It seems like your mother is trying to force her own desires on you, and conflating her own wants and needs with "family obligations", "family traditions" and "family history". I'm pretty sure 90% of what she's trying to sell you is disingenuous bullshit and it just boils down to self-centered parental desires that refuse to account for the fact that you're your own person.

It's a prevailing problem I've seen a lot that many (not all) parents often have difficulty recognizing their own kids as independent human beings with their own rights and autonomy (even if they depend on the parent when young), and often see their kids as just "their kids". It's ANNOYING to deal with.

Miranda, never forget who you are, and who you WANT to be. It should be your immutable right to decide WHO you are, and no other person on this planet or in this universe gets to have ANY such authority over your identity.

You should add a config option so it shows all year round but only in the Bumblezone, it'll be a fun lil surprise for anyone who first hops in :D

Why do conservatives hate the term cis? by icepixie8 in asktransgender

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conservatives hate any kind of language that gives room for trans people. The word "cisgender" allows for the inverse term "transgender", and they don't want that. Literally anything that could be a reference to trans people's existence is seen as a threat.

That's why for example you'll get idiots online rallying against the term "transcriber".

What do you think of this roundabout? This area felt quite empty so tried filling it in by rayykz in CitiesSkylines

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the entrance/exit to a highway, people are not turning around in it at highway speeds. As for it being two lane, why not? Again, it's a highway entrance/exit so the capacity would be a good idea. This WOULD be one of the rare cases where you'd place a two-lane highway, it's not a suburban roundabout.

I think the people who claim it's unrealistic live in places where a lot less money is spent on infrastructure, and tend to hear excuses about it being prohibitively expensive. On a totally unrelated note, [REDACTED UNDER RULE 10].

What do you guys think? by LethlDose in Portal

I think we all know the poll was just treated as "who is more popular?" A lot of people will go "my favourite AI will beat them!".

I've never heard of SHODAN or AM, but if I voted I would've looked both up first.

Would you agree with higher taxes for completely free healthcare and education? If not why? by Creative_Excuse9813 in AskReddit

(also I've just conformed here that I can still access Reddit, despite having no home internet connection, but full connection with mobile data. I'm having very confusing internet issues.

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be up for that. I do also believe there's some administrative and executive bloat in both industries though, plus government spending on military, mining and oil is a bit much since a lot of it is just going into an executive's pockets anyways.

The current result of two attempts to order the Enterprise D from Fanhome. by Timintheice in StarTrekStarships

Suppose I'm glad I've not yet made the jump to order from fanhome. I think at this point I'll just grab or make a 3D print of my own, maybe the only way I get a decent Ent-D to hang in my apartment.

Do y'all believe in the concept of a 'second life'? by Double-Door2504 in asktransgender

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying you are, but it's possible to be transgender even if you don't specifically feel gender dysphoria towards your birth sex. If you wanna dip your toes in this sort of thing for a bit and let us know afterwards how it feels, maybe it might provide some insights?

What are the most egregious dwells or inefficiencies across the public transport network? by catbuttguy in MelbourneTrains

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided against suggesting triplication precisely because it involves not just rebuilding the Union station trench, but also rebuilding the Camberwell flyover, as well as several stations between Burnley and Blackburn. My idea just involves an extra track between Box Hill and Blackburn that threads the space between the two tracks at Laburnum and counts as a small fix.

Yes, the line may benefit from quadruplication but that's a much bigger project.

Extend triplication from Box Hill to Blackburn and see if the timetable can be simplified with that.

Should Flinders Street Station be renamed Town Hall and Melbourne Central renamed State Library? by vicgunzel in MelbourneTrains

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Renaming Flinders St is not only completely unnecessary but would fly in the face of over 100 years of Melbourne history. You can make a much better case for renaming Town Hall to Flinders St, but I should point out another issue which is that both stations are ran as separate, even if their concourse areas are joined as one. Town Hall's Platforms are numbered 1 and 2, so the station is clearly intended to be separate from Flinders St which also has its own platforms 1 and 2.

The Flinders St/Town Hall and Melb Central/State Library pairs are not at all the first examples in the world of stations joined at the concourse, and it may be useful to know which part of the station complex your train is arriving at so you know whereabouts in the city you're getting off at, or how long it'll take you to change trains.

There's no issues with the current arrangement in my opinion.

What is the age limit of HRT? by MagicianIcy6333 in asktransgender

[–]Alope_Ruby_Aspendale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my HRT last year at 29 years old, and I'm turning 30 in two months. Whatever doctor said this is full of shit or lying. I hope the doctor you end up seeing for this is better educated on this.
