HardlightCereal got banned from Raddle for doxing someone. The site’s primary admin quite literally uses they pronouns. That doesn’t preclude enbypobia in itself but should at least make you question what HardlightCereal’s actual goal is without more evidence.

Not quite. If you are in so deep that you are worried about color you already past the executive order that defines the layout of the flag as you know it.

If you notice all the flags in the video has a singular blue area. This one has two. Whether that is valid or not dependa on how you interpret “union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field”.

If you think that means the blue area must be contiguous then this flag does not meet the definition. If you think the blue area does not need to be contiguous then this flag may meet the definition.

So I had a conversation on this in a different community. I’m going to summarize my conclusion here.

Sadly the flag code defines the flag as having a singular blue fied.

I tried to get a good definition of what exactly a field is. Here we have the definition “The backdrop color to a flag. Ex: On the Arkansas state flag, it is the red part.”

I’m not actually finding a better definition and am starting to question if the canton in the US flag counts as a field in vexillology terms since it isn’t a ‘backdrop’.

A better way, and perhaps the more accurate, is to ask how we would construct a flag. The red field in the Arkansas flag is one piece of fabric. The blue canton is one piece of fabric. Two blue stripes could be once piece of fabric with everything else sewn into of it. But I think the better construction would be two pieces of fabric sewn on to the outer two stripes.

But I wouldn’t worry about it since section 5 codifies “existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag of the United States” by using an existing executive order. That order’s attachment basically defines the flag as you know it.

Of course none of this is actually has a mechanism of enforcement so you can fly just about anything and just call it the American flag.

Citizens United at least had some hand wavy group rights derived from each individual’s rights going for it.

This is basically buy your way to vote in any local election.

<s>Because as a business owner you have exactly as much say in a locality’s government as someone who actually lives there. Or even more of they don’t fix the “each LLC gets a vote not the owner loophole”.<\s>

In other towns where this is allowed, a representative of the entity, not the actual owner, was able to cast the ballot for the company after signing the necessary affidavit. Delaware allows for the owner of the LLC’s identity to not be public.

Yep no way this doesn’t-

In a Newark referendum election in 2019, a property manager was able to vote 31 times because he was in control of 31 LLCs, which owned 31 parcels of land. The city then changed its regulations after this became public.

Ah it already did cause problems.

Why in the world would you put business on the same legal basis of actual citizens?

Paywalled

New ERA just dropped boys.

Also I broke my foot stepping on it.

It’s really location dependent. Some places you’ll see the birds in seconds and others never. You’ll need to know the climate, local weather, soil conditions, what else is growing in the area, time of year, etc. to get an accurate answer.

Ah the classic “I’m trans better tell everyone. Wait maybe I’m not. Nope definitely I am better tell everyone again.”

“I refuse (voiceover) work that states they’ll take my voice and make an AI model from it,” voice actor Brad Ziffer told CNBC. “The best way to protect myself is to just stay away.”

As you should. There is a big difference between narrating and giving away personality rights.

But the article kind of negates the title.

However, experts say seamlessly replicating the way a human talks with AI is still a ways away. Human beings offer unique intonation, cadence, and emotion when they speak.

Voice artist narration for big title releases isn’t going away anytime soon. And if it does the job is going to be replaced with technical/artistic jobs fine tuning the generated narration.

What I actually see happening in the short term is it becoming profitable to do generative narration of smaller authors and books that would be profitable using traditional voice work.

In time I could see this working it’s way up the budget ladder into larger projects but that’s still a way off.

I think it’s next to impossible to write a guide on how to transition. It’s so multidimensional and personalized that any guide saying do x, y and z is going to be wrong for someone. But maybe something very, very general can be written.

You’ve actually been at this longer than me so maybe you have a better idea of what transition is to you but I split mine into three broad categories; mental, social and medical.

Mental transition is working on how you view yourself and how you fit into the world. For me it mainly involves reflection on what exactly do I want, how do I get it, and why haven’t I. Usually unpacking internalized transphobia for me but also involves integrateing ‘girl me’ me into my view of myself. Slots in with medical transition in that you may want to talk to a therapist to assist you with it and helps you decide if and how you want to medically transition. Fits in with social transition in it is how you decide to transition and overcome inhibitions to transition. Maybe the hardest easy thing to do.

Social transition is changing how you interact with the people and the world around you. Probably the first thing most people think of when they say transition. Covers a huge range of things like how you groom yourself, clothes, pronouns, voice training and many many more. How, when and why someone does one thing or another is going to be very personal and specific to them.

Medical transition is basically anything you need a doctor to help you with. I include feminizing HRT here even though you could technically do it by yourself in a lot of jurisdictions. I would also include any mental health consoling here. My advice here is to basically get in line the second you have an inkling that you are going want or need help from the medical community. The wait times for it can be months or years depending on location. If when you get to the front of the line and decide you don’t want anything you can always decline and they’ll go to the next person.

I don’t fly often but it may be getting better. 🤷‍♀️

Beginning in May 2022, TSA is also updating its screening procedures to better serve transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming travelers through less invasive screening procedures for passengers who trigger the AIT scanner in a sensitive area. This change will reduce the number of pat downs for TSOs and the travelling public without compromising security, and will be in effect until the gender-neutral AIT screening technology is deployed.

So at least they know at an organizational level they have an issue.

Of course my view is they are a useless organization overall and locked cockpit doors do 99% of their jobs.

Finding the docs for the API end points is a pain in the ass. Best I found is this but it seems to be version 1 of the API.

Looking at the communities/list end point I the request can have the following arguments.

{ op: "ListCommunities", data: { sort: String, page: Option<i64>, limit: Option<i64>, auth: Option<String> } } Looks like there are multiple pages you probably only got page 1.

Good links. There are more nonmeme communities that are in a better position to answer questions or offer more personalized recommendations that can be linked to as well.

Such as:

I’m sure there are more out there, a lot of community formation is happening right now. I specifically don’t know the tranasc communities But they should be added too.

Two classic sources:

• Steal them from others

• My own anxieties

I consider myself NB transfem. I prefer transfem because, to me at least, it invokes a feeling of movement towards feminity as opposed to into feminity.

For a community name I’m honestly not sure which one would be better. I think discoverability and inclusivity should be the deciding factors. MtF has the lineage from past communities and transfem is more inclusive.

Somewhat agree

Same here. I can either dwell on how much time I feel I lost or accept that the journey made me who I am today.
