A few years ago I bought 2x8 GB ddr4 for about $40 and now they are being sold for $120. And I naïvely thought that I could just buy 2 more sticks if I ever need more. (I primarily play indie games so 16 GB is still plenty for me unless I want to play oblivion or something)

Alternatively you can also right click, press Inspect, and then edit the HTML, which will look perfect and also not actually change anything.

Basically yeah

I don’t think she is referring to what the pictures are of, but rather that the ambiance of the pictures invoke horror. Like the harsh lighting and camera angles make it seem like it could be from a horror game or movie. While they are just pictures of a house, they still feel strange.

I think a big reason why work feels bad is because in many jobs the surplus value of your labor is being stolen by the executives. When you put in effort to personal projects that feels good because you are actually getting to reap the rewards of your labor.

People like doing stuff that’s useful, not just for ourselves but for others as well. What we don’t like is being exploited.

I love how she’s just putting them in her kitchen fridge. Imagine having to spend your winter sleeping with a jar of mayo…

Yeah sorry I actually lied earlier. I am really a 40 year old neckbeard living in my mom’s basement. /s

I was 13 in 2016. Believe it or not, many different people are on the internet.

I am not proud of it, but I used to be like that when I was around 11 to 13. Seeing right wingers bully the pokémon go kid turned me away from them and now I’m a socialist.

I did loathe myself so much back then. I know now I was experiencing gender dysphoria but I didn’t know what it was then so it just made me confused and angry. I learned about the existence of transgender people from transphobes which just made me hate myself more.

So yes this a definitely a thing. I am not sure how you would discover this about someone while they are still in the self loathing stage, but I know of people in the self acceptance stage (myself included) who have talked about how they were like that in the past.

Extremely good boys :3

Thanks for the suggestion! I know he didn’t coin the term but he did write an article on his website trying to get people to use it. He definitely did grab it from the past but either didn’t realize or didn’t care that it has fallen out of usage.

I wasn’t alive in the 90s and I wasn’t aware of trans stuff until I started exploring my gender in 2019 so as a result I am kinda ignorant of the way things were in the 00s and earlier. I really don’t see things like trans* and trans+ being used today, similarly to how you don’t really see people using antiquated terms for transgender either.

Today what I see instead is trans and GNC (gender nonconforming) which serves the same purpose of being a broad umbrella term but is more accurate.

As a computer nerd myself, the wildcard aspect makes me feel like trans* includes things like transportation and transghwujdjrudndndjjd which I don’t like.

Anyways, its not up to cishet person to decide what term should be used to refer to transgender and gnc people. I have a unfinished project, which is a website compiling a bunch of info and resources for trans and gnc people. I came across the genderbread at some point but I decided to research the creator before adding it to the site and that is how I discovered the above info about him.

itspronouncedmetrosexual (aka Sam Killerman) is a cishet white man who’s made a career out of speaking over marginalized voices.

He did not create the genderbread person but he chose to slap his name on it anyways.

He also tried to popularize the term trans* despite not being trans himself nor having the approval of actual trans people. (Trans* is a useless term since trans already includes all trans people. Trans* causes people to falsely think that trans is an uninclusive term)

Here’s a tumblr post for the plagiarism claim You can also find stuff by just searching for “sam killerman controversy” or similar. The other stuff you can find on his own website.

Edit: It seems like my Lemmy client is confusing Tumblr links for Lemmy instance links so I’ll just post it again below just in case.

100% some people are genuinely shitty people and their behavior would happen even if society wasn’t misogynist, classist, etc.

My goal wasn’t to alleviate them from responsiblity. I do not believe it is their fault for growing up in a society that is against them, but it is their fault for not thinking crtically and choosing to perpetuate that hate once they are an adult.

Also I was thinking of abuse on a societal level, not an individual level, but that does contribute. (I probably could have used a better word. I do agree that abuse implies individual rather than societal.) I find the fact that so much misogyny and other hate exists within the overton window to be repulsive. Trump said “grab her by the pussy,” (plus a bunch of other terrible things) and got into the oval office not once, but twice, which shows that society has a major problem with finding hate acceptable. Why people find that hate acceptable I imagine varies between demographics.

I still do stand by my previous comment, which is my thoughts on why specifically women voted the way they did, although I agree it has room to be expanded on more.

I think a major part of it is that people simply aren’t thinking things through enough. They should be questioning society’s misogyny, racism, etc, but for some reason they choose to accept it as normal.

Abuse towards women is unfortunately so normalized by society that I bet most of those women don’t realize how much they have been manipulated since childhood to be against their own autonomy, especially if they grew up in a religious environment.

It’s possible that women of minority demographics voted more blue because some realized how anti-(their specific minority) republicans are but, just like the white women, weren’t put off by republicans’ misogyny.

I’ve actually seen a few and I personally don’t have a problem with it. I have also seen a lot of trans men on lesbian apps and technically, they should be on straight dating apps, but queer dating apps are more welcoming and it’s not an uncommon experience for transgender people to get banned from straight dating apps unfortunately (I myself am banned from tinder). I wouldn’t be surprised if those apps were also banning femboys as well.

I’m a trans woman, but I went on grindr to search for femboys one time since there aren’t really any on lesbian apps and I got so many unsolicited dick pics + one gaping bussy pic that I just left and never came back. And I was only on there for like 5 minutes. I don’t know if those dick pics were from bots or not but I’ve stopped using dating apps cause it seems every single one gets me either a bunch of bots or a bunch of dick pics.

Yeah it’s broken now. It was working earlier so it must have just recently been removed.
