Jfc, I love that song. Pure fucking absurdity in musical form

I kinda get wanting a restricted space for privacy, but unisex bathrooms with multiple stalls exist. The key is making them peek proof and reasonably secure. Once that’s out of the way, the difference between a line inside the bathroom and one outside it becomes moot. At that point, it really isn’t about having privacy any more since a public restroom is inherently impossible to make fully privacy centric what with sound proofing being cost prohibitive.

If anything, it would be better to have the same space set up unisex (or unigender if you prefer) since it would cost less to make the now bigger bathroom, and improve some of the waiting times for a place to excrete. Well, with the flaw that you would lose the availability of urinals in the real world, so that would end up being a major drawback for space and use management. Point still remains that public restrooms don’t have to be segregated to be safe and useful.

Of course, at least under normal circumstances.

Like humans or wild animals, a pet is going to have their full sensory array available. Even a blind and deaf animal can pick up vibrations as someone approaches then, feel changes in air movement, etc.

Since hands are different sizes, even if they were asleep at the moment of contact, it wouldn’t take long to figure out whose hand was on them. Obviously , that might be negated if the hands are similar enough, but I would suspect that even then the differences in how a person pets them would be useful.

You could likely create a situation to bypass everything and “fool” a pet, but that’s what you’d have to do.

My brain melts past pi, e, and I

Hell, when it comes down to anything beyond the most basic explanations of e and i, my brain melts.

π is easy enough to wrap my head around, it’s a simple ratio with a hugely unusual result when calculated. In terms of describing what it is, i is simple enough, the square root of -1. The brain melt comes in when trying to hold the implications of it in my mind.

But e? That shit is bonkers. Ain’t nothing simple there at all, you can’t even define it without a line of math. Which, yeah, that’s the point of the e notation; it’s just trying to hold the concept in active memory is way past my ability to math.

Oh damn! That was a fun ride lol

This is the first I’d heard of skype a scientist, but holy shit am I in love with the project. Fucking brilliant!

The “wook” thing? What is that, a typo?

Don’t worry, by the time you hit fifty-ish, you won’t have energy for rage any more lol.

Tbh, even the least well designed apps are a better experience overall. Lemmy via browser is often a drag.

Heat + scraper should get it down enough to get the degree of removal you want without either removing it all, or losing a lot of wood.

Solvents wise, you might try something a little more aggressive applied very thinly via a rag.

Because it’s not a website. It’s a connected network of sites that requires a bit of a learning curve to really use.

It always kinda amazes me how little interaction there is across generations.

The hippies and such that were part of the pre-eighties boomer counterculture movements are still there. Most of those don’t look the part, but still hold the same beliefs.

Some just grew the fuck up, had families, and no longer had the energy to sustain a life of protest. A lot of what drove that era’s visible counterculture was youthful energy. Young idealists eventually hit a wall where no matter what their beliefs are, they’re limited by reality in how much time, effort, and resources they can put towards their cause.

But there’s also the fact that every generation is diverse. You’ll have the edges, where you find the most vehement people, but the majority are going to just not give a fuck as long as they can live with acceptable levels of hassle. In that laundry majority, you’ll find the folks that agree with a given principle, but can’t/won’t do anything about it. They will, however, give lip service.

That’s boomers, Xers, millennials, Z, Alpha, whatever age range you want to point at. You’ll still have the vehement and loud, but as they age up, there’s less of their age peers jumping on the bandwagon.

Then, the next age group comes along and wants an enemy. That enemy is going to be the establishment because establishment is the thing we all are forced to live in. It’s the default, the status quo. And that means the previous generations that are in that majority that are just trying to live and survive are part of that establishment. So you get the bullshit generational warfare. Which, once you live long enough, and/or look back at history enough, you discover happens every generation. There’s always a struggle of some kind because there’s always some degree of power imbalance created just by surviving long enough to accrue knowledge/resources.

This is phenomenon relied on by power brokers. The 1%, if you want to look at it that way. The folks that have control of enough resources that they essentially control everyone’s lives.

I responded to a similar question below.

It’s that the objection to the choice of “hormone replacement therapy” for gender affirming care is malarkey. Yeah, the term for those medications started for people that have a deficiency in a given hormone, typically as an age related issue. But that doesn’t negate it when used for replacing one variety of hormone for another.

In other words, the argument that it isn’t replacement therapy when the levels of existing hormones are normative for a person with a specific type of gonad that are fully functional misses the point that it’s still HRT, just a slightly different semantic expression of it.

I mean, yeah, kinda, I guess, but misses the entire point.

The two easiest ways are signing and writing.

I’ve never known anyone to object to either. Mind you, the percentage of totally mute people I’ve interacted with long term can be counted on one hand. And, the number of short term isn’t much into double digits. But you’d think one of those would object to writing on some level, but the response I got was smiles and friendly communication

My sign language skills were never high, and lack of use made me lose them, but even being able to spell things out can help a little.

Seriously, learning enough of whatever version of sign language is used in your area isn’t super hard. Enough to communicate prices, directions through a store, the bathrooms, stuff like that you can pick up on YouTube these days. But classes for beginners are usually easy to find as well. Big plus is that once you know a little, you can show your frIends some, which means y’all will have an extra way of communication in a pinch.

You missed this part:

The pharmacological approach in this study, however, uses a pharmacologic agent (P7C3-A20) that enables cells to maintain their proper balance of NAD+ under conditions of otherwise overwhelming stress, without elevating NAD+ to supraphysiologic levels.

It isn’t about killing the idea. It’s about making it known that some shit erases you as being allowed to exist.

That way, even when it does crop up, everyone knows exactly what will happen.

The only good nazi is a dead nazi.

Not important to me. I dig the skullet I have, and the shape of my head works for me overall.

Plus, my beard is fucking epic :)
