LainTrain , to ADHD memes in The Vitamin

That's fair, in the UK there's the opposite problem, getting a script for drugs that fix the issue is nigh-impossible, instead you get told to go attend CBT sessions for a broken arm

For me this was ADHD meds. I was always lacking, but ever since I self-prescribed darknet amphetamines I'm much happier. Therapy wasn't shit for me, I'm glad it helps others but I never had any trauma and I feel like it's too over-prescribed instead of drugs that fix the issue.

LainTrain , (edited ) to Technology in YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers

Good riddance, I can't wait until I'm free from the instant gratification of videos by fancy ad vessels being narcissistic on the internet. The move to video and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I already use sponsorblock, ublock and dearrow alongside Vanced patches, piped and newpipe on mobile. Quitting YT is the next step.

LainTrain , to Technology in Meta will train AI with data from European users

Did both insta and FB and got instantly accepted. What about Threads and WhatsApp?

LainTrain , to Technology in Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads

That's helpful, thanks, but how are they downloaded, via command line directly from the source?

LainTrain , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

I didn't say you were a troll, I said you came off as one, because if you ever wanted to know this and were open to learning it you would have googled it years ago.

No one gives a shit about what? Have an enemy? What enemy? What? Did you hit your head too hard or smth

LainTrain , to Technology in Europe sets benchmark for rest of the world with landmark AI laws

Anybody know what the rules are for stuff other than the predictive policing/banks etc. mentioned in the article?

You come off as a troll, but in case others are wondering:

She has, she's the loudest voice of the anti-trans movement. Here in the UK it led to the murder of a trans teenager (Brianna Ghey) and an attack on a literal toddler by teenagers over the fact the victim had a trans parent. But it's not just direct violence either but political violence also.

Thanks to JKR, not only is anti-trans bigotry now getting similar protections to religion in court (Forstater case) which rendered workplace protections against bigotry and harassment for trans people moot, but we are seeing mass rollbacks of trans rights gained in the past 20+ years such as (but not limited to): ban on puberty blockers for minors, bans of trans women from women's hospital wards, bans on discussing the existence of trans people in schools to children under 13, guidance to schools by the government suggesting trans children in unsafe home environments should be outed to their parents and a crackdown on DIY hormone suppliers etc.

In addition proposals include scrapping the 2010 Equality Act's protections on gender identity and/or the 2004 Gender Recognition Act (or making the latter meaningless), as well as bans or restrictions on medical transition for adults under 25 and suggestions in not only keeping legal but encouraging conversion therapy for trans people amongst many others.

This all against a backdrop of what already was a very hostile environment for trans people 8 years ago when all this started with the right-wing shift, which has now only gotten worse as systemic neglect led to institutional traps of inaccessibility in the UK trans healthcare system that has resulted in several high-profile deaths just in the past two years, all because trans voices have been institutionally silenced in the UK both in the media and government, neither major party or any major media outlet support trans rights etc.

From her direct harassment of trans people (e.g. India Willoughby) to her rhetoric projected to millions comparing trans women to rapists or more recently house burglars, her denial of the fact trans people were targets of the Nazi war crimes, her spreading of misinformation regarding trans healthcare (more recently - who invented it) normalising anti-trans hate to her significant capital backing of the TERF movement which has successfully captured the media and all major political parties in the UK and would be nowhere near as successful without her support - she may not be alone responsible, but she is very much complicit.

There was a moment when my generation of trans people may have been the last to be severely marginalized, in comparison now thanks to her and her pals influence people transitioning today have it much, much worse than those of us who did it 10 years ago.

So when trans people froth at the mouth about punching TERFs, you know why now.

As someone who knows many who are personally affected by this, I believe that If we lived in a world with anything resembling justice, JKR would be paying reparations for the rest of her life for the lives and youths she's complicit in ruining forever.

In the time it took to check your replies and reply back despite saying "bye" you probably could've just explained yourself if you had any reasonable explanation but alas I'm sure you have good reasons for dying on this hill us wokeratis just couldn't possibly fathom

LainTrain , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

Don't let the door hit you on the way out sweetie :3

LainTrain , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

Or is it politics when one has empathy for trans people?

By woke you mean "has basic empathy"

LainTrain , (edited ) to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in CDC warns of new mpox outbreak, urges vaccination

I'm always involved in kink scenes

Yeah I can see how that would skew your perception a bit...

Average people don't really get involved in "scenes" whether they're queer or not, in fact I'm not even sure exactly what that actually entails.

They're just people who happen to be queer, same as people who happen to be cis and/or straight, nothing else to it.

In my xp I've only ever dated one queer person who had like a fetish and it was light bondage, she def wasn't in any "scenes" and only had monogamous transbian relationships tho she was technically bi iirc.

LainTrain , to Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related in CDC warns of new mpox outbreak, urges vaccination

Yeah that's what I'm saying, maybe where you live just has a weird proportion of trans people who are fairly close-knit in comparison to other areas (like where I lived in both capital and smaller cities), especially because chances of bumping into another trans person IRL are next to nil because we are some <1% of the population, so perhaps it's some kinda bay area free love culture you got going on there that just isn't the experience of the average trans person. Godspeed in any case.
