Honestly even your average tech bro isn’t doing as well as they “should” be. Mass layoffs and unreal churn in the tech industry mean that while tech bros are perhaps less affected by inflation than your “average joe” in some other sector, its still the ceos and that lot who are winning.

Gender is a very personal thing. You don’t get to tell someone they’re trans - some nonbinary folks do not consider their identity to be a transgender identity and that’s entirely valid. You can dive as deep as you want into the technicalities of the transgender umbrella, but at the end of the day these are words we are using to describe ourselves and if “myself” does not align with “transgender” then anyone insisting that it does align is misguided at best.

Aaaaaaalllssso you can fuck around with gender within your AGAB and not consider yourself non binary. Femboys are valid and many are cis. There’s probably some transmasculine femboys out there!

I was very much hoping that this was like “Skeletor is a bad guy and is saying this thing which is implicitly wrong and harmful”

Edit: nope, her post history is a fucking trash fire. She truly believes this.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I think the meme is an exaggeration of the situation for comedic effect. It just looks silly at first glance, I don’t believe the OP is kept up at night by this, and is rather making a remark about how it doesn’t instantly feel intuitive as a result (to use the 20 Celsius water example, its the same kind of momentary “wtf?” as 40 Celsius water not being twice as hot as 20 Celsius water. After a moment you remember “oh derp yeah we’re missing 273.15 kelvin in this picture lol”)

I don’t think this was shared because people are finding it a “challenge” it just looks funny.

It takes all of a few seconds for your actual mathematical processing to kick in and you go “oh yeah duh” but its just a funky little string of numbers.

It lives in the same camp as how none of the >3 whole multiples of 17 feel like multiples of 17. 68? Preposterous.

But this isn’t “half of a quarter” this is “the reciprocal of a half, of a quarter”

Half of a quarter is 0.25/2 or 0.25*1/2

Or, you know, we could not have a dictatorship. Granted, pretty much every large country in the world is struggling with that step right now.

“Every state is necessarily a dictatorship” good gracious me what a horrifying sentiment

GrapheneOS supremacy

Yeah I realised after a while. What a sad human.

Are you referring to me? I wouldn’t touch tiktok with a 10 foot pole, or any of the infinite scroll short form video things for that matter. I’m not on twitter either. Or tumblr.

My POV is based on my personal experience and the experiences of women around me. And statistics!

Your comment was clearly not from a position of wanting to understand.

The man is not “by default” a serial killer and sa, its just a possibility I don’t want to entertain.

And yes, hello, I am normal person. I understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone. I also know how hard it is psychologically to SA someone. And yet…

This is a “this is the option I would take” situation. I didn’t insult anyone, I didn’t say YOU have to take the bear. If you disagree, that’s perfectly okay, but you can’t tell me how I should feel, despite many men thinking that’s acceptable.

Yes! As opposed to the man, who would SA me and then kill me!

“If you change the context, the context changes”

What the fuck did I say about black men? White men (men, regardless of race, for that matter) scare the fuck out of me my guy

E: You wouldn’t happen to be a… man would you? Would be very fitting with the whole “derailing a conversation about women feeling unsafe” thing.

I am unironically bearpilled in this context. Men can be fucking scary with women. At least I’m unlikely to be SA’d before I die, with the bear.

As someone who is very much inside the queer bubble, and who thinks pluralkit is an essential tool to have in any discord server that considers itsself accessible or queer friendly: I strongly disagree that its the feature preventing FOSS alternatives from taking off. It could be a small factor in a sea of small factors, but I’d wager over 50% of discord users have never even seen PluralKit.

Pixel with GrapheneOS - no contest. Been my daily driver for ages and I have no complaints in the slightest
