Kei trucks are banned in most US states not because of lobbying by American truck manufacturers, but because the government knows if they allow them on the streets, all depressed laborers under the age of 40 will use them to get isekai'd to a fantasy world governed by an obtuse leveling system.

Quick reminder that you have worth because you're here. That's the only requirement. You deserve respect, love, kindness, and joy for that reason and that reason only. Period. May all of them find you as soon, as often, and as much as possible.

Ngl this fucking sucks. Was one of my favorite characters when I played the game :c

Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

Just a reminder for my anti AI homies - check your twitch viewer rewards - they're trying to shill 3 months of duolingo (they use AI generated translations) You can opt out in creator dashboard -> viewer rewards -> rewards

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈

Bro if I had an accuracy rate of 57% in any job I worked, I'd be fired.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

"Well well well, suddenly we understand gender dysmorphia, don't we boys?" part 1

Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Go get a drink of water. See if you've taken your meds Eat something. Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing. Because you do. You're a wonderful person. And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

Be strong for those who cannot be. Be kind, but especially to those who seldom receive kindness. Be aware of your weaknesses, but also your strengths. Be smart, be brave, be loyal. In short, be a true warrior, and know I am proud to stand with you.

As a trans woman who is proudly anti-fascist, I'm just wondering if Trump designating me a terrorist TWICE cancels out? Am I back to upstanding citizen? Or am I a SUPER DUPER terrorist?

Happy Bi Visibility Day! To our bi+ community: You are seen, valid, and loved EVERY DAY. No one can take away your shine, your feelings, and your authenticity.

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

I need people to find the same energy they had for Jimmy Kimmel being suspended for the vulnerable & marginalized folks being targeted by the current “administration” in the US.

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

Being non-binary, my struggle with dysphoria ebbs&flows--I identify with some parts of my birth gender, but not the expectations. The last few years have been an experiment in drifting away from it to see when I feel unmoored; the edge of what I feel is comfortable in masculinity/femininity.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

if you see people parroting the "trans ideology on the bullet" theory, send them this

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

A lot of people currently calling for civility saw Kirk's violence as harmless because they weren't the primary target. The fact that being lower on the list is seen as safety is wild to me.

Convenient, after finding out that the government wants to take away my rights. Being told to honor his death and then be fed rhetoric that could get us killed, or worse. Fuck these people and their pearl clutching platitudes.

You gotta mourn the people who work hard to make sure you cease to exist or else we’re gonna think you’re immoral as we continue to work hard to make sure you cease to exist

Sincerely the worst thing about political discourse for the past 10 years is this insistence that we should hear everyone out and every stance is worth a debate. Espousing racist talking points and misleading stats doesn't make someone civil or even worth engaging.

Not saying anyone deserves anything, but it’d be weird to say it’s wrong to eat people while uncritically honoring the Purple People Eater in the same breath.

i have empathy. i have it for my trans friends, whom kirk wanted dead. i have it for my trans loved ones, whom i may never have known if he had gotten his way. i have it for my community who will have to survive through the effects of the shit that man said during his life. my priority is correct.

every democrat right now who has never once said "trans rights are human rights" falling over each other to post thoughts and prayers for a guy who wants us dead

I wish folks were serious about the reduction of violence, but that would require seeing denial of food, homes, and healthcare as violence in of itself, which creates a violent reaction in turn. There'd be less crime if people where cared for. But we don't encourage care for people hence violence.

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

periodic reminder they played the "well the _character_ is an AI so it *makes sense* to not pay a voice actor to give a compelling performance" card. And use gen-ai images generally in development. At least they admit it on the base game's page now.

I have been seeing Pepe more and more in chats. Please do not use them at all. There are plenty of alternatives out there. 🙂 www.thepinknews.com/2021/03/28/p...

It's a good day to be a VPN

Getting a VPN is pretty much becoming a requirement at this point.

if you want to take your feedback to SE start advocating/asking for more inclusive customization, like body types, pronoun options, muscle tone, age sliders, etc!! a really basic one for example is separating au ra horns from face type. don't focus on the loss of mare, ask them to fill the void.

just remember when you're doing donuts in celebration that the loss of this is also meaning that it will become a lot harder to have ppl see their character with the right body type or gender. for some ppl thats really valuable for their self-expression. ffxiv doesn't really give us alternatives.

a lot of people wouldn't get it, and that's fine, but this is a sad and difficult time for everyone involved directly or indirectly in the plugin community. my heart goes out to archon for having a passion project of three years ripped out from under him

Hopefully with 95% less technobabble. youtu.be/s-0brgSYDEM?...

If you use Firefox: Go into Settings, in the search bar type "Sidebar" and select "Show Sidebar." At the bottom of the sidebar, click "Customize Sidebar" (the little gear icon) and un-check the "AI Chatbot" box.

"You work in healthcare? What's the craziest thing you've seen?" I don't know man, but it's probably RFK Jr and this administration cutting vaccine funding, firing top health officials and scientists, linking fake studies to support "wellness" BS, letting children die of measles, shall I go on?
