monobrows and big ears

I admit I was once one of these.

Damn, I see what you’re saying now. I’m almost 30 and I’d say I’m jaded lol but being on the autism spectrum/general brainweirdness means I don’t interpret the world the way most people do and need some help understanding what normal people see. What I would think is common sense or logical or even easy to understand is just not most people’s experience, and vice versa-- what others think are obvious (in social situations especially) don’t even occur to me until someone points it out. I find things out the hard way most of the time. Thanks for clearing things up.

I’d been thinking the title meant trans people are more likely to be poor. And because I’d recently seen a meme about right-wingers blaming LGBTQ people for things, thought this was a good article some of those right-wingers might need to see. Like, look, you can’t blame trans people for your problems because they’re also likely to be poor. But I might be assuming a lot about how things might be interpreted here, because I did not expect all this, lol.

damn i wanna get my weed from yall now

i wouldn’t say it’s entirely unhelpful at this broad of an analysis, because it is important to point out that this is a thing for people who might find it surprising. but i do see what you mean by “the title implies causation when all the study is is a correlation.”

ublock origin still works

I like OP’s idea but I wonder about the legality of it and how it might be used against BookWyrm by private entities. Interoperability/plugins that act as middle-men + open library seems like the way.

lmao good looking out

I don’t member the exact model but I had an LG Voyager that i held onto for a long time… I did NOT want to give up my physical keyboard for the touchscreen keyboard so I held out as long as I could. If Samsung came out with a slide-out keyboard for smartphones I’d be on that shit right away.

very sketchy source, would not trust

i found some symbols that represent the real domestic terrorists

good to know, i’ll have to check it out

i’m almost full fedi, even left instagram. it’s just discord and youtube that are gonna be hardest to replace for me. been looking at peertube for uploading video game streams but the upload limit…

next: the robots 3d printing their own limbs

my bet is one of their bots made this and they don’t even know this ad is out in the wild until someone brings it up

i use a vpn

sometimes the feed aggregator will bypass the paywall for ya 👀

i also like that reading the articles in my feed reader doesn’t give away any tracking information. can get the same info without visiting the source website at all. and when i do open links there’s no source to show where i opened it from.

ultimately it’s so much easier having most news sources in one place instead of subscribing to hella newsletters.

This has been working for me. Sometimes it’s just the country I randomly connected to and need to pick another random one.
