Even though we generalize that we’re attracted to categories like men and women I think most people are only attracted to a handful of singular people rather than a whole gender (or a more muscled or less muscled subset of one).

Would have been cool for them to host their own instance with just the one account

I am a small person and can see results very quickly (1-2 months) simply because the muscle shows through more quickly with less fat. Sounds like you’re doing the right things, refining technique, etc. and will see change with time.

Controversial stuff of course, but people here seem less likely to take the context of the post or comment into consideration than they did on reddit. The instance or community something is posted in doesn’t seem to make a difference. On lemmy you get a ton of public gut reactions like you would on twitter. This is opposed to a forum-style where posts only face ‘real’ public scrutiny if they become popular in their respective communities to the point where they hit the front page. Perhaps with more users this effect will diminish, although if mastadon grows substantially our posts will be viewed by a large number of people twitter-style which would substantially impact interaction quality imo.

I like this, we should generally encourage companies to put out quality open source stuff to undermine each other

Do you tend to sit upright with your feet flat on the floor? I went with a wide flat chair so I could sit cross legged. I’ve tried and disliked the ergonomic chairs that lean slightly forward

Yes, Seat! My bad

I visited and did a day trip bus tour that visited Loch Lomond, the kelpies (statue), and some ‘airy coos (hairy cows) which was a lot of fun. I hadn’t done a bus tour before but it was pleasant getting to see the scenery. Lomond had these cute little efficiency cabins available for rent and was not crowded if you’re interested in tiny house style accommodation. I also recommend the hike up to Arthur’s Seat* if you’ll be in Edinburgh.

Roughly what percentage of people go on to Gymnasiet? Is the next step University of some sort?

Here are a couple recent ones:

Just because I’m interested in archeology I thought I would share that evidence supporting a strong division of labour based on sex in ancient societies is pretty thin. There have been several articles lately arguing against that hypothesis due to finding skeletons of women buried with weapons and weapons that appear to be designed for lighter frames.

My experience was similar, gender felt like an external expectation, mostly a limiting one, growing up as a girl. I didn’t really internalize it besides accepting that it shapes how strangers receive and respond to me just like being short or ugly does.

The only part I feel confident with right now is safely obtaining the media. I’m fine with that step being manual.

If you usually leave interactions with them feeling drained and left out I think that’s a good enough reason to un-prioritize them. Friends are supposed to make you feel seen and valued (at least a reasonable percentage of the time).

I just don’t get why it’s a big deal, kbin is a beta passion project and forking it is encouraged, why spend your time upset about someone’s project even if it’s chaotic?

It’s weird to advertise yourself like this, just post that you’re welcoming new members for your cool project

Socks, granola bars, fruit snacks, snickers, wipes, hand warmers, maybe refillable water bottles?

We pay for the student disney/hulu with ads ($7 I think) as well as Peacock ($6) and we have access to a family member’s HBO Max. We quit netflix on principle last price hike and are planning to set up our own server—maybe plex so we can share with friends. We have apple for free for now (came with a TV).

We also pay for gamepass ($18) which I think belongs in a similar spending category.

I won’t be happy until we have a hologram cortana
