but without estrogen my brain is violently disconnected from reality

If you've never felt dysphoric, how did you end up finding this out? I'm super curious as to what you were/are feeling that led you to discovering this.

They do this to a captive audience because if people had the choice, they wouldn’t willingly suffer this inanity. It’s rapist mentality and abhorrent behavior.

Didn't GoPro start requiring online activation of their cameras a while back? Like customers couldn't use it out of the box until they installed the smartphone app and activated it?

Edit: Looks like GoPro did try doing it by using dark patterns first and then getting more aggressive.

Deezer played ICE recruitment ads last year on their service.

My mind has been changed by comments on here.

People can be quite informative, patient, and empathetic. They can write eloquently and persuasively. I'm glad for those people who have helped me change my mind on topics where my view was wrong because of my ignorance or flawed logic.

But in all honesty, I probably would have been better served by in-person public discourse on those topics instead of spending my time reading a bunch of takes from strangers on the internet. In person, you (usually) know everyone participating is real. You can gauge their sincerity by their tone & inflection, facial cues, and body language.

While my mind has been changed by people on here commenting, I still would much rather step away from the internet and talk to people face to face about the topics that effect us the most.

This stuff is why I don't comment much on Lemmy.

Same. I used to post more, under previous accounts, calling out sexism and misogyny on Lemmy when I saw it. But when my simple, respectful posts calling out toxic behavior got more downvotes than upvotes, I decided it wasn't worth my time to try and change the collective thinking on Lemmy.

Everyone deserves access to clean and safe drinking water.

Even that guy.

Deezer was playing ICE recruitment ads last year. I think it's important for people to know so they can make a more informed decision.

Ohh, I get it!

Thank you for saying that.

A lot of people learn this kind of pranking from others and they don't see the harm in it, but it really is toxic behavior. I don't know why anyone would want to make a loved one feel bad on purpose.

A good prank will have everyone enjoying it.

FYI Pandora was playing ICE recruitment ads on their service last year.

Years ago, I once started a new warehouse job, and on day 4, as I was moving inventory on a pallet jack, I see a guy in a forklift zipping by...wearing headphones...plugged into an ipod.

Everyone just accepted this. I didn't, and I quit at the end of my shift, and told them why. I wasn't about to get killed by someone driving a forklift who can't hear their surroundings. Maybe I overreacted, but with how common forklift accidents are, I wasn't taking the chance.

As someone who has both the Switch 2 and the Switch 1 OLED, I appreciate the performance boost that some of my games get with the 2, but I miss my OLED after giving it to my partner. I have even borrowed it a few times for handheld play because of the better screen and longer battery life.

Ultimately it's up to you and how badly you want to play Switch 2 exclusives right now. Devs are going to keep making Switch 1 compatible games for years, especially given current global economic trends and the scaling back of larger game dev studios.

Personally, I would wait for Nintendo to make a Switch 2 with a better display. The display on mine is full of ghosting and once you notice it, you can't un-see it and it's disappointing.

Yeah, the inertia only works like 60% of the time. I have the exact same trackball settings set on my steam deck, steam controller 1, and steam controller 2.

For inertia:

-Steam deck trackpads work perfectly.

-Original steam controller trackpads have interia about 90% of the time i flick my thumb.

-New steam controller trackpads work poorly and only have interia about 50-60% of the time.

Also is your username based on the Witchspring character? Or something else?

Yes! Love that series 🙂

I would love to get the most out of my trackpads, but trackball mode is currently broken on the new steam controller. Valve is aware of the problem, so hopefully they are working on a fix.

That sounds great! Sometimes I want that too. I think downvotes have value when the content presented is misinformation, as a warning to people that a post should not be trusted and should be avoided. But that could also be accomplished by responding to the post.

I have a Kinekt dual-spring suspension seatpost that I have been riding on for years. For the most part, I really like it and it works well to smooth out bumps in my ride. It has a decent amount of travel for shock absorption.

However, it requires having the correct springs installed for the rider's weight. If the springs are too soft, you'll bottom out or bounce up and down as you pedal. Springs that are too stiff will nullify any benefit of having a suspension.

It takes time to dial it in, but for anyone who suffers from back or pelvic pain, I recommend a good suspension seatpost.

Those are closer to 40000 cc in that photo.

In the US, silicone and saline implants top out at about 750cc - 800cc. Afaik most plastic surgeons in the US won't place an implant larger than that, although some will overfill a saline implant to over 1000cc.

An 800cc implant is large on any body frame 6ft tall and under.

GHD Platinum +. I have been using it for over 8 years now and it's still working like new. Best flat iron I have ever owned.

Only downside is there is a gap on mine between the plates and housing on one side that's just wide enough to catch a strand of hair sometimes.
