"Phone-y" I see you OP.

I have no data to back this up, but I would guess that no, they are not. It's not that racists are immediately disgusted by the actual skin color or features of other people. Racism is a learned behavior that "others" people that are not in your "tribe". You can also often tell if someone is a different race, by their accent, the way they speak, or the way they act. A lot of racism is based on stereotypes and tribalism, and the excuse of racists is that their dislike is based on their actions and culture, not their actual race. I also suspected that, though many blind people are very social and lead fulfilling lives, on average they are probably more used to being shut ins, or at least limited to a small amount of familiar areas. And the best cure for racism and xenophobia is travel. So yeah, I'd say that balances out the potential loss in racial discrimination based on not being able to actually see the person.

It's usually pretty subtle. People will quietly lose respect for you and shut you out over time, or just gossip about you behind your back.

That being said, I dont give a shit about people's perception of my manliness or sexuality. I'm straight, trained in martial arts and boxing, own guns and know how to use them, can fix things around the house decently well, moderately know my way around car repairs. But I'll be sensitive and open with my feelings if I want to, which is frequent. I cry at weddings, funerals, sad movies, and even when I think about how lucky I am to have my wife. I joke about kissing the homes goodnight, and flirt back with gay dudes that hit on me (without leading them on).

I'm often DISAPPOINTED in people for how they react and judge sometimes, but always happier when those people remove themselves from my life. I don't fawn after the approval of random assholes, be they male or female, and I never let it affect who I am. That's what manliness actually is about: self actualization.

I've never done drugs or drank alcohol. I used to get a little too obsessed with hyper fixations when I was younger, so I figured that wouldn't end well. I'd probably be fine now but like...why at this point?

I've been on a soda and coffee kick recently but I routinely cut it out completely and I'm usually the better for it. I'll be heading back to the gym soon after not having time so it'll probably be then. My body feels weird if I'm exercising but eating/drinking garbage Might have headaches for a few days depending on how bad your caffeine or sugar addiction was.

M'lady

No but for real, that was one of the main reasons it took me so long to test Fedora. I associated fedoras (and Linux in general) with sweaty basement dwellers for many years. Not to mention "red hat" has a different connotation than it did in the 90s. Yeesh. But I'm glad I got over it, Fedora works the best for my needs and Linux isn't nearly as hard as it's made out to be. Might try Cachy at some point though.

I am curious to know what features you're referring to. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm relatively new to the Mac train after all and I tend to not be as plugged into the Apple community because uh...well you know. The only thing I've heard is some people not liking liquid glass for a potential performance hit, but I haven't seen any tbh. They're also dumping Rosetta soon but I think it's been a reasonable enough amount of time.

You know, over the last few years, I've gained a begrudging respect for Apple. They really care about UX, Ui, build quality, OS efficiency, battery life, and they're even the best value proposition at several price tiers. I main Fedora and GrapheneOS at home, yes, but I enjoy macOS and iOS at work. macOS has some of those key professional applications that haven't made it to Linux yet.

Apple is a pretty easy 2nd place in most areas, 1st for laptops specifically. Windows & ChromeOS can fight for 3rd but they're miles below macOS and Linux.

Oh there's plenty of people out to get the average person. It's just almost never the scapegoat that a political party selects.

Wait a sec, I thought it was if someone on your instance subscribes to A community in another instance. How is the first person supposed to find a specific community without discovery?

Oh my God, you can't just ask someone why they're not white

Sorry to say that I don't have much of a preference unless you're in a specific mood. They're all good games but do different things narratively and I dont know if gameplay or cut scenes make you want tk really dig into it more.

Definitely both
