Maybe a slight tangent, but it drives me insane when I see/hear people do the following in scripted or written content.

The normal, very casual sentence structure could be "Chocolate cake, which I am quite partial to..." but they will flip it around, which is usually fine, but they do it in a way that doesn't make sense with the words used. They'll do something like "Chocolate cake, of which I am quite partial to". (Where the correct rearrangement would be "to which I am quite partial")

I know its nitpicky because I can still perfectly understand their meaning, but it feels like people do it because they want to sound smarter. And that's fine! I just wish they'd go that tiny step further and learn how to properly use that method of sentence rearrangement! Drives me nuts.

That is all.

I get the sentiment, but overnight oats with honey and banana fucking slaps. I'd eat that if I was queen of the world (ignoring the fact that I wouldn't be queen of the world very long because I'd use my unquestioned power to dismantle all the fucked up systems that made a "queen of the world" possible)

The concept of a rigid biological sex binary is a social construct, that's basically the entire point of this post.

You cared enough to comment. "The site doesn't want readers" what does that even mean?

The DJs (producers) are still all over popular music - they're just either not doing features anymore because they don't need it, or they're producing the songs that are popular without taking artist credit.

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement).

Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either.

I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

I'm very, very new to nix and nixOS both - I come from imperative workflows and very very rarely anything determinative, so this is all brand new to me.

As an example of the kind of thing I don't understand how to do, let's take an example repo I've been bouncing off: https://github.com/GideonWolfe/Chameleon

On a "normal" system, I can get pip and python ready, and then make install and I'm off to the races.

With NixOS, I've got as far as adding python3 and gnumake to my configuration.nix packages. (I have also discovered that putting python in my system packages was the wrong move, so some advice on how better to go about this would be cool too.)

I can't for the life of me wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do, and so many people online are using flakes but I'm on stable 23.11 (and quite daunted by flakes) so I'd prefer if this was from that POV.

Can anyone speak to any of these points? I've tried reading the docs but it's very confusing for some reason.

And it'll continue to spike up until we hit the "actual" values, when we are destigmatized and, hopefully, not oppressed by systems and people.

In fairness, I would be distraught if I ever misplaced my gay card. What would the others think of me at the bi-weekly brunch?

International sentiment generally negative about country actively committing genocide.

More at 11.

Jokes aside - yeah? Of course there's propaganda about China. I would wager its hard to find a big international power that doesn't have some level of propaganda being spread about it by the other big international powers. But between the propaganda you still find a bunch of real reasons to have negative views toward China's leadership and actions.

  • Uyghur genocide (ongoing)
  • authoritarian rule with huge censorship of outside media I really don't need to go on

Has something happened? I made 3 posts and a few comments late yesterday and they're all gone today (but still appear on the federated instances I posted them to)

So, I live in the UK and I'm on some probably endless waiting list to start talking to people about things, but I am also financially privileged and if I can use that to expedite my process in some way, that would improve my quality of life tenfold.

My cry for help, is, what can I do privately? How do I do it safely? Are there any "official" private sources for anything?

I am interested in UK centric advice for (but not limited to):

  • voice feminisation
  • HRT in an environment where I can regularly have someone with degrees in this shit tell me that my body is doing the right things
  • related to the above, fertility support (in the scenario I want to have kids biologically)
  • diagnosis of gender dysphoria
  • any other "superficial" feminzation
  • I don't want to sexually transition, I'm keeping the tool

Thanks in advance, blahaj lemmy

This route hits

Greater: 10 (11 with meta)
Lesser:  5 max, call it 2.5 on average
Foxes:   8 max, depends if you are fast enough for 1 of them

on average this is 10*8.5 + 2.5*5 + 8*2 = 113.5 coins per day

This route tags: 2 Greater Arcane Chests (7-10 coins/ea) 0-1 Lesser Arcane Chests (4-6 coins/ea) 6 Fox Chests (1-3 coins/ea)

Averaging at ~30 coins per day (17-18 if you cut out the fox chests)

Additionally, there's an extra Lesser chest you can grab on the rocky hill at the beginning.

I have a strong sense of morality

lists "white" as a reason he "deserves" a gf

Can children please be taught that women are human beings and not objects

I've noticed in my time using Beehaw, that navigation has been a bit funky

Example:

  • I scroll through my feed and find a post I want to check out, on page 3 or something.
  • I click the post and check it out, and want to go back to my feed
  • I "go back" (on mobile with the back gesture) one time
  • I have now returned to page 2, instead of page 3, of my feed

Am I missing something obvious? Is there a "close" button on opened posts that I should be using instead? Having to go back and then scroll down and go to the next page to get to my "actual" page is quite tedious
