I had that happen to me once, or at least I’m pretty sure it was this. It was like I was standing behind my body, basically staring at the back of my own head, and through it. I obviously couldn’t actually see the back of my head, but I felt like that’s where I was positioned. Weird and awful feeling.
Wish it could’ve imploded on its own without threatening the lives of so many people.
I switched to Mint a few weeks ago. There was no particular reason at that time, just all the general discontent with Microsoft built up since they released Windows 8, but things like this make me glad I did. Also glad that I’ve mostly not had any issues with the switch. Proton and wine are amazing.
As an American, this is good slang. I hate it here.
I work retail in a state in New England. My experiences have been getting sirred (and occasionally ma’amed when I am turned away, which is better than nothing) by customers asking for directions all the time. Constantly, and not just by older folk. Maybe it’s a cognitive bias that I’m not recognizing, and my area is more like you described and I’ve just been unlucky, but I hate it so much either way.
I’m trans so it’s not just the kid photos for me, even ones from as recent as four years ago give me this feeling. While I’m not yet out or passing, so other people still see me as I was and not as I will be, when I look at old photos I have issues recognizing myself, I just see a stranger. Something about the tiny little changes in the face that HRT does I guess.
I was born in a red state that won’t let me change my birth certificate, even though I’ve lived in a blue state my entire life. I cried the day I made this realization. Then fuckface’s executive order happened. At least my drivers license will have the right letter, I guess.
That legislation really needed an extra factor to show how carcinogenic something is. That everything is carcinogenic is terribly unhelpful, but if we knew this thing was a very low risk carcinogen and that thing was very high risk, it might have actually been useful instead of the butt of a joke. The laziness of the politicians who penned it frustrates me every time people make posts like this.
And yes, the carcinogen is Nintendo.
I don’t think I even have the luxury of choosing. I think it will be decided for me, because I am a minority under an imminent regressive violent fascist regime.
I’m happy for you. I was born in a red state that doesn’t allow changing info on a birth certificate. I only lived there for 10 months as an infant, and in a blue state the rest of my life. So it will never be changed, the M will stare back at me and out me to the upcoming government if I ever need to use it.
I’m rushing to get my name legally changed so my updated passport can be correct. My current one has 5 more years, but so it’s all my amab info. I’m terrified of how little time is left.
Maybe you’ll survive, bunch of people will survive, but not a lot of the minorities the Republicans currently have in their crosshairs. Maybe you’ll find all the skeletons in the camps after however many years or decades it will take to defeat fascism.
We sure do… I’ve been on hrt for over a year now, at least, so there’s that.
Me too. Although I’m not out yet. I’m thinking I’ll need to scramble, now, to put in my name/passport changes before I potentially lose the chance. Of course, I don’t pass, don’t have the wardrobe, makeup or body to pass. I wanted to wait a little longer before coming out, lose weight, fix my shit, you know. Don’t have the money to do anything, change anything how I want.
I feel ill. I wish I could go back to sleep, but I’m too wound up on fear and trepidation.
An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don’t want to draw attention to their affair. It’s an awful thing.
Projection or wrong thread?
People say this every time it happens, and AAA game developers have been putting out unfinished broken crap for exorbitant prices for well over a decade, now. Don’t preorder after starfield, don’t preorder after cyberpunk, don’t preorder after fallout 76, don’t preorder after anthem, don’t preorder after…
Oh wait, there’s a new game coming out soon, I should preorder, can’t wait to play it!
I love these
