   Why do women get so 'angry' during or after menopause?

   So very many reasons.

   It's not like the rage wasn't there before, it just gets a little more ... um...unleashed?

   We become invisible...like absolutely invisible. Career opportunities that men our same age enjoy, just don't happen for us. We become non-entities like we've always been but not on a log-scale upward slope of invisibility.

   Men say things like 'menopausal women become selfish when their estrogen runs out'. WTF?!

   This whole thing (article and video) proves nothing about the shooter specifically targeting Trump, never mind shooting for political reasons.

   It screams lone wolf mass shooter. He was young, white, and male… a loner… often had little expression, was bullied in school…

   It will be interesting to see where the investigation leads.

   I saw something the other day that's been living rent free in my head and it goes back to the 2022 Twitter migration when it came to Black people.

   Someone said that people should tag posts about US politics with a content warning for a number of reasons.

   It was giving "Tag Black trauma in content warnings because it bums us white people out."

   Look, if you don't like to see people talk against the stats quo, just say that.

   Very low.

   I got accusatory and even rude right off the bat when Lanodan came right out the gate with "um we won't touch this until after you totally rewrite it in this completely arbitrary way" and I'm feeling quite vindicated with that disposition now. These people have a need to be oblique about their actual intentions and I've learned, over the years, how to suss out what things are really about.

   Muh standard is a pretext at best. Not only does Pleroma not care about the standard, but I bet if I cherry-picked @alex 's commit and tried to submit it to Pleroma with maybe rewriting the commit message to "better ActivityPub spec conformity" or something like that, it wouldn't get accepted. Even if I directly supported it with the spec's actual exact words.

   @hj didn't want to merge my commit that includes the url field for scrobbling based on a misreading of the ActivityPub spec. The url field can be any representation of the Audio document, like a page about the document or an audio file, or, yes, a web page that streams the audio file. He insisted on me putting the user-submitted YouTube/SoundCloud/whatever URLs into externalLink for reasons.

   It's farcical. I'm unlikely to try to work with these people again.

   @Helene I'll answer this one here. ^_^

   > That illustrate my main feeling on Mastodon : so many instances, I'm missing so much from all those places I will never see. And I don't have time to duplicate myself like you do, it's already too much with T2-Bluesky-Mastodon 😬

   It's a good question.

   At first, it appears that one is missing a lot because there are different instances or servers. However, if we consider it from the #Facebook + #Twitter + #Instagram + #Tumblr + #Goodreads + #Twitch + #YouTube + #Blogspot era/setup, it is actually the same thing.

   1. Even on these non-federated platforms, for example Twitter / #X, you actually miss a lot too. Or from Facebook, you actually see only those that Facebook's algorithms want you to see (you don't even see everything from your 1st Level connections [i.e. those you added as friends and those you chose to follow are also filtered by their algorithm]).

   2. If you want to follow someone using Instagram but doesn't have a presence on Twitter, you will be forced to create an Instagram account.

   Or, they have a Twitter account, but they are not updating it because they chose to make Instagram their main #SNS presence.

   This is where the #Fediverse has an advantage: you don't have to create a #Pixelfed account to follow someone who prefers to share images and photos.

   Or if you want to follow a #WordPress blog, you don't have to create a #WordPressDotCom account, if they added the #ActivityPub / Fediverse add-on, you can follow them from your own fediverse account.

   In the old way, you have to create an account for each platform. However, in the Fediverse way, you don't have to.

   ---

   I have a Pixelfed and #BookWyrm account, to mention a few, for my images and #bookshelves needs. If you like to follow images I upload and/or books I've read, you can follow me at @youronlyone@pixelfed.social and @youronlyone@bookwyrm.social using your existing @Helene fediverse account.

   You don't have to create accounts there, like how you would for Instagram and Goodreads.

   People like me, who have multiple accounts in the fediverse network, are advance users and who have specific needs and reasons.

   It is like having multiple emails: I have a separate email per service/platform. I have a separate email per games.

   @ryanhoulihan

   De-Specialized Editions of Original Trilogy are still the best films.

   Many reasons.

   It took Luke Skywalker three entire movies and with the help of two Jedi Masters, to become proficient with the Force.

   He didn't just pick up a lightsaber and go after Vader partway into the 1st movie.

   Rey had no training and Finn wasn't even a Force user; he got stormtrooper school.

   The fanedits of the more recent versions corrected some of the howlers that shouldn't have made it to release.
