Do you think it wouldn’t be sexual harassment to bring it up in an unrelated context because an image was posted of someone you thought was sexy?

Because this isn’t hypothetical, this happened yesterday in one of the LBZ communities. That’s what this post is about. Maybe don’t come in hot to explain to everyone how actually it’s a perfectly fine term to use.

I’d consider it to be used as a slur if someone came in here and asked for a hug from the hermaphrodite in a meme someone posted, too.

We’re also not speaking Japanese, we’re speaking English, and how the English speaking population uses it is what is relevant. Search “futanari” with safe search off and tell me it’s not a porn term.

We did them a time or two in elementary/primary school. They put headphones over your ears and play some beeps and you raise your hand when you hear beeps. That’s how they did it 30ish years ago, anyway.

You don’t have to say things explicitly, although there’s certainly value in that. Just maintaining an environment where you consistently shut down chud shit says as much as a long winded political rant. Saying vs doing, you know?

If this happens to you constantly, consider asking an audiologist to be tested for auditory processing disorder. It’s a little trickier to diagnose than straight up hearing loss because your hearing abilities are unaffected, so it doesn’t get pinged on those hearing tests they have you do at school.

There’s not really anything you can do about it other than intentionally practice picking out different sounds to try to beef up the part of your brain that’s slacking, but knowledge is power and all that.

4 out of 7 of those arrested so far have been reported to be women.

My experience as a gay trans dude has been that cis gay men are about as exclusive and transphobic as any other cis segment of the community ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are people who can’t get the vaccine due to allergies, or for whom the vaccine is ineffective due to underlying health conditions or medications that they have to be on to not die. And sometimes a vaccine just plain doesn’t work.

More flu circulating in the community means more chances for them to die.

It’s TRANSubstantiation, not CISubstantiation!

Wait, the Mozilla guy who got pressured to resign over opposition to gay marriage is the Brave guy?? Fuck him lol.

Unsurprising he’s also a dipshit about COVID.

It means medically vulnerable people are going to “shrink”. The flu doesn’t care how you voted.

Thanks! They’re not on any of the inauthentic user block lists I subscribe to. So based on that I’d revise my guess to not AI slop, just strange phrasing.

In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.

Ocean Alliance began working with drones in 2013. Within the last few years, they began collecting exhaled breath condensation, also known as "whale snot."

The whale snot is a biological jackpot with DNA, microbiomes, and hormones. This data was nearly impossible to collect from a live whale. 

"I've seen more unique behaviors from a drone in the last five years than I've seen in the previous 25," Kerr said.

They’re apparently also using the drones to tag them for GPS tracking, really cool use for them.

 

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

Even if you don’t have your own bike, there are lots of Metro bikes to rent near the route for $1.75/30 minutes. You can find a map of bike stations here.
