The ninth annual international Gender Census 2022 is now open until 13th August 2022!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

apparently its nonbinary awareness week, so: hi, i'm nonbinary. for me, that means i:
- am not a man
- am not a woman
- am not trying to become either a man or a woman
- am not a human
- am not mortal
- cannot be killed
- have an insatiable bloodlust
- can be pacified only by tribute of gold
- make dark pacts with fell sorcerors to grant them unholy powers in exchange for their souls

Yards are such a fuckin' scam, man. All this grass behind our house is doing just fine despite only every getting watered when it rains (which happens once in a blue moon during summer) but this shitty ass stuff directly around the house can't go three days without the sprinkler? Fucking. Scam.

I am once again asking my less tech-oriented family to stop saying someone got "hacked" when someone just created a new facebook account with their (publicly-available) photos.

Okay, well, some cursory research shows I couldn't have, quote, "opened an account". That's not how it works. So, yeah.

Oh nooooooooooo /s

I'll be honest. Maybe I opened a metamask account 5 years ago or something. I dunno. But this is a phishing email. Spoofed sender and everything. Even if it wasn't, though...

Whatever will I do? How will I live without this thing I didn't even realize I had? This thing for a technology I've repeatedly dunked on for being shit. Whatever will I do? Oh noooooooooo :blobscream:

Damn, what a shame. My metamask wallet has been suspended. Whatever will I do /s

"I'm amused by the implication that the Mexican cartels are behind UFOs."

Not gonna lie, wiggly "You'll never be bored again" really makes this banner insisting I sign up more ominous than anything. Is this a threat?

Re: Nothing 

Brought to you by the "I sleep/REAL SHIT" meme, the Local58 video "Real Sleep", and the highly tenuous mental links my brain draws between completely unrelated things.

I know. You probably don't get it. You don't *HAVE* to get it. LISTEN TO US. We're telling you it's a truly similar experience (just with species and not gender). You're ignoring us and grafting your own experience onto ours. It feels just like when cis people shit on trans people and call us fake or say we're exaggerating our plight.

Hey as someone who's transspecies and transgender:

Please STOP trying to trivialise our experience by indulging in comparative suffering (implying that transspecies people suffer less dysphoria than transgender folks).

Tired of this truly terrible and frankly discriminatory take from people who literally refuse to understand what we're saying.

Okay, this is amusing. This person is taking advantage of Rust not having built in protection against cosmic ray induced memory bit flips to have a software based cosmic ray detector.

i think we should generalize "fighter" as a non-gendered alternative to "man" and "woman" in job titles. we don't have to stop at firefighters, we could have postfighters, handyfighters, milkfighters, linefighters...

Misinfo 

@auravulpes A common misconception. This only works if you have two or more waters, who can get each other wet; if you only have one single water, it has no one else to get it wet.

So, like, they say water isn't wet, it makes what it touches wet, but, like, doesn't water touch itself? So, surely it too must be wet, right? :blobhyperthink:

I think I'm just gonna take a break from this place for a while to preserve my own mental health. But, before I go, another video game achievement for you. It's not quite as impressive as S1 in TGM, but I made it past the first three days in Majora's Mask. Given that I couldn't as a kid, I'd call it an achievement!
