I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called "feds."

What sort of gender is *******?

Blows my mind that vasectomies are the less common procedure. Got mine done cheaply many years ago. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Partner got tubes done recently (so that insurance couldn't deny her for medically necessary hysterectomy later, what a dumb system we have) and she was miserably bedridden for quite a while, with the scars to prove it. Would have been expensive if she wasn't maxed for out-of-pocket already.

Anyone have a sane explanation?

Gonna preface this by saying this is not my worst, or really even a bad experience. We were in a 69 with her on top. I was getting into it and wrapped my arms around her waist, squeezing her down on me. This was just the right amount of pressure to squeak a little fart out of her, which made me giggle while still firmly planting my face in the fun zone. The sensation of me giggling made her tense up, ripping a fat one right in my face. I pulled my face away so I could laugh harder, but that made me gasp through my mouth, and I cough while yelling "OH GOD IT'S IN MY MOUTH!" We are both dying from laughing so hard, but a moment later she suddenly says "LET ME UP" in a really panicked tone and runs to the bathroom. I sat up so I could ask if she was OK, and felt a drip from my beard. I said "wow babe you left me a little treat, you were really wet!" She screams through the door "OH MY GOD DON'T LICK THAT!" She had laughed so hard that she peed on my face.

Some people see their pre-transition selves as being one gender, and only use their post-transition gender to inform their new pronouns later. It was written by a person that interviewed her and apparently held her in high respect. All we can see is that there is an abrupt change in the pronouns, where Lynn presumably could have considered herself to match the new pronouns. We don't know without asking her if she was misgendered by the article, and we are a bit late for that.

It will eventually be supported, and in the interim they have stated that they won't keep biometric data obtained through ID.me once a verification is completed, or you can opt for an online interview where no biometrics are collected in the first place.

Who knows if ID.me will actually delete the data on their end though, or if the online interview is recorded by the provider.

The thing about that photo is how it wasn't even an exaggeration of lan parties at the time. Fire code be damned, you get every single person in that room you physically can, no matter how poor the ventilation. Stick one guy in the closet sitting his screen on a file cabinet with a nightstand for a seat. The guy with the smallest monitor sets up on the window sill, with the window holding the monitor in place like a window unit. One guy sets up in the hallway where the power strip barely reaches and everyone for damn sure was screaming so he didn't miss a call out. Everyone memorized where to step over his six cables because absolutely nobody will turn on a light. There was the guy with the real full tower atx case stuffed with all the hdds and cd drives passing around 3 full binders of burned games and mods and maybe a spindle full of porn if you asked. Anyone who needed to sleep would do it straight on the floor under the folding tables with rigs blowing hot air in their face. When someone gets the last kill in the match and half the room screams WHAT?!, and then everyone steps outside for the council meeting as the AC struggles to make the room almost bearable before next match.

Simple. The magnet weighs less than the car, so the magnet is going to be moving to the left. If the force is going to the left, that means the car can only go in reverse.

Nobody approved it, its just AI generated and automatically published.

For point #1 - good riddance. That kind of porn is super creepy regardless of whether or not it is true CSAM.

For point #2 - I might just be getting old, but I don't have time to wade through a "bearable" feed when I can get all the best posts through someone else's hard work. I am glad to have mods that reflect my approximate values and defederate where reasonable.

I will appreciate when people like you repost/link the rare piece of good content that I miss out on though. I welcome views counter to my own, if well thought out or sanely provocative, but sometimes you gotta filter out trolls and creeps.

I can say that I feel comfortable recommending my instance to people I meet IRL, and that counts for a lot with me.

Look at this guy here, trying to do actual work with a trackpad. Just use it to click the next YouTube video like everyone else does during work hours.
