most of the times the difference between me and a cis man is not important, so i simply say i’m a man. Sometimes the difference is important, and then i clarify i’m a trans man

90% of the time and most people i meet will have no idea i’m transgender, the other 10 are doctors, people i want to have sex with, and those i’ve talked with about trans experiences

arguably that could even be more difficult. I’m pretty sure in South Korea they have to keep North Korean escapees separated from everyone else for a few months as they introduce them to technology, re-reeducate them, and teach them how to live in a regular society.

The culture shock and sudden information overflow can easily cause someone to shut off and refuse to take anything new in

hi, i’d like to unread your post please

homophobes think about gay sex a lot huh?

tap on it and turn on the HD view, helps

could be good old photoshop. First results doing a reverse image search show 2022, which was well before the AI boom

after the goose comes a swan, which though bigger, tougher, and stronger, has chilled the hell out a bit

after a swan then comes the Canadian goose, which even though it appears to be a return to goose, it’s actually the might of a swan, and the rage of a 100 regular geese

it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we’re living in

but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don’t think there’d be that many trump supporters

get strawberries

get cream (or cottage cheese)

get sugar

get pasta

toss them in a bowl & mix

done! :)

pasta with strawberries is yummy :3

honestly, this is not a terrible idea

if you see someone at the verge of a panic attack that means they’re fully in their head spiraling - you can try to calm them down the normal way, but you can also try to force them out of their own head and ground them by saying something weird, ideally a question so their mind can latch onto it. It won’t always work, but it might shock them just the right amount to ground them!

don’t remove all the poop, and don’t clean off all the pee

rodents mark their territory with their smell, i’ve seen my rats sleep like cozy babies on a pissy blanket so many times. If you remove all their smell, that just makes them work harder to poo and pee on everything to get the smell of home back

364!

this is not about wanting this is about companies taking advantage of vulnerable people who should be grieving. This can cause lasting psychological harm

you might as well be saying, if someone came to a drug maker, and wanted some heroine, and provided ingredients for heroine, and agreed to whatever costs were involved, isn’t that entirely their business?

and yet, the “genius inventors” keep creating Torment Nexuses

wow, so many reasons

• to create a mimic of a person you must first destroy their privacy
• after an AI has devoured all they’ve ever written or spoken on video it will then mimic such person very well, but most likely still be a legal property of a company that made it
• in a situation like that you’d then have to pay a subscription to interact with the mimic (because god forbid you ever get actually sold something nowadays)

now imagine having to pay to talk with a ghost of your loved one, a chatbot that sometimes allows you to forget that the actual person is gone, and makes all the moments where that illusion is broken all the more painful. A chatbot that denies you grief, and traps you in hell where you can talk with the person you lost, but never touch them, never feel them, never see them grow (or you could pay extra for the chatbot to attend new skill classes you could talk about :)).

It would make grieving impossible and take constant advantage of those who “just want to say goodbye”. Grief is already hard as is, a wide spread mimicry of our dead ones would make it a psychological torture

“was outed as”

i’m not defending Mr. Beast here but from what i’ve read the friend of his, Ava?, was only accused of that, without any actual evidence, and even the person she allegedly groomed came out in her defence. Seeing as she’s a trans woman and the right wingers are trying very hard to paint every trans person as a pedo i’m skeptical if those accusations hold much water

it feels like every other celebrity is getting accused of grooming, which is either a plague, or the definition of “grooming” has drifted to include “an adult that has conversations with teenagers”

but do we have 10 barely working calligraphy pens? 🥺

collecting trinkets is so fun

i wish temu wasn’t run on slave labour, there’re so many little trinkets there
