For a second I thought this was an animation of the imaginary man who would do insane parkour as you looked out the window while your parents were driving.

As a young person who grew up on the internet, with no parental oversight, I can say it's because there is a lot of right wing bullshit online that media companies love to push on their users. When I was a tween I got suckered into it hard when one day youtube decided to put mgtow videos in my recommended feed. I never initially searched for them. I did eventually get out of it, and I'm not entirely sure how, but I remember as a 13yo seeing trump in 2016 bully that disabled reporter and it really put a sour taste in my mouth. And then over the next few years that led to me leaving catholicism, becoming a socialist, and realizing I'm transgender and very gay.

With me being transgender and pan, that adds another aspect to it, because I think I knew subconsciously that I was queer as a tween, but growing up in an environment where I was repeatedly told those things were wrong led to me feeling absolutely miserable about myself, and misery loves company. And this also makes me wonder how many nazis are queer and don't even realize it or refuse to recognize it.

Yeah, I'm trans and I have an aunt with schizophrenia. After I came out she started behaving very strangely whenever I am around. For example, she doesn't call me by my name or my deadname, and instead makes up strange nonsense words that she calls me. Then she gets angry when someone tries to correct her. I only see her at holidays and I always dread going whenever she has been invited because she makes me very uncomfortable.

The Debian logo is very similar to the progynova logo (progynova is estrogen). The above image is probably inspired by that.

I'm currently using Kubuntu, although I'm planning on switching to Debian or maybe NixOS at some point. Kubuntu works, but I don't like snaps, and even though I've removed them I'd rather just not ever have to deal with them.

I first started with Mint, but didn't like gnome/cinnamon which is why I switched to Kubuntu, but other than that it was fine.

  1. Have Nvidia card
  2. Change the driver to see if I can fix a weird graphical issue I was having.
  3. Rebooted computer and got stuck in boot loop because there was an error with the driver.

Genuinely what even is the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. I don't get how one is leftist and the other is liberal.

I don't use it because it makes blender run at like 5 fps for some reason.

I mean, be who you want. You can totally be AMAB and feminine and not be trans. I'm not telling people to "pick a side" or anything, just because we share similar experiences and I'm trans and you're not (I assume), that doesn't invalidate your existence or anyone else's.

I have a few memories from when I was somewhere between 2 and 4. One is of my sister getting some makeup (I think it was eyeshadow) for Christmas and I remember being very interested in it and trying to put it on.

Another is that I always loved hanging out in my sister's room and I remember liking to watch her put on nail polish and I would always ask her a million questions about it while she was doing it. I also liked playing with my sisters old toys more than some of my own. My parents got me toy cars, dinosaurs, and that type of stuff, which I did play with occasionally, but my most played with toys were my sister's old dolls.

I'm a trans woman and I started to express my self femininely when I was just a toddler. I grew up in a rural area where I was always told that I am a boy and that I will grow up into a man who will have a wife and many children. I genuinely had never heard of queer people until I was tween, when my peers started using gay as an insult. If I had been taught about queer people when I was a kid, I definitely would have realized that I am trans then, and I wish I had been because being raised as a boy when you are a girl is extremely traumatic.

People can be born with all sorts of strange and terrible conditions, but somehow there are people who think babies can't be born with a brain that is a different sex than their body. Either that or they think the body should take precedence over the brain which is insane considering only one of those is sapient.

Hey! I'm a trans FOSS enthusiast studying computer science and I hope to be a FOSS dev sometime in the future.

I stay inside pretty much all day. In terms of hanging out irl, the closest I do is vc lol. It actually would be nice to hang out with someone irl though.
