Every time I try to start on the game thing I always get stuck on art/graphics and that instantly kills my motivation

american politics be like you get to choose between someone who is openly evil in every way or someone who pretends to not be evil but is still evil
still, if you worry about every little thing you can't fix you'll just drive yourself insane

best to think about the stuff you can control, and try and make that stuff better

Been having a bit of a crisis over my name lately
I hate my legal name. I used to consider myself trans and eventually chose a name I liked much better. Eventually I decided not to transition and began to question whether or not I was trans, which threw a wrench into the whole name thing. Still not entirely clear on where exactly I fall, but, I'm stuck between the masculine legal name I hate, and the effeminate name I wanted which I no longer feel fits me despite how much I love it. I've got no idea where to even go from here.
There have been a few times people have called me "Alex", my OC's name, because they think that's my name too. I like that name but it feels weird to start using that as "my" name. I know people with most other names I like, and I'd feel uncomfortable using their names.
Feels almost like I'm doing things in the wrong order, trying to decide on a name before I'm even 100% sure what I even consider myself anymore. I feel so out of touch with everything about myself. I can't even feel comfortable with my own name. Everything just feels so wrong. I hate this feeling.

When I was a kid I wanted to fuck Megan from iCarly, anyone else get that feeling or is it just me?

Take me down to the Hentai City
Where girls are gay and the boys are pretty

@​laser@​radical.town my mate just sent Jeff Bezos to hell with 2-day shipping.

Two things that annoy me.

"Hahaha, Caitlyn Jenner!"

"Hahaha, Michelle Obama is a tranny!"

Come on man, it makes all of us the butt of a shitty joke, just like it was when I was growing up and having to hide what I was because I was terrified of being a living joke.

I won't call it transphobia, but it is bigoted behaviour anyway. Like it's just so much fun having a condition that makes people laugh about it. It's the kind of thing that kept me in the closet and ruined my life and put me close enough to suicide that I had the gun loaded and the letters written. I'm probably past that now, but seeing being trans used as an insult or a punch line and it still leaves me feeling bitter.

It's ultimately why I'm a blackpilled nihilist, you get a good look at the "quality" of humanity when your spent your whole life hiding from it.
I have a dream that one day on the Fediverse, the daughters of former radical feminists and the sons of former abusive parents will be able to sit down together at the table of Femboy Hooters.

@timorl I'm fine with saying that 4chan are white supremacists for the sake of argument.

But thats kinda the point. They never used it seriously to signal anything about them being white supremacist.

They saw a symbol that was so mind boggling common (something people use many times a day, literally everyone, akin to waving hello) and said "watch how we can manipulate them to absurd extrems.

Their intention was to take a gesture so common by convincing people it was a symbol of racism so people would start accusing ordinary innocent people of racism, specifically to cause non-racists to be antagonistic and hateful towards eachother, ot ensure people who are reasonable and going "guys this is a common hand gesture" are called racist and ultimately come to hate their fellow anti-racists.

The truth is there is a very very small handful of legitimate cases where white supremacists used it to signal racism. Virtually non-existent. Yet a bunch of white supremacists or trolls were able to manipulate a whole nation to act exactly the way they wanted. They were in control and they got the exact effect they wanted.

They never adopted the symbol, they only manipulated people into thinking they did, thats the key.

It says a lot more about the people they could manipulate to act exactly the way tehy intended than anything else.

@mewmew i don't like how the economy is either, but shoving propaganda down our throats and mass deluding people to create hysteria isn't a good and healthy way of dealing with consoomers

the health consequences of the lockdown are far more dangerous and cause more deaths than the kung flu could ever possibly come close to
vitamin d deficiencies, loneliness, stress, inactivity, weakened immune systems, etc.

people should go outside, get together, and have fun

@mewmew @nerdman i dunno i think its pretty obvious 3 months locked in has put a lot of people on edge

I dont think any one in general came out of this healthier or happier if we are keeping it just to corona lock downs

Also all that ‘locking down’ has become completely for moot at this point

but sure ya environments doing great i guess

@k11m1 I have a great deal of respect for Dutch cops. Most are good people.

I have no respect for american cops, every single one of them, without exception, is a bad cop. If they werent they would have arrested their colleagues and been fired already.
