She has offered to bank roll the legal battles of a woman who openly advocates for trans genocide, and that’s only one of her most recent actions against the interests of trans people. You’re right that she has articulated her position well enough, but her position is absolutely not being supportive of trans people. I suggest you take a look at these videos if you want more info on the matter:

I know it hurts to come to terms with if you were a fan of her work, but JKR is unquestionably a terf.

They both look like girls to me

It’s not counterproductive when one side wants to do horrible things to people like me and my friends and the other doesn’t. When one side actively endangers people and takes their rights away and the other doesn’t. Those are very, very real issues to a lot of people, and acting like that doesn’t matter at this point is just willful ignorance. You don’t have to identify with one side to openly disagree with the other. You can prefer a system without parties or teams without refusing to stand up against a team that already exists, whether you like it or not, and has made their horrible views very well known.

But you’re not just defending centrists, you’re responding to claims people make about centrists by saying “but I’m not like that so obviously not all centrists are like that”. Your reply to pthaloblue elsewhere in the thread is an example of this. You clearly present yourself as a centrist there in direct response to someone talking about centrists. You seem to be arguing about this from the point of view of someone who feels like they’re being personally attacked even though based on the actual beliefs you’ve mentioned and your own dislike of labels by all accounts you’re not a centrist and thus not an example of what centrists are like.

Not really. Right wingers seem to like centrists.

Yet you clearly identify as a centrist based on your comments on this thread. They’re just as much a unit as the right or left based on how they behave and act on their political beliefs. Either you identify with centrists, in which case it’s up to you to be the change you want to see in their reputation, or you don’t, in which case their reputation shouldn’t reflect on you.

I mean I only ever see the ones arguing with leftists actually admitting to being centrist, so if what you’re saying is true then maybe the centrist arguing with rightists should consider improving their PR by being more vocal about it. Because y’all only ever seem to bring up your political affiliation when arguing with one particular side, so no wonder you’ve developed a reputation based on that.

The issue is that right now one entire party has become an issue that needs to be solved.

Bro have you never watched a Futurama episode before in your life? They’ve ALWAYS made jokes about current events and pop culture. Those jokes a perfectly in-line with their usual humour.

This is presented like a meme but it’s just depression porn.

But your shoulder doesn’t move like your forearm, does it? It only rotates in place, with a limited range. It can’t completely flip like your forearm. Your muscles lock it in place, because they have to when it’s in a ball and socket configuration, because the muscles are how you move the limb around in the socket, and there are a lot of insertion and origin points near or around that socket, limiting the range of movement there.

If you want to be able to completely flip the limb, you have to make it so that the parts can move against each other more freely along with the muscles, which a criss cross configuration like this allows for, because the part that moves the most, aka the part where it criss crosses, is where there are less insertion and origin points. That way the positioning of the muscles doesn’t inhibit the movement.

What do y’all expect exactly? A ball bearing??

I have about 4 bucks to my name atm.

Thanks, I’ll check those ones out!

That’s really not an option for me right now financially since I need to keep costs down as much as possible. But I’ll keep that in mind for the future.

What’s a good Gmail alternative that has a relatively professional name? I have a hotmail account from way back still, but the name “hotmail.com” has always sounded silly to me. I guess there’s Outlook but idk if they’re the best option.

Listen, I liked Sync’s ui and I wanna go back to something familiar when sync for lemmy comes out okay lol

Do you think people use coin or bottle cap collections for anything functional? The point of collecting stuff is to have your own personal little museum to look at and enjoy based on your interests. If you don’t enjoy keeping them, then don’t, but if you do enjoy keeping them, because of nostalgia or sentimentality or because you just like having physical copies, then keep them, and don’t worry about whether they serve a function or not. In that case their function is that they make you happy.

The ability to cure any disease/illness or unwanted mental disorder/illness in anyone nearby within a certain radius. Might as well focus on it helping others if it’s completely random.

This sort of question is better meant for the support community I think.
