If you want to actually protect and serve your community, join a fire department. The police serve the interest of the state and the corporations that lobby it, they aren't here to protect people. Much of your job will be exactly the opposite of helping people as a cop.

You can, in fact, learn to draw things yourself. It's insane to expect artists to work for below a livable hourly wage just because you can't afford it.
I've never really aspired towards a career per se, when I was little I thought I wanted to be a firefighter, but I was maybe 4 or 5.
The most direct way to help people is to give them money. Nitpicking over what they "might" spend it on is horseshit, they know what they need better than you do. Frankly, if y'all were sleeping outside you'd probably want to be high or drunk as well.
I mean... They aren't? Maybe do some cursory research yourself instead of making bad faith Lemmy posts?
Souls games autosave constantly, you can quit out at any time and reload to where you were. The only exception being that if you quit out during a boss fight you'll have to restart.
Every trans person's journey is their own, and ultimately it's about pursuing what brings you, in your life, joy. I don't believe in your god, but I did for a long time, so I understand a lot about christian doctrine, and I genuinely don't think there's any conflict between being trans and being a christian. However, I would posit this: "Biological Sex" is not a nice clean binary, and understanding of it based on the assumption that it is, is flawed. I would encourage you to stand up for your boundaries, for the name and pronouns you want to be called, those aren't lies. Your happiness is more important than other people's flawed views of gender and sex.
I'm sorry, but committing crimes doesn't mean you don't still have a right to be treated humanely in state custody.
I disagree. My phone has perfectly acceptable battery life and a 3.5mm jack, I use it all day and get home with over 40% left every day. I need the jack to use my earbuds at work, and to listen to music in my car - and I'm gonna be honest with you something as small as an adapter WILL get lost by me. Everyone's got a different use case, and it might not be important for you, but your use case isn't everyone's.
eBay. Better not to buy tech new.
I think it's incredibly overrated. Modern games already look incredible without it, so I really don't think it's worth the cut in performance.
The concepts you're sharing aren't slightly right of center, and frankly you're right for getting banned for saying those things. It's very odd to roll up to a social space that is maintained very heavily by left-wing people, and be surprised when we don't let your right-wing "politics" targeting us fly. You shouldn't be surprised when you use a right-wing dog whistle "Israel has a right to defend itself" when Israel is currently committing genocide, and you end up banned. Listen to yourself.
