DC is a bit of an oddity, it's not a state, so there's no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there's a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.

Definitely over stepping. Sure, if'n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it's not too bad.

This sounds familiar, I'm kinda the same way, I describe m'self as male as I happen to be that way, but if'n it changed tomorrow? Sure, why not, in fact several of my online characters are intersex, specifically the ones that I would be most happy becoming.
Yep, the ones that feel most right are a little from column A and a little from column B.
When it comes to sexuality, I've given up trying to figure that out, and simply refer to m'self as queer, since I think that and my gender are a bit mercurial, so an umbrella term that basically means not 'normal'/traditional/standard seems best.

Best I could say is do what makes you happy, and be patient, it's a journey, sometimes one without an end, sometimes with, so just explore and enjoy.

I use a Schlage model that I'm pretty happy with that is as far as I know compatible with Google Assistant, though I like it because it doesn't require a system like that.

Celebrities don't always cost much, you have to remember that those high rates they get paid are optional, there's a base pay for actors, and they can take that rather than their typical high pay if'n they want. Throw in that in a lot of ways voice acting is easier (no costumes, make up, no standing around for a scene to be set up, etc), and it's effectively a quick and easy buck for actors.

Does the old Google docs trick work? Promote a user to Admin, then remove yourself, now it's theirs.

I quite like Friendica for the purpose, venera.social I believe is one of the founding instances.

@lusterko I've had luck with inline images using code from IMGBB where I store my pics:

<a href="https://ibb.co/G5QH0N4"\>\<img src="https://i.ibb.co/G5QH0N4/IMG-20221031-134657.jpg" alt="IMG-20221031-134657" border="0"></a>

Though I will say going back, they seem to have broken, so we'll seen if'n this even works now.
Code:

Removable batteries are generally only found in bicycles, some scooters (this is a new thing) and occasionally autocycles.
As to the main problem, charging at home might not be necessary. I live in the US, and we have a Nissan Leaf that my husband uses to get to work, a 7 mile or so drive each way. With a range of around 200 miles, he only has to charge once a week at most, and until we got the charger installed here, he simply used a public charger or parked by the shop at work and plugged it in there.

I've tried it a couple times, it's neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I've also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that's reliable, all the one's I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they're calling it now, that's an active fork.

The UX, the other is...

...inline images, assuming that still works. I store my images on IMGBB which gives copy and paste code for the images, and this works here but not on Lemmy.

@shakcked I've had it on both, though on the computer I was able to get it to work by duplicating the tab, but that hasn't worked on Android. Android I'm trying out a few clients, I had problems with Lemmur and Jerboz so I found a few more to try. On the computer I have to use Epiphany to use Lemmy
