ive recently discovered Khruangbin! Freaking LOVE them, very chill, laid back music for good vibes. Comparable to Nujabes, Glass Beams and Funkadelics tamer stuff.

Khruangbin means ‘Airplane’ in Thai :D

instead of trying to excel at work, just libreoffice calc instead! badum ts

Just telling my family (russian, old values) about this wouldve been a death sentence. Im glad i had the foresight to wait it out as long as i could. My therapist was notorious among my self-help group for having a trigger-finger when it comes to diagnoses. That group was how i met my best friend, who id end up getting engaged with, 13 years after this whole thing :)

What seemed like gender dysphoria at the time, ended up turning out to be borderline personality disorder. Ive since learned to work with it and consider myself mostly ‘healed’. Even bearded men like being the little spoon spoon sometimes, aint nothing wrong with that :D

I have nowhere near the experience you have, but remember giving Linux a try like a decade ago, and promptly gave up…

Tried again half a year ago, this time with a little more patience, and successfully transitioned fully! Rocking Mint 21.3, and loving it!! Even my printer works, even the bkuetooth receiver for my Soundsystem!! couldnt be happier!

hes quite the selective speech supporter

he looks guilty. guilty of lookin hella cute!

what a cutie :3

I suffered from severe depressions as a teenager, and my therapist at the time suggested it might be due to gender dysmorphia. I was raised by women, no father figure, which made me a lil feminine in some characteristics. As a confused teen, i ate that idea up…

Years later i realized that wasnt it, and felt like my therapist was way too quick go with that idea. Clinging to a diagnosis was my way of keeping hope alive that i could fix the issue. I did fix it eventually, but not through gender reassignment surgery…

Cool, i learned a new word thanks to you!

The phrase is quite the beaten horse at this point, overused and pointless, that i agree with. I think its been overused in part to highlight how silly it is, making the people who use it unironically look like absolute dorks.

Its a little similar to how in Germany, theres a new synonym for cannabis, called ‘Bubatz’. Its origins are unclear, it sounds super silly and has been instrumentalized in the decriminalisation of cannabis. Many people have strong reactions when they hear that word, which in turn motivates other people to keep using that word. It boils down to people wanting to rile up other people for no reason!

how is it toxic? Nonsense… just a silly phrase, nothing more.

…per…month? holy moly. Im currently earning about 15k a YEAR lmao. Granted, im going through a work-rehab program because of a spinal injury. But even when I finish this and start working full time again, itll be maybe 20k/year. Completely different ball league.

Ever since I stopped gaming as much, linux has become infinitely more fitting to me. My main driver is Mint 21.3, it does everything i want it to. Its fun, and a great learning experience. Though obviously you gotta want to learn how to fix things if things go wrong, which they still do, but mostly at the beginning. After installing the right graphics drivers, and fixing touchpad scroll speed, everythings smooth sailing.

wow those loot beautiful. Have you harvested already?

awesome. Feels amazing to be able to grow here in Germany now, without having to fear prison sentences. Doing my third grow right now!

looking good :D how big is that tent?

Thats crazy, cant even imagine what their lives look like. We out here budgeting our monthly incomes and barely stay afloat, while others nonchalantly take a private jet when public transport would work just fine.

entshitification 2: electric boogaloo

yes we can :) welcome!

same here lol. If they paywall subreddits ive been visiting for the past FOURTEEN years, i will lose my shit. by throwing it at the reddit headquarters.

that’s a level of wealthy 99% of us cant fathom. People like that detach from society more and more, their reality is different than ours. Shame…
