I don't think it has to do with being female or anime. I think OP is saying that they're either a transgender woman or a femboy who is still in the closet

I was and continue to be shocked that there are conservative Star Trek fans. I just can't wrap my head around how they justify it. It's very clearly painting socialism and left leaning ideas as the universally correct ideals which will lead us to a utopia.

TLDW: James Somerton is a gay man and a YouTube content "creator" who has recently been outed as a plagiarist by Hbomberguy and Todd In The Shadows. He primarily steals content from other lesser known queer content creators which just makes his plagiarism all the more insidious.

He has also strangely been proven to be guilty of spreading pseudohistory in which he changes details of historic events.

He has also been accused of a Patreon scam by making a (now deleted) video pleading with his subscribers on YouTube that he can't make ends meet and he'll have to stop making videos if he doesn't get more Patreon subscribers. He got 1200 new patrons from that video. He apparently immediately purchased an $8000 camera afterwards which people describe as a "bizarre purchase" for someone who was just in financial dire straits. Also, there was no evidence of him having suffered a drop in subscribers that he claimed was the reason for his financial situation.

He has also been accused by YouTuber and Nebula creator Jessie Gender of transphobia. She says that James Somerton has gone out of his way to erase any queer content creators who were not cisgender gay men, and that he intentionally misgenders other transgender content creators constantly.

It seems like the inciting incident for all of these YouTube and Nebula content creators to go after him was James' application to become a Nebula content creator. I suppose they started gathering evidence to provide against his membership and they ended up finding so much that they created these videos and levied formal accusations.

Here's a slightly more in-depth read from Wikitubia for anyone interested in reading further: https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/James_Somerton#Controversies

Guys, it's not one or the other. We can have trees and algae tanks. Trees can still offer all of the benefits they do like shade and beauty while algae tanks can be used to increase fresh oxygen. Algae is much better at absorbing CO2 than trees and providing clean air which is a big problem in a busy city.

Garak is a Bashir-sexual and Keiko is not Bashir enough for him.

I had to look this one up. Basically "awwtysm" sounds like "autism".

Avery would absolutely deliver that line exactly as you wrote it. His acting in DS9 is so delightfully unhinged, way over the top and campy, I love it!

It means "if you are able to stop safely, you MUST STOP. Otherwise, you must go through the light quickly".

I'm so tired of people thinking that nihilism (Nietzsche's main philosophy for those unaware) is depressing. It's not at all, it's actually very hopeful and liberating. Nihilism can basically be boiled down to "nothing matters" which sounds depressing, but what it really means is that "nobody can tell you what matters from your perspective, only you can decide what matters to you". It was considered depressing and was railed against by the public at the time because it goes against religious teaching which tells you that religion matters objectively and unquestioningly.

It's extremely liberating even today despite religion not having a choke hold on society as much as it did during Nietsche's time. It's liberating because if what truly matters to you is shitposting on Lemmy, then that's great! Go live your most meaningful existence! Enjoy yourself and be proud of your accomplishments in that field! You choose your own worldview and what matters to you, and that's obviously a very a positive thing, it's not depressing or morose or narrow-minded and I'm tired of people just boiling it down to "Nihilism is for depressed people".

It makes sense to either go general to specific or specific to general. MM-DD-YYYY is neither.

Yeah, either put quotes around it '/like this/you can incorporate/spaces/into your paths' or /just\ escape/your\ spaces/like\ this

Serious question, what exactly does do do? In my terminal I can see that do is a command but all I get is bash: syntax error near unexpected token do'and obviously with such a common name it's hard to find information on google about whatdo` actually does.

I currently work part-time as a bus driver and I just wanna say that it's incredibly hard to determine who is right or wrong when you didn't see what happened and you're just going by what each kid says. If you only see the tail end of a fight, you might wrongfully think the kid retaliating is the bully. 99% of the time it's easier to just separate the kids and/or punish them both equally since it's impossible to determine who the victim and the perpetrator is. It sucks, it feels really bad, but that's the reality of the situation.

