People sure do like to act like France isn’t one of the most nuclear armed nations

You sound like an example us irl folk give to draw people away from online only

I’m not surprised it traumatized you, even if you didn’t know the whole situation. Suddenly separating a 7 year old from their mom and brother for 2 months without explanation sounds exactly like the shit that would give long term issues

That was a really hard won battle for the intersex community. I’m 30 and if my intersex condition had been caught at birth (it was very minor and hidden by foreskin), I’m pretty sure they’d’ve moved from pressuring my mom to circumcise to pressuring her to “fix” it.

Theocrats are rarely true believers. We’re headed towards the mammonite theocracy

Because they don’t want the freedom to say what they want, they want to force everyone to listen. Lemmy is terrible for that as we’ll defederate them real fast. I forget who they were but I chose my instance over willingness to defederate from a bigot instance and if I have to I’ll change instances over it

Greening out is something else entirely. Its Marijuana induced nausea

Right up until they hit Germany and you yell about your spine

More than trans girls for certain. Just like every law against trans girls

Honestly I’m starting to forget what feeling like a kid was like. I’m 30 and yeah I don’t have all the answers and shit, but my teenage years were defined by an internal conflict I resolved in college, my relationship with my parents (one died when I was in college the other disowned me when I was in college), and high school.

My college years were defined by the wild shit my previous sentence said I went through at that time, as well as my studies, financial and housing struggles, and a relationship that ended less than a year after I graduated, and I moved away from my hometown after college.

I’m 30, I’m married, I’ve continued growing as a person my whole life and have no intent to stop now, my financial struggles are those of an adult of my generation with a decent career. I don’t really have any of the same problems I had as a kid except like my health and disability issues. Sometimes I have traumatic flashbacks to my teenage years but I haven’t had one in years. My interests have even matured. Sure I still don’t have all the answers, but anyone who says they do is lying to you and possibly themselves, and they may be trying to take advantage of you. I’m not a kid pretending to be an adult, I’m a person, and it turns out kids are too.

Yeah i have a background in human factors engineering and something like that is just asking for unsafe driving. If it can wait until you aren’t driving then all you should see of it is a little notification telling you fo check it when needed.

As someone who drives a car lower to the ground, I want to go to there.

My car doesn’t have any of that fancy crap, but the fuel gage is an lcd and I hate it so much. Like it should be fine, except it just doesn’t work at certain temperatures and I live in an area where that means half the year.

Reagan killed more Americans than the Viet Cong, but since they were queer, drug users, and later black folks it took a long time for people to realize they were supposed to want their fellow human beings to survive

So here’s what you’re gonna do. You test. And you spread factual information. Oh and you protest. Good news is people won’t be frothing at the mouth celebrating your death, getting folks to not celebrate us dying was like half the battle.

Oh and an old prostitute once told me that after enough of her friends died she just broke and walked to another city (like days of walking distance). It’s not a good plan A, but don’t throw the idea out prematurely

And they’ll cry freedom the entire time

Because there’s an underlying implication that allowing teenagers to seek out sexual content on their own is the same as an adult presenting it to them. They want you to feel like they’ll call you a pedo if you disagree with their framing

They’re godsdamned freaks is what they are. Their religion says sex is disgusting and evil. Mine says it’s holy and pleasure is sacred. But neither of us should get to decide the law based on what gods we got. I know that. Jewish Americans know that. Hindu Americans know that. Muslim Americans know it too. And I ain’t seen Buddhists trying to ban alcohol in any city in America, nor shinto folks trying to divert public school money to preaching about amaterasu. Turns out it’s just the Christians round here who don’t get that when your religion says you can’t do something it means you don’t get to do it, but the rest of us are more than free to.

Ain’t the point of a right that it’s protected from the government?
