Living in Manchester, NH and getting very excited for a moment. =U

Nah, I actually respect hiking trails. =D

I carry a bluetooth speaker on my chest so that I can crank up my own personal soundtrack whenever unwanted audio is imposed on me. =U

So much this.

But yeah, missing a few essential human pieces is actually kinda no big deal, 'cuz all you need to make up for it is a few people who can accept you as you are.

I gave up on being people years ago, but since I found my persons, they’ve helped me blossom in ways I’d never imagined could be real. =O

Couldn’t relate. Our gf and we meow at each other. ~<3

“25,000 children”

Name one.

They kinda do? In that there are distributed protocols where there’s no distinction between a server and a host, but that kind of software doesn’t optimize for mobile use well and the growth model tends to be more linear than the geometric scaling afforded to centralized services. =/

AuADHD here, took an embarassing amount of time to figure out you were being sarcastic. XD

Genuinely though, between the emotional processing delays, and the heights of intensity and complexity they can reach, there could actually be a notable benefit if there was a tool that could warn us about impending feelings before they actually hit.

Don’t call them that!

Slandering the innocent perverts of the world by association with Facebook isn’t gonna make 'em quit marketin spookware to assholes who oughta know better. =U

You can like furries without being one, that’s fine too.

One of my fiancés was furry-adjacent for years before deciding they wanted to be one and made their first fursona. =D

Hey, same gender!

This.

I lived in denial for decades and drove myself to the point of literal breakdown trying to “act normal” before my maladaptive masking habits finally broke and killed my imposter syndrome for good. =D

The Time being, as distinct from:

Seems like a basic safety precaution too. Getting bad tires off the road means less accidents.

Dark thought, what if a supporter did it, 'cuz that kid is definitely getting their treatment paid for now.

I’d love for the Dems to start acting like an actual opposition party, but they’re owned by the same billionaires and not much has changed in the ten years since the party took a collective shit on Bernie so Hillary Clinton could have “Her Turn” like it was owed to her.

Vote however you want, but you have to do more than just vote if you want anything to change.

Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.

“Smart” TVs should be kept off the internet and only used as video output for actual computers.

IMO (and IANAL especially not of constitutional law) the executive branch has to prove to the courts that it has a compelling interest to keep such registries and that its need is such that less invasive recordkeeping would not serve that justifiable purpose. E.G., it needs a registry of voters to determine if someone is eligible to vote and in which jurisdiction, because without it the pollworkers would have no way to tell.

Under Strict Scrutiny, laws enabling such registries must be “narrowly tailored” (E.G., voter registration doesn’t need to know how much taxes you pay and your tax record doesn’t need to know which party you’re registered to) and employs the “least restrictive means” necessary to satisfy its compelling interest (E.G., they can’t charge you a fee to update your voter registration and there will always be a free option for filing your tax paperwork).

Keeping lists of trans folks serves no compelling interest, is not narrowly tailored to the interests it supposedly serves, and there isn’t even a civil means of determining whether or not one is on the list (to say nothing of correcting it for the folks that have undoubtedly been added to it in error). As such, it is prima facie unconstitutional.

Even the lowest bar of constitutional scrutiny, “Rational Basis”, would require that the law allowing the list be “rationally related” to a “legitimate goverent interest”, and I can’t think of anything less legitimate or rational than a government’s claimed need to get into everyone’s pants.
