HardlightCereal got banned from Raddle for doxing someone. The site’s primary admin quite literally uses they pronouns. That doesn’t preclude enbypobia in itself but should at least make you question what HardlightCereal’s actual goal is without more evidence.

Not quite. If you are in so deep that you are worried about color you already past the executive order that defines the layout of the flag as you know it.

If you notice all the flags in the video has a singular blue area. This one has two. Whether that is valid or not dependa on how you interpret “union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field”.

If you think that means the blue area must be contiguous then this flag does not meet the definition. If you think the blue area does not need to be contiguous then this flag may meet the definition.

So I had a conversation on this in a different community. I’m going to summarize my conclusion here.

Sadly the flag code defines the flag as having a singular blue fied.

I tried to get a good definition of what exactly a field is. Here we have the definition “The backdrop color to a flag. Ex: On the Arkansas state flag, it is the red part.”

I’m not actually finding a better definition and am starting to question if the canton in the US flag counts as a field in vexillology terms since it isn’t a ‘backdrop’.

A better way, and perhaps the more accurate, is to ask how we would construct a flag. The red field in the Arkansas flag is one piece of fabric. The blue canton is one piece of fabric. Two blue stripes could be once piece of fabric with everything else sewn into of it. But I think the better construction would be two pieces of fabric sewn on to the outer two stripes.

But I wouldn’t worry about it since section 5 codifies “existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag of the United States” by using an existing executive order. That order’s attachment basically defines the flag as you know it.

Of course none of this is actually has a mechanism of enforcement so you can fly just about anything and just call it the American flag.

The shift from denial to acceptance that one is trans.

Egg is a term, somewhat controversially, used to describe people who are in denial or questioning. So “hatching” is when you come out of your “egg/shell”.

I don’t fly often but it may be getting better. 🤷‍♀️

Beginning in May 2022, TSA is also updating its screening procedures to better serve transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming travelers through less invasive screening procedures for passengers who trigger the AIT scanner in a sensitive area. This change will reduce the number of pat downs for TSOs and the travelling public without compromising security, and will be in effect until the gender-neutral AIT screening technology is deployed.

So at least they know at an organizational level they have an issue.

Of course my view is they are a useless organization overall and locked cockpit doors do 99% of their jobs.

I wouldn’t call it selfish. They want tools for more granular control on their instance. That’s perfectly fine. If they limit who can post or comment based on the instance they are from. The other instances are perfectly free to limit their users as well in response or for their own arbitrary reasons.

There seems to be a distinct lack of controls across lemmy as a whole. The only option for them is all or nothing at the moment.

I think the big take away is for users to think about what instance they create their accounts and communities on.

Yes and any government trying to stop people from transitioning should be opposed at every step.

But there are transitions beyond just medically or even socially. The transition of the mind, of how you view yourself, can’t be stopped or taken away. And no matter how long it takes for someone to realize or start that transition, they are doing it at the exact right time for themselves.

Was wondering if there was a canon source after reading this and found this article and the answer is:

Sorry if I seemed argumentative. I was trying to state that it wasn’t just your opinion that they don’t own user data but it is a fact they don’t own user data.

Already a thing as far as I know. For example lemmy.world federation/block list.

It’s not their data. If you scrape Reddit for the comments are reposted them somewhere else Reddit wouldn’t be able to come after you with a copyright violation lawsuit.

Any potential copyright is still owned by the original user with Reddit having a license to sublicense for “syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.”

They would have to come after you with a ToS contract violation or maybe some kind of Computer Fraud and Misuse allegations.

Just need the people complaining about people complaining post followed by a rule baning complaining about people. Then we can get the golden meta post of complaining about the rule stopping you from complaining about people.

Just a simple call-reaponse meme. AnarchyChess ended spreading everywhere. Probably because chess took off with middle and high schoolers during 2020 lockdown.

Be careful with that thinking. That way can lead to complacency. Big tech loves embrace, extend, extinguish

I could see a corp like Microsoft or Google or someone else seeing long term value in federated services. They could create a service utilizing the technology and spread it to their user base. Slowly add in some special sauce to their own version of it to attract more people to their part of it. Then break compatibility with everything else to stop someone from stealing users back.

Sadly I can’t take credit for this since I stole the meme.

I did notice the change as a shower thought after the fact and started to wonder if there was something I could add to capture the cadence of the original. But I got nothing.

Somewhat agree

I feel there is a Liberty Prime “Validity is not optional” meme there somewhere to go with this one

Same here. I can either dwell on how much time I feel I lost or accept that the journey made me who I am today.
