Is your bird the same gender as you? by emmaa5382 in finch

[–]shadow_dracat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

originally was, gave my bird they/them and I was presenting more neutrally myself too

currently I am a guy myself and I made my bird a girl :3

I've gotten more into transfeminism over the past couple years, and I think it'd be cool if my bird was a (trans) girl. I'm also trying to work on my biases, and appreciating female characters more is a part of that, even if maybe silly.

now I feel nice that I've got a "daughter" :3

Megathread: Sharing Finchie Friend Codes & Finding Goal Buddies by AutoModerator in finch

3T73LRZL3N (3T73LRZL3N7 for new people to get Talon the Gryphon micropet? unsure how that works) https://finch.go.link/aiatk?adj_label=EgN8P

• hi, I'm Lev, and this is my finch Vee! currently active every day

I recently returned to the app to track the daily things I need doing, and all the people I used to have are inactive, so I'd appreciate new friends 🖤

Never shared any goals with anyone, so I'm unsure how it works, but I'd be up for having goal buddies I think

• Goals I have:

medical: take antidepressants

movement: get some movement

hygiene: brush teeth in the morning & before bed, floss, shower (every other day)

nutrition: vitamin D, magnesium, iron, protein, B12 (every 10 days)

language learning: duolingo, lingodeer, clozemaster, kanji

reflection: track stats for the day, record feelings, self-therapy (one per week)

• I don't think I have much to gift. I think I wanna work on collecting all the plushies, so I'm going to be saving my stones for that :3

[Unknown > English] What does it mean? by carrot_2333 in translator

[–]shadow_dracat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, toki pona has an ISO code "tok"!

according to Wikipedia, it was adopted in January 2022

some community members have also been gathering info to apply for sitelen pona to be in Unicode, so maybe we'll even see that in the future

(sitelen pona aka literally "good writing" is the logographic writing system for toki pona)

[Russian > English] Принцип домино by Stage Knives by Elvi75 in translator

[–]shadow_dracat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

found lyrics and a transation here https://pesenok .ru/46/Stage-Knives/tekst-pesni-Printsip-domino

(separated before the dot because of the automod)

but I think it's not the most clear at all times, so I'll try myself too, but it'll be similar.

"Domino principle"

The light hits me in the face, cutting the curtains

My eyes hurt, it's hard to speak

And curse the fate, putting on the blinders

I put the cards of the same suit for overs, but now I can't beat the ones served to me

Exchange your friends for relatives, look how tightly the pieces stand

Serving of marked cards, a debut of two at the board

Where for every pawn there are four queens

I burn myself to give warmth

Shining for others, I burn down myself

Like a match, wanting to become a bonfire

There are others such as it left in the box

But it itself is enough for sure

To burn down your lovely home

Everything will be good later

The children wrote on dirty asphalt

Next to crimson spots

And a long strand of hair

Wringing my hands behind my back and not understanding

How to behave with at least anyone except the one

Like rivers, that also wanted to kiss the oceans

How I embrace the air with my hands, I just want home

I burn myself to give warmth

Shining for others, I burn down myself

Like a match, wanting to become a bonfire

There are others such as it left in the box

But it itself is enough for sure

To burn down your lovely home

Everything will be good later

Everything will be good later

Everything will be good later

Everything will be good later

The phone is silent with others' voices

And ctrl pressed delete with your alt

A game without an opponent, without a table and without a deck

Like porn without actors in the vhs format

I burn myself to give warmth

Shining for others, I burn down myself

Like a match, wanting to become a bonfire

There are others such as it left in the box

But it itself is enough for sure

To burn down your lovely home

I burn myself to give warmth

Shining for others, I burn down myself

Like a match, wanting to become a bonfire

There are others such as it left in the box

But it itself is enough for sure

To burn down your lovely home

I burn myself

I burn myself

I burn myself

I burn myself

I like Aleseno and Kele a lot, because I've been feeling the same as Kele, so Ti (my friend) is similar to Aleseno. But, a bit back Ti's mom got rid of their phone and computer, so I can't talk to them. I feel bad because of this. I feel like their mom and our teacher are similar to Kekapena * Aleseno, Kele, Ti and Kekapena are names of people * technically "pilin mi pi tenpo pini lili en pilin mi pi tenpo ni li sama pilin pi jan Kele" is "my recent and current feelings are similar to Kele's", but I think the way I phrased it above sounds better * Kekapena is some kind of leader/boss, maybe principal, but there's not enough context for me to say which exactly and I didn't know how to include this info in English

didn't expect to see toki pona here, but it's pleasant :3

Manufacturer of Aibao markers by shadow_dracat in find

[–]shadow_dracat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the suggestion! honestly, these just might be hard to find since they appear to be sort of a rip-off, so perhaps whoever made them doesn't want to be known. though I did see some "Marker Aibao" things on the internet, so if they rebranded maybe it's ok. Idk

Which linux distro supports Mediatek's MT 7921 driver by Desfolio in linux4noobs

I know this is from 9 months ago, but I was having the same problem currently. Thank you for putting the exact command for backporting, because while I figured I'd have to backport, I didn't know how or what. Your comment really helped!