The thing is that if someone is bothering you, then you need to go to the teacher. If you set a precedent that one kid is bothering you, then the teacher is more likely to believe you if you ever snap and hit your bully they'll be more understanding. But if you never say anything and then suddenly snap, then obviously it looks from the outside like you're the bully.

I personally love that these boys can still fully identify as men and use he/him pronouns while still exploring their personal styles and fashion choices. Men deserve the freedom to explore and be creative with their appearance. Being pretty shouldn't be exclusive to women!

Egg - a transgender person that has yet to come out of their "shell".

When a person first makes the realization that they might be transgender, it's referred to as "cracking your egg" in the trans community.

Also, in popular culture it's commonplace to say that a person who is in denial is "putting up walls", so an egg is like a type of wall that completely surrounds you. Cracking your egg involves tearing down those walls.

Yeah but C makes more sense. 0-10 is cold but not freezing, 10-20 is cool, 20-30 is warm, 30-40 is hot, 40+ is "you're gonna die of heat exposure! Get inside, what are you doing?!" increasing in urgency with the number. If it's in the negatives, it's the same as the 40+ except "cold exposure".

It's definitely from other instances voting on it. For example. I'm on the @kbin.social instance but I'm commenting on your post from @jeemy.jeena.net

Also, this doesn't really have to do with your point but it's interesting none-the-less, it's really hard to keep view count numbers accurate when you've got multiple servers involved. The view count is accurate and every view is being counted, but any time you look at it, it's not exactly correct. If you think about how each server might get a view count update from the server at different times, and then add the views that only it sees to the view count, and then when it goes to add it's view counts to the central count and get a new updated number there may have been dozens of other server that have updated the view count at various times between then and now.

It all gets very complicated but I think it's kind of neat that a view count number can be accurately kept track of and yet every time you look at it, it's not exactly correct.

"I can't post racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic bullshit to Lemmy without getting banned? CENSORSHIP! WE GOT CENSORSHIP OVER HERE!" -OP probably

YESSSSS! I've been saying for years that it's time for a Highlander reboot. The original series is hard to watch now because TV writing, special effects, and stunt choreography is so much better now! A Highlander series would be amaaaaazing today! SO PUMPED!

Also, Henry Cavill is SUCH A GOOD CHOICE! He's a huge nerd that takes his roles very seriously and loves to keep the show lore accurate and deep!

I've definitely noticed a difference since transitioning to female when I go to a hardware store I get asked if I need help way more than before.

ShaunaTheDead,
@ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social avatar

It's a combination of all of the above, I'm sure. Probably some sexism, but it could also be that now that I'm happier I project a friendlier attitude making me more approachable. I guess I'll never know!

I've definitely noticed that women are muuuuuuch friendlier toward me since transitioning which is really nice. Other women meet me eyes instead of averting it and usually flash a genuine smile (not a sheepish one like before), and will usually say something even if just a quick "hi!".

On the other hand, men are much more standoffish and weird around me, which I'm totally fine with lol

It's crazy that we gave away so much real estate to cars like in this cartoon and how we let the auto industry start blaming pedestrians for getting hit by cars rather than the other way around.

I see other people have posted good explanations, but I think the simplest explanation has to do with how you break down numbers. Lets take a number, say, 124. We can rewrite it as 100 + 20 + 4 and we can rewrite that as 1 * 10^2 + 2 * 10^1 + 4 * 10^0 and I think you can see why anything raised to the 0th power has to equal 1. Numbers and math wouldn't work if it didn't.

Unfortunately this doesn't really faze Christians at all because many of them believe that God is the source of all that is good, and so by default anyone who worships God is also good by default, and of course this logic follows that anyone that doesn't worship God is evil by default.

Also, barring that, just because Satan punishes bad people doesn't make him good. He punishes bad people because he's jealous of God's love for Humans, and he hates them for it. He's more of an antihero I guess if you really wanted to paint him in a somewhat good light.
