Fun fact, the “Five Love Languages” were invented by a Baptist pastor, and essentially have no research backing. It was basically “oh, your husband’s love language is physical touch, your love language is acts of service - love for you should be putting out and cleaning up!”

American Idol winner, she did “Before He Cheats” which was on repeat on essentially every radio station in Texas and Oklahoma for two years. You could change the station and it would be on the next one. Obnoxious stupid song.

My dad, who voted for Trump at least twice, told me to read Viktor Frankl to cope.

God fuck I’m trying.

When it’s legal to fire you for being trans, hard to get the resources to escape.

I wish I could tune out. My mental health is already shite, but I am terrified. My state already had a law that just passed defining sex, with this new EO I’m terrified they’re coming after my drivers license. I’m terrified that they’re going to institutionalize and detransition me.

I don’t know how to balance staying aware enough to keep my self safe without being terrified and exhausted into paralysis.

He’s been massively inconsistent about the year, some weird story about grad school requirements.

His “woke mind virus traceroute” post just does not seem like the kind of thing anyone who has ever used any form of command line would actually write. The way he talks about physics and rocketry, as someone who has taught physics and also been blessed to actually talk to some of the smartest NASA scientists in the world, does not sound like the way that people talk about physics and rocketry.

If you have a passport or drivers license that says “M” and you are in a dress and full face of makeup, are you physically safe?

I have a drivers license that says “M” and have a beard. This EO (and state law) say that it should have an “F.” When I was a broke college student, and it did say “F” but I had a beard, I could barely find work scrubbing shit off bleachers with face tattooed ex cons. I had to do sex work. If I get to that point again I will just kill myself. And I did just lose my job lol.

Background checks still occasionally fuck me - I had a job let me work there for a week and then they tried not to pay me because the background check revealed I was trans. I spent months fighting for money, because I was ducking desperate, because I was going through a divorce where I was getting fucked for being a crazy tranny there too.

Documentation fucking matters. This is how they are trying to kill us.

With swastikas it’s the tilt that makes it the evil one.

I’ve been trying to find one. There are not a lot of resources here - to the point where the DOJ is investigating local lack of access to mental health care as a statewide civil rights violation.

Also one of the very few mainstream spaces one could get news from a leftist perspective.

Big part I think depends on the quality of the shrooms themselves. When I grew my own, 1-2 g of dried was about equivalent to a decent 50 mg THC edible experience, with minor visual enhancements. 3-4 g is where I started to get some of those more fun things, experimenting with approaching ego death.

I tend to have very high tolerance for psychedelics though. Half of my lemmy comments have been made under the influence of 100 mg + THC.

 

The first time it happened, I wasn’t sure if it was an accident but it has happened again multiple times since.

I have a google account that I use for YouTube because it has premium and that is useful in my work. It also as a long dead Reddit account associated with it.

Multiple times, on my work computer, when I end up on Reddit from google a question, the top right will find my google account, and AUTOMATICALLY LOG INTO REDDIT. I have logged out multiple times.

These is extremely concerning - the fact that I am logged in with google does not consent me to log into Reddit. I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.

Introducing the series? (self.star_wars)
submitted 1 year ago by andros_rex to c/star_wars
 

My boyfriend knows absolutely nothing about the series other than that Natalie Portman is in the prequels. He wants to watch the prequels first - he likes her and is convinced you’re supposed to watch them in order.

I’m advocating Machete order (with pre-Special Edition VHS rips), but he really wants to watch Phantom Menace and I’m not sure where to put Rogue One/what other non-mainline material to include.

Do normies tend to like the sequels? I’ve told him upfront that I dislike them immensely, but I’ll tolerate them for him.

This may come across as ridiculous but please understand - I’m just trying to maximize my chance of a couples Han/Chewie Halloween costume this year.
