@ohtazer I go fishing with my friends in their 60s! We don’t need to share pop culture to get along, but even still it makes assumptions that our social and emotional existence revolve around a standard school -> career -> family -> retirement timeline on an exact age scale

[niki c @inventednight]

@ohtazer I commonly see “what could a 20 y/o and a 30 y/o possibly share in common!” does it matter? shouldn’t we have friends who differ in current life circumstance from us?

[niki c @inventednight]

@thechosenberg It almost certainly entails an answer that includes stuff that would be inappropriate to ask about, such as protected categories like family stuff that employers discriminate against.

@communoah @testocerrone Was I less trans masc putting on makeup every day before I was able to start T but knew I was trans masc? Maybe cis people also have a lot of gender going on I guess

C is absolutely a roguelike. Every time you start a new C project, you’re starting from scratch, with just the skills in your head, no mechanical progression to speak of.

And like with roguelikes, it’s adherents will tell you this is good actually

@thingskatedid the irony of discussing cops this way in reference to their response to someone who decided not to be complicit anymore. it’s much easier than what that guy did!

@Setzer7777 @evan_sruthan @clairezagorski yeah, I was thinking that too! I think ppl with, say, fibromyalgia, shouldn’t be excluded from tattoos broadly, but especially if it’s a cultural tradition, and especially considering some of the techniques used for traditional tattoos.

[niki c @inventednight]

@evan_sruthan @clairezagorski There’s also a wide range of nerve and pain conditions that people come with. It’s an accommodation and ppl with those medical backgrounds/disability have extra reasons to feel empowered by decorating their bodies. Maybe they wanna decorate or commemorate a difficult surgery!

@thingskatedid I think “leftist” here sounds like centered on modern identity politics - I’d also guess that it could similarly mean “explicitly centers leftist economic concerns”, which may seem intrinsic to communal living but doesn’t have to be
