Late to the party but that is so cute! My favorite colors are the palette of a bruise (black and blue/purple/green) and that splash of blue under the corset just looks so damn good.

    The recoil IS relative. It pushes the gun back towards you more than anything. Shooting a pistol sideways usually pushes it back into your palm. Idk it it's anatomy or muscle memory but it always feels like my arm wants to go up no matter how I hold a pistol.

    A rifle or shotgun when held like the meme, generally feels like it's just pushing straight back relative to the barrel, wonder if that's all the effect of a second hand.

    Oh yes, because cameras are so very selective and only watch when a car is driving by and only watch the person operating the vehicle.

    Everyone ELSE should not be expected to sacrifice their privacy is the point you're entirely missing.

    You say wasteful, I'd think very efficient. If it's just enough fun to get everyone in an office to engage and use it, a manager now has an accurate tool to check who is where and what they're doing. Plus if it actually makes anyone actually have a little fun with it and have a better day, bonus wins.

    Another '96er here. I had teachers in my last couple years of highschool mention how wrong the saying was. Notably my machine shop teacher said it A LOT my freshman year (9th for non-US) and retired my senior (12th) year while saying "I guess you actually will have calculators in your pockets at all times now". He wasn't even behind on tech, calculators just being one of the standard things enmeshed in something as ubiquitous as cellphones would end up, just didn't occur to him.

    Hey y'all, so I'm having a hard time even typing that I've had the crazy epiphany that I'm transfemme? I'm shaking with the anxiety it's inducing just to write that out.

    I barely even know where to begin or where I want to go with this. I'm 30, and recently I had some thoughts I'd just labeled as "weird" and tried to shelve away. Funny enough my mental health had hit a new low at such a particularly close timing, wild coincidence I'm sure 🙃 Well yesterday night my lovely girlfriend (who, as I type all of this, I'm becoming more suspicious already knows) decided the next movie on our list HAD to be "I Saw The TV Glow" (not a first watch for her) and holy shit I've never had a movie hold a mirror up to me so plainly as to make me nauseous. I'm normally a huge crier and while it had my partner in crime leaking from the eyes at several points, I was left tearless and feeling like I'd been repeatedly punched in the gut before the ending made me feel sucker punched for the extra effort.

    And the fucking movie still made me feel FUCKING HOPEFUL about this is I can just come out.

    My family is all the type to support me, so I'm not as scared there (still pretty terrified tho). My biggest fear with all of this is disappointing myself again. I've done a lot of that and I don't know how much of that I can still take.

    I don't even know what I want to hear from others right now but I appreciate anything. I'm just hoping writing this post keeps me from getting an ulcer.

    Hope I'm not breaking any rules posting something so rant-y.

     

    I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

    Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

    The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

    Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
