ThatFembyWho,

Damn inflation is everywhere now, even the transcendentals :'(

ThatFembyWho,

Thigh highs and skirt-go-spinny aesthetic <3

ThatFembyWho,

I really think these MAGAt types are feeding off Boomer-era Cold War trauma, milking geriatric delusions for all they’re worth. Think about it, how many Americans under 50 are daily concerned about communism? For most of our lives it has been a complete joke, there has been literally no reason to think communism was going to supplant capitalism in America, in any way. It’s always like “oh communism, yeah sure I’d love to live in Cuba, China, or North Korea heh”.

I think a more valuable and relevant lesson would be the history and dangers of authoritarianism, anti-democratic politics and gestures, but maybe that hits a little too close to home for the MAGAts?

ThatFembyWho,

IMO, as depressing as the thought is, we are rapidly transitioning/declining to a post-Constitution America. It makes sense, because conservatives have never really embraced the notion of a secular document as the law of the land, which can be used to shield individuals and minorities from their abusive moralistic patriarchal regimes. Now they have a chance, many chances in fact, to “right the wrongs” they suffered as a matter of enlightened compromise made in good faith. And we are seeing it everywhere.

ThatFembyWho,

Why would anyone hate that? To me it sounds like a utopia. I just had to buy new tires for my car @#$%*!

ThatFembyWho,

Do you want the total war?

Do you want it, if necessary, more total and radical than anything that we can yet today even conceive?

-Bibi Goebels, basically

ThatFembyWho,

Well the Christofascist Speaker admitted that perpetuating chaos and linking it to Biden is their best shot in November. So everything is going according to plan. Democrats can say they tried, Republicans can blame the fallout on Biden, and the rest of us non-politicians lose as usual. We have reached an “interesting time” where being elected is more important than governing.

ThatFembyWho,

I’m in this picture and I hate it.

Even if this bed is super comfy :3

ThatFembyWho,

My major accomplishment for the day: upvoting each “:3” comment. Now I can rest.

White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy (www.thedailybeast.com)

In the popular imagination of many Americans, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum, the typical MAGA supporter is a rural resident who hates Black and Brown people, loathes liberals, loves gods and guns, believes in myriad conspiracy theories, has little faith in democracy, and is willing to use violence...

ThatFembyWho,

Rural America is mostly a wasteland. It’s either where people of means deliberately choose to live away from society, or it’s people who are too ignorant, poor and/or drug-addled to have much choice. Neither group is going to be left-leaning… and that’s why when you look at electoral maps, you see all that red.

Pick a highway, any will do, travel along it and tell me what you see. I already know. One little failed town after another. They might have a dive bar or ancient gas station, but most commercial buildings will be long abandoned. If you need anything, you’ll have to find a decent city with a generic walmart, dollar general, mcdonalds, etc. Long gone are the mom-and-pop grocers, general stores, etc.

The irony is these are solid red Republican districts. Cities have major problems too, but they are full of action; plans, projects, hopes of a better future. There is no future for the average rural American.

They are frustrated and angry, as well they should be. Too bad they can’t see the forest through the trees.

ThatFembyWho,

Trust me, you don’t want Indiana. You really don’t.

If it comes down to it, carve out the lakeside and discard the rest. Keep the dunes and miss the crazy racist Christo-fascists…

ThatFembyWho,

Well the police can declare an unlawful assembly at any time for any reason, which tends to stir up even peaceful crowds. Not to mention being face to face with militarized thugs in riot gear, drones, helicopters, armored vehicles, mounted police, tear gas and “non-lethal” rounds. If I had a gas cannister lobbed at me, why wouldn’t I toss it right back. Fuck em. ACAB.

You might have no intention of causing trouble, but still get rounded up. Happened almost every day in my city for several months during BLM protests. Mass arrests of people in the wrong place at the wrong time. The countless live streamed videos don’t lie, each protest was non-violent until police agitated the crowd.

