My brother in laws little sibling is pretty autistic and has a history of being semi-trans-not-understanding..? He saw someone who is a trans male and started HRT a few months ago (i.e. does not fully pass yet) and when he saw the trans man and was told that he was a man he said "but he looks like a girl..?"
for context my brother in law is ALSO trans and has been fully out and passing for like 5 years (beard n all), so he should've understood what it was like for 'trans man' to be like his brother.
He's done this with a nonbinary person too, but tbf most people don't understand how nonbinary works without autism.
What I'm trying to say here is that there's a difference between hate and not understanding. Sounds like the person you're talking about is being hateful, so have no shame in cutting contact.
Also if you don't feel comfortable with someone you don't need an excuse to yourself to justify leaving.
I went to Philadelphia and there were hardly any places to get water at all. There were always stores selling water bottles literally $8 in one instance around nearly everywhere you looked
I learned someone's name at work yesterday. We've been at the same location for like 8 months... and we have nametags...
biblically accurate computer

not really but close enough 😭
I use it pretty sparsely, and it's stuff that's simple but if I were to google I'd get a whole 10 page essay about filled with ads.
For example here's some of my recent searches, the span is like ~2 months back.
- XXL and 2X being the same thing.
- Rainbow Minecraft MOTD server text.
- Script to find all the schematic files in my ~30 nested files and copy them to a new folder
- how to get cat hair out of clothes
- some legal supreme court thing from the 1800s
- creative commons CC-BY-SA explanation (their website didn't explain what the abbreviation of "BY" was)
- how to unlock my grandad's truck with the code
- "can ghosts be black" (????? I think I was in a silly argument on discord)
- how to read blood pressure
- scene from movie where I forgot the movie
- how to draw among us in desmos calculator as a joke
If we're talking about how it SHOULD be, the educational system to properly teach kids knowledge about life and not encouraging cheating (which a teacher has implied to do before) on some math equations.
never required and still do not require a phone
If your teacher does their job and teaches, sure. In the modern age where the teacher just tells you to "google it" then you DO Google it and it's blocked, yes you DO need a way to get information related to your studies online.
As an example:
I need to make an essay on a song... that I can't access because it's blocked. Literally today.
Phones are an extreme distraction to the learning process and coupled with social media...
I do agree with your reasoning though. Ideally the schools provided resources would be able to do this. However due to the fact that we have 2 IT guys for 4 schools, 6,000 students assuming similar size, there's not enough people to actually make stuff work.

low-key that sounds like strangling a goose while a cheap subwoofer tries to squeak it's last audio because it exploded

REALLY simple, but "Open Sodoku". It's just a Sodoku app without ads. I'm very bad but it's pretty fun
my grandpa would do that with checkers in the Cracker Barrel store lol
I want to say it's ok and isn't amazing, but I now have over 1,000 hours in it. I think I lost the ability to say it isn't a good game about 900 hours of playtime ago 😅
especially since it's totally different artstyles, not like terraria and stardew
also the text boxes are accurate!
Do you have any proof? A photo of a history book or newspaper would add credibility.

Stop dropping your phone on the fucking train
Every morning I clock into work, and 12 hours later I clock out covered in jizz because someone dropped their phone while looking at porn and turned the whole trip into a goddamn gangbang. I can’t take it anymore. I’m literally knee deep in spunk by the end of the day, because all you motherfuckers are apparently lubing up your hands and can’t get a grip. We’ve all had to start wearing blindfolds when we exit the front so we don’t accidentally get a peak and start furiously cranking our cocks to “thugposts” or “femboys” or whatever the newest horny fad is.
For the love of god, stop dropping your phone on the fucking train.
by the way heres an extra censored version


Technically legally correct rule


since everyone is now legally female*, I technically am now cis and Elon is a trans male who transitioned 6 weeks after conception.
At least for a while. I'm not sure if the Republicans reversed their braindead decision yet.
*Obligatory, technically it's legally non binary but they only give male or female as an option and genetics are confusing AF and chromosomes don't matter..?

YSK: You can browse reddit with a VPN by using RedLib
Why YSK: If you use a VPN, (which you likely have at some point) you have probably encountered this:

really annoying! Today I had enough and googled a way around it.
Here's the instance that i used today as an example:
https://redlib.ducks.party/
github repo for more information & other instances:
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
It's not possible to interact with any of the information like replying or upvoting, but for simply getting a niche question answered it's pretty helpful.
Not fully related, but I would only recommend it for information that isn't on lemmy, it's best to try to move content over to here if possible.
I kinda want to make some communities for stuff I have to use reddit for, but I mainly use Voyager (mobile) which doesn't have all the options to operate a server and I wouldn't want to get in trouble

TIL "NA" in videogames is short for 'North America' and not 'Non Applicable'
I feel SO dumb right now 😭
I was watching a counterstrike video (I don't play CS) and the youtuber said "...who is one of the best North America players..." while a statistics page showed kill/death, win/loss, etc. But it also showed "NA". This along with the verbal "North America" was enough for the very lazy neurons in my brain finally make a basic connection that those two things are connected. I always assumed it just meant "somewhere we don't have an abbreviation for" or "location private" or something.

Do you use your blinker in a car?
I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol
The only reason I won't possibly use it is when I'm in a turn only lane at a red light and don't want to listen to it for 3 minutes
Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I'm 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it's just what semi-new drivers do or if I'm the odd one out.

A community I'm in prohibited Twitter(x) links and praised mastodon as an alternative.


This is a discord server for the reddit page of nail polish. Yeah it's weird.
Honestly I'm mostly in it for the frog emojis lol
Not important at all but I just wanted to share

"Anomalocaris" rule


I'll explain the joke bc I don't want anyone to take it the wrong way:
::: spoiler Explanation
The joke is literally that her name when pronounced kinda sounds similar to "Anomalocaris" (which is the name of the animal).
Thats the entirety of the punchline.

I wonder how high OOP was when they discovered that lmao

I wanted to get a photo of this birds head fur because it looked really goofy and cute, but it got scared as I was taking my phone out and started to fly away.
I didn't get his goofy head fuzz but I did get an absolutely awesome photo
Hell yeah, little crow.
