Could you go into a bit more detail about what specifically doesn’t work? I want to take notes and see what I can do to make it better.

Haha, yes years. As in it started as a micro-story assignment in college. It sat on my google drive for 4 years so I decided to flesh it out. It’s not necessarily something I normally like to write. But for some reason I just can’t stop nudging it, come back to it to edit or add/remove every so often. It’s not a constant 4 years of working on one small short story! That’s nuts lol.

Yeah that would complicate things. Can’t exactly trust kids with secrets. Maybe you don’t have a partner right now but at least you have us here to cheer you up!

Things will eventually get better. It’s cheesy and not always the case for everyone, but it can.

Now if you’re worried about this in the future, start trying to become as self-sufficient as you can. Save up your money and really start learning some skills. Maybe gardening or wood working (or something that actually interests you.)

Definitely learn cooking and laundry if you haven’t already. Sewing is good, too. Even if you only know how to sew buttons back on!

It’s so good, and I really enjoy the improvements like you said. I just got to the 3rd stratum and I’m loving it. Can’t wait to dive into the next two.

It’s always a huge adjustment when coming out to very close loved ones. I mean, even if you don’t exactly consider yourself close to them there is still that unspoken bond you have. And it is incredibly intimidating to think “how will they react? What are they going to think of me? Treat me?”

If you’re not sure about it but trust your siblings, you can try asking them how they feel your parents might react.

Speaking from experience… do not ever let someone force you to come out before you’re ready. Unless it’s 100% your choice to want to do this, ignore anyone who says otherwise. It’s your truth and your feelings. They have no business in it.

I was young, dumb, and fell for the “I don’t want us to be a secret any more” peer pressure. Regardless of your partners feelings, this is your battle to fight.

Just keep going. It’ll work itself out when the time is right. When we that may be.

“Bee-HAWWWWW! BEE-hawww” If you don’t click the link/open your app while imitating a donkey, then what are you even doing? <3

I’m one of those writers that has to really be in the mood to write or else it feels forced. So, to limit my distractions or case of “Ugh, okay I’ll just look for 5 more minutes…” which turns into a hour.

I found those really neat program called Ommwriter. Its literally just text. There’s no UI or anything. I think you can customize the background, but I haven’t felt the need to change anything.

I was doing the same and I would only see the few same posts with the occasional new one. After I switched the settings, now I am seeing so much more on Lemmy.

It is mentioned not to unselect the Undetermined option, but this post tells you to make sure BOTH Undetermined and English are selected. Otherwise, it seems to filter content out. I posted only because I noticed a boatload more appear in after doing this and refreshed. 😅

Hahaha, yeah it was just the way the cheese was shredded made it look like a pile of noodles on top at first! Definitely agree though, you gotta at least have the curds on there!

Agree too. I used to lurk on r/ffxiv so i hope things like that make their own thing on this platform too.

I’m glad we are 100% on the same wavelength on that, RiddleMeWhy.

Honestly, same here up in Canada; the expectation is “they” came to “us” and need to adjust to “our” ways. Scarcely do we take the time to put the effort into doing the same; whether that be in the form of actively trying to understand that culture, gender, or sexuality, etc.

The act of genuinely just acknowledging that there are other people in the room with different and valid viewpoints that, like or unlike, your own do in fact exist! Especially to try to consciously do this before you type your response, and be kind, speaks volumes to the room. It goes unspoken, though, the effort it takes to be civil, even when something upsets you. It just takes a moment to be kind.

Did about 60 pulls. I saved up so long.

No Kazuha, but you can bet my Heizou (which I’ve had since nearly my first month playing) is now C4, and Yaoyao is now C2.

I’m white and I understood it as: “It’s unfortunate that we don’t have more diversity yet.” In no way was it meant to sound like “oh great, look at all of the white people.”

But what irks me is that whole “exclusion” of cis males thing. I’m being general here, but it seems more and more it happens under the guise of “creating safe spaces for people.” It spoils and demeans the entire social experience even if maybe we don’t see it from that perspective. I mean, I get it, not everyone is completely comfortable around others and sometimes there’s underlying issues/trauma there, understandably. People are, and can be, just gross.

On here, and this applies to everyone, it’s an open, shared space for ALL – not just “make a special space for me.” That’s the thing about equality…it needs to be equally divided to ensure we can have specific spaces for men, for women and for alllllllllllllllllllll of those who fit in between or don’t fit at all into these categories. It just astounds me how a group can be literally screaming to be noticed and loved, and yet there is so much hate a vitriol coming from that exact same group shot back when people take notice, reach out and try to do something about it.

Beehaw from what I have seen and experienced is indeed trying to proactive and advocate for all users, not just some.

All I’m saying is you can’t have it both ways – its either inclusive for everyone, or its not. Simple as. If you want a blinders on, customized, experience where there is absolutely no interaction with anyone outside of who/what you deem acceptable… check out Facebook or Twitter. Or even find a trans-run trans-only board/community.

Edit: punctuation

Well, to weigh in here…I don’t think I saw anywhere about the admins saying it’s not a topic up for discussion. I believe what they were saying is that in order to organize the communities in a way that is feasible for members (of Beehaw or other) to be able to see/find communities in a broader sense.

While I am not vegan or vegetarian…I can understand the frustration. It’s like trying to combine (for lack of a better example) arts. Lets say they combined a Sci-Fi and Fantasy board. While they may be radically different at their core, they can still fall under the broader category of writing or arts. Even though they may contrast or not even be completely related… its the broader sense of organizing them into categories that can easily be digested. I know it may be a stretch, but this is how I choose to interpret these actions. It’s not a snub or a malicious intent behind the restructuring, just some house cleaning.

Now, I can’t speak for the mods and admins… but… with boards like this, just as categories can be combined, they can also be separated. Who is to say that this may not happen in the future as Beehaw continues to grow. It’s never said that this was meant to be permanent, so far as I can see. Again, can’t speak for the mods or admins but they could also make it go under one title and two separate boards under one heading. Names can easily be modified.

I’m certain that if we talk to the admins/mods, respectfully, as they have been with us, it’ll make it easier to co-operate.

Just my 2 cents. :)

Maybe this is moot since they would just do the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)

I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc
