Wait, I'm genuinely asking, is this hard to do? I've been able to do this since I was a kid
very cute, thank you!
My wife used to be on Implanon (now Nexplanon) and she basically didn't have a period for like 3 years. I think the new dose has protection for 5 years (it's primarily a birth control that they implant into your arm)
It's a Japanese alcoholic drink. Very tasty
Reminder that we have our email 196mods@protonmail.com
Important tool for those who have been banned and feel it undeserved, etc. While it's awesome that we have a small active community to double check the mod log and post any oddities right now, this may not always be the case. Hierarchies are wack and knowing the tools to hold people accountable is always a good thing. I do occasionally go back and check on our sent folder to see if anyone is being treated unfairly (which to be clear I haven't seen anything on the email side).
Thanks for the post ✌️
FUCK
Honestly wild. SO many libraries are doing away with fees this seems like such a rollback on common policy. Welp. That's America these days I suppose.
Correct. The USA still has a substantial slave population via the prison industrial complex. Also I removed your ableist comment further down this point. Prejudice of any kind can lead to a ban.
Hey, I'd rather ask than downright just take down the post. There's been some reports that this should have been marked as NSFW. Can you remove and repost as NSFW please? It's funny but showing this is in a work setting could result in a sexual harassment case.
I know people have ideas of what NSFW entails (I got yelled at on reddit a few years ago for saying Aphrodite in Hades is NSFW) but if it's not something you would feel comfortable showing a kid, it's most likely NSFW.
The placement of the logo makes him look like Among Us.
Hey a random use for my degree.
Gender is based on how you feel about yourself, obviously different than sex, which is based on your chromosomes. Each culture has a different idea of what gender means. For example, the US is a mostly patriarchal culture, meaning men are mostly in charge with some exceptions (this is SLOWLY changing to a more equal culture) compared to a matriarchical culture where women are mostly in charge with some exceptions. This puts pressure on people for how men and women are expected to act.
Gender performativity is how you perform your gender. I don't want to assume your gender, so just think about the things you do to feel more like your gender. For some men, this is buying a muscle car or BBQing or going to the gym. These are stereotypes of masculinity, but they show how men purposely try to perform gender. For men who don't do these things, they're called girly or feminine.
(bonus lesson) -Rhetorical questions- What does this say about American culture? If not performing the "man" gender results in being calling a different gender, what's wrong with that? Why is being called girly or feminine considered a bad thing? The US spotlights masculine identities without spotlighting the gender itself, therefore making feminine traits less desirable without explicity saying so. The US have moved away from overt misogyny into subtle misogyny in order to appear more equal. It gives plausible deniability.
The meme specifically is referring to how much harder trans people have to "perform" their gender compared to people who were assigned their gender at birth.
Mod here: Not a cause for removal and we have a lot of rules, actually. The incorporating rule into posts is more of a suggestion to keep the culture going.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/130970 "==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles== Here are the things that get you banned: -saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account -tankie behaviour -nazi behaviour -authoritarian behaviour -genocide denial -prejudice of any kind -anything else that is clearly bad
Things that get your post/comment removed: -AI generated content -anything in the banlist -posts that are so off topic that they don’t fit on 196 at all -moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you’d see on your aunt’s Facebook page or Elon musk’s Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption) -corpoposting
Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.
---------EDIT:NSFW RULES--------- NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex]. Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts.
IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.
Please leave any suggested edits in the comments.
JAN 2024 UPDATE: MOLDY MONDAYS Monday is now moldy Monday. on this day and only this day moldy memes are not only allowed, but encouraged. The crustier the better. The type of thing that’s been reposted at least 2,000 times with filters and bad crops and watermarks and hopefully minions. please caption with moldy rule
