Is their being successful going to be used by them to make my life worse? If not, I wish them all the success in the world.

I’m in Queensland, so we’re not allowed to have alcohol in supermarkets. This was a stand alone BWS

It has happened!

I mean the stand alone ones built in beside the toilet.

Something like this

Unless I’m at home, I’m probably wearing mine! (They get hidden behind my hair, so people don’t even know I’m wearing them)

After using a dedicated bidet for the first time, I was an instant convert! But the after market ones installed in existing toilets just aren’t the same. If I ever get the chance, I’ll be adding one to any house I own!

Oh! Ok, you’ve sold me! :)

You mean a kettle? How did you not already have one?

Get in to the ones that fill a niche for you!

Like, it doesn’t matter how good PeerTube is, I’m unlikely to use it, because I rarely consume “Youtube like” content and when I do, it’s without an account or interaction, following external links.

But I use the threadiverse and microfediverse as my only social media outlets.

This is all hypotheticals for you, based on some ideal you think is important.

It’s lived experience for me. I told you it wouldn’t work for many folk. Your priority is “free” speech ahead of well being, and well, as a member of a targetted minority on the internet, my priorities are in a different order

For brand new bigots. That might require a “if the person’s history is too small, exclude” type rule. Which is less than ideal, yes. Lots of false positives there.

Doesn’t work. For trans folk particularly, throw away accounts not linked to their main account is often the first step of exploring their identity online.

You still see it though, especially if it’s a direct reply. And it is still a responsive system, that lets bigots just come back with new accounts and spew hate until they get downvoted in to silence, when they just come back with another account.

Whilst the latter problem still exists even with moderators, at least a moderator can reduce the number of people exposed to hate.

I’ve lived this. I have zero desire to use the system you describe, because I know it leads to toxicity that I don’t need.

You miss the point. Your approach requires the targetted minority to experience the hate first, and then react to it, and gives them no method of pro-actively avoiding the content from new sources. It also ensures that every member of the minority in the community in question has a chance to see it, and has to individually remove it.

That suits bigots fine, and unsurprisingly, isn’t sustainable for many targets of bigotry.

That just means that folk from vulnerable minorities each individually have to downvote every new troll account targetting them, until the person just moves on to a new troll account.

Which in turn is how you end up with communities full of nothing but white, straight middle class western cis men who think that trolling each other is a national sport.

Locked - Rule 2

There’s an upcoming change in Lemmy as a whole that will essentially get rid of the scores altogether

Any chance you can expand on that?

Skin sensitivity, smell, taste, posture, temperature tolerance, it can all change!

It’s pointless when there is so much content that it gets drowned out by the time it’s a few days old. It’s not pointless when that isn’t true.

Many people sort by active or new comments and even days old threads will show up there if someone replies.

Trans woman here, and I can say from first hand experience that hormones change sexual response and desire. I’m guessing (and only guessing) that that is at least a part of the reason.

I know my own experience changed and i vocalise more, but even I can’t tell you why.

Lemmy was around and active before the reddit incident. It wasn’t busy, but it was growing. It’s always had its own life.

I wish. I love black tea, but I have an allergy to it :\

I love that movie! :)

It’s descriptions like that that make me wonder if I’m aromantic in some fashion, because I don’t have anything like that.

Hi!

Thank you for the answer, however I was making a reference from the movie myself :)

What’s this?

I don’t mean it like that. I’m not trying to meme or anything. Yeah, meming is why I first started watching it at Christmas, but it’s long stopped being about the meme and and debates about whether it’s a Christmas movie.

I watch it every Christmas now because it has become a genuine tradition for me

None. We’re still dealing with many other instances of people thinking it’s a good idea…

It’s genuinely Die Hard. Calling it a Christmas movie used to be something I said for fun, but somewhere along the line, watching it at Christmas has become an actual tradition that I look forward to

We have preferential voting here, so I stick the lesser of two evils in front of the evil party but behind the people I actually want in power.

You can’t get it wrong, because half the fun of the game IMO is trying to play with awful characters that screw up all your plans.

If you’re looking for a “paint the map one colour” strategy game, there are better options, but if you want to play game of thrones with heresies, inheritance wars, inbreeding and all of the other fun stuff, this is the game :)

Once you stop bouncing off, you’ll have trouble letting go :)

Crusader Kings II

To me, romance feels like friendship without boundaries. It’s not something I feel quickly or when I first see someone. It’s something that has to develop over time, because it’s based on friendship.

Physical attraction, it’s desire… It’s usually in the moment, and can and does occur with people I don’t know. It’s noticing their features… feeling my eyes drawn to them

What’s interesting though is that I can experience romantic attraction to anyone (but it seems I’m more likely to experience it with women), but my physical attraction tends to be towards men and masc folk.

Despite having more emojis than most lemmy instances, I still rarely use them myself, but that’s mostly because they’re not intuitively built in to the reply/post UI/flow. You can get to them, but it’s a bif of an effort 🤷‍♀️

Coding, photography, public speaking/advocacy, writing…

The three brackets are a nazi dog whistle.

I’m from Australia, and we have strict gun controls. US gun culture is a complete and utter mystery to me. I have no desire to live like that…

If you’re in a relationship with someone that cares that deeply about office work, and you don’t have the first inkling that they do, you have significant communication problems that need to be addressed.

More realistically, you’d know enough about your partner to know that it might be an issue for them, in which case, not knowing what their boundaries are, but knowing you’re at risk of crossing them, you’d communicate with them.

Cheating is when you do something that betrays your partners trust.

I couldn’t care less if my partners post nudes, anonymous or otherwise, so it wouldn’t be cheating for me.

Other people feel differently, and so it could be cheating for them.
