It takes time to get to know people and you will probably never know anyone who is really that much the same as you, even if you do have a lot in common. I don’t really do it anymore, because I’m generally quite confident anyway, but I found that the whole thing of “fake it til you make it” really helped me along.
Aww, love. I’m sure you will make some soon. See if there is an LGBT social group near you, I really came out of my shell at mine.
Aww Smorty! You just unlocked a very distant memory for me.
In my last winter “boymoding”, I always wore a scarf. I had so much overwhelming dysphoria that I didn’t know where to even start. I guess that I thought my Adam’s apple was one of those things. I don’t even remember if I even had much of one; I don’t have enough photos from back then to check.
Honestly, back then I was kinda clueless because I didn’t have the kind of friends that I needed or the initiative to choose the right steps for me.
Also like, nerd man culture is dominated by a particularly nasty form of misogyny so its a net gain for society anyway. Take a look at examples of your stereotypical nerd in pop culture for an example e.g. The Big Bang Theory where their misogyny is played off as ultimately harmless or more infamously Revenge of the Nerds. In the real world we have examples like James Damore who wrote the manifesto that complained about women working in tech.
Trans people have always existed and plenty are nerds, just as plenty are goths with how transphobes often say “where did all the goths go?”
I had a conversation about this with a friend who is racially marginalised but white passing a few weeks ago. She is dating a non-white passing person of colour and it seems very frustrating because she doesn’t feel able to talk about it without complaining to someone who has a worse experience of it.
If you want something similar to mpc, mpc-qt is pretty decent
I got into trains because knowing what train is coming at a specific time means being able to pick the one with AC and phone chargers or comfy seats.
I hate BR Class 150 so much. I actually preferred the 142 because it felt so old that it was like riding on a heritage railway. The 150 is just shit.
Dorley?
It depends on the circumstances but most of the time you will want grey. If you are in a big bloc who have experience protesting, know police strategy, have a decent (protest experienced) lawyer and police station support lined up, know each other well, and are likely to do things like break police lines and want to make it harder for cops to identify which person that is, its perfect.
Don’t wear all black, wear non-descript dark clothes. Cops spot people in all black and send out snatch squads
If you are serious about fucking with this thing, I’ve fucked about with it a bit.
It has a CAPTCHA so your best bet is selinium, chromium-undetected and flaresolverr. I’d argue its one of the few legitimate uses of free AIs since it also costs the AI companies money and doesn’t really need much oversight and you want to waste the snitch-line’s time and not your own
Personally if it was me I would:
Have selinium prompt some AI shit to generate fake stories about DEI and scrape them into a flat file.
Hop US VPN (they block international ones)
Have selenium go to the snitch page, enter a fake story and a random, potentially fakered email address. If it needs verification a bit of thought might be necy.
I sang that to the tune of the Taylor Swift song ME
I would argue the issue to be communication. It is his responsibility to communicate his needs with her before violating her boundaries. Its a consent violation at the end of the day.
Men and comphets are wild. The guy cheated on his girlsfriend and he is still panicking about himself and if he is gay rather than the harm to her. Dickhead
It is a feature on a certain transport app and its a pain when running for busses
I could hear you breathing through your mouth as you typed that.
If you know how to script in python, I’d recommend throwing together a script that uses faker to generate fake personal info then throw it into their forms using requests and a post request. BeautifulSoup and Selenium can also be useful. Hop VPN after every cycle.
Emails are a bit of a pain to do it with but I keep a personal list of mailing lists to sign people up to.
More UK specifically, Green and Black Cross are an excellent resource for similar stuff. They have 5 key messages which can prevent legal issues for more generalised protests.
I’m very much not a new Yorker but for my city, those apartments are in the part of town where the marketing companies are and the beauticians are. They are like double the rent of your typical house-share and 1 bed.
