It sounds like depersonalisation to me. A form of dissociation.

Lots of trans people deal with it when they’re closeted. I know I did.

I don’t understand. Why not do whatever you normally do to edit and post videos?

Make a video telling people you’ve moved

Kagi has an LLM community register they automatically use to filter their results

Time travel/alternate dimension stories that don’t just use infinite dimensions as a cheap way of avoiding complexity. Once you have infinite timelines, it’s all meaningless, because whatever story you’re trying to tell loses all sense of importance, because whatever didn’t happen in one version still happens in another. Who cares if the character saves their family, when there are an infinite variety of worlds where they’re not saved.

It’s possible to tell stories about infinite timelines, where the weirdness of having infinite duplicates is an important part of the story (Dark Matter).

It’s possible to tell stories where there are alternate timelines, but only a finite number (The Peripheral/Counterpart/Alice)

And it’s possible to tell stories where there is only one timeline, and gracefully navigate the paradox (The Pern Series/All You Zombies/11.22.63)

I can’t get enough of stories that handle it well!

I haven’t got this game yet, but if I’d have known it was the same folk that were behind Telltales Walking Dead, I’d have grabbed it weeks ago! That game was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had in gaming, so I’m looking forward to this one much more now!

Who said it would be entirely men?

First hand experience

'cause I know I feel welcome, and not completely othered and invalidated when I’m forced to play on a team that is otherwise entirely men, whom have athletic advantage over me

If only it wasn’t so cold! :)

I’ve never seen snow except through an airplane window

It depends on what those opposing viewpoints are. If they involve actively targeting and harming vulnerable people, I have no space at all for those viewpoints or the people that hold them.

For the other stuff, maybe a 7.

Well, in that regards, they’re similar to blahaj, as in, our instance doesn’t just have trans communities. Our user base is focused on trans and gender diverse folk however. Hexbear, similarly, has all sorts of communities, but their userbase is focused on shared politics, even though their areas of discussion are not restricted to that.

Hexbear is very protective of it’s trans users and it has a lot of them. But its “specialist area” is politics.

I think it’s a good thing, because it discourages centralisation. If we end up with a bunch of specialist instances, then diversity suffers, because everyone looking for a specific area will end up on the one single specialist instance dedicated to it.

And I say that as the admin of an instance focused on the trans and gender diverse folk. There is a reason that we don’t enforce specialisation on those topics in our instance communities though. Even so, we still tend to be “the trans instance”, when I’d much prefer it if we were just one of many, like we are on the microblog part of the fediverse.

On the chance that you’re engaging honestly, rather than just trolling…

WhatsApp, Roblox and Signal all run fine in Linux.

This is the ProtonDB page for Roblox. https://www.protondb.com/app/2181790. ProtonDB is a database that assesses how well windows games run under linux, and in this case, Roblox is Gold rated.

There are numerous WhatsApp apps and wrappers that run under linux, and Signal has an official Linux version found here https://signal.org/download/linux/

I’ve never been to the US, so I can’t say I won’t go there again, but I can say I won’t go there at all.

But in terms of countries I have been to, probably New Zealand. There’s nothing wrong with New Zealand, but it feels too much like Australia, and baring me suddenly developing an unlimited amount of time and money, there are other places I would rather go

To answer it seriously, for me, it’s not specifically cis, but more broadly, queer. I need someone who has faced the assumptions that society forces on them and knows how to exist in the world anyway, having faced those assumptions, questioned them and found their own relationship with themselves.

tl;dr I need people who have had to question who they are and find themselves, rather than someone who has never had to answer those questions.

Instance binned!

In my experience (as a trans woman who has experienced both sides of this coin), I can no longer get away with being topless in most situations. However, I can get away with wearing less in more situations. It’s acceptable for me to wear a short cut, sleeveless tank top or boob tube in situations where it would be difficult for a guy to wear a singlet or other sleeveless top.

Yep, blahaj.zone admin :)
