Anyone willing to share a tl;dw?

My wife came out as gay last night in c/goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Don't feel that her revealed sexuality voids your right to your own feeling

certainly seems like there's a middle path. having the anger, if it arises, but having agency over how it lives in you and how it gets expressed.

coming out is tough simultaneously as we are accountable for our impact on others

My brother grew up to become a homicidal freak. Are violent men common in the general population or was our childhood ROYALLY fucked? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

just to help normalize your kink, variations on it have been covered in mainstream press before. like there are people who provide affection proffessionally, for instance

I'm actually invested in the story, goofy though it may be

Is anyone else having a hard time sympathizing with Americans? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Have sympathy for the individual who lost his life, by most accounts in an act of charity, not for the society

What are some good media that un-glorify conflict? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

I certainly speak about this. But, yeah, haven't gauged when to expose them to graphic depictions, yet.

I benefited from watching that type of content. Not just with guns, but physical violence in general. What was that subreddit that eventually got banned? watchpeopledie? Obviously that was much more out there than just gun safety content, but stuff like that. Helpful as it might have been, it has probably warped my sense of what's standardly age appropriate, though, so I err on the side of caution with that

I think this is a wonderful suggestion and actually has a good chance to align with their interest. I'll make a point to watch a few with them

Appreciate this post. I'd welcome any suggestion to help deglorify guns to a kid, too

Batman probably checks for the bat signal the way we check our screens for notifications. (fedia.io)
 

Like, even in the middle of apprehending some burglars he can't help himself from glancing up a few times, in case

What's your go-to online dictionary? (fedia.io)
 

English language for me, but list options for other languages to benefit others!

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)
 

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
