Nimarata, because she is against trans kids using names of their own choosing, so she gets called the name her parents gave her.

Edit: Incidentally, I am iffy on this stance. If you'd care to attempt to change my mind about it, in the spirit of personal growth, I'd be open to hearing your opinion.

Likely a link to their corporate sponsor, Sprite.

They just swapped the C for a K and a craven person is contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly.

I like it.

I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised by Lemmy. I almost never see anything but antifascist allies, and when I do those allies jump that motherfucker's shit.

...say, how'd you like to make $500 after you finish with the pool, James?"

Not sure if you were hypothesizing or if this is something Alito's pool cleaner actually admitted to doing as I haven't been following this story much, but...when justices legislate from the bench, their word (and, by extension, those they employ) is worth absolutely fucking nothing.

"I do not claim ownership of the song used in this video."

Good, because you'd be a lunatic if you did, JazzMasterZero, but it doesn't change the fact that you are still using someone else's art in your monetized and shittily-edited dog trick compilation video.

radicalautonomy ,

Yeah, but in exchange for their $500 fine, they get the "moral victory", they get to feel as persecuted as they want to be (read: "aren't"), and they get a cool story to share with mayonnaise people on their divorced middle-aged white guy fascist gunnut forums. We all have our hobbies. Mine is Rubik's Cubes.

radicalautonomy ,

Came here specifically to say this, well remembered us.

radicalautonomy ,

One of my favorite bits of trivia.

radicalautonomy ,

If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no.

A very common phrase is polyam circles. I'd recommend reading literature by and for polyamorous people if you still find yourself curious, but hesitant. Thorntree Press has a good selection of books to choose from. Also, seek out polyamory groups in your area. There are FB polyamory groups in just about every major city that usually aren't too hard to search for, and those groups will often have a monthly munch which would afford you the opportunity to ask questions of a variety of people who live that relationship style.

It's a much bigger red flag if they hate everyone they've ever broken up with.

"And what's the common thread here?"

I find it very promising when someone I date, when they reflect on a past relationship, is willing to admit the mistakes they made which led to the breakup and highlight the positive steps they've taken to rectify those shortcomings to become a better person and not cause future partners the same hurt. Very sexy, that.

radicalautonomy ,

And they definitely need to make the spaces squares.

radicalautonomy ,

Yeah...I like money, though...

radicalautonomy ,

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

Regarding point #2:

I am very particular about whom I allow into my circle of trust. That last 6% doesn't seem like much, but it is to me; if you don't believe every Nazi has a backpfeifengesicht, think capitalism should be "tweaked" instead of demolished, or complain about BLM or Pro-Palestinian protestors causing damage, then we're not gonna be best friends.

That being said, that 6% isn't nearly enough for me to consider you the enemy. Billionaires and the fascists they inspire are the enemies, and no attempt they make to divide and conquer us will ever be successful. I will march and scream alongside you in favor of the 94% we have in common.

radicalautonomy ,

It wouldn't have been hard to just include those last three percentages.

I'd support a four-term limit for the Senate, six-term limit for the House, and one term in the Supreme Court for a period of time not to exceed 20 years.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention ( www.theguardian.com )

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

I support a life-term prisondency for him.

Welp...I was gonna visit NOLA one more time before moving from Texas to Oregon this summer and leaving the Deep South once and for all. But, as a public school teacher, I have to say this is completely and utterly monkeyfucked, and Louisiana isn't getting a thin-ass dime from me.

radicalautonomy ,

I spend money in New Orleans, sales tax is collected, which is appropriated in Baton Rouge. That will not be happening.

radicalautonomy ,

Yes, because this was exactly my thought process. 🙄 Keep licking boot, mate.

Guillotines exist for a reason.

What are things considered romantic, to be avoided in a relationship?

My partner and I just had a talk about it. Basically, she celebrated her birthday today. I was on her party, and it was fun, but I left after around 2 hours to get home and relax a bit. After I arrived, a friend of mine texted me and asked me if I wanted to go to a lake and see the sunset. I agreed, we went to the lake and went...

radicalautonomy ,

You didn't do anything wrong, I don't think. Your partner has every right to feel hurt. She has feelings...she's a human being with human emotions, and they are telling her that she should feel hurt right now.

But it is each individual person's responsibility to dig into why they have the feelings they do and not blame others for those feelings when it wasn't warranted.

  • Did she communicate to you that she wanted you to spend the entire evening with her on her birthday, and did you then agree to do that only to bounce early and then end up going to hang out with a friend instead? If so, then I'd probably feel less than important, if it were me, and Iight be questioning how important our relationship is to my partner.
  • Did she not communicate such a desire and is now indicating hurt by you spending time with a friend the same night as her birthday party? If so...if you didn't commit to spending the entire evening with her on her birthday...them she doesn't have a right to blame you for her hurt. You have a right to decide how you will spend your tiem and with whom, and if she wanted you to be at the party the whole evening, then she should have asked.
  • Or is it really more to do with her feeling jealousy and that she thinks you swimming with a friend is bordering on cheating (assuming you are monogamous together)? If so, then that is something you two will have to discuss together, to hammer out a relationship agreement in which you dig into what you will provide from the relationship, what you need from it, what you want from it, and what the dealbreakers are. If you've never had such a discussion and she is just assuming that you doing that was not kosher, then she would be in the wrong to expect more of you than you've committed to in your relationship.
radicalautonomy ,

Bad news. This is sound logic, but in NT world, there are all sorts of implied social contracts.

