It's called a skeuomorph, and many times the camera symbol is one too, as most modern cameras don't look like that.

I'm more excited for Paralives tbh.

Same. The vast majority of us are idiots.

Maintaining continuity of consciousness is the only thing that would make me feel comfortable with converting myself to a machine intelligence.

From memes cant, this translates to "always has been," though case and tense may vary.

Well have fun, maybe you'll see me some other year.

Well that's cool. If you pop by in 2-3 weeks (we go the last two weeks, once with kids and one without) and see a guy with a beard in old skiing goggle sunglasses and pseudo-Viking regalia feel free to say hi and I'll know I met a fellow weird nerd from Lemmy lol.

Maryland Renfest? We go there in a couple weeks, it's always a good time. Love to see everyone's fun costumes and drink mead.

Victor's creation's name was Adam. Adam Frankenstein.

Never dehumanize fascists or fascist-sympathizers (redundant but ok), it's always important to remember that bad faith actors or their stooges are human and cannot be entirely eliminated from society, which is why people that fight for positive change have to set the rules such that bad faith actors' actions are either quickly recognized and mitigated, or have society structured such that even those motivated solely by unempathetic selfishness can only achieve status by masking and contributing positively anyway.

Alternatively, as a form of scrotal elephantiasis, it could be a parasitic infection, swollen lymph nodes from either disease or medical procedures like radiotherapy, or more rarely a hernia that causes the intestines to drop into the scrotum.

Yep, my point being that a trans man (AFAB) and a cis man (AMAB) both have their bed nucleus of the stria terminalis roughly the same size, twice the size of a woman's. A woman's is half the size of a man's, regardless of whether she's trans (AMAB) or cis (AFAB). So regardless of what the gender is assigned at birth, the relative size of the bed nucleus predicts the gender that the individual feels most comfortable as.
