Yup. I've gone unmedicated for 10+ years as a result. I'll take the highs/lows of hashimoto's over ending up in the ER with my heart pounding out of my chest any day of the week.

It also has the benefit of being able to apply the vast majority of Ubuntu tutorials, etc. since it's based on it. Plus it doesn't force you to use snaps for everything.

At least among the folks in my circles, in addition to the many fine answers already given, it refers to an irl action that is completely idiotic/unhinged that you're doing for laughs (either your own or those around you).

Oh makeup. I was a wreck early in my transition. My wife helped me pick out some makeup and taught me some basics. She then tolerated my inevitable crying and delays each morning when I would make a mistake and feel like I had to start over. Between trying to learn everything and going through Puberty 2 : Estrogenic Boogaloo, it was kind of rough.

Pretty great on the other side though. Few things have felt as good as my wife asking me for makeup tips!

Hey! Sorry you're feeling shitty. I just finished Cassette Beasts while I was down with COVID. It's a fun, different take on the Pokemon formula with a cool aesthetic. Perhaps not the absolute coziest, but still cozy in my book.

Aviation/Flying. r/flying had been a pretty much daily stop for me prior to leaving reddit as it was one of they only good places to talks with other pilots. I'd love to have a place to chat with other pilots and/or homebuilt aircraft folks rather than a dozen or so barely maintained forum sites.

Racknerd has VPSs starting at around $10/yr. Been using them to host my email/nextcloud/jellyfin proxies for a while now with no issues or unexpected downtime. They don't have any of Linode's advanced features, but they're pretty hard to beat price-wise.

However, extensions using Manifest V3 can still update some filters the old way, without a full update to the extension and a review process by Google. These are called “dynamic rules,” and starting in Chrome 121 (which arrives in January, several months before Manifest V3 becomes mandatory), up to 30,000 dynamic rules are allowed if they are simple “block,” “allow,” “allowAllRequests,” or “upgradeScheme” rules.

Maybe the filter rules required specifically for YouTube don’t work with those rule formats, I don’t know! If they’re not, then Google still allows an additional 5,000 rules with more broad capabilities. Either way, the statement “whenever an ad blocker wants to update its blocklist […] it will have to release a full update and undergo a review” is not true and can be easily disproven by checking the Chrome developer documentation, Mozilla’s documentation, or a blog post that Google published a month ago.

Perhaps my reading comprehension is off here, but I don't follow the logical jump being made here. My only guess is that the author is reading claims regarding the need for a full extension update to update block rules as meaning that the extension update & review are needed for any/all updates to the filter rules. That seems a rather pedantic and ungenerous reading to me. Especially when considering that the impact on users is the same if an update to those 5,000 rules is needed to effectively block the most frequently encountered and obtrusive ads.

Regardless, I think I'll take my info from the folks developing these tools rather than someone who admits to not understanding how ad blocking works before acting on their urge to correct "someone who's wrong on the internet." 🙄

Outside of a kink context, its use is a pretty great indicator that the person using it is a hateful moron who thinks they're"winning" if someone is "triggered." Basically the online equivalent of a pair of truck nuts.

In that respect, I'm grateful for its prevalence as it saves me a lot of time/energy that would otherwise be spent dealing with assholes.

Read generously, OP's point can be taken to refer to relationships generally, i.e. social skills. A lack of engagement with dating in and of itself doesn't point to someone being sick or deficient, it could indicate any number of things. I don't think there's anything implied about judging individuals here.

A societal trend of young people having fewer healthy interpersonal relationships at all is troubling. We're a social species living in a world that requires a certain amount of cooperation both for societal function and individual wellbeing.

Social isolation is a killer, both in terms of its effects on the person isolated and to society at large via the actions of (a statistically higher proportion of) those who are socially isolated.

A call for ameliorative measures against such a trend is not a personal attack on anyone.

This is something I find myself learning. When I first came out and started really living as "me," I think I had this understandable need to be FEMME at all the time and eschew roles/activities I saw as "masculine." I think this exacerbated my partner's "mourning."

As I get a bit more comfortable in my own skin, I find it easier to just do what's natural for me. I was literally thinking this two days ago, when I found myself with my arms wrapped around my partner as I stood behind her. It still feels nice/right and it feels good to have these moments of "reclamation" of parts that I felt the need to toss aside in a drive toward "femininity." It's a weird thing, these boxes we create for ourselves (well, me for sure at any rate) when we'd never try to box other women in in the same way. Good ol internalized transphobia I suppose.

Didn't our little Free Speech Absolutist™️ ban the "slurs" cis and cisgender while also banning folks who misgender cis folks while supporting those who do the same to trans folks? (To say nothing of the removal of lots and lots of other legal speech that he did not like. If that's what unbiased looks like to you, I think that you may want to examine your own biases.
