"removing my adhd diagnosis was a relief (because of ablest policies that discriminate against a significant proportion of the population)" is the new "I'm happier after detransitioning (despite my ongoing dysphoria, because I'm not being actively transphobically abused every day by my society)"

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant

if you want to see normally sclerotic do-nothing local governments suddenly snap into action, do some quietly beneficial tactical urbanism type thing like this and watch how quickly they race to remove it

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

This is the last bipartisan consensus in America; basically everybody agrees that if you murder someone with your car it should be legal.

this guy (doomloop dispatch) literally killed a biker with his car… and he’s posting on twitter how it just made him even more anti-bike lane. The NIMBYs are not OK.

case in point everyone who mentions their politics in their bio is an absolutely atrocious poster with nothing interesting to say. you got hooked on feeling important by having opinions beamed into your brain and you forgot how to be a person

atp if you fall for reading the news thats about as intellectually deadended as being hooked on fb slop memes

Tbh I'm just going to end up being written up as a long-walk aficionado and a podcast addict.

If I die in anyway that makes news, please don’t write about me like this.

i guess it makes sense people are so resistant to having agency over themselves considering that anglo culture, familial upbringing, and pedagogy is centered around control, exclusion, narcissist rage. you can't, you won't, that's not allowed, how dare you

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

I’ve had straight men essentially say I’m overreacting for talking about rising internet censorship under the guise of protecting children, which is how I know it’s probably going to be an even bigger problem than I thought

I feel like the ents in Lord of the Rings are a real type of guy despite them being trees. A group of guys being trees together and looking for wives is objectively a type of guy.

This is like learning about how Samuel Beckett used to drive Andre the Giant to school when he was a kid

Amazing. At age 20, Lionel Messi did a UNICEF Barcelona photo shoot for a calendar, of him giving a baby a bath. That baby was Lamine Yamal. It’s his first World Cup, and Messi’s last. They’ll play against each other. What a crazy story.

I have difficulty buying this as a thing that actually happened unless the environment was grossly lacking in enrichment activities.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

It's bizarre how repeatedly people keep hijacking the conversation about Accessibility away from things like closed captioning, colorblindness support, alt-text for screen-readers, etc, to "Games should be easier to play, books should be easier to read, and shows should be simple to understand"

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

The more I learn about nuclear technology, the more I feel that support for nuclear projects is an inherently racist position.

There's a cottage industry built around offering advice to young men for money, and and all of it is bad, what young men really need is to buy a cheap bicycle and bike tools so you can fix it and ride it 10-20 miles every day while listening to Moby Dick as an audiobook

stop saying big bean propaganda is a recession indicator. we have a proud tradition in this country of passively consuming agribusiness PR campaigning when it's for animal byproducts, we shouldn't give up our most sacred traditions just because legumes are getting in on the game
