I hope this leads to being able to have a Proton sheets or whatever name the Google sheets equivalent will be.

The bill definitely has far more bad than good. I just didn’t appreciate Truthout cutting out the context to the quote from Harris. Taking quotes out of context or, like Truthout is doing here, introducing your own context to it by cutting out large parts of the sentence and joining two sentences together to make something appear different than it actually is, is not good journalism.

There’s definitely more than should be done but let’s examine how the article is framing what Harris said at the debate. “Harris noted that she supported a bipartisan border bill, which would have “put 1,500 more border agents on the border” to help “stem the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States.” She added, “I know there are so many families watching tonight who have been personally affected by the surge of fentanyl in our country.”” is what the article says. This makes it seem like she was saying that the new border agents would have stopped the fentanyl and that without them it would flow across.

But here’s what she actually said about the border bill “And that bill would have put 1,500 more border agents on the border to help those folks who are working there right now over time trying to do their job. It would have allowed us to stem the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States. I know there are so many families watching tonight who have been personally affected by the surge of fentanyl in our country. That bill would have put more resources to allow us to prosecute transnational criminal organizations for trafficking.” This is her saying not that the border agents would have stemmed the fentanyl coming across the border, like the article frames, but that the border bill itself would have done that which makes sense since it includes money for investment of tech that makes it easier to detect fentanyl at legal border crossings.

Should she be better on this and be talking more about how fentanyl comes in almost exclusively through legal border crossings and through US citizens? Yes. But she was NOT saying that the border agents themselves would have done it. The framing of the article on her words is just wrong.

There “was” a time? The gay and trans panic defense is still legal in a multitude of states and while it’s not as successful as it used to be, people still use it and get off without prison time.

Dunno if anyone has brought this up but Trump basically never looked at Harris. Even had his face turned her direction and just looked at the moderators. The only time he looked at her was when he was forced to at the start where she went to shake his hand. Dude hates her so much.

“Biblocal prophecies,” you say? Hmm. What prophecy in the Bible pertains to what’s supposed to happen when Jews are in complete control of the Holy Land? It couldn’t possibly be that they believe they need to support Israel so that Armageddon happens and they get raptured up into heaven, could it?

Nah. That’d be completely irrational and would show that the people who believe that have no right to be deciding policy for the future of the planet since they’re planning on leaving it as soon as possible.

Oh, those people have definitely had a conviction on their records impact them. Although I’m fairly sure the ones that didn’t go to prison were misdemeanors, so not felonies. But regardless, I just think it’s important context to know more about the 1900 number. Is it still not the best? Yeah. But it’s also not as black and white as she sent 1900 people to prison for weed.

1900 people were convicted, but only 45 of them went to prison. The rest were referred to addiction services and work release programs.

I think it’s more that people wanted a trans speaker or for people to speak about it directly. People are more interested in speeches than reading through the platform. Which I think is crazy since it very clearly outlines their intentions to defend us trans folk. But in the days of social media and sound clips, if you don’t have a speaker mentioning it directly, it doesn’t exist.

Quick notes from an avid jellyfin user. When you have a show or movie or whatever you want, not get identified, there’s a simple identify option you can do on the client on a computer or phone by clicking the 3 dots on the media. You get to search and label it. The only time this hasn’t appropriately assigned metadata for me was for shows with duplicate episodes in one mkv or whatever. That did take a lot of renaming, which did suck and is reasonable to not want to have to do. Especially for massive libraries.

I definitely agree about the roku client not having a marked as watched feature, that should be added.

There’s a lot of work to be done but it’s not just being done in the basic edition. For instance, there’s plugins that allow the skip credits and skip intro functions you want. And there’s ones for fanart, and allowing other databases of Metadata to select from. There’s a lot of plugins and more are being actively developed rather often. Even I’m trying to develop a “continue watching” feature like from Netflix, but it’s going slowly.

Jellyfin definitely takes more finagling than plex, i switched at the beginning of the year, but I’ve had multiple times since where my internet is out and because jellyfin is local network I’m still able to stream my media.

