@lizardsquid @cute_weeds In both the US and Canada there's no documentation or fees necessary, you just follow a link on paypal's website and your account is converted
it sucks that it's not so simple elsewhere but it also sucks that we're at the mercy of a for-profit company to do what should be a government service

@cute_weeds Paypal does have a per-transaction fee now, which sucks bunches if you were planning to give less than like $50, yeah :( you can avoid deadnaming by converting your accounts to business accounts though, which doesn't change anything about how the site works except that you can change your display name and create/send invoices
kofi is just Paypal
liberapay is looking for a new payment processor but their plan is to do what you want, if you can wait a few months…
@Xkeeper good night, sleep well~
@badwrongfun hug :(
maybe next time
@dreamshrine looks pretty nice although I'd want the text a little darker
@badwrongfun hi I made such a list! I should note that the filler is still pretty enjoyable, and also that the live action show is better than the anime, but nevertheless, here's an episode guide with filler removed:
Watch 1, 3, 6, 8-11, 13-15, 18, 19, 21-26, 28-34, 36, 40, 44-46.
Then skip to 60. Finally, skip 67. Stop after 127.

Aww man a super weird unfolding drama in the physics community, as yet unresolved and involving :
* very surprising claims of room temperature superconductivity!
* datasets that look super faked!!
* some hacker spoofing emails from respected scientists telling investigators to lay off investigating the research group with the super dodgy looking data!!!
You want cyberpunk? Here's cyberpunk!

a reminder that some CD drives in the early 2000s reached high read speeds by just spinning CDs so fast they would sometimes shatter in the drive, and some manufacturers compensated for this with reinforced fronts
http://www.qedata.se/e_js_n-cdrom.htm and these magnificent people ran an experiment on when various media would shatter
tl;dr, if you want shards of plastic fired at you at half the speed of sound, old 50+-speed CD drives are where it's at

One cool thing about how fast memes and slang come and go these days is how easy it’s gonna be to date texts. The English subtitles for Yakuza 0 contain the word “butthurt,” so in the absence of any other context I can date the translation to between 2014 and 2016.

@badwrongfun you are doing the goddess's work
question for nb folks (boosting is ok)
@revenant also a while back I posed this question to my twitter audience and here are the results if you're interested:

question for nb folks (boosting is ok)
do you feel that the word "trans" applies comfortably to you? if not, are there other people who identify as NB that you mentally consider to fit that label?
i don't necessarily mean in a self-gatekeeping way or anything, but the conflation of those two terms seems to vary from person to person
i've been sort of iffy about where i fit into the whole "cis"/"trans" dichotomy but i've also still felt aimless about pretty much everything about the NB identity
question for nb folks (boosting is ok)
@revenant Personally I do not claim the word "trans" and I often ask people not to use it for me, but I know other nonbinary people who do like and use it. I think it's an individual thing, there's no one way to be nb. Rather than saying either trans or nb I usually just say "queer" and then avoid pronouns and people get the idea
