    Yeah I can’t hear the dialogue, but when those two characters kissed I could hear everything happening in their mouthes and that’s what’s really important.

    Two characters kiss in deep space 9 and it sounds like a kiss irl. Two characters kiss in superman (2025) (or almost any modern media) and I’m listening to a 30+ second close-up of the actors trying to wetly suck the other’s lips into their mouth. Why??


  • Hello I am trans and here are my rules for writing trans characters:

    • give me fifty bucks

    If you do not follow these rules that’s when it’s transphobia and the more you do not follow these rules the more transphobia it is. Now pay up.

    Joking aside, I think that if you are respectful and not ill-informed then I would be okay with it. I can’t speak for other people though. I write “not ill-informed” because a lot of people pass themselves off as being well-intentioned while reflecting some very uncomfortable and strange biases or preconceptions. There is not an inherent problem, but there are potentially many common pitfalls that one should know of and avoid.




  • Libinput. I want to use wayland. I would use wayland. I will not use wayland because libinput is the antichrist.

    Every now and then I update my system and go to move my cursor and say (aloud) “wow, this is ass!” And that’s when I know that I’m in a wayland session or libinput has otherwise been selected as my touchpad’s input driver. And it’s not like other Linux things where I can just change some settings to tune it, noooo, because why would you need to do that?? Let’s just make an input driver that shakes the cursor with my every heartbeat and a hardcoded acceleration profile that is simultaneously too sensitive to click small things and not sensitive enough to move a window across the screen without multiple touchpad strokes because that’s perfect on every system and everyone should just be okay with that because it’s the standard and good and I hate it hate hate hate hate

    Hate hate hate hate hate

    Hate

    (I very much appreciate you, libinput developers, you do great work and I am grateful for it, and I just have some (kind of maybe very strong) suggestions about configurability in your design philosophy)


  • Do shaved armpits stink less? I’ve been shaving mine when the hairs are past a few cm long, which should reduce the surface area, but it’s still an armpit and I can’t tell if it’s better or worse or unchanged.

    Also side note the expectation to shave one’s arms and legs is bullshit but I can use like half the amount of sunscreen with the hairs being short and that’s pretty nice.

    When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I’m thinking “just take finasteride” or “why don’t you just take finasteride” or “just block the DHT this isn’t some inevitable thing and that’d probably help so why don’t you just do that?” But I’m not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things

    I was forced to do this terrible thing in order to not starve. Instead of doing anything about it, I think that we should make anyone who didn’t suffer as much have to do that terrible thing in order to not starve. Otherwise they do not deserve it.
