Honestly, I'm a dude, and way closer to the girl stereotype here. An argument is one thing, a debate, whatever. But if it's gotten to the point of what is consider a fight, it's probably kaput for the relationship, tbh. But that may just be me having a stronger definition of fight, perhaps?

    I think I get where you're coming from. I don't necessarily agree, but I get it. I can imagine there are a lot of kids that don't know to ask certain questions, don't know certain things are even an option, and end up in similar situations because they don't truly understand themselves until much later in life. It would be nice if puberty didn't kick in until kids understood themselves better, and had developed mentally a little more. But I think unless we're just artificially shifting the age of puberty to 20-25 universally, it'll cause many of the same problems and a host of new ones.

    Now, if we could somehow press a magic button, and shift puberty to the early 20s universally? That could probably solve some problems, and also really help with education. Haha. But if we've got magic buttons, id rather just have a button that allowed everyone to be the sex and gender they preferred.

    You and I have very similar preferences. Big rough/struggle/CNC/painal fan. Riding it doesn't provide that, generally. So if I'm bottoming, it's not at all what I want.

    However, when I top, I really like it when they ride it. I tend not to top often, and thus I finish a bit quicker than I'd like. Being ridden, I generally last much longer, just about as long as I, or they, want me to. That's nice.

    While South Carolina is the lesser of the North/South Carolina divide, northern Georgia is Lesser Carolina. Tall Georgia is a myth. There is no excuse for mapmakers excluding Lesser Carolina, and allowing Georgia to reach up and touch Tennessee.

    Fake: you can't read in dreams

    Gay: anon tried to read, like some kind of nerd homo

    But also, I have absolutely read in dreams. Most of the time it's frustrating or terrifying nonsense (like, an imperative to read or something bad will happen, and suddenly I can't, or dial a phone number or something bad will happen, but the numbers won't display correctly, or whatever), but on more than one occasion dreaming normally and lucidly, I have successfully read text in a dream.

    I genuinely liked it, but it's very different from the comics. It follows characters fairly closely, and gives a continuing story line that unfortunately doesn't get resolved because it was cancelled. Worth watching, but expect it to be it's own media, and not the comics brought to life

    Is there a community on Lemmy for connecting people who are learning a language?

    For instance, I am learning Spanish, and I'm not yet at a level where I can converse with native speakers reliably, but it would be beneficial to have someone to practice with who was also learning, without having to pay for some tutoring service or something.

     

    Hey again, folks,

    So if anyone remembers the post from last year, I never did make the move to SA. It just didn't work out. Now, however, it looks like it's finally going to happen. I'll be renting a house on the far west side of San Antonio. I'm not entirely sure if the home is within city limits or not.

    I'm pretty excited, but politically I'm getting more and more nervous about a move to Texas. I got some pretty encouraging advice last year when I posted here, but I thought I'd ask again and see if any opinions had changed in the last year, given everything that's been going on.

    Another question I had is that one of the things I'm most excited about is proximity to Mexico. I know it's a few hours away, and a hassle to cross the border, but I love the idea of being able to visit Mexico whenever the mood strikes, for a variety of reasons. How safe is border crossing? Do I need to be concerned about being detained? I'm planning on having a second phone that I take with me on those days, and leaving the main device at home. "Interesting times," I suppose.

    OnlyDesks (slrpnk.net)
     

    I have an idea:

    OnlyDesks. It's an onlyfans account for FOSS devs. Not a different site, just a straight up only fans account. You sub to it, and you get to watch a FOSS dev sit at their desk and do their stuff. You cannot interact with them, you can just check in on the webcam, like those sites where you can see the cats in a rescue. The feed is randomized, so whenever they're live (does OF do live?), it is completely random which dev you'll get, but you can go back through the past videos to see your favorite moments (opening yet another can of monster energy yet) again and again.

    If all the Linux users sign up for the 9.99 a month tier, we'll have the year of the Linux desktop in no time!

     

    Hey, folks,

    My laptop broke the other day, and I need a replacement asap. But here's the rub: I despise windows. I've been a full time fedora user on my main device for a decade now, and I run Ubuntu on my desktop that I rarely touch because it's ooooold. I am not a techy person. At all. I'm an idiot, actually. I use Linux because it's cheaper, it keeps my aging hardware alive longer, and because politically I align pretty well with the idea of FOSS. And because I absolutely hate windows. I don't even like KDE, because it reminds me of windows. Cinnamon? Too much like windows! Lol. I love my workflow in gnome, I love that it's shiny and pretty and looks nice. And for the most part, I'm a browser based user. I rarely have cause to do much outside of the browser, except for sail the seas for some audiobooks. Even my papers for school are written in Google docs.

    But also, on my desktop or a secondary device, I don't mind having to fiddle with things and get them working, I enjoy it. It makes me feel like I have actual tech skills when I absolutely do not. But on the device I use for school I just want something that works and I never have to think about. I feel like a traitor to the cause even considering it, but I think I want to get a used m1 air. I've never used a Mac before, though. I used an iPhone once, for about 10-15 minutes, and I hated it. But, like, of course I did. It was completely different, and incapable of doing the thing I wanted it to do.

    How painful is the Linux to Mac transition? If I'm using an android phone, an Ubuntu desktop, and a MacBook, how awful is everything going to be to switch between devices? Am I going to regret this purchase, or, worse yet, become an apple fan boy and abandon my glorious FOSS devices forever?

    Please assist
