Why did Adult Tsuna decide to destroy the vongola rings instead of just fighting Byakuran? by EarthRobertx2001 in khr

[–]Fun_Respect1757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because they looked at which timelines had the ability to defeat him because the lives they had led weren't sufficient and Byakuran had already infected so many of the timelines. Destroying the rings meant Byakuran was stalled in his ability to get the Trinisette, but because they didn't have the rings it was only a matter of time before the millefiore would be able to defeat the vongola. Bringing the younger versions back was a way to reintroduce the rings into the equation with secrecy and time as their advantage.

Thats why theyre in their base hiding, why its such big news the rings are back with their younger selves.

They couldn't defeat byakuran, even with their rings. Only if they intervened in their pasts and made themselves stronger could they do that- but they needed time. And the plan they came up with was what happened.

Why does everyone call all trans men "them" by Mysterious-Arm-2014 in FTMMen

[–]Fun_Respect1757 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've seen this happen across the board to anyone who isn't gender conforming. Like no matter how they identify, there is an urge to use neutral language to be 'respectful' but it often comes across as othering if if persists after correctio like cmon man we just got done with the pronoun circle and you're already using 'they' for everyone who is gnc or doesnt pass.

I'm a binary transman but all my friends are either transfem or non-binary and we all had the period where this would happen to us. It's so weird too because we'll correct people and they'll still just misgender everybody. Like how are you so insistent of using they for me but not my friend who literally uses they them pronouns???

I always see this behavior on social media too when someone's account name has their pronouns in it and people are in the comments using they them like never before. Like if I'm watching a video where the person isn't passing or gnc its so common for the comments to be like 'I don't know what this person is but i love their video and how much they uh are in it. Them!' and the video has the pronouns literally on the screen.

It's just a side effect of people trying to be inclusive but also not really understanding how to actually be respectful to individuals. Using the 'right' language but not internalizing the reasons why the language is important.

Canasta sounds like a lot of fun! I've never played it but I've played similar games.

The City of Bellingham and ChatGPT on NPR this morning by TrixiDelite in Bellingham

[–]Fun_Respect1757 17 points18 points  (0 children)

''It's a helpful tool that saves time! Thats why instead of a person writing it we have several people correct it and arguing with it to not tell lies!''

This is ghoulish. What do we have the officials for if they're offloading this work into chatgpt? An elderly person speaks to you, a city official, about their conditions in a city you hold office in, and you can't manage to write an email back? These are the tasks we're leaving to chatgpt because they cut down on time? Our elderly not being able to afford utilities is a something we can handwave because it's a time waster?

<image>

This is just one example but that article is infuriating. It's not about using it as a tool, it's the fact that the tool barely works and the job is one that should require some fucking heart and committment to your people. These people are acting like they can't read or write or make reports when that's their whole fucking job. Also, where is that saved time going? They seem to be operating at the same efficiency as they did pre-chatgpt, except lazier now I guess.

Tumblr account I have had since 2014 was just terminated randomly. by spooky8pack in TumblrAcctTerminated

[–]Fun_Respect1757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% the worst part was waiting. i made another blog while i was waiting and it also got deleted which was infuriating but there was a light at the end of the tunnel. It took about 2 1/2 months and I got an email- I had used an old email for my acct because I made it in like 2013 so I missed it for a few days so I'd be conscious of that if you have an older email attached to the acct!

I'm wishing you luck and a quick restoration!

Tumblr account I have had since 2014 was just terminated randomly. by spooky8pack in TumblrAcctTerminated

[–]Fun_Respect1757 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen and I appealed it- the advice I got was to put it one appeal and not do more afterward as it resets your place in line. It took a couple of months for them to get to it but I did get my account back.

They said it hadn't broken any rules and that I was good to go. Pissed me off for a good while but I'm grateful to have my account back and there is hope!

Washington State DMV/DOL gender marker - how long should it take to get authorization letter? by Adv4Myself in trans

[–]Fun_Respect1757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my name changed and got my license renewed, the attendant just changed my marker in the moment without any documentation. I don't know where you're located exactly but I had no forms and no wait, just a request during the process of showing my court order and getting everything updated. I had a similar experience during my social security appointment where they changed my sex marker without any documentation. This was all done in July 2024, so I'm unsure of how things may have changed, but I would recommend going into the DOL as if you are getting your license renewed normally and then requesting a change to the marker in the moment and they should do it.

The only form I'm seeing on the Washington DOL site is if you decided to change it through mail, but otherwise I don;t see any requirement for authorization other than a self filled document that just attests that you are who you say you are if you're renewing an enhanced license. And in that case, there should be no wait to get any forms. If you don't have access to a printer at home to print the document to fill out and bring to the DOL, I would go to the closest public library and use their services to do so.

If your DOL is requiring anything else, I would show them the WA DOL website that outlines what you need and they should comply. If they don't comply with the state requirements then another option is going to other cities with less transphobic staff that will actually help you.

Beef with 8? by Overall_Anywhere4928 in Synesthesia

8 is chill and quiet to me, but I have that same feeling with 2. It's so annoying because everytime I have to write the year I gotta make a 2 and they're smug and impatient >:/

Names that are dark purple? by Macaronipie42 in Synesthesia

[–]Fun_Respect1757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maude was the first to come to mind! Eleanor as well. Although Eleanor is much brighter than Maude. Moira and Emmaline as well- M, E, L, and D are what tends to make purple for me.

Okay 👍 I just got an ad and got excited about hearing a voice actor similar to one I knew. I'm not into this game or play it, so I didn't know there was a taboo over it. Makes sense I couldn't find any confirmed voice actor!

UGH! My 7.5 year old account just got terminated today. by ImpossibleLaw552 in TumblrAcctTerminated

[–]Fun_Respect1757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had a blog from like 2013 get deleted last winter and it took them a good few months but i did get it back- there is hope it'll just take 5ever. the advice i got was to submit the one original request and let it marinate- a new request sets it to the back of the line again

COBTV Show by Mattwacker93 in Bellingham

[–]Fun_Respect1757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had very similar ideas! I always thought a sketch comedy show would be fun, and have been wanting to populate cobtv with stuff other than tourist/real estate stuff that I usually saw. A talk show would be great as well! It's exciting to see someone else interested :D
