I block pretty freely, on all social media. Being both trans and religious means that people on any part of the political spectrum might think I'm subhuman, and I don't see the point of engaging when that's the case.

Them's pants

[–] EponymousBosh@awful.systems 2 points 5 months ago

Phone in right front, keys in left front, wallet in back right. If there's only two pockets, keys and wallet go together in left pocket. If I have a bag I might toss my keys in it but I probably won't. If I'm wearing a jacket or coat then the keys and phone will probably end up in the left and right pockets, respectively, but I will still reflexively try to find them in my pants pockets and then go "oh wait, right."

Yarvin doesn’t think Trump has the guts to pull off a full fascist nightmare.

It physically pains me to say this, but I think Yarvin is correct here. What IS getting done is bad enough, but he's right that you can't really half-ass a hostile takeover, which is what Trump et al seem to be doing. Yes, they're fucking the US systems up, badly, but they're leaving the structures too intact. They're still bothering with things like court cases and gerrymandering. You don't bother with gerrymandering if you're not planning on still having elections, yknow?

I also think Yarvin is correct that Trump and crew will ultimately fail because of it. That's probably cold comfort to the people who have already lost loved ones, or who are dying or going to die because of this administration (and as a trans person myself, I may well be among that number), but it's not nothing.

I use SpiralLinux (basically Debian with some tweaks). I like it a lot! If you want to stay in the Debian/*buntu lineage, consider it.

So basically, trying to figure out whether someone is actually being altruistic is just the poisoned chalice bit from The Princess Bride, forever

It might be another food allergy as well. I have skin reactions to dairy, and it took me years to figure it out because a) it's a slow reaction (6ish hours after I eat it), and b) I also assumed it was something my skin was coming into contact with

And in keeping with the OP, I also still eat dairy from time to time. Not a severe reaction, it won't become a severe reaction, and there's still no good replacement for actual cheese, dammit. (Daiya is close enough...sometimes...)

When Brood X happened, I think one of my cats thought I was responsible for the cicadas. They kept bonking against our windows and she'd look at them, then look at me and meow. I tried explaining but I don't think she understood :(
