Everything else aside, the guy is in a stand-off against the police, and he decides to spend his last moments on Earth posting to Twitter? Of all the things he could be doing?

So beautiful!
I would care much more if you ignited some ACTUAL fireworks on the floor of the state assembly
3·3 months agoThanks, I bookmarked your post, maybe I’ll ask you more details about these Bumble and Lex apps once I have the energy to figure that stuff out
Are they available for desktop/web or only for phone? Do trans people on there tend to openly say that they are trans, or is that a bad idea?
I do know (sort of, we have talked a few times, we are not really friends) an openly queer person IRL, good point. (Only exactly 1 person. I truly lack social skills and I don’t know many people in general.) But how would I ask that question without being inappropriate? In a world with so much hatred towards queer people, it sounds like a really bad idea for me (not openly queer) to just walk up to this person (openly queer) and be like “Hey, you’re non-binary, right? I am trans, can you tell me about any trans meetups?”
Maybe it’s irrational, but I kinda worry about being seen as an imposter

What do you need your families support for top surgery? For them to pay for it or be on their insurance?
I can barely take care of myself / cook food / etc. when I’m healthy, I will definitely need help with that when recovering from a big surgery…
Currently, I also live off their money as my own part-time job does not pay enough, but I hope that somewhen in the future, I get a better-paying job. (Or maybe instead the economy collapses and I never find employment again and go die, that’s probably the more likely ) Maybe then, I can save up some money. Good point.
Is that possible for the hormones, too? Paying for them out of my own money instead of insurance? Or are the only options either going through whatever processes the insurance needs, or buying it from shady places online? I looked up “informed consent”, thanks to someone on here suggesting it, but unfortunately that way doesn’t seem to be offered in this country
And everything else aside, just having them navigate all the bureaucratic mess and schedule appointments would be incredibly helpful, they got much more experience with how to get these system to do what you need them to, if they were on my side, I probably already could have started transitioning
I hope your family comes around
Small hope that maybe I can somehow convince my mother, at least she doesn’t actively hate trans people

Good point, if it’s just backups of things like ISOs and ROMs and movies, then it doesn’t matter if the cloud provider reads it
How do you plan to host a Nextcloud? I tried researching how to set up a web server, but it’s either self-hosting and putting up with only having a dynamic IP and whatever other restrictions your ISP got, or paying for some virtual machine on a server in some data center, so instead of trusting the cloud provider you now have to trust whoever you’re renting the server from… Which probably isn’t much better? Sorry, I don’t know much about internet stuff :(
Yeah, I also got a big HDD (4TB, though it seems like it’s slowly becoming not enough for all my backup stuff…), I do backups to it. Though the problem is that it’s an external one that isn’t always connected, so the backups must be done manually (connect HDD to computer and then run script), which means I end up not doing them even nearly as often as I should…
Also, the HDD is physically close to all the other computers, so if something happens to this room, then everything is lost…I assume your big HDD is permanently connected to some computer and the copy happens over network? Do you trust the cloud storage enough to let them have your data?

on western journalists who write captions like this. Need to face the wall, all of them.
How do you even meet other trans people IRL? I guess there are places where they meet or whatever, but I am too afraid of everything to go to an unfamiliar place somewhere alone to meet with people I never seen before.
pointless complaining
Feeling the dysphoria so much lately. Why does all the trans stuff have to be so much gatekeeping by insurance / medical professionals / etc. . Top surgery would improve my life so much. But no. I do own a binder, but it’s too small, I need to get a bigger size before I can wear it, it’s expensive, and it’s not the same as actually fixing the problem of having the wrong body. No hope of transitioning unless either my family changes their opinion on trans issues or I find someone else to support me. Sad.
Was my experience, too, looked up cost of tape drive, can’t afford that. Not 2k, I have seen new ones for 1k, used ones for like 200, but I can’t afford any of that. Perhaps some day, I will get lucky and find a very cheap one with decent capacities. It would be awesome to have backups on magnetic tape…
What do you use for backups?
Me after mailing tape backups to a vault in every country so my cat pics and ps2 iso’s can survive ww3
You have backups on magnetic tape? Please educate me about magnetic tape for backups

Is there a recording of that song anywhere?
Are you implying that the helicopter pilot survived this crash, only everyone on the passenger plane is dead?
For real, has anyone tried prompt injection on the hasbara bots (or any other psyop bots)? Is it effective?
