Literally just watched this movie in a small private cinema like an hour ago! I'm trans, I've always loved the movie. It really has never felt to me like the movie or cast or anything was trying to be transphobic in fact quite the opposite. They explicitly say there is no correlation between being trans and being violent and that trans people are passive. They're very clear that they don't think Bill is trans. There could be something to be said about externally prescribing if someone is trans or not but that's more a general "they didn't understand psych well on a lot of fronts then". They put in decent effort to try and say trans people aren't inherently bad. I consider it to be relatively progressive in intent but they didn't know how to tell the story in a way that wouldn't be taken in the wrong way.

Also when I was first transitioning I'd periodically naked sideways shuffle through the house with a tuck and yell "would you fuck me" at my spouse which was fun.

    Two of the background ones have a different copy/paste rubber band pattern, also there is slight differences in the heights of where things are placed on the cans. Not only does this feel photoshopped but it feels like someone put a weird amount of effort into it. But then with that weird amount of effort why'd they have all the front facing ones be the same rubber band variant?

    My dad would go to tech things and one time he excitedly brought a handful of them back. I thiiink they were 2gb? He gave me one and I remember basically being like idk why I would ever need this. A year later I was in college and boy did that little guy come in handy. Especially after I had a failing hard drive that refused to boot into windows so I used the USB to boot Ubuntu and recover my data.

    Yeah small airports are great. Where I'm at now the local airport is pretty small, flights only go to/from Stockholm. They're rarely even full I could probably just show up and grab a ticket like a fancy bus half an hour before takeoff. Sometimes there is a little stall selling local honey that's just honor system nobody operates it and there isn't any camera or anything just a wooden table and a paper with payment info lol

    Hello! I was part of a school team project recently and we made a short, cutesy type horror game. It is two players controlling the same character on one computer, one person is keyboard and mouse while the other is on a controller. It was a lot of fun to make and I'm rather proud of what we did after having only been in school about a year. I made the trailer too and am particularly fond of it :3

     

    From the engineers who brought you The Deliverator, the geniuses behind the Chesterizer, Omni-Tech is back again with a fantastic new product! Do you ever look at your spaceship and think "My goodness lookit the girth of that thing it's horrible"? Did you buy one of our fantastic Deliverators but used it wrong and it blew up mid transit? Do you look at the stars and wonder maybe, just maybe, there's a faster way to get from one place to the next? Well wonder no more because The Prickler is here!

    • Does it got length? Yes in spades!
    • What about speed? A problematic amount!
    • Blinky Lights? Who the fuck do you think we are of course it's got Blinky Lights!

    But wait! You ask, This thing weighs like twice as much as The Deliverator Slim, how ever will I maneuver it well?? Well have I got news for you: Twice the weight but up to TEN times the thrust! Not to mention the newly designed ammotorium so you never need to take a break again!

    A friend needed a pick me up so I made them one of their comfort foods, ramen! The broth is mostly chicken and veg bouillon since I didn't have time or supplies for a proper scratch broth, but we did cook down onions and some other stuff first to give it a better depth. This is probably the first real food I've made in my new place and I'm happy with how it turned out :3

     

    The washing machine panel thing in my apartment has these metal buttons that are perhaps the most satisfying metal buttons I've ever pressed in my life. If my neurospicy brain had a swimming pool of these things I would die happily of starvation while flopping around pressing as many as I could. How in the world do I track down a featureless metal button and know I'm getting the right thing without being able to press them before buying? Are there like names for different types of buttons? What kind of rabbit hole am I looking at here? I want to refit my computer to have one of these things as my power button

    I've added a pic but I have a video too which gives sound feedback. Idk how to post that though

     

    Hello, I'm relatively new to linux and was wondering what steps I need to take to troubleshoot an issue I started having with one of my games? This is in part asking for help but also a general 'how do I approach things like this in the future so I don't waste people's time'

    I don't know what all information I need to include about my system. To start I'm using Arch btw, KDE Plasma, Wayland, on a Framework 16 with the AMD Radeon 780M built in gpu.

    My problem is at some point between when I last played the remastered Life is Strange about a month ago and now the fullscreen option broke. As far as I can tell the game appears to be running but when I'm in game it visually looks frozen. I can still do things like move my cursor around, navigate menus, etc. I get sound fine and if I alt-tab out then in the screen will be updated to the new menu but frozen from there. Windowed and borderless windowed work as expected.

    I noticed a general vibe of 'try switching to X11' when it comes to things like this so I've done that and it does appear to work here. So while it is a good workaround I would still prefer to know how to either fix the issue when using Wayland or where I need to go and what info I need to provide to make a bug report.

    Thank you for any help!

     

    I recently made it to a new country where I'm studying and hopefully will migrate to. It's been a while since I last talked here and things then were very difficult for me. Thank you for your support then I really needed it. It's still difficult to be honest but I've been doing so much better here. It took me years of seriously looking into and over a year of getting legal stuff lined up and doubling down on savings.

    I've gone through a divorce and watching multiple good friendships dissolve over long distance. I've been fighting with bureaucracy every day, I don't have a phone plan or internet at my home yet because of it. Without a phone plan I can't connect to the internet to translate stuff or get directions anywhere when I'm away from the school wifi. I miss my cat but for now he's being fostered by really good people who love him.

    But I'm here, I'm away from the US, I'm making it work every day. I already know a lot of basics about what I'm choosing to study here so I'm spending most of my effort early on building new relationships and helping other students learn. I'm project lead in our current assignment which isn't something I thought I'd like but I think I'm actually not bad at it. I'm really proud of what I'm doing in part because it's so difficult for me and I'm pulling it off.

     

    I just got a new laptop today and when I saw the ssd it blew my mind. Most of my old drives are like the second from left and it's what I think of as a normal drive, buying a standard ssd still feels small to me. But look at that tiny thing to the right! It's the size of a postage stamp!

    Assuming I managed to find the right specs (it is a Microscience hh-1050): The monster on the far left is from 1990, holds 40mb, read/write of 0.625mb/s, and weighs almost exactly 2kg. The baby on the far right I got in the mail today, holds 1tb, read/write of 5150mb/s, and weighs about 2.85 grams.

    So we're looking at 25,000 times more storage, 8,240 times faster, and 1/700th the weight! And the one on the right is just 1tb, they make one that same model but 2tb. I can barely believe it exists even though I'm literally holding it in my hands.
