June (she/her) 🫐

THIS is what I mean when I say hexbear/chapo has the best takes on social issues

It's deeply ironic that employed and housed people are allowed to drink themselves silly during their time off, with many saying they are doing so because of having a "rough week", but people with much worse conditions are expected to be completely sober

I don't get why you think this is about gender identity. But, fighting for truth is fighting for trans rights.

As a trans woman I can tell you from first hand experience that that is testosterone's doing. If you also have hormonal acne (or have had it) then that is a sign of excessively high t levels and a doctor could prescribe a low dose of spironolactone to help clear that up, do with that what you will

I did, personally. The only reason I don't have a hexbear account is because I wanted access to a few defederated communities. Prior to that I had a blahaj.zone (am trans) account, but they disabled downvoting everywhere. Seeing that others didn't defederate from db0 is why I chose them. And because of the obvious correlation between piracy and anti-capitalism, which sadly hasn't held up.

At this point, I don't know where I am supposed to make my account to avoid these issues. Hexbear produces some of the best content, but so do major defederated instances. Granted, I was disgusted a few times with what people say outside of communities like this one, such as the museum in Australia banning men from an exhibit. Damn near any feminist should be intrigued and hear out their reasoning, and then supportive of the point of the art being the exclusion of men due to historic and still pervasive exclusion of women. But instead, it was MRAs dominating the discussion with "but if the genders were reversed!" garbage and "this is gender discrimination or the highest degree!" myopic garbage.

Lemmy needs a way to transfer accounts, yesterday. This is already my third account, after lemmy.world and blahaj.zone.

I know the main suggestion on HexBear will be to make an account here. But are there any alternatives with good admins and minimal defederation?

No, that is normal. Hemispacial neglect patients have great difficulty with considering both the left and right half of an object, so they will often draw clocks wonky trying to fit all or most the numbers on the right side of the clock. Coordinating where you place the numbers (as you described it) is the normal behavior. You do not have hemispacial neglect and confusing two numbers isn't an indication of it.

Other examples include transcribing only the right half of sentences when asked to transcribe text, and drawing objects other than clocks failing to consider details on the left side, like a house but with an open/incomplete side on the left, or a flower with only petals to the right side.

People just tend to remember the clock thing because it's interesting, but they misattribute it as a more general sign of brain damage and not a very specific sign of very specific brain damage

I was making fun of them for bringing up something totally random (hemispacial neglect) for someone who simply mixed up two similar numbers. You don't show any signs of brain damage, at least not here.

Confusing 2022 for 2020? Probably hemispacial neglect 👍

Maybe this is the goal, but seeing your username + pfp is genuinely a jump scare to me

I was going to tell you that most Neanderthal remains are found with signs of injury which would be evidence against that, but it looks like that is just a myth. That said, it seems the frequency of injuries among Neanderthal and their contemporaneous Homo Sapiens peers was about even, which does work as evidence against the idea they were super peaceful unless they were significantly more clumsy hunters.

Mozilla VPN

It's IIRC Proton VPN, same cost, but it helps fund Mozilla

Doesn't support Firefox as a search provider for the sub-dock search bar, so DOA for me

And I would rather the other way.

I'm not saying remove markdown or any of its features, I'm saying use the number provided for ordered lists. This avoids user error and makes for a more predictable user experience. I'm aware of escape characters.

Oh yeah I get that. I had an argument with several reddit admins back when the redesign was first happening about respecting the actual number used rather than starting from 1 and I still, to this day, don't see why this is better in any way. People will ask questions and it will screw up the answer, people will quote from an ordered list and it will screw up the quote, and so on. The only benefit that they could tell me was that if someone was writing their comment and added a new step/list item they don't have to shift the numbers manually, but I don't see how that is worth all the misquotes and issues it causes. Sad to see Lemmy does the same thing, but maybe it can still be fixed.

Oh God, Lemmy does that too? (Turn your quoted 5 into a 1)
