I haven’t read the book but the more I read about the thesis the more doodoo it sounds. there hasn’t been a “revolutionary transformation”… nothing has killed capitalism, it’s still just capitalism. seems like distractionary lib shit to say it’s actually a secret new thing that’s causing our problems.

i would love a sleepy sylveon but it’s so hard to nab poke centre stuff, always out of stock:( my Eevee is from build-a-bear, maybe there is knockoffs available of the poke centre ones, I’ll have to look around

eevee and smlahaj (small blahaj) (they are friends)

cliche but just go for it and practice until it feels natural to get the shape you want would be my advice. just focus on pulling stray hairs that aren’t in the thicker arch part of your brow and you will work towards a natural femme (or just a cleaner) shape. i don’t go for the super femme either just clean up the stray hairs. there is videos on how to use geometry and shit to do it the “right” way but i got good at it by vibes based practice and it takes a surprisingly short time to gain confidence. you just have to go for it, the worst case is you overpluck them a bit and they grow back very fast anyway

at least two guys i knew in high school are rapists or attempted rapists and at least one abuser. just the ones i know about

also “american democracy” mentioned wowee this is an all timer

“Trans rights” just being a binary checkbox is fucking killing me

you got this friend

it’s an understandable worry, I don’t want to come across as prescriptive or presumptuous but if you’re out I would encourage you to use your chosen name and work on confidence in putting forward your actual identity in situations like that rather than leaning on your deadname, feeling like you have to say you’re trans upfront etc. I don’t know you and don’t want to make assumptions but I’ve seen people who do this stuff in early transition and it often seems to me like a way of undermining themselves. I think the best thing you can do is just roll with putting forward your true self and not make those kinds of concessions preemptively. sure it may lead to awkward situations down the line (believe me I’ve been there with employers) but I think it’s worth the boon in self confidence that comes with fully putting forward your true self and not undercutting.

sorry if it comes across prescriptive or if I made any undue assumptions about you. I just wanna see my trans comrades gaining confidence and to be brutally frank I guess I think putting your deadname and the fact you’re trans on a resume isn’t really a step in that direction.

yeah I’ve never had to use govt name anywhere really I think airline tickets is the one exception. even payment info my bank doesn’t give a shit that it doesn’t match. it feels good to just use your chosen name and you’re entitled to so you should:)

i personally wouldn’t disclose my legal name until I was like, hired and had to do so for payroll or whatever. your choice but I felt more comfortable just only going by my chosen name immediately when it came to that stuff and wouldn’t bother disclosing I was trans at such an early stage of the process either. certainly not something I’d put right on the CV. I don’t live in the US so I’m not really familiar with the specific hiring climate you’re in though, but I would think that would be an unusual thing to do

yeah it’s way better than late got, surprisingly decent show

don’t have high hopes unfortunately. outer worlds was super mid i think this will probably be a bit more interesting but not revolutionary

Liz Franzcak for me lol

dude ventoy fucks i only discovered it this year and now I have a cracked USB stick with multiple Linux and windows boot options, it’s such a useful tool for stuff like disk issues where you need an external boot env to troubleshoot/solve issues on your regular boot drive

dual booting is a great median if you’re not quite ready to let go of windows, which can be for a number of understandable reasons. i encourage you to give Linux a shot though!

i recommend giving it a go at least. honestly these days a lot less shit breaks on user friendly distros like Ubuntu than shit breaks on my windows 10 install which is a constant pain in the ass just to keep stable. when people complain about Linux being a pain I notice they’re often letting windows off easy in comparison because they’re so conditioned to using it. shit breaks on windows all the time people are just more accustomed to dealing with that. and I understand I’m doing the thing you complained about but if you don’t care about AAA there really has never been a better time to switch. with the proliferation of tools like proton a vast amount of games run on Linux out of the box even compared to 5 years ago.

I’m planning on installing Nobara Linux on my main machine when I finish the elden ring DLC and if I like it maybe I’ll try to do a write-up on how to get it setup and working nice, the basics of package management etc because this is something I really, really think is worthwhile but I know it’s hard without a Linux nerd looking over your shoulder to help and we do need more guides for total newbies.

I’ve watched some of his stuff and he seems like a run of the mill liberal American historian, nothing more sinister than that. His knowledge of topics is often good but his trust in American institutions is unwavering so major pinch of salt. He is also an Oswald state department narrative supporter on JFK which is the most wack thing I’ve heard him come out with. I don’t think he’s a secret Nazi or anything just a big lib

Stalin outright supported the creation of Israel. it’s one of his biggest Ls. I think you’re right to take issue with the claim though, the causality seems way off.
