Really cool! I’m glad that there is a “costume” holiday that encourages people to try things out

Vertical drums are banned due to water overuse but top-loaders with drum doors are indeed the minority

They still give them out at trade fairs. Never seen a USB-C one there

kept being called ugly by my mother throughout my entire childhood

Damn. That’s fucked up. It’s not your fault you “failed” to be a handsome boy. I’m glad you’re on better terms now.

Likely an AI “waifu maximizer”, those are some of the earliest image models such as Stable Diffusion

Miisha gets most of hers from Facebook and Instagram… why think of Pinterest? Do you use Pinterest?!

Wait, this is you? How?!

It’s a common robocall opening in US states where cold calling is legal, and presumably leads to an expensive subscription service

from the size of a chicken nugget to the size of a thanksgiving turkey

Anything but metric

It’s chocolate, don’t worry

Well, since most people I know IRL don’t know that “she used to be a man” is considered inaccurate or hurtful by many, I try to spread awareness… I was pretty sure you were aware but I can’t detect jokes very well so I figured it’s best to just make you feel affirmed and inform others.

Most trans people don’t feel like their gender changed, only their presentation and legal status did… This is an interesting perspective and you may consider yourself genderfluid.

It’s obvious what this means, even if a little simplified. Fuck patriarchy.

No but you can. The incantation is not hard to find: it starts with @, followed by a string containing “Miisha”, another @ and then a Lemmy/Piefed server

A summary of what she previously shared, including on prior accounts: Their sex life is quite fulfilling but he could be more aware of her needs. Accepting her as she transitions is great but there are some things he said and did that made her uncomfortable, and he’s not really the type to offer consolation hugs Miisha often requests virtually (one of the reasons I got her the Blåhaj). I don’t know much from his perspective. Miisha is quite hard-headed but overestimates how mean she is (and internalizes transphobia), a healthier relationship with herself and better handling of emotions is required on her part.

decent emotional intelligence

healthy conflict resolution skills

I’d say she needs more time to grow, actually. (Not gonna lie, so do I.) The frequent “pauses” they take from each other indicate that relationship counselling is overdue (I found her a local, free, LGBTQ+friendly clinic but she wouldn’t go)

It’s ANSI. Unicode hex with Alt must

• be enabled in the registry
• be preceded with a +
• not contain any letters unless you’re fine with what they do in the active program when Alt is pressed, for example Alt+D in Firefox focuses the navbar and selects all

It’s clearly a VFD. And with so many characters (microwaves usually have 4 7-segment digits) and a “MUTE” indicator, it’s likely not the control panel of a microwave.

Just like microwaves, most of them have discharging resistors, and are easy to discharge safely manually by looking up how and being careful.

Many times the fix is simple, like a spuriously blown fuse. And the capacitor that holds charge after unplugged does not for long thanks to the discharging resistor, although best not rely on that and use a screwdriver to short it, even basic ones can handle 2000 volts but extending one with a stick is always possible.
