Love that energy! That's kind of how I feel about the Elder Scrolls. I can't get into it but I'm so glad there are people who do.

I screamed!

What great news!

Hit me with them thousand needles.

...I'm not that other person's mom.

They took away our pogs.

This is why I love lemmy.

I get all angry on someone's comment, and someone else has already made my point, and better. We're even doing mutual aid in comments!

I can't speak to most people but I have dyscalculia.

I like the cut of your gib.

It may already be too late for you.

It's probably made of that super light material, and if I use too big of a fork, I'll drop rice all over myself. Or get too big of a mouthful.

I'm glad someone on the internet finally figured out that we all have rules about forks. Every ND person I've met has a fork rule. My fiance (ADHD) and I (ADHD also) have two sets of silverware- one for him, and one for me, and then we have the weird loose ones from either set that were imperfect in meeting our demands.

I have an answer for this that's from my personal life if that's helpful.

I've lived either in the great plains or in the rural south my entire life, and I only found out a year ago you can pay $20 to rent a pickup truck. So up until that point, I thought, every group (of friends or family) has to have a person with a truck in it, in case someone needs to move, or in case of an emergency (like a tornado effing up their house and now you have to clear the property).

When I found out that renting a truck is so cheap, I was so mad! All that time wasted paying extra for more car than I needed! I prefer something small and cheap and efficient, personally, but so does everyone else I know so I always wound up with the truck. (And I helped a LOT of people move over the years as a result.)

Obviously this is n=1 but at least it's my story? And my answer is legit, "ignorance and being too poor to own my house, and landlords like to jack rent on someone staying in one place every year so you have to keep moving to avoid that needless creep of fees."

It was a term coined by anarchists to describe authoritarians. You don't have to accept a label someone else uses in bad faith.

Yes. Stop asking.

You'd have to give us your address!

The "literally tanks" part is where the word "tankie" comes from. So you do actually understand tankies.

I will never side with authoritarianism, because having supreme control over every aspect of life means that whoever has that control can and will abuse it.

M@te you're on an anarchist instance. Why are you saying "we" for tankies?

Some are, but not most (in my experience).

Way back in the day, the term was used as an insult to describe authoritarian communists. I know anarchists used it.

For today, my understanding is that 'tankie' still means authoritarians, but I've been seeing a bunch of people use 'tankie' as an insult to complain about any leftists.

None of this is at all pertinent to this thread, or to transphobia, or to Ada's action, so it really didn't belong here.

I type like I talk, and I work with folks in a caregiving capacity who respond well to someone who doesn't sound clinical, who maybe talks like just another person in the community, and here in the southern US, that's a specific accent and affectation... So...

I was replying directly to your post. You said you were playing devil's advocate. I was saying, you don't need to.

It's okay you're still my babe!

(Unless you dislike southern US style terms of endearment. In which case you're still my... uh, m@te.)
