  • Not trans, but, is there a chance that it’s Covid related? I was always a big fan of spicy things, and I had gotten pretty used to them before. After the 2 worst times I got covid, since I lost big chunks of my sense of taste (almost completely gone now 🥲), spicy things were kinda easier to sense again. Well, I got used to them again, so they’re back to normal pretty quickly, but the profile of spicy foods in my mouth is very different now. It wasn’t something as dramatic as you’re describing, so not sure.








  • This doesn’t address the core issue of capitalism:

    Owners in general (of businesses, housing, everything) get all the money, thanks to the opportunity to mercilessly take advantage of workers/renters/everyone else. And taking advantage gets you more money to take more advantage of people.

    The passivest of incomes goes to the owners, the ceos are just the highest paid guard dogs of those people.

    Is that ok? Passive income being much harder to earn for everyone, unless you are rich enough to start your own business, that is.

    Are we not going to end up in the same situation? Isn’t it basically the same situation we’re already in?




  • I don’t like this argument.

    You’re advising

    "not pursuing or discussing what the truth might be, because of political opponents".

    Political opponents who want you un-existing either way, and will use any excuse and lie available to barely mask that hate of theirs.

    Neither those people’s “understanding”, nor their amount of available means to mask their hate, really affects trans people’s freedom.

    The "average Joe" can't be "won over" either, because they don't care. Until something happens, to make them care. Like an a acquaintance or loved one being involved.

    But in the off-chance that they can, (without being personally affected), they will be won over by recognising a truth of the world.

    Victory by “reasonable vibes”, is achieved by reaffirming what’s already in someone else’s head. It’s only a victory if you’re trying to not change something.

    So seek the truth. Don’t appeal to the good nature of the oppressor.

    (tap)

    for more, at least in Jerboa.

    There is no Firefox without people’s desire for privacy. There is no sufficient privacy without people removing the diseased fingerprint of multiple big companies.

    There is no possibility of a big browser surviving, without caving to big companies, in the artificially hostile web created by Google’s monopoly.

    And that last one is fundamentally unfair, beyond any accusation of “Derivative!” anyone can make.
