@minego This is already way more thought than the topic deserves.
twitch, transphobia, ableism
Twitch have added a bunch of new charities to their list, and two of them are the LGB alliance - a transphobic hate group - and Autism Speaks - an ableist hate group.
This can't be allowed to stand. Please use the link below if you have a twitch account to vote for this issue:

@minego No, and also it probably counts as an intoxicant for purposes of the fifth precept.
@merlyn383 @erwinrossen @kkomaitis This sounds like it would apply to accessibility software like screen readers as well. I'm basing this on a machine translation, but it looks extremely broad.
@minego What if I'm just comfortable?
@hollie I see this was answered already, but I wanted to mention that you can verify this using the Network tab of Developer Tools in Firefox (and probably other browsers).
plurality
We now have "failsafe" alarms for the times when we absolutely have to go to bed or get up or else it'll ruin our day. They make no sound and are a simple notification on our laptop. They are enforced by Watchful taking front and doing the thing.
We think this will prove more reliable than anything else we've ever tried.
addressing singlets as a plural system
@not_on_pizza@weirder.earth It's not any one thing. Mostly it's idioms and ways of talking about parts of the brain individually. There's also something specific we shouldn't share.
We get that most people don't experience switching or emotional amnesia the way we do. But, aside from those differences we wonder if everyone isn't this collection of parts with individual thoughts/feelings/actions the way we are.
@minego People just need to choose different options so none of them go above 50%.
@minego I kinda want to see how 0 would go.
addressing singlets as a plural system
Hey, listen, we're not one to apply labels you didn't opt into yourself, and we're not one to gatekeep. You can be a system if you want. No one else gets to tell you whether you are or you aren't. But dangit, y'all make it really hard for us not to question whether singlets are even real.
@minego I see no reason to limit it as long as you're within the character limit. As such, I have chosen the largest option.
