Mossy Feathers (She/They)

If you don’t have the nerve to hold a stock for 30 years through ups, downs, crashes and rebuilds, there’s a thing called a high yield savings account that may better fit your current stage of life better and risk tolerance.

While this is usually true, I personally am discovering that I may need to liquidate all my stocks to pay for an escape plan. If the stock market crashes, that will change what I can do to escape.

Rockbox is cool, I just wish it was able to replace the base system without touching the UI. Something about it just feels off on an iPod. Even supposedly iPod-accurate themes just feel uncanny.

God I wish. I have boy genes though and slightly above average height (even for guys).

Bleh.

Wish there was an en-smallening procedure. It’s harder to feel intimidated by a guy (which can be a bad thing or a good thing, depending on the atmosphere) when you’re taller than he is.

7~8 days while camping (boy scout winter camp).

1~2 during a bad power outage.

I don’t really want to be in an enclosed space like that with a stranger, especially a man. Men can be psychos and it’s not worth the risk.

Yes, women can be psychos too, but A) women are less likely to feel entitled to another woman’s body, and B) the playing field is more level in terms of strength.

I’m 30. Just recently started living. The past few months have been a blur of excitement, happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, frustration, fear, and basically every other emotion imaginable. I have been in shock multiple times; and I have experienced overwhelming euphoria too. Things are turning around, and it’s slow, painful and scary as fuck, but they’re turning around.

My friends aren’t abusive.

My friends actually love and care about me.

I feel like I have a functional family (even if I still have to live with my bio family)

I feel like I have a home (even if I’m still stuck in my parents house)

I’ve also become aware of how lonely I am. How broken I am. How my parents did a great job of cratering any chance I had of being a functioning, successful person. How my parents terrible advice regarding dating and socializing meant I missed out on some of the best years of my life.

Yet, the thing that’s been the most encouraging is that I haven’t been told to leave all my baggage at the door. No, they (my friends) let me bring my baggage with me and start unpacking in front of them. I have never felt so supported and cared about, and while I wish they could do more, I wouldn’t trade them for anyone. They’re slowly teaching me how to be a person and it makes me so happy. I love them very much <3

Not when the author proudly flaunts the fact that every dime spent on her works goes towards eradicating trans people. (Yes, that was a bit hyperbolic, but she absolutely has stated that if you’re enjoying Harry Potter then you’re helping her fight against trans people).

To be fair, I honestly enjoy Harry Potter. However, I don’t want to give people the temptation to buy books or go see movies.

No offense intended, but… Attempting to create Harry Potter themed communities while JK Rowling holds the rights to them, on a social media platform with a huge trans/enby population, doesn’t seem like it would go very far.

As much as I enjoy Harry Potter, fuck Rowling and I will be looking forward to the day she dies or sells the IP.

You aren’t the asshole. A Nazi apologist is still a Nazi. The apologists are the ones who open the gates so the Nazis can get in.

Could this be used to make a space elevator?

I live in a small town in europe, built a house and well it takes me about 25 minutes to the next bigger city (not huge one, lets say 50.000 people live there.

I sometimes find myself getting frustrated because the next gym is 7 minute drive by car to another smaller town.

It took me about 15min to get to a furry meetup today. I live in the same city as the meetup. I have a friend who regularly drives across town to see their boyfriend. They’re over an hour away from each other. They live in the same county iirc.

That’s just how things go.

As for cost, look into parks and stuff like that. Meet people at parks or libraries. If nothing exists, start something. Distribute pamphlets. Look for hobby sites that let you advertise meetups. Go on dating sites and invite a bunch of people to a date at the same place so y’all can play Mario kart together. Pass out flyers. You can do it!

What OP is talking about is actually a real thing. Sovcit stuff, not so much.

Is there a way to set up a vps as a seedbox with a cloud storage provider as storage? VPSes have almost no storage, and I already have a cloud storage provider with a fuckton of space; so spending $30+ a month on a dedicated seedbox seems unnecessary.

Nope, they’re mostly all bark, no bite. You have to actually harass them to get them to bite you, even if they’re showing their teeth. Their bite strength is one of the lowest among mammals too. That said, supposedly their teeth are actually really sharp.

Yeah, but isn’t kinda well established that the “lasers” in star wars are actually plasma guns and George Lucas is just a dumbass who doesn’t know how light works?

Alright, so, in Texas you’re not allowed to own an opossum as a pet. There is no license for owning a pet opossum (they’re “fur-bearing animals”). However, there is a license that’ll let you kill opossums for their fur. Furthermore, said license allows you to trap them. The interesting part is that there’s no legal requirement for you to actually kill the opossum if you trap one. You can trap the opossum and take possession of it for however long you like.

So basically a hunting license (might have been a trapping license?) lets you effectively own an opossum as a pet in Texas!

Edit: also, yes, opossums are as soft as they look, which is why people used to hunt them for their fur. I got a chance to pet one and it was about as soft, if not softer, than a cat. Also very boney, like cats.

This is already kind of a thing. There used to be a twitch channel where they had news generated with chatgpt, presented by AI-voiced characters, but I can’t remember what the channel was called. It may not even exist anymore.

I don’t have a choice. Being trans is part of my identity, whether I like it or not. It’s not a diagnosis, it’s a label describing who I am. The idea of having to “boy-mode” the rest of my life because I have to bend to the will of some dumbass, PoS Karen who’s own family doesn’t love her, just because she might get offended by who I am is extremely painful. There’s a reason why suicide rates are extremely high among trans people. I cannot change who I am. I cannot cover it up forever. There will become a point at which, no matter how hard I try, it will become obvious that I’m trans.

Don’t say gay, don’t act gay, don’t be gay. That’s what “don’t say gay” is, and that’s exactly what OP is advocating for. And no, it shouldn’t matter if you’re straight or gay, but it does matter because there are more hateful idiots out there than there are loving people.

Your comment suggests you are affected by it, because you suggest that you can’t be open about it.

Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if you keep it to yourself, alt-righters love doxxing LGBT people and reporting them to their workplace. I have a trans friend who’s roommate was abusive, and he’d report her to her workplace as having lied on her resume. She went through several jobs as a result of trying to keep her identity a secret like you, because her roommate reporting her and getting her fired (she eventually found a job that didn’t give a fuck about her being trans, told him to go fuck himself and helped her move away from him).

Quite honestly I’m amazed this post has been left up because it’s basically “don’t say gay”. “Just don’t talk about it and it’s not an issue”. Yeah, it kinda is a problem if Karen gets pissed off because she saw me giving my boyfriend a smooch when he drops me off at my workplace.

Most of the stuff I torrent is off archive.org nowadays, but I’ve found way too many archive.org torrents that sit at 99.7% complete. I can’t figure out why that is. I’ve tried rechecking, redownloading, and so forth, but it just… Doesn’t finish.
