If you're sure they don't want it, take it.
If you aren't sure, ask, if if they are there, and if they aren't there, take it and ask later if they wanted it (return it if they did).
There's no shame in re-using good or even repairable stuff: indeed, be proud.
If I want little distraction it'd either be no music, or music I never have or rarely listen to.
I think I told a mod there that if I was un-banned I'd refrain about talking about TG issues in that community
I've heard nothing about it since.
There's at least some subreddits that I can speak more freely on about this issue, such as https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism and as a result I'll self-censor more here and speak more freely elsewhere.
Whatever my quibbles, FWIW, again, I don't see myself as transphobic. I neither hate, nor fear the TG. The DOI refers to the pursuit of happiness, and if TG'ism results in happiness for them, then good, they should pursue it. They have a right to it, and I feel free to defend that right. Indeed, skills in procedures in their therapies and surgeries might help humanity elsewhere. I don't have a problem with them reading books to children, and reading books to children is good for children. As a man, I'm largely indifferent to transwomen in women's sports (as I am of sports in general) and washrooms, and pretty well fear nothing from transmen as usurpers of my masculinity (such as it is). Pronouns? The nice thing about English is that the 1st and 2nd person pronouns are already gender neutral, and while I don't like the singular "they" (and its variants), it's because I like specificity in plurality and not because I oppose gender neutrality. Indeed, I occasionally use the neologism wt:thon. There are some transwomen whose videos I enjoy greatly, such as ContraPoints, the one in Philosophy Tube, and Jessie Gender (the one who talks a lot about Star Trek). Most critics of TG I see on YouTube have their own flaws. I'm not a fan of JK Rowling, though I never was into Harry Potter. As for Germaine Greer, while she had/has made her contributions over the decades, she isn't the last word on feminism (I don't think anyone is). If I "get fooled" by a TW thinking thon is a ciswoman, I don't get mad, I metaphorically tip my hat at thons effort, such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu-t3tqDyAY . Well done, Ms Cain!
To any TG reading this, I readily admit to much ignorance. Don't take my words to heart if they bother you: they are merely the thoughts of a pseudonymous member of a few internet sites such as Lemmy. I intend no offense and wish you well and success in your expression.
I suppose it depends what they play.
e.g. Fleetwood Mac's Tusk: https://vimeo.com/9545833#t=1m58s (somewhat cued)
I don't think it's "Oh, look at how the poor people live: how sad." (or "how resourceful"), but more like, "You guys said that if I spent five minutes in South Central, I'd get my ass kicked; well I spent five hours walking the streets there, and it was basically a good walk with no violence."
I'm decreasing my posting on reddit because of Lemmy, and I resent reddit having about 10 of my accounts suspended (none of them troll, gaming the system, or otherwise bad accounts, and most I haven't used) for no reason.
I also want to get back to posting on wikis, such as my 2 Miraheze ones, Wikicommons, Wikipedia, Wikiversity wikidebates, and Wiktionary (mostly ELs to WP and eventually others), and RationalWiki.
some I made in this post: "What is a woman?" https://lemmy.world/post/18941154
and a few of my comments there remain.
I was being a bit sarcastic about political correctness and transcritical—which on most of reddit and Lemmy seems to be transphobic.
I wouldn't regard this parodist as a woman.

I'm still a redittor,
and on reddit, I sometimes link to Lemmy.
What do you think of a white person who'd walk through a bad part of town, alone (and without weapons), as an attempt to deal with wt:thons racism or possible racism, or at least presumption(s)?
Just keep talking.
and tell us what you really think of Melania, JD Vance, and DeSantis!
