There's only love in my heart for Igel. Soo... who knows... maybe my hate for the world in general.

TBH, I don't even know what I want from online conversations anymore... Too often I become frustrated by people's seemingly willful ignorance or stubbornness.

@pasture
Maybe it would have worked better if at least you had one of his avatars.

@toast
You probably should just skip to step 5 from now on and be the one that starts yelling. Maybe it's easier.

@galena
Worst thing I hate about these people is that they're trying to force this new name for themselves. They're too pathetic to even do what the LGBT community did (embrace and reappropriate a bunch of slurs people used towards them). Instead they chose the most confusing abbreviation as their new name.

@pasture
Every time I see your name and remember that you're not actually Igel, my hate grows just a tiny bit more...

I personally haven't had any issues with Manjaro, and I've been far more pleased with it than with the Ubuntu flavors I've used in the past. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Nvidia part would be problematic. I've been lucky enough to have had an AMD GPU when I made the transition from Windows. So these few years have been a blessing for me.

If not in the mood for pure Arch Master Race, why not Manjaro? Same overall Arch feel, less hassle to set up.

Bro... Romanians have been popping fire-crackers for a few weeks now.

@alyx My experience is similar, but the first thing that comes to mind is that it might be some sort of a filter bubble that you (and I), personally, are trapped in. Some complex non-intuitive filter causing you to encounter a higher concentration of trans people online for some reason. Confirmation bias can play a role here too.

But then there's the idea that the wired is the frontier of today, and all oppressed, closeted undercover, and isolated people seem to gravitate towards it because they can express themselves, often anonymously, in a safer manner, and use various online filters to increase the chances of meeting others like them. Trans people, Nazis, ex-Muslim apostates, pedophiles, Saudi women rights activists, etc. And as mainstream social media starts reflecting the stigmas and ideological wars of the real world with the floods of average people joining it constantly, the marginalized groups start getting driven away from them and into new frontiers, like the Fediverse.

Well, there might be some other coincidental, but more concrete, reasons for the fedi to be like that. Maybe, for example, some of the first instance admins was a trans person, and they got their trans friends on it, then a network effect started pulling more and more of them into the fedi, starting new instances, and joining existing ones. That admin could have been equally a gardening enthusiast, and then the fedi would have been full of gardeners and florists.

But what do I know :cirnoShrug:

>Again, this is all "from what I've read", and any statistics can be considered as coming out of my ass.
At least they're coming out, and not going into your ass...

I used to have a good argument for the whole "traps are gay" thing. It basically came down to the idea that if the trap is passing enough, you'll never even need to ask yourself if "traps are gay" because you didn't notice in the first place. But if you do ask yourself if "traps are gay", then you noticed the trap and still went along with it, accepting the potential gayness.
But it's honestly just a meme anyway. And trap is not the same thing as transgender/transsexual. I usually think of trap as a very good crossdresser.

I'm constantly amazed by how many trans people I've seen on social media. Especially fedi. I'm pretty sure there has to be a reason why they're so over-represented online, but I'm honestly to lazy to really analyze it.
