I used them during covid, not specifically to avoid the virus (because I know it just passes the risk along), but because I was in the beginning of my transition in an unfriendly state so did not want to undo all of my work to boymode and at the time I was more financially stable so I could afford it. Always tipped well too.

For the average situation it doesn't make alot of sense.

Also Capitalism trying to shoehorn AI into every product possible. Why does my work software need an AI built in? It won't help us employees or the company, what would help is to fuck off with the 'do more with less' and pay us more. But no, someone somewhere got paid to add a worthless implementation of AI to our software.

Gin, if you can't handle straight gin then a gin and tonic. I feel like it'd be the right headspace drink for flying. Clean and proper.

Dropping the first в helps alot. Because trying to 'v' right before going into a 'st' was tongue tieing me really bad

Thanks! I'll probably start looking for some films, there's one I already intended to watch (but not sure if the pacing would be conducive to learning).

I do have a small collection of Russian music which is slow enough for me to kind of learn, even if pronunciations are stretched a bit.

That makes sense. I've been meaning to add phonetics to my flash cards to assist with longer words, здравствуйте has been the hardest to pronounce so far but защищающаяся seems alot worse. I'll definitely start trying to pronounce it today though.

And being able to get at least an idea of what people are discussing online is really fun. On YouTube I'll sometimes use random Russian comments as flash cards if they're short enough.

Thank you!

Raised with a very politically charged father, I just mimicked his beliefs, not understanding anything other than democrats bad. Once I reached my early teenage years I started to consider myself a classic libertarian because queer people should be allowed to live their lives and we should be allowed to smoke weed, but 'the government' shouldn't bother people.

Fast forward to moving out with my at the time partner and immediately hit with rent, work, bills, etc while not making much. I started questioning there and as the effects of the 'real world' started crunching down harder and harder I was sure that 'people' can't be trusted to not abuse others so might as well do something about it. Then Bernie Sanders started his campaign and I got sucked right in to being a demsoc.

Few years pass, still jaded from the DNC's actions in the 2016 elections, people are starting ironically/unironically joke about communism. And at this point I had been considering myself as a 'socialist' so it really didn't carry the scary vibes that alot of American conservatives and liberals accossiate it with. So I started looking into Marxism, reading about events, listening to reading podcasts such as Marx Madness, finally realizing that its not 'people' that was the problem before (see paragraph 2) but that it was Capitalism. And well.. A few years later I'm here on Lemmy.

Transmission has been my goto torrenting program since uTorrent went to shit years and years ago.

It’s dead simple, no extra frills, runs on pretty much anything, and has a web server interface that you can bind to so whenever I click a magnet link it’ll start downloading to my home server.

1. AES means Actually Existing Socialism.
2. If having to buy a phone from any sort of corporate entity, they may prefer a Chinese owned entity because of reason 1.
3. I agree with that, and will provide more options than with a plain Linux phone.

I’d imagine because when a helicopter is going down is absolutely not the time to jump. Depending on how it goes down, you’re at risk of both rotors or just getting hit by the helicopter itself.

A little late but had a good Mother’s Day; got messages from my siblings and parents, Dad apologized for last year (father’s fay instead of mother’s), went for a walk around town. Also got my HRT refill.

In other news, still no update regarding SRS.. 😣

Cringy theming and allegedly less system use (but it’s Chromium so kind of a losing battle). God I hate gamer shit.
