I worry that if/when Lemmy becomes popular enough the larger communities will be targeted in the same way…

I never knew factorio has a Linux version. I hear the factory calling me again. You might not see me for a few days.

There would have to be some dramatic changes in the world socially and politically before I’ll feel even remotely comfortable having kids. Also my finances would need to change.

And my family also has some genetic issues I’d rather not pass on.

Adoption is an option, but I’m pretty sure I don’t even want one in the first place. When I was younger I thought having kids seemed like a sucker’s game. My opinion has softened on that a bit, but it’s still difficult to imagine actually wanting children.

There’s also a lot of variance within the US. In some towns prom is huge. In my home town it wasn’t as much. Many students elected not to go at all.

You explicitly asked about apartments tho

Near all apartments around me have exclusively open-air parking, so this isn’t a viable solution for many. It’s not that the available power is inadequate, it’s non-existent.

An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however…

Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there’s any public transit at all it’s probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near ‘downtown’.

These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn’t happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

Oh yeah. Especially if you work as a flight attendant, so you’ll have to play someone else to care for it when you’re away.

Probably rationalized it as being cheaper than legal fees + additional damage to his reputation from a public trial.

Or it happened and he’d have lost.

WHAT!? TIL

Nothing, just that ‘I use arch’ is a meme so overused that its cliche. Arch and plasma are great, hence why I use them

Vanilla Arch w/ KDE plasma (I know)

It was a bit of a struggle at first but that’s what I signed up for. Very happy with the finished result.

So infowars is likely to be sold. To whom? I’m hoping comedy central picks it up and turns out into a recurring segment on the daily show

And enormously outperforming the original, too. A shame, I like threes.

tar --version

You’re welcome

The post neither implies nor states that ‘closet trans’ and ‘shitty cis’ are the only possibilities. There’s obviously a lot of cis men who would take the offer of transition information in stride. The OP isn’t judging you.

As for the whole American thing, you’re right, you did go wild.
