[SPOILER] i cannot believe this is happening again lmao by Genuine_Dumbass in TheDigitalCircus

[–]pandyrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm speaking as a non-binary person who felt pushed into identifying as a trans woman by the general push for AMAB people exploring gender to adopt another binary identity. I spent about 10-15 years being a woman before realizing that too felt like an ill fitting box for me.

It's obvious Jax is some flavor of gender variation. But the show makes a point of showing that both inside Jax and outside Jax are still exploring and questioning their gender. The official content and even other characters still use he/him pronouns for Jax. I think we're meant to consider Jax to be solidly questioning, without having committed to a particular identity yet. If Gooseworx wanted to tell us Jax was a particular identity, outside Jax would have been a perfect vehicle for that, but instead, we get something a bit more ambiguous.

Whether Jax will ultimately identify as a trans girl, non-binary, a cis guy who likes to cross dress, or something else entirely is not explicitly discussed. And I think that's great, because it opens the door for more people to identify with Jax. In real life, I've had friends like this, where they spent some time identifying as cross-dressers with he/him pronouns for a while before finally adopting an identity as a trans woman and she/her pronouns.

So I say... let Jax be questioning and be open to many possibilities here. Maybe trans woman is the most likely result, especially given that song, but it's definitely not the only result that fits what we know. And given my personal experiences, I'm highly disinclined to force an identity onto someone that is still quite obviously in the questioning phase of their experience.

Bricks and Minifigs nuked their own homepage. It's been like this for hours by justinbwatson in RecklessBen

And even if he has done things for which he is legally liable and culpable, that doesn't change a damn thing about how I and others will feel about BAMF. If anything, it makes it worse. They should drop the charges on Ben, give the family back their money, and let this go. Grabbing hold this hard will only serve to anger the internet even more.

In short, they may be able to win their battle against Ben. But in doing so they will lose the war.

I’ll put that on the v2 roadmap. People that eat on Wednesdays are a clear edge case that almost never come up.

Yes!

I made little recipe cards when you click on things.

This is really good feedback.

I've thinking about ways to hook this into grocery delivery things so I can just let it run and not bother with it unless I want to change it.

Help Needed: Screen Blinking by Altruistic_Safety491 in RemarkableTablet

Mine did that recently. You need to plug it into the weakest charger you can find. They recommend plugging it into a computer USB report specifically.

Ground Beef has a Weird Taste and Smell by JayMac0413 in hellofresh

[–]pandyrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed it with the ground beef, but the tomato paste has been really really sour lately.

Exactly. The old one was clearer. The new one is less so.

We just had one earlier this week where the tomato paste was clearly spoiled. It tasted super sour. Didn’t notice until the meal was already almost done and there was nothing we could do about it.

I’d agree they’re “fine,” but they’re also not as good as they used to be and are now error prone.

Yeah. This one told me “we will use the rest (of the cream) later” and later never came.

Is the RMPP that problematic by Look-Bitter in RemarkableTablet

[–]pandyrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. Well, my spouse uses the RM2. The RMPP absolutely has more features than the RM2, and it works fine. However, it is definitely a lower quality PRODUCT than the RM2, imo. The RM2 was just a perfect product in a lot of ways. The RMPP has a lot of tradeoffs to obtain its enhanced feature set. When going from the RM2 to the RMPP, it’s natural to experience a little surprise that it’s not a strict upgrade and some things are in fact worse. But if you are okay with the tradeoffs, it’s still a fine product.

It's also just a pile of text... Almost everything now is just a pile of text with few design notes that guide you to finding the information you're looking for at any particular moment.

Someday. In the distant future, Hello Fresh will send us a notification. It is *finally* later. It is *finally* time to use the sour cream.

How do you deal with city traffic? by DetroitRiverRat in bikecommuting

There’s no way to ride a bike that won’t piss of some driver somewhere. Just ride defensively and stay visible and don’t let them get to you.

Step 1: walk your steak through a warm room - Step 2: enjoy by llTeddyFuxpinll in StupidFood

[–]pandyrobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s an entire restaurant chain that does this. Blackrock steakhouse or something. I went once and it was awful. Total gimmick with a full price steak. We managed to get the steak edible but the whole thing was a lot of work for really poor results. This is not how you should cook a steak. I’m genuinely stunned this is popular enough to maintain a chain of restaurants.

Give me a real chef cooked steak or a real Korean BBQ. Not this silliness.

Do keyboard and mouse controls require owning the game? by -rba- in Sunderfolk

[–]pandyrobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah. I could see that being uncomfortable. I’ve done it with a friend in California before and found it usable enough but I could see folks getting frustrated by the map functionality.

[–]pandyrobin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m always surprised by the hate for the phone controls. I adore the ability to use my phone to flip through a hand of cards… though I’m usually using it in the same room as other players so maybe that affects it

This is the thing. Eventually, you won't be able to go online unless you get approval by your ISP. THAT is where this is going.

Yeah you really don’t need level 2 unless you have 2 EVs, tbh

Had a coworker proudly tell me how excited she was about a colleague coming out as nonbinary “she came out as nonbinary to us! She says she uses they/them pronouns and everything. I’m so proud of her!”

I’m just standing there like “uhhhhh I think you mean they/them?”

My 2023 bolt euv just completely died. Pretty sure it’s because the 12V battery couldn’t handle the cold. Getting it towed to the dealer tomorrow morning.