So yeah. Just some info about jellyfin. I get wanting the ease of plex, but I’ve personally really enjoyed adding the plugins and fucking around with everything it has.

Does anyone know if this was also an issue that was impacting ryzen chips in Windows 10?

Being trans at the Jerry Farwell university sounds like hell. I’m not surprised she got fired, they 100% think she’s an abomination. I wonder if she’ll start to question her faith now that she got fired. I at least assume she’s religious, it’s liberty university, after all. I hope she wins.

“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress."

Fucker may as well have said “I vowed to destroy my entire reputation and we’re making some progress.”

I’d be really interested in what someone from the community would do in public that they shouldn’t do in your country? Is that just existing or celebrating pride in public? Or is it, like, streaking?

I think peoples advice here is already good, but you need to think long term next. Is it safe to transition around her? Will you be supported no matter what, or will she eventually kick you out if you live with her? I know this is hard to think about, but it’s really important to think about your own safety and plan for it. If you think she’d kick you out at some point, try to find a place where you’d be safe. Try to find some level of community in the local trans community there (even if you don’t think there isn’t one, there absolutely is), so you have somewhere to go, and someone to be around that supports you and who you are.

Based on what you’ve already said you also need to decide if you actually CAN convince her right now, or if she’ll have to see you advance in your transition to see the difference in you as a person in order to start to understand. You should also consider what your point of no return is. What could she do that makes you not feel safe anymore? And how much energy are you willing to invest in this before you set up a hard boundary?

She seems to be intensely Christian. It can be hard to convince them to accept you because they genuinely think your existence is a sin or that you can be queer but being in public and queer is a sin. They’ll also do what you were saying, point out what they view as “problems” in the community in order to try and “save” you. That can be immensely disheartening, and you should consider your future with her in your life or if it’d be better to get as much distance from her as you’re comfortable with. Because it usually takes a big shift in order for someone like that to change their beliefs, just having good points won’t really convince them.

You shouldn’t feel ashamed for being trans, and you need to consider whether her continuing to say those things you talked about could make you second guess or consider not transition because of her, not because of your own wants. Your happiness comes first, and if she’s a good mom, she should see you be happier and accept you.

I know all this is hard, having a parent who disrespects your existence is devastating. But that’s just the reality for a lot of us. Particularly at the start. It took my dad 4 years to even use my name. Talk to your therapist for coping mechanisms so you can make sure your mental health isn’t as deeply impacted as it can be when facing this situation. Make sure you can be somewhere safe during times when your emotions overwhelm you and remember, it’s okay to cry.

Again, you deserve to be yourself and be happy and be accepted by those around you. If your mom doesn’t accept you at the start, that might change, but it might not, and that’s okay, even if it’s hard. You can live a happy and awesome life without the support of your parents. Never feel like you are unlovable or like no one will ever love you, that’s fucking bullshit and you are deserving of love and will find someone who loves you for you, I guarantee it.

It wasn’t even just him. Apparently, there were multiple trans students deadnamed. So it’s not just an accident for one person.

This is really awesome and huge progress! My sister lived in Thailand for over 3 years, she loved it there. But she also got taught a trans slur about trans women and would routinely use it to refer to me while she was living there. That’s mainly a problem with my sister, but she was taught it by the culture over there. Hopefully, with this progress happening, there’s more progress with trans acceptance and not using slurs.

Don’t forget that the Simpsons play a huge part as well. Even citing two episodes in his blog post.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a shitty thing to do. But there are two important facts to keep in mind. First, that this has been something they’ve been working on for months so it’s not like biden and his administration went from telling bibi that he needs to protect civilians and try to come to a deal with hamas and have a ceasefire to selling him these jets in the same talk. Second, these jets have to be built. It’ll take at least 5 years for them to be built and anyone who is aware of how slow our government builds jets knows that that could be extended. If anything this isn’t shitty because it’s giving Israel jets, its shitty because it looks like a fucking bribe from the Israelis to try and make sure the US continues to support them.
