religion/proselytism
The Jehovah's Witness who sent me a letter never responded to my email. It's almost as if they were never interested in a conversation at all, and had no interest even in politeness once it became clear that my Quakerly ways weren't going to be convinced by some passages in a shady translation of an old book. :(
@hergaiety so far it's... generally less helpful than ddg has been

@Sophie That sounds like progress, hopefully you'll get better at the diagnosing part too.
We tend to lean on different system members for this, such as an emotional protector or someone with stronger bodily awareness.
@atinyfairy Darn, OK.
@atinyfairy I don't think I've ever known a general search engine to do that, at best quotation marks mean searching for a specific sequence of words (regardless of punctuation).
@hollie Huh. I feel like I may have run into this problem, but I don't think I have ADHD.
Moved from google to duckduckgo years ago because google was ignoring my search terms. Now I'm moving from duckduckgo to https://www.mojeek.com/ because duckduckgo is ignoring my search terms. Haven't used it long enough to give an actual recommendation but it seems promising.
PSA
You DON'T need to have ANY of the below to be trans:
* Noticeable gender dysphoria.
* Strong dislike of your genitalia, body, voice etc.
* A desire for HRT or surgery.
* A medical diagnosis.
It's enough to feel that your gender doesn't match the one you were arbitrarily assigned at birth.
You don't need anything else to be valid

@hollie Hey I really appreciate the alt text. (I tend to not like watching videos.)
The thing about painted bike lanes and flex posts is that there's a pretty big difference in user experience between places cars *shouldn't* go and places cars *can't* go.
Paint and flex posts are like rumble strips: they are designed to gently remind cars where they should go in a way that does not damage the car. This makes sense for a highway off-ramp, but it clearly falls apart when we're talking about safety for someone on the other side.
bash scripting
I've been slowly becoming more evil ever since I learned you can have terminals in gvim.
function :e () {
gvim --remote-send '<C-W>:e '"$(realpath "$1")"'<CR>'
}
function command_not_found_handle ()
{
case "$1" in :*) gvim --remote-send '<C-W>'"$*"'<CR>'; return 0;; esac
/usr/lib/command-not-found -- "$1";
return $?;
}

@Sophie You are probably unusually skilled in sensory imagination, or at least sensory memory.
https://twitch.tv/madewokherd Still playing BIT.TRIP Runner (in perfect mode with feet and a spaced repetition system), but I think the pace is picking up now? No more learning new buttons/mechanics at least.
I've been writing again! This is a story I've been wanting to tell for ages, despite it involving the darkest thoughts and moments of my life. It's about the time I time-traveled in order to save my life.
(Or that's one way of looking at it, at least.)
Huge bold font blinking content warnings for suicidal ideation on this one!

@picklish I'll pay attention to see if there's a pattern, thank you.
