  Of course they know, they’re using it to hide the truth. Stop giving a corporation the benefit of the doubt where public safety is concerned, especially when they’ve been shown to abuse it in the past

  I have had a very similar experience. I still avoid driving whwnever I can. A different take on what your father said, I think a car accident is just another, fairly common, lesson in how to drive. It can be true both that almost everyone has had an accident AND that being in an accident can be traumatic and very off-putting. Your feelings are absolutely valid. Sadly, in the U.S., being able to drive is more or less required to be able to participate in pretty much anything.

  Ultimately, my crash drove me to be a much more careful and aware driver, and while I still hate to drive, looking back I think being in an accident was probably inevitable for me. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I can’t give advice or anything, just wanted to share.

  No, it’s the difference between software engineering and software development. If your project manager is handling that, your org is wack

  I think I know why authoritarian has different connotations, specifically not inherently negative to me–stellaris! When setting up your civilization in stellaris, there are several… factors? you can base them on, each one has an opposite. Materialist vs spiritualist, militarist vs pacifist, xenophobe vs xenophile, and authoritarian vs egalitarian. I’m used to the word in the context of a descriptive spectrum, not inherently good or bad. (Usually bad in the context of irl stuff, that just doesn’t seem to be where my mind goes first) Just thought you might find it neat

  Yep exactly pretty much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. Transphobia is straight up not tolerated at all. There is zero room for discussion. It’s not something a community on bz can allow, it’s ada’s mission statement that bz is a safe space for trans people, end of story. That’s why I love it and use it. I wouldn’t call it censorship heavy, at least not in the aame way ml and the like are. You can criticize and bitch about ada and her actions as much as you want, you won’t get silenced. However, I’d still absolutely place it on the authoritarian end of the spectrum compared to a place like dbzero. I call it authoritarian but it’s not a negative thing, it’s why I use it. It’s it done right. Idk maybe I have different connotations for the instance and for the word authoritarian than you/most people, I hope this clears up what I mean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy.world – biggest, defaultest instance. All the pros and cons associated with that

  Lemmy.ml – very authoritarian leftist instance. Has a tankie problem but also has cool communists. Has heavy censorship

  Lemmy.blahaj.zone – trans focused, very queer, authoritarian by nature of being a trans safe space. Generally chiller but contradictorily also the center of a lot of drama, because people love to hate trans safe apaces.

  dbzero – don’t remember the actual domain, run by dbZ. Anarchist democracy instance, very cool and chill, it’s what I’d sign up on if I started afresh

  sh.itjust.works – tbh don’t know much about them but pretty straightforward, is what the label aays, it just works

  Hexbear – wver wanted to see a aerver that unironically loves the chinese communist party and thinks north korea is aspirational? There you go

  pawb.social – I think this might be am mbin instance instead of a lemmy instance but I’m not sure. Can be summarized as " the furry one"

  lemmynsfw – the porn one. Most instances are defederated feom it

  Those are the ones foremost in my mind. Tons of small European ones that are focused on specific countries too. I anticipate replies giving me shit for uttering the word “tankie”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Stabbed him 14 times. Laughing while doing it. Talking about how much she loved it. How she wanted to do it again. Self defense is more than fine, it’s damn good to stand up for yourself, but spitting on someone and escalating it into a fight that you use as an excuse to kill someone is unacceptable. If it was a Republican who spat on someone, starting a fight before shooting them 14 times, saying how much he loved shooting her and how he’d love to do it again, I’d say that’s indefensible and he’s an evil bastard, just like this woman is.

  Self-defense endong in the attackers death doesn’t make the killer a bad person. The facts of this circumstance, as I know and understand them (which very well may be flawed, it’s not like I was there) lead me to the conclusion that she’s an evil bastard. Trans people are just fucking people. We can be evil bastards, the same as everyone else. We may be at higher risk of violence due to hateful bigots, but that doesn’t excuse the act of murder. The act of killing, sure, if necessary in the course of self defense. However, as I know and understand what happened (and seemingly the jury as well), that was not the case here.

  Hate me if you want to, I’m used to it. I just want to speak out because I have seen the whole “excuse terrible actions from your side no matter what and refuse to look at reality” thing from shitbag republicans SO MUCH and I hate to see allies doing it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a trans woman. Self defense? Stabbing someone 14 times to death and talking about how much you loved it and would do it again? That’s pretty plainly not self defense. Even if you are happy a transphobe got atabbed to death (please, develop some empathy) she clearly deserves the sentence she got. Trans people are just people, some of us are evil bastards, just like all the other people. I’ve gotten slurs yelled at me, I would fight back if I needed to, but I’d never take sadistic glee in murdering someone. Please, consider what I’ve said. Try to understand why I said it. Don’t bother ranting at me in a reply, I’m preemptively blocking you because I truly don’t believe you want to do anything but argue.

  Yeah, I’m trans and find this pretty indefensible. I’ve gotten slurs yelled at me, I’ve never started a physical fight over it and certainly never fucking stabbed someone 14 times to death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, just tell them to let you know, in private if they feel it necessary, if you make them uncomfortable. In general, jokes about people being trans/gendernonconforming are ok, as long as it’s not the one “joke” – identifying as an attack helicopter/dragon/ridiculous things. Pretty much just don’t make fun of them for being trans, but it’s fine finding humor about their transition, if it makes sense. It’s generally pretty easy to tell when someone has a problem with you being trans and is going to be a dick to you under the veil of humor, and when someone is joking around with you. Just make sure they know to let you know if you make them uncomfortable, and tey not to be a dick. The fact that you’re asking makes me think pretty much anything you’d consider saying is forgivable at worst.

  There is NO reason for hunts UX to as fucking terrible as it is. They literally took it from bad to straight up awful. Believe me, I know how hard to design and implement a good UI can be, I’m a software engineer.