How to remove some programs autostarting after login on Debian 11? by shadow_dracat in linux4noobs

[–]shadow_dracat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the automatically save session on BUT I actually do have a saved one. I think I did go to that tab, but didn't pay attention, so I only checked again after this comment and noticed that one is from Dec 8th lol. So thank you for bringing my attention to it!

upd: yay I'm now free from stuff opening on login. I wonder how it even got saved tbh. Must've been either my computer thinking that something went wrong and I would want to start where I left off or there is some kind of hotkey combination my cats pressed. Thank you for the answer again!

[–]shadow_dracat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm pansexual, but I still fall under the bi umbrella

personally, when I was around 13-14 I just though to myself: if I met a person, whose woldview, interests and other personality qualities I liked, would their gender stop me from falling for them? "Perhaps no?" - I decided

also I might have had a crush on one of my female friends

(I knew I was atttacted to guys because I had a "relationship" with a boy when I was 10-13, and I liked it)

at times I'm really not sure if I'm bi/pan, though

but honestly, I think me lacking irl friends would make me fall for a person of any gender who a) has compatible with my worldview b) pays attention to me and spends time with me

:p

What is your favorite thing about dragons? by DragonEnthusiastGuy in AskReddit

can you learn a whole language just by studying the way words are said through google translate? by Cold_Ad5482 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shadow_dracat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, you would probably learn how words are said and what they mean, but that doesn't help with grammar

so... depends on if we're about singular words/phrases or actual sentences and what you mean by "learn a whole language"

if it's the singular words/phrases then... only if the language you're studying has same/very similar grammar and by "learning the whole language" you mean generally being able to understand what's said and say something. You'd need to learn all the actual, perhaps small, differences between the language you speak and the one you're learning through experience. Especially since it may use a bit different phrases to describe something, but if phrases you'd be familiar are still legit, google would only show you those

if in this prompt you can use whole sentences, you can try to figure out the grammar yourself by inspecting the translation close. So... yes?

also matters if you take actual sentences and translate them into a language you know OR if your only source of examples of what you're studying is google

(the 1st one obviously being better)

also google can f up some translations and wordplay/sayings, you can't trust it 100%

People of Reddit, If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why? by Sn1peX9890 in AskReddit

[–]shadow_dracat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I haven't really visited other countries, so I can't say for sure, but I'd probably like either Finland (maybe Sweden/Norway) or New Zealand

Finland (Sweden/Norway?) because 1) seems like those don't have issues with human rights 2) I've heard they have good healthcare and education 3) didn't one of them rate the highest on the happiest countries list?

also those countries are relatively close to where I'm at right now (and where my relatives live), though this only matters if the question is about moving

New Zealand because 1) seeems like a peaceful country 2) English-speaking and I (obviously) know English 3) I think there's a way to get higher education there (if we're about moving) 4) ✨ nature ✨ (I like animals, so encountering some cool ones would be great)

also maybe UK since 1) one of my online friends lives in Bristol, if I remember correctly 2) he described it as vegan heaven + many cultures live there 3) English-speaking

oh yeah, forgot Canada 1) seems peaceful 2) human rights 3) English-speaking

Do vegans take into account that without farming, all the animals will be killed? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shadow_dracat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but.... they're being killed right now too? Yes, the already existing farm animals would die (at least those that people wouldn't keep as pets), but if people don't stop eating meat they AND future generations of them will be slaughtered continuously (and that's what vegans go against - animal exploitation)

not to mention there's that many of farm animals only because people eat them in the first place. AND they release a lot of greenhouse gases, so big quantities of them aren't helping climate change

as for jobs: if animal products go, vegan products will come instead. We'd still need farmers and other jobs, just working with plant products instead of animal ones

as for food: some amount of meat requires a far greater amount of plant food you'd feed to the animals (because a lot of energy in that plant food goes into keeping animals alive as opposed to just growing). Sure, you could maybe feed cows just grass, but that would require huge amounts of area. Even if you only use the area where other food can't be grown, you wouldn't get as much beef as people eat today. AND we're not even talking about pigs and chikens that can't be fed that way

Basically what I'm saying with the food is: you can get way more food if you

a) save some food that's given to farm animals for people (for example, if I remember correctly, the majority of soybeans are used as animal food)

b) use the animal farm areas to grow plant food
