This post isn’t even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It’s also not a political agenda being supported, it’s basic decency.

And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone’s first? I wasn’t born in the 50s so I didn’t start with the original series. It’s been going on for decades, people can start wherever.

Google Music did this back in the day, I lost versions of tracks that I couldn’t find anywhere again, infuriating.

What I misunderstood was what the bank required an app for, in my very sick and sleep deprived mind I thought they were saying banks required you to install their app to get service from that bank in any form which I thought was absurd, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Definitely, maybe the general cultural shift towards more sustainable practices will help eventually, but when I say ‘dedicated action’ I don’t mean taking shorter showers.

But people do that more now than they ever have, many individuals do take steps to help the environment. We don’t need all the masses to rise, just enough dedicated action from a portion can have massive impact.

Haha I forgot it even meant that, I did just pick it at random from a food label :p

It’s a classic simple joke probably decades old, but the humor is in the implication they want a bigger portion of something bad. Edit: ah it seems to be from the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4151-there-s-an-old-joke---um-two-elderly-women-are

There’s an old joke - um… two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, “Yeah, I know; and such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.

Why do I need to use a mobile website? I guess the comment I replied to was meaning they require their app for mobile banking vs browser which I should have realized

Ah but I love reading these specific philosophical discussions on tech, I don’t blame you though

To be fair they do say they “need to be” transparent, not that they were going to be :p

Wholesome to see people help, but the main feeling I get is revulsion that this person can have a wheelchair provided with insurance but can’t even get proper functionality without paying.

Unfortunately in the US many trans and trans-supporting people do view guns as potentially necessary. Glorification of trans murder is common among the right-wing here and they definitely are armed.

There was a thread this week about Biden’s achievements and it got at least 600 comments haha.

I mentioned in another comment, I’m talking about visiting my grandma who lives on the opposite coast, like once a year or less, it’s not cheap to drive that far. And for a trip that would be better to drive than fly I’d rather take a train, it’s more pleasant and comfortable, they usually have bars and food served, I don’t have to worry about parking or traffic and I could rent a car there if I need one.

How often do you ride the subway? Thousands of people take the subway in NYC everyday of all income levels, it’s a pretty big success.

That’s a problem with the infrastructure and transit policy, not the technology. I can’t afford a car, where I’m at I’m able to take a train to cities nearby, I can take a free shuttle to the train station or bike because it’s not very far. In the past in the US at least there were more train and tram routes, when cars because more prevalent cities stopped developing the infrastructure, but if done properly it can be superior to driving.

I know right, a plane ride will take me exactly to her house! What kind of logic is this? Can you recommend a method to travel across the US to visit my grandma that wouldn’t require me paying or being restricted in where I could go? That is how modern travel works in every form.

Also anyway when I take the train I could take a bike with me and bike the rest of the way, or in my city there is a free shuttle from the train station to the center of downtown, with buses every direction from there, any many bigger cities have light-rails or subways that connect from train stations. And it’s healthy to walk, people have walked for thousands of years.

If it ain’t an MRE and you are busy cooking you aren’t gonna be ready when the commies kick down your bomb shelter door and take your guns! And also cooking is for women.
