The funniest thing is that the NCD mod suggested in one of the replies in that dumpster fire of a post that it’s the Blahaj mods that are the ones who deserve to be posted there. The lack of self awareness genuinely is staggering…
Don’t forget:
Those politicians who are in a position to pass laws with regards to my taxes, income level, and other means of hoarding power? Oh, they’re owned by me thanks to legal bribery.
And those other politicians who want to introduce a maximum wage, higher taxes, or anything remotely socialist? Oh, the media outlet/s I own, along with the politicians I’ve already paid off can easily smear them out of contention.
Both possible because the system is what it does and is designed to encourage these kinds of disparity and inequality, not combat it.
Pigeon lady (Brenda Fricker) does not deserve to be done dirty like this.
When I was a kid my parents wanted to open up an existing cavity under our house to build a basement, and that never happened because it (E: was discovered during the building inspection that it) was full of Radon. I guess I’m desensitised (but possibly slowly decaying a little faster than I should be…).
They can find another line, or skip trying to be funny altogether if the only way they can think of is gendered and they can’t be arsed to check the gender of the person they’re talking to.
And lets be honest - it wasn’t that good a joke.
Either way, it really isn’t fucking difficult, and is definitely easier than whatever the fuck this mess is.
Your app would ideally just respect display names and it would require no extra effort on your part to gender people correctly.
Even if pronouns aren’t displayed, it takes even less effort to use neutral pronouns for everyone unless you know otherwise.
That’s not an excuse nor justification for misgendering anyone, neutral pronouns exist, use them.
I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them
And yet, in that little whine right there, you managed to use the very gender neutral pronoun that would have saved you all this hassle (including the hassle you’re making up of having to go and look up the pronouns of every individual you interact with).
So you know it exists, and you know how to use it, but you decided to try and be funny instead, and it backfired.
You misgendered someone, and now have to deal with the most minor of minorest consequences for harm you caused to another.
You are still free to create 100 different accounts on 100 different instances, just not the one where you broke the rules. No one owes you a platform, deal with it.
Your choice now is to double down and make it worse, or you can be an adult, admit you made a mistake, and learn from it for the future so you don’t repeat it.
I dare to say you have already chosen, but feel free to prove me wrong.
It’s much scarier yet (but explains a lot) how quickly some people make excuses for racism.
Like, what was going through their mind?
Racism.
Sorry, I was just trying to relate this to autism in a silly way, no criticism or meanness intended.
What’s the difference between deep touch and deep pressure
I don’t know for sure, but personally I would say that deep touch is the opposite of soft touch (like grabbing someone’s hand vs lightly brushing against it), while deep pressure is about deliberately applying pressure deep in to the tissue (so yeah, like massaging, but also like a really heavy weighted blanket or the steamroller with a ball thing).
I must have missed your previous post, or not had the brain power to reply, good to see these conversations happening either way. 😊
You’re new to autism, aren’t you lol
On a more serious note, this is something I needed long before I knew why or what it was called. A couple of decades later, I do indeed know the term, and the reason why I prefer deep pressure to light touch (autism related sensory processing disorder), though I’m sure it isn’t the only reason people need/prefer it.
Either way, if you genuinely want to hear more personal experiences from people who are more likely to know about and have practice with theses techniques, post over on one of the autism communities.
I wonder what kind of incriminating evidence was on those machines that they ended up in a lake, and if whoever threw them in there realised that the information wasn’t stored on the monitors lol
Exactly.
People not being able to tell the difference between tankie rhetoric (“put all of the bourgeoisie up against the wall and everyone I disagree with in the gulag!!12”) or even plain old anti-communist propaganda, and actual leftist views is for them to figure out with themselves. I said what I said, and I mean it as I said it (including saying that I don’t even think it’s necessary to kill all billionaires, never mind anyone bellow them, which they conveniently ignore).
Sure, I can’t promise I’ll remember, but send me a friend code next time you play, and I’ll add you
Same, having somewhere so beautiful and calm to play and just hang out is really great.
I first started playing when it originally launched for mobile around 2019 and never even made it to the bit at the end because I got scared and overwhelmed long before it lol, but I got back in to it a few months ago, actually took the time to read up on the wiki and stuff which wasn’t really around back then (or I didn’t think to look) to understand what was going on, and it’s been great.
They update every 2 weeks at the least with traveling spirits - spirits from past seasons that come back so you can get their cosmetics, emotes, and music sheets/instruments, then there are seasons that last 3 months, and “days of” events that last 2 weeks. It can be a bit overwhelming, but the idea is there’s almost always something going on, and old things cycle back, so you always have a chance to get (most) things you missed.
Check out !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world, I also lurk the libreddit equivalent for more active posting, and definitely dip your toe back in, the new season just launched this week!
This.
One of the best ways to confront a bigot is by pretending to be completely naive of their intentions, and getting them to dig their own hole by repeatedly asking them to explain what they mean.
