Spearheaded the LGBT rights?
Some of us literally battled it out in the streets in the 80s and 90s. People fucking died. We were expelled from our families.
It's hard not to take offense to your comment. Millennials did not spearhead shit. You were GIVEN the opportunity to be yourselves.
edit: Don't think that I don't appreciate that we still have boundaries to push. The war against sexuality isn't over, and the old warriors are still here. We just don't make as much noise these days.
Do. Not. Comply.
Giving in is what gives them the power.
I absolutely will call out people who think it's ok to just go along with the new fascist regime.
Thank you for making me imagine a traffic stop ending in a sword fight.
It's WAY funnier reading it twice in a row though. You should just ask everyone this question.
kava, kratom, taking shells, slaying the spire in a switch...
I'm so confused.
I feel like one of us had an aneurysm.
The other 1% is meat I hunt, fish or raise myself. It's rather rare exception and happens only a few times a year.
When I was younger on a rare occasion I might try something that a friend or family member raised or hunted, but I've found people will lie about that so I usually just pass.
In the last decade (not counting fish & hunting) I've known the name of every animal I've eaten and I or my partner slaughtered it. Nothing goes to waste. Pelts and skins are kept, organs are fed to the house pets and what we can't eat or preserve goes to the garden.

Nah bacon doesn't even smell good anymore. The closest I get to pork is jackfruit lol. Cooked up with BBQ sauce it makes a reasonable pulled pork sandwich replacement. Even my meat eating friends enjoy it.
I wish. It's just the dark mode for standard Android that shipped with my cheap REVVL 6 Pro.
This is awesome. Haven't heard of this one yet so certainly going to check it out.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I would argue that graffiti has often gone hand in hand with rebellion against the status quo. It has a place just as diplomacy and violence do.
There is no one way to fight a war.
I do like this idea to address AI specifically and it's in my plans once I build myself a better solar setup. I don't quite produce enough energy to run much beyond a tablet and a cell phone.
My first goals are to get enough power to be able to run HomeAssistant and dedicated media server so I can step further away from streaming platforms. I'm hoping that AI is a bit more refined by the time I'm ready to implement it.
Here's what many people don't understand. Millennials and the younger generations are not more diverse. They didn't make it popular. Sexual diversity has always existed.
The difference is that by the time you came around generations previous had been fighting for the right to exist. Those that didn't have the ability or desire to fight for themselves simply remained 'in the closet' (a phrase I'm not fond of). But we made a TON of progress in the 80s and 90s so by the time you came along people were finally able to TRY and understand. Before that it wasn't really even a question of if you would be accepted. You knew you weren't. Again, millennials were GIVEN the opportunity to be accepted by those that came before them, quite possibly even close family members who they never realized fought for those rights even when they would never get them.
If you need a specific example to get it... My brother has a child that is non-binary. They get to have a relationship with their grandparents (my parents) ONLY because my parents understand now that refusing to accept would mean the loss of the relationship completely. If I had not made the sacrifices I did back then, that child would not have had the benefit of loving grandparents. In fact I'm often jealous because by the time my parents realized that they were wrong, it was too late for me. The damage had already been done. I will never know what it's like to have a family, to talk to adult siblings about growing up. I'm still on the outside because my siblings were too young to really know what happened. To dig all of that up now would only damage their relationships and why would I do that? I know what it's like to not have any support networks.
You should be happy with the freedom you were born into. I'm happy for your generation. I would go back and do it again.
And one of my biggest fears is that I might have to.
