It’s a bit silly, because this kind of meme can definitely be interpreted as both a bigoted meme and as a sort of “ironic” kinda meme that is quite often posted in LGBT+ circles. It uses a lot of outdated terms like “Transsexual” and “Hermaphrodite”, but then also has the more LGBT+ shitpost stuff like “pet walking on keyboard - Other”. And indeed the absurdity of asking gender everywhere in the first place. I choose to pick the LGBT+ positive interpretation, but idk whether that’s its actual meaning.

Nope, I’m European so I’ve never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn’t mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow

Also Rocket League. I’ve got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can’t do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.

During my master’s degree we had a course where we had to make a small app or data collection thingy using the Mastodon api (or something, can’t fully remember). So I was aware it existed, and contemplated joining at a few points. Ultimately though, I just don’t really vibe with Twitter-like social media. After Reddit did the thing, I saw Lemmy, which suits me way better. I like it so far. I’m donating a small amount of money to help with keeping the instance running, and I hope this remains a cool place to be for many years to come.

Sheesh that sounds like hell. I hope the pain subsides soon for you.

This is quite normal on festivals right? I see it all the time on festivals, never really cared that much. You can always move somewhere else

Yeah this is definitely a good mentality to become a better person. I’m still struggling a bit with wanting to do everything perfectly, which causes me to stop doing it. But I’ve started getting more success with just telling myself they “anything is better than nothing”.

I used to not really do any sports and eat whatever I felt like. In the past few years I’ve started turning it around by picking up running and trying to eat better. If I would’ve expected perfection in either of those, I would’ve quit within a month. But by being proud of every good decision I make, however small it is, I managed to keep it going and changed my health for the better.

To be honest, I disagree. It’d be logical if that was true, because that’s what you’d expect, but I’ve met plenty of counterexamples. People who were well educated in some subject and therefore assumed that they know everything better. I’ve found that for a certain group of people, having a bachelor’s or master’s degree makes them overestimate their ability massively. Some of them you could at least partially convince with facts, but I’ve also met a few of them who has gone completely off the deep end. Well educated doesn’t always mean intelligent

Sometimes there’s also the line that goes down at the start of the sprint, because the team still had to finish some dumb busywork to complete a story from the previous sprint.
