It sank in 1912. Length of time is relative.

The statement is completely age dependent. Not too long ago(before the movie), it was pretty newsworthy any time the next group reported that they were trying to find it.

Rick often goes off on these angry-boomer tangents. I give them a miss.

And if that’s the case, your comment means nothing.

That’s not very socialist of you.

I came to lemm.ee solely for it’s defederation from threads. If they ever choose to federate, I’ll move again.

I’m not going to shit on you, you seem pretty nifty. I think you’re right, as well. Many people have forgotten how to disagree with someone and now just regurgitate catch-phrases at each other. I’ve been working on improving that myself. It’s like reversing brainwashing or reconditioning. It’s been hard-wired into us at this point by the social network scene.

What a great ad.

Which is why I said “linux as a whole”. Many distros will try to undo the nerdery and neckbeardism that is built into the parent distros but as a whole, linux is going to always be less welcoming to a new user than someone that’s used to useless warnings and repeated password entries for elevated privileges. Being safer and being new-user-friendly rarely go hand in hand.

Yes but surely you’re aware that even the most new-user-friendly distros and their tools aren’t necessarily aimed at new users.

That warning is a perfect example of how Linux developers choose which hill to die on. They post a warning for an app that everyone knows can deliver bad times to two camps of users; those that know and don’t care and those that don’t understand the warning. If we could quantify the helpfulness of that warning, odds are that it saved 0 users from malicious action from that avenue of attack.

Never expect Linux as a whole to be “helpful” to the new crowd.

That might not work either. If a server marks it as spam, we do something called blackholing the email, meaning we discard the email and close the connection without responding to the sending server. This is done in an effort to provide as little info as possible to a bad actor.

If you don’t send an email from a server and address deemed reputable and with a low enough spam score, you’ll be shut down by more than 95% of the mail servers out there.

There’s really not enough info here to help you. Are you looking for software? Writing it from scratch? Web tool? Bulk or not?

I don’t know how many addresses you plan on testing on any one server but we’ve been on to this trick for decades now and the firewall will block you from almost every server once you try a non-existent address a few times(for my servers, it’s 2). Many servers also report bot/spam IPs to the ISP and if you get reported enough time, your connection could get shut down.

Schadenfreude intensifies.

I appreciate titles that let you know you don’t need to waste time watching it.

Cat’s in the cradle?

This was incredibly helpful, thanks for the explanation. As I learn more, it’s helped me understand better why people choose such a hard path in their life. It’s been very hard for me to understand what could make a person face such hostility but I’m starting to get it.

A better comparison would be if you had a third arm, or if you were short one arm due to a genetic anomaly or injury. You may feel social pressures that you may not fit in or maybe you feel body dysmorphia about your body being different from other people you identify with. You likely would want to seek care to more closely align your body to one that is socially expected.

This was very helpful, thank you. I also understand better regarding gender-affirming care. That seems very hard to receive currently, at least in the US. Perhaps it’s being politicized by those in power but I see more comments about not being able to receive any care than I do about successful treatment.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you feel the surgeries are necessary to feel as at peace with yourself as you can or do you feel that the steps you’ve taken to this point might suffice in giving you a chance at a happy life? If you feel the surgeries are a necessary step, can you put into words why? Unlike society forcing things on you, it seems at the point of surgery, it has less to do with that and more with changing you for you. I struggle to understand what causes a person to feel that way.

I’m definitely not asking you to justify your desires and I understand if you’d rather not speak about it to me, I’m just wondering if you can help me understand the necessity of something that seems like such a drastic measure to me. The reason behind it must be very powerful.

Thanks very much for taking the time to help.

However, not every trans person is going neatly from one gender box to another. Maybe they like a few certain things picked up from their assigned gender, maybe they’re nonbinary, maybe they’re gender non-conforming (think of feminine gay men and butch lesbians for examples of cis people like that). Trans people deserve to have at least as much range of gender expression as that!

This really stuck for me. Straight people really do the exact same thing. We pick and choose how we’d like to be perceived every time we get dressed and go outside. Where (at least in the US) I and my friends grew up getting army stuff for presents, girls got dolls and toy kitchens. The gender training is quite strong from the beginning and I can only imagine how bad one would feel when they get a kitchen for their entire lives and they just want to play with some GI Joe stuff. On top of being shoved into a container you don’t fit into, it seems culturally, we try to punish the people that don’t fit our social container for them.