Almost stopped reading here. There is no "NT world". It's just...the world. And it's made up of all sorts of people. I don't give a fuck about implied social contracts in relationships as they are bullshit. You talk together and figure out what your relationship is about. End of.

Not everything needs to be spoken or written down. If I walk into a restaurant but there is no sign that says "please form a line to place your order," I'm not going to barge to the front and begin ordering, because "form a line and wait your turn" is understood to be how society functions.

...this is a gag, right? You're having me on?

What you've written is not unlike a middle school persuasion paper: Written by someone with little understanding of the requisite material while using strained arguments to put forth an air of confidence in their position.

Absolutely stopped reading here.

4 + (6! - 0.5(12^2 + (403 + 1))) = 2(15^2)

Four plus the difference between

The factorial of six and the mean

Of twelve squared and four

Hundred three (plus one more)

Equals double the square of fifteen.

radicalautonomy ,

It do be like that sometimes.

radicalautonomy ,

Did you do it to get your diploma? Or did you do it to maintain membership in the National Honor Society or the Student Council or some such?

radicalautonomy ,

...did what? Not "it"?

As long as at least three out of every five people in your vicinity in an unhinged, egomaniacal racist who is just one criticism away from absolutely losing it, you can go get all of your blood replaced with everclear and then drive yourself home.

"transgender" ≠ "sexual orientation"

radicalautonomy , (edited )

No but it has a bearing on it.

Sometimes. Not always.

If a trans woman is a woman that was born in a male body, and said trans woman finds herself falling for another woman (trans or otherwise), then surely she is a lesbian, as opposed to if she identified with her body which would make for a heterosexual relationship.

She would be lesbian, bisexual, biromantic, pansexual, pansexual, panromantic, omnisexual, omniromantic, or any number of other potential sexual or romantic orientations, none of which have any bearing on her identifying with a gender which she was not assigned at birth. Some trans people find their sexual and/or romantic orientations change after they transition, and some don't.

Jenner complained about wOkE tEAcHeRs turning kids trans. The person I replied to said tongue-in-cheek that their teachers affected their sexuality. To me, this implied that they considered being transgender a sexual orientation. I was simply correcting them.

Or maybe we just throw out the whole idea of orientation altogether, (a) because stuff like the above is just too confusing, especially when extrapolated from this simple case into more complex identities and attractions

This is a very "I don't see color" sort of statement. Lumping all queer people together due to being too lazy to work to understand the nuances of different gender, sexual, romantic, and relationship minorities and the challenges each group faces is akin to ignoring the plights of members of minorities races because it's easier to lump everyone together in a "We're all part of the HUMAN race" sort of way.

and (b) nobody cares anyway now that all orientations are considered equal.

I assure you, we queer people very much do care, and all orientations are most certainly not considered equal. Maybe you are fortunate enough to live in a state/province/local authority or country where discrimination against people for their gender identity or sexual/romantic orientations is forbidden by law, or maybe you are just wholly ignorant due to being a cishet person and can't be bothered to learn about discrimination when it doesn't affect you. Whatever the reason, you are grossly misinformed, and I do hope you are uncomfortable enough that you choose not to remain that way.

radicalautonomy ,

No, they were correct.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

Barbieless

radicalautonomy ,

They are being genuine. It is a terrific analysis. You are exactly right; in their minds, they are "normal", and anyone implying any sort of equal status between them and the "abnormals" pisses them off.

radicalautonomy ,

Agree totally, but just FYI "cisgendered" isn't a word (nor is "transgendered").

radicalautonomy ,

Are they ill-tempered?

I had this exact poster hanging in my classroom when I taught fourth grade in 2005-2006.

You have to get a second job in order to be able to afford to exist in this shit society.

What you need to do is rest, create as it suits you, and have the time to enjoy being a human with other humans who love you.

Edit: I don't get the down votes. I'm advocating for an overhaul of the system in which we all have the time to not spend every last bit of energy we have hustling just to be able to afford a roof over our heads and can use it instead to enjoy living.

radicalautonomy ,

Oh, no...we do. My best friend is a millennial, I'm an xennial, and we worry as much as Gen-Zers do. Well...I don't necessarily because I have an in-demand career as a high school advanced math teacher, but I do worry like hell about retirement. My friend, though, while having a full-time job, they have almost no savings and would be one crisis away from homelessness if it weren't for the people in their life who care about them.

Ah right, those very famous things. 🤨

I've been teaching in Title I schools...elementary, middle, and high school...where about 70% of students come from low-income households for twenty years. Not only are you dead wrong, your prejudice is showing.

radicalautonomy ,

"Kids are being raised by kids" is shorthand for "poor, inner city students". Don't feign ignorance. You knew very well your implication.

radicalautonomy ,

I have. My ex's mother was named Karen, and she was 100% Karen. Bigoted to the core. But I hear ya.
