overview for Gormadt

But also a factor (for those that know) is that companies will pay for their ads to run to specific demographics of people based on the data that a advertising platform (Twitter, YouTube, Tinder, Facebook, etc) has gathered to determine specific things about you as a person.

It's the whole concept behind targeted ads. You pay for eyes that will see it and are more likely to purchase your products due to that demographic data. Or at the very least, view your website for traffic that can be used to harvest more data about you so that it can be sold to other companies.

If it wasn't clear I'm the tank in this gif, they're the ones throwing stuff.

I say relatives because family doesn't treat you like they treated me, like shit.

They earned their blocks and I hope they someday can find peace.

Always keep in mind folks, family is the relationship not blood. You can't change your relatives, but who you consider family is purely up to you.

Never be afraid to cut toxic/shitty people out of your life.

International chess federation FIDE: a trans woman "has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women" in c/lgbtq_plus

Of course they are, the pieces are super manly in the men's games. Made of concrete for extra ruggedness and painted manly colors, nothing bright or cheerful as far as the eye could see. And the chairs they sit in are also super manly no comfort at all. All played on a manly tactical chessboard. /S

Seriously though this whole decision just screams "cruelty is the point" and no concept of equality.

how's your week going, Beehaw in c/chat

Damn good this week

I'm currently on vacation for the week and turns out basically this whole week is supposed to be over 100F

I work in a hot warehouse going into truck trailers all day that are baking on the sun so I'm digging it

As someone who grew up in rural Washington on the threshold of populated Washington, yeah shit gets pretty fucked really quick in those rural areas.

It was a really religious area as well so that really didn't help. The local religious people have a strong belief in having as many children as possible as soon as possible. The running non-joke (because it's common) about it is the first kid to turn 16 drives the 3rd van.

Personally I think it's more related to the current recent climate stuff and the failure of the G20 summit to come to an agreement on the climate crisis.

Credit hurdles for transgender and nonbinary people could be cleared under proposed bill in c/lgbtq_plus

[–] Gormadt 5 points 2 years ago

I had no idea that this was a hurdle that they'd have to jump over

It seems stupid to me that this wasn't the case already

This really needs to pass

If I did a push up every time I thought about how I should be working out I'd be ripped.

I should really work out.

I'll have to check the stream out later but thank you for the heads-up

I Painted a Conker inspired Roper and some rocks for DnD night with some buds. I can't wait to see their faces. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I printed and painted this Roper mini and the rocks for DnD night with my buds.

I was inspired by the Conker's Bad Fur Day boss the Great and Mighty Poo for the color scheme of the Roper.

Image Description: Pictured is a group of 4 printed and painted cone shaped rocks with a cone shaped creature in the middle that's brown with one red eye and yellow teeth. The color scheme is inspired by a boss called the Great and Mighty Poo (a giant pile of poop) from Conkers Bad Fur Day.
