The adults are gonna be alright

Couldn’t be me talking from personal experience 🫠

Yeah it’s definitely not a monolith. There were always those cis-hating types of spaces around and that’s just counterproductive. Luckily my experience is in the “let’s figure it or together” types of spaces which are far and away the majority. But everyone remembers the most irritating voice which is often also the loudest.

I think there’s also a phase a lot of people go through in their journey where they feel a need to over-express their new identity. That can lead to social growing pains.

I meant the Royal “you”. Fixing.

I’ve been in the leftmost spaces most of my adult life. Accommodations for nuance have generally cost me a few calories in processing thought and not misgendering people but tha’ts it. It was annoying at times to learn new things but the impact on my ability to experience and navigate the world was nil. The benefits were that i got to have deeper connections with my friends of various genders and ethnicities.

I think if someone’s coming from an unchallenged experience of masculinity that when people ask for accommodation they feel it as a personal attack because they never had to expend a single calorie of energy on it before, and now someone is asking them to.

It also just takes a looooong time (decades even) to get over one’s own insecurities because it’s easy to hide those behind a mask of masculinity. That part takes a lot more effort whereas the manosphere tells you that you don’t have to climb that mountain because actualization is achieved hiding behind that mask.

A weird assumption that an occupation would cut down corruption.

Yes but we’re in the bait and switch phase of it. They’re pushing the AI responses at the top of search to cut down the through clicking to Wikipedia. They’re trying to capture behavior by being the lowest effort route to an answer. They’re gambling that people will forget these other sites and then stop donating. Then it’s to the courts until they’re too broke to keep the servers online.

The information will still be free, but maybe obfuscated enough that most people accept [erratic] information as a service.

Of course there will be a completely free and fair, totally not rigged election, and not a hint of voter suppression. It is America after all. I suspect with the job he’s doing there will be about 93% trump voters, give or take a few points, across the board.

I guess some people can’t imagine a 2-lane, opposed traffic route/rural highway. 🤷

I bought “nice” clothes for work (chinos, sweaters, fashionable boots) and then someone flirted with me while i was wearing them and i noticed some people checking me out. I only wear “nice” clothes now 🤣

Mid-thirties and I’ve been crushing on people like I’m 16 again.

His work on malaria in Africa focused on bed nets to the explicit exclusion of larvacide control of mosquitoes. Millions of preventable cases over the last 30 years.

Then there’s the circumcision to fight aids.

Guy’s a fuckwit.

Behind the bastards

This is why they want Wikipedia and internet archive, etc, killed off. They have it for their training data but they won’t have a profitable model via paid subscriptions without a monopoly on information.

Fine enough for the car ahead of you but then there’s the issue of oncoming traffic.

Did you get a diagnosis?

If not, it’s possible this is anxiety from the relationship in a bad feedback loop.

You seem to have some avoidance, she seems removed emotionally(exhaustion), and you both probably need to work on boundaries.

I don’t mean to project. My last relationship of 5 years is almost perfectly described by your post including seeking an ADHD diagnosis in therapy. In my case it turned out she was never able to be emotionally available to me in the first place. That drove her to be critical of me and not provide intimacy which in turn caused me to be in a constant increasing state of anxiety about what next thing will I have fucked up. Severe executive dysfunction…

I’m inclined to think the fans are more for fanning the plants so they can perspire and breathe more readily. Many plants need a breeze to grow well.

It’s called diffusion. Unless the greenhouse is hermetically sealed, and the rate of consumption does not exceed the rate of diffusion, the ratio of CO2 will be similar to that outside.

A simple vent will be enough if not just small gaps in the structure.

Yep. Tennis shoes on 300C+ rock not particularly good protection
