I don't care if it makes me a homer (for both teams), but I've been saying since before last season that the 2023/2024 season will end with Bears/Dolphins Superbowl, Bears victory 52-51

It'd be nice if we could have RIF open-sourced then expanded for Lemmy, especially expanding to different hosts

I'm looking for something like this (queer/trans memes). Could you link the community?

I thought Ace Attorney was Nintendo second party, so I'm shocked that it's available for mobile. I'll check it out

I don't think it's explicitly an issue with capitalism itself (although capitalism does use it to it's advantage). Decision Paralysis is well-known, and i don't see why abolishing capitalism would make it universally easier to make uninformed decisions

I love being queer, but I kinda wish I could have been a cis lesbian over being a trans lesbian. Dysphoria sucks, yo

I'd still take being trans over being a cis guy. Nothing wrong with being a guy, but that's just not me

I’m glad our sport is generally welcoming to a diverse group of people.

I know this intellectually, but it's so difficult for me to internalize that "WFTDA unconditionally welcomes trans skaters". I've just felt like a second-class citizen for most of my derby career, as if "being too good" (i do a lot of cross training to improve my strength and agility, so people on the outside could easily blame me being a strong player on "natural advantages from male puberty") could push me out of the sport that I've pour so much of myself into.

Over time, my league has grown, and we now have five (!) trans femme or nonbinary skaters. Seeing them being accepted (including a non-medically-transitioning AMAB enby) has really helped my recent mental state related to this

This makes a lot of sense to me (as an Operations Engineer).

I could imagine the architecture team has low watermark triggers to rescale the architecture, kill and restore hosts, or other changes based on expected user load. When that load just.. isn't there, the automated tooling just loops the same actions causing site instability.

I've had similar issues before, so it seems like a feasible explanation

Orlando is objectively a queer friendly city, but they don't have any pride events in June.

There's an unofficial event each June called "Disney World Gay Days" (not affiliated with Disney themselves, who just treat it like any other summer day), so Orlando moved their pride celebration to October instead. I think it's understandable, but it always sucks to feel left out from the rest of the queer community.

I've actually have never been to Pride, since other things tend to conflict, and social anxiety in general. This year, I will definitely participate (motivated by the phrase: "Pride is a Protest"). I've been "openly queer" for the last 5ish years, but I haven't been "openly trans", but I'm taking steps to own that identity, at least more openly. Perhaps people can clock me as trans, but no one ever says anything, so i think I might currently qualify as "stealth", but I feel like I don't pass. Just in that weird superposition.

I have at least one symbolic gesture I want to make this June. I play Women's Flat Track Roller Derby, and I want to fly the trans flag during my player intro. It's a very small thing to do, but trans athletics has been under attack, so I feel like choosing to be a visible trans athlete is something i need to do

I live in Florida, and I have no current plans to leave.

I'm lucky/privileged that the current set of laws don't affect me directly (or at least significantly), so I intend to stay as long as I can, so i can continue to protest and bring attention to these issues

I understand that things are fucked right now. If anyone feels they need to leave, i fully support them to do so. (Many of my friends have left for New York or Illinois,) I'm just not at that point myself yet.
