It's not about the form of words, it's about the history of words. Was a word used to hurt people for something they had no control over? Because of this history does that group of people feel hurt or especially powerless when that word is used to refer to them? Then don't use that word. If you don't know why a word is a slur or derogatory, consider that you may not know the history of how the word has been used or how people feel when that word is used against them.

The funny thing is that it's no longer true that Rick and Morty are voiced by the same person. Justin Roiland was fired and they hired two different people to play them. A good decision in my opinion.

What was difficult was the constant security checks, it happened like every time I changed devices and occasionally things were encrypted and unable to be read, it felt totally unusable. It's true that I don't quite get docker, I have a few services that run on dcker, but most of them run straight on arch. Yes I know arch isn't ideal for servers, I'll fix it next summer during school break

I tried running a matrix server last year. I guess I will try again and see if a normie like me can make it somewhat usable.

You actually can visit Canada as a US citizen with just a passport. So in an emergency, I could cross over in a rush. But mostly I am worried that Trump will say you can't change your gender marker on passports. So I'm preempting that with this passport application.

We... don't? Have you not been watching American news for the last... 9 years? I don't speak with my family because me being trans is not fully accepted by them. I don't really want to associate with anyone who is okay with increasing trans suicides via politics. I moved from North Carolina to Oregon to be in a queer friendly state, and I don't regret it one bit. And I have an appointment to get my passport tomorrow... just in case. I don't know if this country can be fixed. People talk about getting along with our neighbors or meeting in the middle, but I don't know how to get along with people who wish I didn't exist.

Okay, we'll I've been using vaultwarden. When should I switch to something new, and what's a good alternative?

I think it's more complex than this. Yes, absolutely, if something works for you personally but it's not supported by scientific consensus, that makes sense to follow your own research. Health routines, diet, religion, whatever you do in your personal life, especially if you aren't concerned about whether your neighbors are doing it too. The sentiment of the post applies best to subjects that apply broadly to groups of people, like vaccines, or trans people, or climate change, or even creationism or flat earth. If you aren't following the scientific consensus, then you may be hurting yourself or others. Yes, science gets things wrong, but it also has drastically improved quality of life for everyone.
