Because it's a lot simpler and avoids the issue of dealing with printer drivers on all your machines.

I don't know the context here because I am not American. That being said I can see it being useful that there is a record somewhere that someone has transitioned and what medical steps this involved for no other reason than their safety. Things like HRT, or any kind of surgery can have serious complications. Even gender dysphoria itself can lead to suicide. There should be some mechanism in place for Doctors to get this information quickly, and by nature that would probably involve the government. It should obviously be protected information like any other piece of medical data not available to all government workers unless it directly concerns their responsibilities.

It's not an excuse. Socketed RAM has been a bottleneck for iGPUs for a while now.

They kind of did. What other chip allows for 128 GB of VRAM or has that kind of iGPU?

I really am not sure that's true. I think that has more to do with socialization than one actually being more competitive. I am supposedly a guy and I rarely feel that competitive over stuff like gaming, and that's despite having anger issues for a good portion of my life.

As someone else said misogyny tends to push women away from these communities as well.

I mean I am at least normatively a guy and I would have to consider a relationship with an alien. Could definitely be interesting. Humans are very flawed creatures and are frequently disappointing.

You know I am honestly not so sure. I have seen people who definitely aren't healthy, and probably not emotionally secure who get and sometimes keep relationships. It's a lot more complex than you think. Some part of this is because obviously people with similar issues want to be together, but I think as well that things like physical attractiveness do have a role. It's also the case that being a nice person and being emotionally stable aren't actually the same thing, and often don't go together. In fact to me it seems like people who have issues are actually less judgemental. Some of the worst people are those who have never struggled with anything.

It's like how people have this concept that they either are or aren't worthy of love. I don't think that's even a valid idea to begin with as there is no universal standard for what people want in a partner. Someone either wants you or they don't, worthiness just isn't a large factor.

If right wing (or even other leftist groups) came into an explicitly tankie community and started arguing with people how would you react?

Also do you actually know what tankies are? They aren't the majority in any country I know of. Non-tankie doesn't even mean right wing. Anarchists are further left than tankies.

Is this a joke?

[–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.

I don't think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.
