And other people deliberately use all of the “come on man” and “Hey mate” and “Dude is not gendered” explicitly at trans people, because it lets them get away with misgendering. So trans people, who experience that stuff every day, can be a little sensitive when someone does that, even if they aren’t doing it deliberately.

In this case, not knowing the person, and not having access to their pronouns, the comment was fine. But once you know it’s an issue, repeating it despite knowing it’s an issue is a shitty thing to do.

It could easily have been anonymised. The conversation can happen without misgendering someone a second time around.

Literally just edit the person’s name out of the image, and boom, same discussion, but this time without repeating the same mistake

Whatever your thoughts on the original situation, you know her pronouns now, and you’ve directly reposted the thing that got you banned. This time around, you don’t have an excuse. You know that it’s an issue, but you didn’t anonymise the post, effectively sharing the misgendering with even more people

but it works

For some definitions of “works”

The fact that it’s discord…

In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven’t included both your spoken languages and “Undetermined” in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you’re missing

Yep, it was one of his posts referring to implementing his existing approach to AP that I was thinking off!

In Australia, pensions are government issued, but relatively low paying. Superannuation (similar to a 401k) is paid by your employer as a percentage of your pay each year, but generally managed by a dedicated superannuation company. Those companies can and have gone bust, taking their payees funds with them

I’ve lost too many people in my life to suicide, and it’s a really hard topic for me to watch on screen.

So even though I’ve got no use for a hotline, just knowing that the show will center suicide as a theme is important to me being able to decide if/when to watch it.

The Sixth Sense. I didn’t predict the twist because I didn’t know it had a twist, so when it dropped, it absolutely delivered.

Same with Memento, but less so, because I was actively trying to work out what was happening. The twist caught me by surprise, but I knew some sort of reveal was coming

We host instances for trans and gender diverse folk, to provide a space that explicitly puts their safety first.

Take away the idea of an instance as a community/identity/distinct space, and the goal for these places existing is gone. Instead of a community and a safe space, we become a generic bit of hardware that enables transphobes as much as trans folk.

That’s not something I’d be keen to keep sinking my own funds in to to support.

What I’d much rather see is instance based accounts, however, with the ability to take over/migrate them from other instances, so that if an instance goes down, people can still keep their identity. It would also allow instances focused on protecting minority communities to keep doing that.

We’re a stongly social species

Once the player loses, the chain ends, and the house wins. So as long as the house can afford to keep pushing the player in to trying again, they’re going to create more opportunities for the player to return their winnings to the house.

I’ll quote Tim Minchin here

"If you wanna watch telly, you should watch Scooby Doo
That show was so cool
Because every time there was a church with a ghoul
Or a ghost in a school
They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The fucking janitor or the dude who ran the waterslide
Because throughout history
Every mystery
Ever solved has turned out to be
Not magic"