I don’t go looking for trouble but I have my limits just like anyone else.

ThatFembyWho,

I think it’s hilarious that people are still using DOS in 2024!

Sim City 2k was the first time I used Windows 95. One of the teachers in my sixth grade class had it on their computer, and they let us take turns playing it. It seemed really amazing to those of us who grew up with more primitive computers, like Apple IIs, even Macs, various x86 clones running DOS, or occasionally Windows 3.1.

My first PC in 1998 even had Sim City 2k “Network Edition” pre-installed. Played the shit outta that game!

ThatFembyWho, (edited )

All that shit is so real and it hurts so FUCKING bad. I hate being othered. I hate being the lone exception to inclusivity, diversity and tolerance. I have never once harmed so much as a hair on a woman’s (or man’s) head. But I’m dangerous and not trustworthy?! Fuck that noise.

Also the sex part is basically my partner and I:

NSFWMy partner cums every time we fuck (PIV). It takes about 3 minutes and then game over. While I’m lying there thinking about how I’m still horny and unfulfilled, my partner is already off washing, getting dressed, and ready to leave (we don’t live together). Since I started HRT three years ago, it hurts to have sex like we used to. I have mentioned this numerous times, but it’s “the only way” my partner can get off, apparently. I have mentioned that I need more time, more attention, more patience. My partner loves and appreciates my long hair, my babysoft smooth skin, my perky tits, my ass, my slender frame, and my dick. But not enough to take the time to properly foreplay or focus on my needs. I’ve even done what other women do: fake orgasms so they feel better about their self :/ It continues to drive a wedge between us, because I need more, and I am not getting it from my partner. I crave affection, touch, and intimacy. I need to be held, maybe for hours. I feel like I should start charging people for orgasms, because I don’t get anything else out of the exchange.

ThatFembyWho,

Dunno. But I’ve come pretty close to the lord on several occasions involving fingering and praying.

ThatFembyWho,

…what exactly is the world record?

ThatFembyWho,

Definitely more than 3. Nice try tho.

ThatFembyWho,

Wholesome

ThatFembyWho,

Super relatable. I never realized why I hated clothes shopping for the first 30 years of my life. I dreaded it, nothing ever looked good to me. All completely uninspiring.*

Then I found women’s clothes, then my egg cracked.

You know what I hate now? My very limited monies to actually buy all the cute feminine clothing I want. I’m in a debt from a spree I went on a few months ago x.x

  • Except suits. Call me crazy but I love women in suits. Formal attire looks so much better on them. I’m totally mixing a bit of shirts, ties, jackets and such into my everyday look, albeit feminine cuts.
ThatFembyWho,

Hang in thereeee! Hopefully you’ll be able to get your own clothes soon. Having cute outfits is such a euphoria booster.

ThatFembyWho,

Imagine how creepy it would be to see a time-lapse video of that…

Alt: “Choose your own radical identity” followed by an anarchist flag with half of it being blank. Next to it are crayons in different colors, referencing different anarchist orientations using different colours to fill the space. At the bottom it says: “A DIY activity book for ages 9-12”

ThatFembyWho,

I see a bunch of colors, I draw rainbows.

Queer-anarchism or something

ThatFembyWho,

I wish someone would give me biscuits

ThatFembyWho,

looks up from reading “The Conquest of Bread”

Reaally? O_o

My mom did assure me of that, 10-20 years ago.

By age 40, I trans’d my gender and now I’m ready to smash capitalism and seize the means of production. Let’s gooooooo

ThatFembyWho,

My scent is different to each person. Common variations are your-actual-worst-nightmare and intoxicating-mystery-creature.

ThatFembyWho,

With me, it’s the opposite.

Why get top surgery when I’m already a top?

