I often see posts from the LGBT community that make me feel... Envious? Almost like I'm missing out on something. The social stigma of being "gay" for having feelings must've really gotten to me growing up. I feel there's a blockage in my brain and emotions that tells me I can't be a silly, goofy, caring guy, so I default to being quiet and closed off. Almost like my true potential as a person is being surpressed by the thoughts of myself and the beliefs of those around me.
I've thought about it, and I know I'm not gay, but as you describe in your post, there is some kind of societal disapproval around men having deeper emotions that I see in almost everyone around me, especially in myself. My dad and brother never vent, complain, cry, etc. They just wake up, go to work, and distract themselves the rest of the day. I can't remember the last time I had a deep conversation with somebody other than my wife (we fortunately don't have a "traditional" relationship in the sense of this post and can be vulnerable with each other). The last 2 times I've tried to communicate real issues with my dad, I've written real, detailed letters, which went completely ignored, twice.
I completely see what you're getting at. Traditional gender roles DO seem to make love impossible, and the hyper-masculine(?) somehow make an exception to reproduce. At least that would explain why I was born, but my family has shown little care for the mental health or wellbeing of myself or others. It's almost like the societal pressure to get married and have children override the actual feelings of love for others.
And according to the description of the video, the guy was still charged for "unauthorized use of a motor vehicle"...??? WTF. Let the dude go free, he was almost forcibly given a life sentence.
Since the powers that be are making no steps to slow this down... we need somebody to invent a Mega Space Air Conditioner that blow exhausts hot air directly into space.
There is no way open source software could possibly keep up with Google Maps unless it's community-backed by a lot of people. Sure, in a 1 on 1 competition, the one with a billion dollars has an advantage, but in a 10,000 to 1 competition, things start looking a little more even.
That being said, it would be a better use of your energy to take the 5 minutes to add the facility in Open Street Maps rather than complain online about it. Maybe it would help 5 or 10 others with similar issues, and you can feel good about making a community contribution.
Thanks! I used LibreOffice Draw so it was pretty easy to make.
To be honest, it probably would be best to use a VPN to get into your home network to watch the content if you wanna be extra-safe. I kind of just run under the assumption that I can always claim it's my media since it's all downloaded on a separate connection. I suppose if I ever get a notice of some sort, I'll switch over to a VPN, but currently it's working fine for me to have it ran through a domain and makes it a lot easier for family members to use.
I actually just made a little diagram for myself to help with troubleshooting. Hopefully it's helpful for others wanting to automate their movie/show accumulation. I made it a little simpler than the original by taking out the music part of it (lmk if I should share the full thing).
For context, the green boxes are the main server, the grey boxes are running on a Raspberry Pi that's behind an always-on VPN (Mullvad). You search for movies/shows with Sonarr/Radarr, which browses torrent trackers with Prowlarr, and sends the torrent to QBittorrent. QBT then moves downloaded files to the Seeding directory, where they're automatically copied into the media directory. Jellyfin then automatically scans for new content and fetches Metadata to make it look pretty.
Your family wouldn't need to do any fancy port stuff, you'd just need to create accounts on your Jellyfin server and have them log in. All you'd need to port forward is a port for Jellyfin.
edit: I read over the post again and you could definitely take out the whole automated part with Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr and just manually search for torrents and the end experience would be the same for your family, just a little more tedious if you get a lot of requests
I thought I remember a blog post by them explaining how it's impossible to catch up with Google results due to the control they have and money involved, so they have their own indexing service that also pulls from others that they pay for access to (other than Google).
I may be wrong but that's how I've understood Kagi's results as I've used it for the last 2 years...
Government-appointed CEO sounds great if the government appointing them wasn't corrupt. There's no way in hell people would be okay with the Trump admin appointing a new CEO of Facebook.
Okay, so in a situation like this, you wouldn't necessary tell them what you were born as, but what you identify as and what biological parts you have? That makes sense since I guess they wouldn't need to address penis-related issues if you were born a male and surgically transitioned.
I feel like it'd still be useful in certain medical situations to know agab but I'm understanding the nuances a bit more.
Wouldn't it be more helpful for a medical provider/doctor to know what you were born as? As that might contribute to certain health factors of your life? Sometimes it's hard to navigate conversations like this because it does seem like "biologically male/female" is a useful term in a medical setting. Add that on top of the fact that there may be more health complications due to having transitioned, I can't see why that term would be coined "bad" except when used purposefully as an insult, which as somebody said above, is the same situation with the word gay/queer/etc.
As I pass through small, run down towns that are basically fallen apart while traveling for work, I notice an increase in Trump flags & signs. "Trump was right!" "Trump 2028!". It almost feels like a cry for help "somebody please save us!". Somehow they don't understand the reason their town is falling apart is because the rich & stupid people in charge don't give a shit about them.
So I'm definitely not suprised the ones getting fucked by the wildfires are more MAGA-leaning. It definitely fits what I've experienced over the last few years.
I think we may just not view Lemmy in the same way. I don't see these sites as "fun". Sure there are funny memes, but it's also news and meta discussions about very recent topics. If I wanted to open something to have fun it'd probably be a video game or something.
Big tech makes it easy for people to use. They want the biggest and bestest userbases with the simplest interface... Lemmy does not care how big it is, it's all about organic growth, and Lemmy by itself doesn't have a very nice interface. I'd bet most people come here because they want to get away from the others, not because they want to add it to their list of feeds to browse. That being said, people making an effort to get away from the biggest and easiest platforms are probably more likely to put effort in to cater their feeds to their own interests and viewpoints.
Also I must've misunderstood your comment on Patrick originally so that's my bad.
I believe Lemmy has the potential for a wider range of discussion and debate than Reddit, or any other social media platform I've been on, simply because of the defederated & community-based system. The issue, as you describe, seems to be saying the wrong thing in the wrong place, which, to be honest, is similar to the real world. There are a lot of topics people probably shouldn't talk about in public, but it's normally fine for them to talk about in their chosen groups/community. Lemmy just kind of brings these groups and communities closer together, igniting more discussion, but simultaneously causing issues you describe.
For example, you can't walk up to a group of homosexuals and try to convince them they shouldn't be gay. You can discuss topics related to LGBT+ rights of course, but there are definitely off-limit discussions in that group, same as any other group. I think it's a matter of paying attention to where you are in the Fediverse and who may be reading your response before blurting out what's on your mind.
On the comment about tessaract; I cannot agree on the idea that the dev of tessaract was "right" about toxicity. Even if he was, he was in no place to take it into his own hands to address (especially in a secretive way). Lemmy is a community-based platform and we need to figure that stuff out as a community. We don't have a corporate-level moderation team ensuring the platform is safe for those under 18, and we don't have anyone enforcing political views in any way other than in specific communities (who have every right to enforce their chosen views). Just as some say we wouldn't need police if we had strong communities, the same goes here, strong communities are the key. If you see a lot of toxicity where you browse, maybe your chosen community just isn't a healthy one.
Neat! They somehow also look like lizards sticking their tongue out at eachother.

Excuse me your carrots are too tall, we will need you to remove them or pay a $500 fine.

Too bad there are like 10 trains total in America
Oh wow I just looked that up and you're definitely right. Weird coincidence!
Garlic is understandable, I use a shit ton... But if it's an "extract" it's definitely getting measured. Maybe I'm just picky about my baked goods.
Nice job on the neon letters. Thought they were digital until I zoomed in.
And according to the description of the video, the guy was still charged for "unauthorized use of a motor vehicle"...??? WTF. Let the dude go free, he was almost forcibly given a life sentence.
