I am having trouble understanding what you wrote.

I mean it in the sense, you lose the excuse to take a long lunch getting vaxxed. Not that vaccines are bad. I am not a lunatic, anyone who is even remotely pro social and not significantly unhealthy gets every vaccine they can because being a vector is the ultimate cringe.

Fucking riot over that haha, everyone could use the longer lunch.

It's 20 bucks, if you haven't got it and the price is a barrier message me and I'll cover you lmao.

Free would probably be ideal, but realistically people don't get it because they're lazy and don't think of the flu as serious (which for most people, it isn't). It's an education problem, hence the higher rates with oldies.

I'm honestly shocked more jobs don't pay for people to go get it. 1 hour out of the office and 20 bucks and then you don't have a whole week of sick leave. Most bean counters are stupid though, and got their job by doing coke with the right people more than anything else.

So cool that you have to booby trap sites and insert delays and stuff because a handful of rich psychopaths refuse to respect robots.txt

Yeah it sucks. Between crypto and machine learning hardware is absolutely fucked. I'm hoping it'll settle down a bit when people realise that llm's are not going to make god from a machine but we shall see.

Hadn't considered Singapore, assumed it'd be expensive since land is and they're rich as fuck. I guess power is cheap since their billionaires are taking all the gas here and selling it back haha. Compute seems relatively affordable for a RTT of 110 ms.

Probably rules out like fighting games and other similar frame perfect stuff but that's definitely not too bad. 6 frame delay probably isn't noticeable on anything turn based, or many RPGs and the like.

Tell me more of this frankencomputer.

I'm not broke by any means, but lower end of average household income in an extremely expensive place. Groceries have gone up about 4 fold in the last 5 years (50 bucks used to feed 2 for a week, lol lmao now. Beans went from 3 dollars a kg dry to 11 etc) so certain things are on the chopping block.

I was looking at the cost for a "2k" oled monitor and appropriate computer and haha, hahaha, hahahahahahahaha I have medical bills and shit lmao. Not paying like 3-5k to play the 1 or 2 increasingly bad modern games I want to.

Since Google has infinite money they probably ran local compute.

I would have assumed I had a reputation as shit stirrer and trouble-maker ;) if one at all haha.

Yeah, I hope it's just the reactionary stubborness of feeling dogpiled but people have a tendency to work themselves into feeling like righteous martyrs.

We all grow and change, a lot of people have transphobic attitudes and aren't working on software which empowers minorities including trans people, so I hope he will come to realise the silliness of his views. Still pretty sad and gross though.

It just really reminds me of the "say Nazis are bad" thing that happened which outed how shitty he was to the masses.

I'm on team support lemmy development but I think it's pretty clear that nutty here thinks trans people are gross. At least he isn't actively working to make our lives worse though /shrug.

Real notch moment mate

I just logged into this one to check this instance. the vtc one has less federation which is good for mental health, bad for large discussions. Also using either vtc or hexbear gets people doing the "ahhh you're a tankie" thing eyerolling I was working with the extremely lib greens party over the election here haha. Anarchists, MLs, and Libs can all call me a traitor!

Been busy, mate went through shit, going back to grad school to change career, local action group started and then died because of flaky people (<3 my anarchist comrades that are so against hierarchy even scheduling is too oppressive haha. Seriously I do although it's very funny and fail).

Extremely hinged post as usual. Even in light of the transphobia/non apology it is worth pointing out lemmy is one of the only places we can connect and discuss things like DIY hormones without censorship or corporate surveillance.

Lemmy dying for lack of maintenance will not help us in the struggle for equality.

My guy all people want is something like: "Sorry, that message was thoughtless and doesn't reflect my views any more. I was ignorant of the struggles of transgender people and recognise that gender identity and expression does not fit into a neat binary. Trans people are valid."

Australians are the worst

• signed a terrible Australian

Pretty similar, I had forgotten the name of Jess's book. I think hers focuses more on legal stuff in Australia iirc and less on the personal psychology but it's there too.

They're both using the same body of knowledge.

So if you read that book, or look into any of the research behind DV you will learn that it's not really a problem women can confront at the source because the psychology behind it is one which fundamentally views women as inferior. In the same way if someone is racist somebody from a group they hate is unlikely to meet with much success trying to change their views (at best probably getting recognition as "one of the good ones") women talking to men about why we're actually whole-arse people doesn't work very well.

Aside from trying in vain to get men to learn literally anything about why DV happens and why they can actually make a massive difference talking to their mates and setting norms for acceptable ideas about women at work/at the gym/at the club etc it's not really in my means to donate to a shelter or whatever. I do volunteer for the greens around elections.

That said, being a woman in society there's the sort of basic keeping an eye on things. Making a point to chat with neighbours, hosting drinks, sharing food etc that gives you a bit of a chance to have a network of support for people, victims tend to hide the harm believing themselves to be at fault so there's not a good chance you'll actually know. You can call a welfare check on a house if you hear a nasty fight but it's unlikely to do much.

The left doesn't want you to know this but 100% of leftist women are dommes

I do note an interesting difference in your approach to how to handle DV vs how to handle someone stringing a wire across a bike path. It may be a contradiction you wish to reflect on.

You might want to read this book to get a better idea behind the psychology of DV.

I'm not trying to have a go, I'm trying to understand. I agree that feeling shut out and having people say awful stuff because of your gender is bad. Surely you see that women deal with this too right though? and extremely extensively.

If you look at the upper echelons of society women are not there, if you look at the trades women aren't respected, in corporate life women routinely feel like they have to get a man to say their ideas to be taken seriously. When I worked tech support I signed my emails with a man's name because otherwise customers argued with me (this wasn't me being ridiculous, my boss asked me to start doing it because he got annoyed reading the tickets going overtime).

So it's like, surely having experienced some of it you get that all of it is bad right? You wouldn't arrive at men being under attack, but rather gender equality being important so nobody feels this way.
