You shouldn't have to lock your doors to feel safe but in both cases, bad actors ruin it for everyone.

Burnout is a symptom of exploitation but not all burnout comes from exploitation. You can burn out from non-work activities like caregiving. You can burn out as a business owner or a member of a worker-owned co-op. You can burn out at a job that only expects healthy hours because you're an overachiever who refuses to take time off.

Not quite what you're looking for but Pretty Face is a great "I'm not really trans but I have to be for flimsy excuse" manga.

It's about a guy who gets in an accident that puts him in a coma for a year and is so badly mangled he needs his whole face rebuilt. The doctor who saves him has no idea what he looked like so he builds him a face based on a photo of his crush that was in his pocket. As it turns out, his crush has a missing twin sister so he decides to impersonate her to keep his crush happy while he searches for her real sister.

While the MC never explicitly identifies as trans in the text, there's a bunch of supporting subtext for it. He slowly gets more and more used to being seen as a girl and isn't in the biggest rush to get his old face back even after he finds a photo of himself for the doctor to use as a reference.

OP took a ton of liberties.

Comedians who got wealthy decades ago: Am I out of touch? No, it's the culture that's too PC!

I stopped watching a couple episodes in, the animation was cool at times but that wasn't enough to hold my interest.

It will be funny when all the LLMs start posting it in their responses at least.

That's a Naga not a dragon, a common mistake.

I actually dont understand why we not do something drastic. I mean like ban cars and planes.

Talk so some other people about your idea and you'll understand why we don't.

Because blocking an instance only blocks their communities from showing up in your All feed, it doesn't block comments.

Thanks, I appreciate for all the work you do for the site.

Only pinned for a day on a weekend? I feel like there's a significant segment of folks who only browse Lemmy at work.

Whenever I try to post an image this morning, the upload fails no matter what browser/client/frontend I use with:

Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out

Also this shows a popup with SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON but I assume that's a bug with the lemmy frontend since voyager shows the correct error.
