To give everyone some perspective on the BS behind these transphobic bans: professional darts and professional chess both have trans bans. It’s never been about fairness in sports

It’ll happen after the Trump pardon

I fled the US. If they come after my naturalization they’d be doing me a favor because expat taxes suuuuuuck

At the start of the water wars, we are. At stake, our own survival is.

Billionaires caused this

I’m speedrunning French, trying to focus on Québécois you kinda end up learning traditional French too along the way. This is my third language.

• Duo for daily practice and grammar, but it makes a lot of mistakes
• Work group to practice speaking
• I switched various daily apps to French
• Grabbed a few comic books in French, happy to say I’m now past those :)
• Québécois friends for slang and informal reference
• Recently been playing Pokemon ZA in French (extra fun since it’s in Poke-Paris), quite pleased with it!

I’m about a year in, and I’m low-level conversational. Solidly A2. Basically just taking any resources I can find, I plan to look for a proper class soon.

Le chemin est très agréable, je le trouve bien!

Pans Labyrinth

I especially love that it’s one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. Fun fact, the faun speaks medieval Spanish

I was seriously looking into a shotgun until we decided to flee the country instead

It’s actually called mental floss :)

My day job won’t go far, but my fire expertise and leatherworking skills will take me pretty far

Calm down now Trump

In a weird twist, despite speaking Spanish, my particular dialect doesn’t have a formal you. We use usted for everyone. I joke that “usted es un malcriado puta de mierda” is a perfectly valid sentence

I also know French and that one does have a formal you, but it also doubles as the plural you so it’s a bit more common. It also has two different forms of we

If you feed a latex tube through the nose and out the mouth then pull it back and forth, it makes a squeaking sound

The industry does not necessarily care if someone’s music is digital or acoustic, but it WILL care if they have to pay you for it.

I’ve unfollowed and purged real artists for less

You can’t convince me that’s not manufactured

Have the day you voted for ✨

More modern bots have specific instructions to try to avoid injection attacks. It really depends on how shitty the bot is

Will you help people, or will you harm them? You don’t have an option of inaction - inaction is harmful. If you have the power to help another person, you should be under a moral imperative to do so.

For what it’s worth, that goes beyond liberalism and into leftist belief. Liberal has been traditionally used to refer to the left in the US since the US has two right wing parties, but is center to center right literally everywhere else (like Canada).

Arguing with bots. They have nothing to lose, they will never change their minds, and they just pollute the discussion with brainrot banter

Arguing with Nazi bots is even worse
