Please follow the egg prime directive.

So many people tried to tell me I was trans and I was but it just led me to me repressing memories and avoiding the topic. It was extremely harmful to me that all of my friends did this.

What worked was someone sending me to a website and saying "read this, if you have any questions, I'm here for you and I have some answers and more websites."

Franzia ,

Thats not how trans actually works though. You can't just be convinced youre trans if youre not. Well I suppose a male who wants feminine skin could be a femboy. But otherwise? Every currently masculine person who would like to be feminine... Is some sort of transfem.

Franzia ,

As someone who this meme applies to perfectly - this meme doesnt explain why I had angry mannerisms or why I wouldn't put on cute clothes (I didnt accept myself, had gender dysphoria etc.) So its not really hitting the mark as helpful / informative even when it hits that perfect target audience. Thank you for pointing out the many other issues with it that I'm not as aware of.

Franzia ,

Thank you sweaty I had a good chuckle

Franzia ,

Same

Franzia ,

Because definitionally they believe 'the diagnostic criteria for transgender is dyspgoria. The cure to dysphoria is HRT. Take the medicine.'

And I think this message was helpful to me, to read "take the medicine, you need HRT to feel better." - I'm a trans female. This message doesn't apply to like more than half of all trans people, and for some odd reason they also use it to exclude those trans people. Euphoria is also diagnostically trans, and HRT isnt the right treatment for most trans people. Youre valid.

Franzia ,

Definitions change based on who they are useful for. The medical definition used to say dysphoria only, and now its starting to say euphoria too. Because thats valid.

And saying you're queer while claiming to be a straight male to prove a point might be... Rebellious, but Im glad youre trying the labels on for size. Youre valid.

Franzia ,

and they still dont find you valid? ☹️ wtf

Franzia ,

I'm so sorry you were told that. I'm glad you know its bullshit and you're spreading the message with this meme. I thought I was aware to the extent transmeds were transphobic... Nope, you've shown me where the goalpost really got moved to.

Franzia ,

You like taking hormones, dont you?

Franzia ,

I'm pretty sure the people who still use Twitter use it for the drama. Mastodon and Bluesky just aren't as spicy to them. Hell, Mastodon takes setting up to even get anything interesting.

Franzia ,

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used.
...
But after some talking with friends, I think we're living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists' livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren't the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

Franzia ,

A surprisingly high number of leftists still use it as well.

Franzia ,

Well this is fascinating

Franzia ,

Well this is fascinating

Franzia ,

Where can I learn? Many communities I'm in have a TOS they have to abide by.

Franzia ,

True

Franzia ,

Last year was brutal and I'm still dealing with problems that should've fit neatly in one calendar year.

Franzia OP ,

I dont know, sorry

Franzia OP ,

I think Slovene got it best. The character is just shamelessly drooling over something on her phone, and her family can tell she's a big pervert. Hehe.

Franzia ,

Power to ya

Franzia ,

Can I get this as part of my gender affirming care plan?

Franzia ,

This sucks so bad. Please no.

Franzia ,

I think AI isnt exploitative by nature. The companies that own it of course are. AI is better as a technology if you are anti-copyright, as copyright almost universally protects profits of publishers and the owning class rather than creative laborers. However, AI also rarely makes interesting images or posts. Its kinda shit.

My take is I'm play with banning AI, but if someone in our community had the skills to use it to make quality posts I would be very open to it.

AI: ban it. Keep an eye open for quality AI posts though.
Moldy: Ban it.

Franzia ,

I really disliked this feature of many reddit subs where they'd have day of the week themes and posts. This idea in itself is moldy, its just reminds me of a smelly office atmosphere.

Franzia ,

Me too

Franzia ,

NGL the thing that will improve the quality of c/196 is getting me to follow the rule and encouraging original posts rather than sharing content. What makes a community great is understanding those who are in it.

Franzia ,

Never seen this before and its great!
My education greatly lacked graphic design, the use of symbols and tricks pretty much entirely.

Franzia ,

Mossy your presence is very well appreciated, sporadic as it may be.

Franzia ,

Yay

Franzia ,

Its a game where you ride a grocery cart down a hill and have to avoid obstacles. The hill is infinitely long and your score is based on how long you can go.

Maayyybe unlike the usual lanes type system of an infinite game, where you can only move left and right into locked positions, in this game you can move freely left and right. With sway, and hitboxes?

Small cast of characters where each one has abilities and perks. And because its my idea... I want them all to be cute girls who are delinquent and dirty, as opposed to the usual princesses. I'm thinking a style a bit like Splatoon.

Franzia ,

Why would all men have penis? But there are men who dont?

Franzia ,

I care
:3

Franzia ,

Cute!

Franzia ,

:3

Franzia ,

You compared communists to ethno-staters. There's extremist and there's radical.

Franzia ,

Well, you've made a mistake so I don't have to. Thanks for sharing!

Franzia ,

What do I say if I wanna be one of the girls pampering and kissing the :3 person?

Franzia ,

XD

Driving Today was SO Obnoxious

I had to drive to and from an appointment twice today (drop off and pick up)(not a school) and I faced like... A dozen moments of aggression from other drivers. From being cut off, to being blocked from merging. Some dangerous, others harmless. Just a dozen pointless but intentionally rude moments. Usually I'm getting tailed on...

Franzia OP ,

I havent gotten to try Amtrak. You havent driven for years? Thats awesome!

Franzia OP ,

Oh wow! I wouldnt have guessed Portland would be any safer to drive than anywhere else, despite its reputation for being unique at... Well literally everything else. 😅

Franzia ,

We talk about sleep defecit as if its a real thing can we start talking about the touch defecit? The general... Life adventure defecit? 😔
