I highly recommend checking out LGBT organizations in your area, some of them have hobby clubs and meetups and whatnots (if there’s none in your local area try calling one anyway, maybe there are people interested in being online friends).

The question you asked screams lack of confidence and honestly the best cure would be to add some queer friends.

Of course it’s okay to say “when I was a little boy”. Why wouldn’t it be? Did someone told you it’s not okay to say that? Who was it?

but my friend corrected me and said i meant “people who get pregnant”, because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant

I think the correct response is to ask that friend why are they trying to pivot the discussion from women abortion. Was she trying to rail you up? Discourage your argument or position by implying you’re not good enough?

Honestly, she sounds like she preemptively gets offended on other people behalf, or like someone who weaponizes “being more PC than you”.

Or she knows a pregnant man (I think the stats were about 100 a year get pregnant, most of them immediately go to a clinic) personally and decided it’s the perfect time to use that fact to win the discussion? Or virtue signaling? I mean I’m assuming something is wrong with her, because that situation is random and unexpected.

I’m all for it. But let’s not forget Russia paying reparations to Poland, Estonia, Finland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and Tuva.

If that was intervention to ‘free Donbas’ it would stop at Donbas and would not include city and civilian infrastructure bombing, would it now?

Americans aren’t being influenced by spooky foreigner actors on the other side of the world

Literally the link you posted contradicts it

Washington Post: Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters

I feel like we’re going in circles. Happy New Year!

What are you trying to argue here? The OC was removed and you just listed a lot of non aggression pacts - with Polish ones in red for some reason?

You might be confusing using functions with functional programming. Python is Object Oriented language at it’s core, most people use it as procedural, and like most modern languages it supports also functional paradigms.

I believe I have the honour of wearing the same medal :)

This is one of them, it’s a list of fun facts about USA, and current state of capitalism.

Like UN study showing that 3% of USA military budget would end hunger world wide.

It’s a pile of garbage and he seems to genuinely believe in it

I honestly don’t know how to help you. Take care of yourself, because you sound unwell

Isn’t that lemmygrad.ml, not lemmy.ml?

Cut off from several instances for the behavior of others

Name them please. Because as far as I know, its a few small ones with barely any traffic?

There’s a push recently on lemmy to make people think that .ml instance is unpopular, it’s user wrong and you should leave it or be ostracized.

This is the nth post about it I’ve seen in the past few months.

However, I also don’t think it’s useful or accurate to reduce them to “Putin bad"

As their neighbour, I totally agree. It’s not Putin bad. It’s everyone from fucking Russia. There’s nothing that came from Russia and wasn’t made into an abomination.

(* Except Russian people who left Russia because they could see how god damn awful that place and everyone in it is; Pretending otherwise is literally dismissing their culture).

Now I’m curious about the conversation on the internet with a lemmy.ml user you had.

Because you compare that to a shooting.

Kinda weird.

I’ll add to that - a good tell tale of a tomato NOT being over-engineered pitbull is it having green “shoulders” near the steam, especially if it’s pearl shaped. That’s a sign of it being of the heirloom variety.

Generally green shoulders are a sign of the tomato NOT being artificially ripened.

Alt text: You guys are getting paid?

That has been a conscious decision made by google years ago. They earn money from you searching (and seeing ads), not finding, so…

I use it for copy paste box - e.g. if I have a log somewhere that is in a shitty ui that doesn’t wrap, but requires me to scroll right, I copy paste that into a copilot window and press enter. Then I can read it (because it wraps), it sends a metric somewhere, I can ignore the output from the chat and do my job lol
