Furry. Infinitely more variety. Plus the characters tend to consistently look like they’re into it. Unless you’re not into that, in which case that exists too.

Where do I get this sticker and can I buy them in bulk? I want to randomly stick them to everything I see.

I love these two. They’re so cute.

Nah, Apple was an amazing company for a while. Iirc they were literally the best bang for your buck by a long shot, which shouldn’t be surprising considering they were literally the first company to make a home computer that didn’t require soldering experience or a kit. At some point they decided to prioritize form over function, however, and started going downhill.

80’s Apple: Gay

20’s Apple: Straight

(I’m joking about the logos)

God, please don’t. Why would someone make this?

Who’s “we”?

Who’s “we” motherfucker?

You best understand that I’m not part of your fucking “we”. I did not do this to myself, nor did I do this to any of my friends. We did what we knew how. We most certainly did not do this to ourselves, and personally I’m not going to just shrug and sigh and lay down and take it.

America’s chosen government doesn’t see me or many of my friends as human because we’re trans and you’re saying “we” must reap what “we” have sown, as if we are somehow responsible for our own persecution. That’s victim blaming. That’s what spineless people say when they have no real skin in the game. That’s what people say when they’re too scared to speak up. That’s coward shit.

Well, I refuse to take responsibility for this trash. I refuse to take responsibility for the abuse I and my friends will likely be subjected to in the coming years. Nor do I have the option to just lay down and take it.

Fuck your “we”.

Could this be used to make a space elevator?

OVO

Of course they’re a fucking avian/aeromorph, lol.

For the non-furs, OVO is like OWO but with beak/nose-cone/triangular snout instead of a w-shape.

Would you perhaps like to expand on that? Right now it appears hot on the tail of the dragon drama, which, considering from what I saw the majority of it revolved around people trying to misgender drag or ridicule drag’s identity, leads me to the conclusion that you didn’t like how Ada handled it and implies you yourselves believe that it’s alright to misgender someone if you believe their gender is just another troll.

Regarding 196:

Dunno, didn’t really use it on reddit tbh. That’s why I associate it strongly with blahaj.zone.

Regarding Dragon rider:

Sigh You’re right, I fixed it. In my defense, I was actually trying to avoid directly referencing drag and drag’s pronouns not because I think drag is invalid but because I didn’t want to distract from the fact that people were intentionally misgendering drag because they believed drag’s gender/pronouns were invalid and that drag’s dickish behavior excused them from having to use drag’s pronouns. I was concerned that using drag’s neopronouns would cause people to have a knee-jerk reaction, which was why I was referring to drag as “the troll”.

Regarding your mental health:

Honestly, that’d kinda kill half the reason I use Lemmy: as a news aggregate. Furthermore, people here have too much time on their hands and find drama wherever they can. I used to think blåhaj.zone would be fairly free from drama in a generally leftist space; after all leftists should understand that queer instances and communities are generally best left to queer people, right? Yet that hasn’t stopped people from trying to start drama regarding the main queer instance.

Have you ever wanted to staff a vending machine? I have. It’s kind of a boring job. All you do is sit there and stare at people through the glass because everything’s automated now.

Way too many people subscribe to the idea of “if I don’t hear about it then it isn’t happening.” No, bitch, it’s happening, and it’s a hell of a lot worse than you think. It’s the only way I can imagine that people truly, unironically believe that LGBT people, especially trans people, are just “overreacting”.

Or to put it another way, they’re the kinda people who’d unironically believe that a tree doesn’t make a sound when it falls in the forest, and then get pissed off when a physicist tells them that the tree makes a sound no matter what.

I live in a small town in europe, built a house and well it takes me about 25 minutes to the next bigger city (not huge one, lets say 50.000 people live there.

I sometimes find myself getting frustrated because the next gym is 7 minute drive by car to another smaller town.

It took me about 15min to get to a furry meetup today. I live in the same city as the meetup. I have a friend who regularly drives across town to see their boyfriend. They’re over an hour away from each other. They live in the same county iirc.

That’s just how things go.

As for cost, look into parks and stuff like that. Meet people at parks or libraries. If nothing exists, start something. Distribute pamphlets. Look for hobby sites that let you advertise meetups. Go on dating sites and invite a bunch of people to a date at the same place so y’all can play Mario kart together. Pass out flyers. You can do it!

Something about 196 being on a non-queer instance feels wrong. I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s because there are a lot of queer-positive posts on 196? Not sure. Meh, whatever. I think I have a vague idea of why they’re moving away and quite honestly, if they want to bend to people wanting to stir shit, then maybe we’re better off without them.

(Iirc the gist of it is that there was a troll who claimed to be “dragon gender” or something (which included that drag’s pronouns were “drag”). Drag said a lot of nasty shit, stirred up drama, etc. People decided that was a good excuse to misgender drag and become the arbiters of what a “proper gender” is. People misgendering drag got banned, then got pissy and cried about it. In the meantime, drag was also banned at that point, it was mainly people stirring shit at that point. I’m pretty sure 196 is moving away from blähaj.zone because afaik Ada takes a zero tolerance stance on intentionally misgendering people; regardless of whether or not someone’s a troll.)

Quite honestly I’m kinda at the point where I’m considering quitting Lemmy entirely. Between the drama, doomposting, trolls and increase in general dickishness, it’s honestly getting really bad for my mental health.

You can have mine, hot lady, I don’t want it c:
