One of my absolute favourite games. I love the elegance of the rules and the feel of the whole game

Interesting. I feel like that might be less of an issue for the microblog fediverse though? It doesn't have the same problem with content generation

Ok, I've changed the instance setting.

It was never really about kids accessing porn though, so they don't really care about stuff like this.

It's about being perceived to be doing something about kids accessing porn, and setting up a system that makes the internet easier for government to control and gatekeep

It helped me immensely, because the traditional style of language learning was frustrating and ineffective for me.

This way hasn't been super fast, but it's fun, not frustrating, and has given me really good pronunciation. It "fits" my learning style well.

That's an instance setting. I can change it if you like

Can I get an invite to that space please

With the way I'm approaching learning, I never really learn words in isolation. I get exposed to new words as they are used in natural conversational language, which means I'm only exposed to the word with the gendered article that belongs to it, so I haven't had to try and explicitly remember which word is gendered which way.

I'm learning Spanish, and there is a huge amount of natural comprehension content for Spanish out there. And once I got to a certain point, I was able to move on to (simple) native speaker content. Mostly TV and movies, with Spanish subtitles where possible

For what it's worth, it happens to me as well, but when it does, it occurs on both monitors at the same time. One a 4k 244Hz OLED monitor, the other an older QHD. I put it down to a Plasma bug

I just learn them as part of the word itself. I'm learning via natural comprehension, so it just gives me a "feeling" when it's not right.

Thank you for the birthday gifts of bird photos :)

Very similar to the bike I use!

There are many reasons to be frightened. It just doesn't help to add fictional stories (or at best secondhand anecdotes) to that.

This is what I mean. You are so sure it's a lie, something that you don't know for sure either, to the extent that you're willing to actively encourage gender diverse people to throw caution to the wind and put their complete faith in a system that was actively working against their interests even before the new president was elected.

Caution is warranted. A bunch of non regular posters to this community seeing this post and deciding to tell trans people that it's all ok, and that they should continue to trust the system, that their caution is unwarranted? If you don't see how being part of that chorus is a problem, then I don't know what to tell you...

No one knows the truth here. I don't know whether it happened or not.

But what I do know is that a bunch of people who are not normally in this space suddenly joining in the conversation to tell trans people that they're being unreasonable for worrying about stuff like this is not on. One or two comments, whatever, but when the majority of comments are non regulars telling trans people the world is ok, despite it clearly not being, it's time to step in.

I've already put a couple of mods on, so its in their hands now :)

A nazi sympathising president was voted in, because the overton window has shifted sufficiently to the right to allow that to happen.

The US has a nazi sympathising president, backed by a billionaire who gives nazi salutes in public. So I don't agree that saying the US is to the right of most of the world is incorrect.

In small, guided groups, yes

I'm hoping to see one when I'm in New Zealand next month!