Oh and waves to all you cute bottomsss

ThatFembyWho,

Heyy ☺️

ThatFembyWho,

Not as strange or pointless as it might seem at first glance, I’m reminded of this article from years ago comparing the experience of a modern phone with the old handsets: www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/…/401114/

What does Gen Z suffer from even more than the rest of us? https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/america-decline-hanging-out/677451/ So using a phone that is designed with physical comfort foremost is a way of reclaiming a sense of social connection and physical touch (“reach out and touch someone”), even when distances between callers are great. And touching the cord, again, a way of feeling the connection with the other person, which in a world of wireless devices isn’t possible – there’s nothing there but empty space. It’s not just about twirling the cord.

This isn’t to suggest there are no benefits to smartphones, and others here suggest earbuds to improve call quality and ergonomics. But the fact is modern smartphones are designed to do many things OK-ish in compromise, but nothing so well as the other devices they replace (phones, TVs, calculators - remember those?, flashlights, keyboards, etc etc.)

ThatFembyWho,

Oh yes, my phone is nearly impossible to use as a camera, between the inherently awkward shape, the case, and the long processing delay. Does it work? Yes. But it’s not much fun. I love the ergonomic grip(s) of my DSLR and how every button and dial is in a natural position.

That’s another thing we miss, plain old tactile feedback of buttons, dials, sliders, switches.

ThatFembyWho,

Haha I’m driving my 13-year-old car like, what you all don’t have buttons?!

ThatFembyWho,

Basically yes. Enby here, anyone who finds me attractive is instantly, irrevocably, and fabulously gay.

ThatFembyWho,

That’s absolutely right and it’s a good principle to live by. I have a long way to go, but my core moral is similar: if I can’t try to help someone, then at least I don’t have to try to harm them. This “passive” alternative is sometimes obscured by false dichotomies, that every choice must be divided between positive or negative.

ThatFembyWho,

Be born into the 1%

Oh, sorry

ThatFembyWho,

Have you seen the price of boots these days? More like pull yourself up by your dirty socks (cost probably $15 to wash) and then get kicked out of any building you walk into for being in your socks then go find a hole somewhere without anti-homeless spikes to crawl into and die then your next of kin get the outrageous bill for the ambulance that was called, the cycle repeats and basically everything will be fine haha!

ThatFembyWho,

Some of those made me physically ill.

Like. You do WHAT with your whitespace?!

ThatFembyWho,

And who can forget this abomination

while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); }

ThatFembyWho,

Internet in 2024 (for me):

  1. Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
  2. Confirm you’re a human (VPN)
  3. Blank page (noscript)
  4. Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
  5. Page not found (https required)

The percentage of websites that “just work” with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.

ThatFembyWho, (edited )

Tldr: I prefer to opt-in.

Technically it’s uBO, but I use the extreme setting that blocks all scripts by default. Truthfully I wasn’t aware just how many scripts get loaded especially on ecommerce and social media sites, there are too many heavy frameworks being used. Much of it is unnecessary bloat, slowing down my browser, and no small amount of it is devoted to tracking and data collection.

In general, I find less than half of loaded scripts are required to make a page functional. It’s a process requiring trial-and-error, but I have a good set of base rules in place for trusted sites and scripts.

For me, it’s about not giving websites free reign over my browser and by extension my computer and personal data, but having some measure of control over them.

And occasionally there are suspicious sites where I truly don’t want any scripts to run. I don’t even have to worry about them.

ThatFembyWho,

I require https, but not every website is secure, and sometimes the certificate has a problem or is expired.

ThatFembyWho,

I don’t mind frameworks, but some features that seem super useful to devs, like google analytics, and various diagnostic/logging tools, social media integrations, I would prefer to “opt in” when I decide they are necessary.

ThatFembyWho,

ugh. Friend convinced me to go roller skating last night.

Felt just like an alien. For so many reasons; I do not belong there. Can’t skate, can’t socialize, so I just sat there watching the people who can. Only good thing is I can tell my therapist I tried
