guess i could mention that they've also argued against queer rights, calling LGBTQ orgs "a full-on mafia" etc

so if you pay mullvad then apparently that's where the money ends up

daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

after (nearly) four years of being on fedi under my own name (and before that five years of much less activity under some other name whatever that was about) i am genuinely surprised that it's the best trans online community i've been able to find

there's so much annoying and harmful stuff going on here—but all the other spaces i've tried to exist in have been even worse

idk what it is that does it, but maybe it's the kind of loose and async way that connections work? ignoring, blocking, filtering, creating lists, asymmetric following, and also the ability to just make an alt account with overlapping connections? and instance blocking on some software too. and all of it at user-level, without breaking the community, unlike what real user-level blocking would do to a discord server for example.

i've decided i like it :akko_fistup:

@navi non-ethical monogamy?

the universe is full of bark matter :3

@glamfrenzy that's really good advice! i already have an issue i'll never back down on, but something like a permanent "flag" would probably add something useful

took the kid to a no-rules gymnastics thing and ended up talking to parents of his friends at school. and at one point this woman said to him, while talking about his family:

– but you have a daddy too right? who lives on [my home address]

and internally i'm like: hey lady i'm right in front of you, you were just talking to me lmao

i didn't say anything, and then the kid went "i don't have a dad i have two moms and a bonus dad" and the whole interaction was over

but there's no misinterpreting what happened. she had no clue that the person right in front of her wasn't cis. i guess that's fun

nooo :akko_derp:

“A recent study published in Personal Relationships provides evidence that individuals with exceptionally trusting and kind personalities do not actively seek out manipulative or cruel partners. Instead, they simply tend to be less likely to reject these types of people compared to the average person. This dynamic suggests that a strong tendency to see the good in others can sometimes reduce a person’s selectivity in romantic contexts.” (source)

@hellomiakoda sigh ❤️

because i love giving affection i end up being a temporary emotional fix for some people, while they find someone who has something more substantial to give, and then when they do i'm set aside. even when it's explicitly just friendship from the very beginning this happens

but most people never really talk to me at all. at least they're being honest

i guess maybe my ex was right after all, i should've just been grateful she wanted me around at all and let her do with me whatever she wanted

i mean that's what i did! but then afterwards i got it into my head that i deserved better, but i'm not so sure anymore

why is nobody using package managers anymore!!!!!

it's all just bad shell scripts you're supposed to curl straight into bash and they've tested zero edge cases aarghg

tech bros need to go back to preschool

i think i'm doing perfectly ok all things considered, but i can't help but wonder what would've happened if i'd started 15 years earlier
