I’ve literally seeing the rights of myself and other get taken away in the last week. I’m moving cross country to get out of the state I’m currently in because it does not recognize who I am.

They want to open up people like me to descrimination and hate crimes. I’m wondering what will happen with my job if this stuff keeps happening.

There are real world consequences to politics and people sticking their heads in the sand is the reason literal fascism is on the rise.

If you are privileged enough to feel you don’t have to worry about politics that generally means you aren’t the current target.

I haven’t done much with UI in general, but the one time I thought of making some UI stuff in windows I gave up.

Even modifying an existing .net program someone else made for a feature I wanted was a nightmare.

Like I feel they should want right wing nuts to be mad about the game. They won’t stop talking about media that are mad about and so many conservatives will still buy the thing even just to destroy it and virtue signal to the other idiots.

The left? Some may still buy it, but most don’t talk about it at all. The idea of “go woke go broke” has always been a message of intent, not reality, at least in the modern era.

Nothing makes me want to try a game or watch a show more than legitimate, non surface level representation that incels whine about.

We I have the fun combination with (undiagnosed) autism and t Which one had primary control at any time is a scrap shoot.

Even medicated I can not see the clutter… Until it’s all I can see and I start AuDHD cleaning.

That’s kind of what happened to me. Never needed to study in grade school. Had to scramble and learn how to study in college.

Still didn’t register why I had so much trouble focusing or remembering stuff until the last year or so.

The girls in the class will figure themselves out eventually

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I’ve gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

Yep. I’ll up vote news of a hate crime or something, but downvote things that are directly hateful.

Context always matters and a lot of the big sites fail to understand the difference between talking about things like racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and somone being those things.

I generally don’t downvote unless somone is being bigoted or hateful.

I probably should now. I didn’t need to much for the first couple of years of the pandemic because I basically just stayed home and only put one on when I was going to be around people.

But the issue is I can’t ever seem to get a good seal and between breathing into my eyes and wearing glasses it just becomes way harder to deal with and now I’m vaccinated I don’t feel as much of a thing for it.

I’ll probably wear one more during cold season as I use to get one once or twice every year before the pandemic.

That said, there are still places I will wear it, like the doctor’s office.

I should do this. I don’t have a whole lot, but I might archive some stuff I posted on lemmy somewhere.

I blocked that community because it was literally flooding my front page

My app treats that link as a user instead of a community and complains it can’t find it.

I wouldn’t like this. Each instance is going to have different moderation stances and I’d like to avoid groups that alow or promote hate.

Being able to separate communities gives users more power to dictate what content they want to consume or interact with.

I don’t really see it being too different from reddit when subbed to to subreddits that have similar topics. I’d see the same topic multiple times.

The thing is, I went to reddit for the discussion and it would be different depending on which community the post was in and that can be the case here. A news sub in lemmy.world is going to have a more general view but a news sub in my own instance will have more LGBTQ people in the discussions.
