> are you trying to teach me something

Well, we're having a conversation, right? And this is how I think things through. I've got my conclusions, but I don't think we'll understand each other unless we think things through.

So CNN is pushing this, why would they do that? The way it's structured, they have the people writing the stories, they republish AP stuff, and then they've got editors, the editors decide which stories run and they revise the stories or ask for revisions.

> there's so many ads on the website

Oh, man, it's a mess.

@augustus Is it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone? Or the Capitol Hill Free Zone? I don't want to get it wrong.

@angristan I think it should only be used to identify public figures, and should lessen some of their harassment rules in regards to speaking to public figures, to more mirror American law

"The writings of young trans men reveal a group of notably sensitive and clever people. The more of their accounts of gender dysphoria I’ve read, with their insightful descriptions of anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, the more I’ve wondered whether, if I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition. The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge. I struggled with severe OCD as a teenager. If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred."

Is there a way to make muted thread not appear in notifications?

So I went and made a fresh installation of #PopOS 20.04 and it's so much faster already! My previous installation was an #upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 - is that it, then? Either way, really enjoying it now. #win

@Lainyboy @nerdman @realcaseyrollins @xair Before we do that, we have to ask why you think the US is a monolith. There are a thousand groups of people, all pushing some story. Who is pushing which propaganda, and why?
I hate Twitter's feature of disallowing comments. If you don't want people to discuss something, don't post it.
@Lainyboy @nerdman @realcaseyrollins @xair Yes. In California, you need the parents' permission to get married if you are under 18, and if you are under 16, you need a judge to approve it as well, and I think there are other hoops to jump through. I'm not up on child marriage laws, I don't see too many people marrying children.
