill and it's one I think many people would appreciate developing. It's like getting in shape but for the social part of the self.

Depends on the career. As an engineer I really wish we'd quit our decentralized bullshit and just form a guild or union so that after university you join an official apprenticeship rather than find a job looking for people without experience willing to train. The whole x years of experience is often really asking how much mentorship do you need and are you able to lead projects.

Or go to a bar and say hi to people who are hanging around. Compliment someone's jacket. Tell someone that their whole aesthetic is cool as fuck. Comment on the weather. Become a part of your local environment and interact with your fellow humans. Join a hiking or hobby group.

Work is actually one of the worst places to get your social enrichment. You're significantly more likely to change jobs than cities and your innie is less likely to feel like your true self. Furthermore there's a baseline mental taxation of being at work that doesn't come with being in a social environment. And nobody's going to come up to you at a social event and tell you to get back to work.

People with severe gingivitis. Like if this guy wasn't doing something with moderate effort on a regular basis I'd assume severe depression because cleaning and oral hygiene are things that can fall to the wayside while struggling with depression. But also Jesus man, have some shame.

America has two souls battling and it always has. It's Paine and Franklin vs the southern founders. It's Jefferson vs himself. One soul says we're a nation built on the idea that all people are created equal, with fundamental rights, and that government should be more controlled than the citizens. The other soul looks at a nation founded by genocide and slavery, with early settlers being the puritans after they lost power in the UK and think that's what they think America should be.

Each side considers the other un-American because we want different Americas

I prefer AA for controllers actually. Rechargeable AAs are good these days and you can just swap them out. I actually really hate this trend of integrated batteries in things where it isnt necessary. Yeah we need new form factors of replaceable batteries, but the switch from replaceable and standardized to neither is definitely causing problems and costing us money.

Say what you will about the USSR (and I certainly will) but they did develop and industrialize incredibly quickly.

One of the Wright brothers managed to live to see the end of WWII. Imagine the weird janky flying machine you and your dead brother designed in a bicycle shop in Dayton is being used to decimate Europe while boats full of the things are redefining naval warfare across the whole of the pacific before one drops a weapon so powerful that it becomes the basis of mutually assured destruction

I need some gay chemicals for a water supply. Trust me it will be really funny. The stuff I borrowed from wright laboratories didn't work

That's likely how it used to be done

If you need to regularly scratch your anus get a bidet and some ivermectin

This is fake right. Please tell me this is fake

I've long suspected that most people are at a 1 on the Kinsey scale. Plenty of yall are 0s, but I'd guess you're probably the second or third most common group

Yeah I prefer to think of it as that the most violent enforcers of homophobia are often queer. Gay people operate the conversion camps, straight people send their kids to them at the behest of a straight preacher. The straight people in this scenario have other things on their mind, homophobia isn't their primary concern, but it is one of their concerns.
