    My advice: make sure he has other interests and socializes.

    I was obsessed with coding from age 7, and now wish I had spent that time otherwise, more being a “normal” kid and less time sitting alone giving orders to a damned computer. Once I reached my mid-twenties the joy died in the realities of the job market, and now I can’t even think about that crap anymore.

    You know what I enjoy now? Playing a guitar. Didn’t start until age 30, and it was like a revelation.

    Sorry I didn’t answer your question. I still think any parent who wants to “get their child started” on something early should heed my advice and experience. I am for real a walking, talking (sometimes) warning.

    Well the police can declare an unlawful assembly at any time for any reason, which tends to stir up even peaceful crowds. Not to mention being face to face with militarized thugs in riot gear, drones, helicopters, armored vehicles, mounted police, tear gas and “non-lethal” rounds. If I had a gas cannister lobbed at me, why wouldn’t I toss it right back. Fuck em. ACAB.

    You might have no intention of causing trouble, but still get rounded up. Happened almost every day in my city for several months during BLM protests. Mass arrests of people in the wrong place at the wrong time. The countless live streamed videos don’t lie, each protest was non-violent until police agitated the crowd.

    I don’t go looking for trouble but I have my limits just like anyone else.

    I think it’s hilarious that people are still using DOS in 2024!

    Sim City 2k was the first time I used Windows 95. One of the teachers in my sixth grade class had it on their computer, and they let us take turns playing it. It seemed really amazing to those of us who grew up with more primitive computers, like Apple IIs, even Macs, various x86 clones running DOS, or occasionally Windows 3.1.

    My first PC in 1998 even had Sim City 2k “Network Edition” pre-installed. Played the shit outta that game!

    All that shit is so real and it hurts so FUCKING bad. I hate being othered. I hate being the lone exception to inclusivity, diversity and tolerance. I have never once harmed so much as a hair on a woman’s (or man’s) head. But I’m dangerous and not trustworthy?! Fuck that noise.

    Also the sex part is basically my partner and I:

    NSFW

    My partner cums every time we fuck (PIV). It takes about 3 minutes and then game over.

    While I’m lying there thinking about how I’m still horny and unfulfilled, my partner is already off washing, getting dressed, and ready to leave (we don’t live together).

    Since I started HRT three years ago, it hurts to have sex like we used to. I have mentioned this numerous times, but it’s “the only way” my partner can get off, apparently. I have mentioned that I need more time, more attention, more patience.

    My partner loves and appreciates my long hair, my babysoft smooth skin, my perky tits, my ass, my slender frame, and my dick. But not enough to take the time to properly foreplay or focus on my needs. I’ve even done what other women do: fake orgasms so they feel better about their self :/

    It continues to drive a wedge between us, because I need more, and I am not getting it from my partner. I crave affection, touch, and intimacy. I need to be held, maybe for hours.

    I feel like I should start charging people for orgasms, because I don’t get anything else out of the exchange.

    Super relatable. I never realized why I hated clothes shopping for the first 30 years of my life. I dreaded it, nothing ever looked good to me. All completely uninspiring.*

    Then I found women’s clothes, then my egg cracked.

    You know what I hate now? My very limited monies to actually buy all the cute feminine clothing I want. I’m in a debt from a spree I went on a few months ago x.x

    * Except suits. Call me crazy but I love women in suits. Formal attire looks so much better on them. I’m totally mixing a bit of shirts, ties, jackets and such into my everyday look, albeit feminine cuts.

    You are waaaay overthinking this.

    It’s a crossover meme from trans/gender-nonconforming spaces. We have ways of finding humor in what is often an frightening and deadly serious situation (being trans in this world).

    One of the in-jokes we have that I saw quite a bit on reddit, is that especially trans women and femboys “are all programmers or IT people” and being technical minded, use Linux. (I’m a trans woman who uses Fedora… Hi)

    I think there is also the political and economic association that comes with FOSS – it’s a sort of disruption of the norm in capitalism, which is to have proprietary secrets as a store of value. FOSS challenges the notion that the fruits of labor should be privitized. In that sense it’s a radical movement, always has been, even if it has been adopted by the world at large.

    Trans folk are as a rule, politically left-leaning, it seems these days we must be to exist, and so FOSS like Linux naturally appeals to the community.

    Obviously there are going to be many non-technical trans people, and tech trans people alike who use proprietary OSes; and conversely most Linux users aren’t trans or GNC. The meme isn’t meant to be taken literally or to change anyone’s beliefs or actions.
