Yes, and you get your official golden DARE card!
For real though, prom can be an exclusionary, torturous experience, especially for kids who aren’t cisgender, heterosexual, white, neurotypical, able-bodied, or financially comfortable. In very conservative areas, the rules around who can attend often include stipulations that dates must be opposite genders, and the dress code requires assigned-gender conformation. It’s not unusual for prom to be held at a country club or other establishment with an exclusionary, bigoted past.
Anti-Prom is an effort to make something fun for the kids that those proms leave behind.
I did not understand orgasms or realize I wasn’t having them with my partners until I finally did have one. 😂 I genuinely didn’t understand that it could feel that good until it did.
Another win for abstinence-based sex ed in rural America!
That is hilarious!
lol no it can’t
It’s really, really, really going to suck to lose that resource when troubleshooting weird hardware and software issues, but that seems inevitable at this point. He really seems to be trying to figure out the stupidest way to kill the utility of the site in the name of profit.
this is my cue to show them the million task lists and corresponding calendar appointments with 87 notifications each
You did a truly excellent job of answering the question thoroughly! Thanks for putting in so much effort, I bet this will be really helpful. ❤️
Idk anything about Linux forums, but as far as forums in general:
Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble
This is legitimately my husband’s favorite thing to do. He’s not into Linux, he’s into garden tractors and mowers, but he loves the enthusiast forums and Facebook groups he’s in and is very active.
Generally, he loves helping people who want to learn, and specifically, he is nuts about helping people learn to care for their machines and save them from the junkyard. He will spend hours on the phone and days over email helping people troubleshoot things, purely for the joy of helping.
And when he’s not helping somebody, he’s talking to other tractor nerds about how cool their tractors are and how best to take care of them! 😂🥰
So yes, there are people who like to hang around to give help, some people just really, really, really love to help.
feeling simultaneously incredibly seen and incredibly called out
how dare you
There was a minor map glitch in my neighborhood that kept directing people to my house instead of my friend’s house half a mile down the road, and it took me actual weeks of effort (persistent back and forth with them, repeatedly sending map screenshots and data from the county auditor, refusing to let my case get closed, etc) to get it corrected, which I had assumed was because it was a relatively small thing affecting a couple dozen people a year.
People fruitlessly asking them to fix a bridge out notice for 10 fucking years is horrifying.
Me too, this is one of the main things that stuck with me. Honestly, idk how to think of myself except in relation to my service to community, it has really shaped my entire experience of the world.
This is legitimately my 40s so far
except my thought bubble is full of cool mutual aid shit and cute puppers instead of sandwiches, which is just as tasty imho
It’s not unreasonable or excessive to respond violently to oppression.

Wait - fuck - was it 35 or 45 minutes?
how could you use this information to benefit yourself or others
I would try to communicate the feel of things - either “this doesn’t feel right” or “oh shit, I think this is what we should do!” but idk how to do it better because the information from dreams is always so misty - what’s a silly amalgamation of experiences you’ve had, and what’s an actual analysis of things that might happen?
how do you convince others that the things your are seeing are really happening without being labeled insane?
I genuinely don’t know about this, because this is a problem I have in my real waking life: patterns and weirdness adding up to problems that cause me an itch that I usually can’t express until it’s an issue for everyone else, too, and then it’s usually too late.
Take a peek into the multiverse to see how other versions of yourself have solved these problems…
I think this is the best use of psychedelics - they help you see solutions that are outside your usual, obvious worldview.
it’s giving “disgruntled teen”
I swear I’ve gotten this exact same look when asking mine to please take out the trash
I love Lemmy! I’ve got accounts across several instances, and I have totally replaced my reddit scrolling with Lemmy.
did you know that in addition to continuing hobbies and pastimes they did as a young person, sometimes old people fuck??
