iamhazel,

I understand their GitHub comment is a little confusing, but interpreting it as telling you to grow up is... telling.

Do new threads created on Kbin get propagated to Lemmy instances? Or is only the reverse true?

iamhazel,

I'm reading your post from Lemmy of that's what you mean.

iamhazel,

Thanks for sharing! I like it so far, though I logged in but it was still saying I need to login before upvoting and commenting

What is something good happening in your city/town/local area?

My city redesign our downtown roads to have a whole bunch of horrible one ways in the 50s, and we are FINALLY changing back to how it was while making improvements like bike lanes. The first attempt at bike lanes with the current layout was horrible, basically death traps everywhere... Hoping for something better this time, lol....

iamhazel,

That sounds awesome..!

Mixed feelings about giving money to houseless people

So, to get this out of the way, I'm a cisgender white man from a well-off family in a fairly affluent town. I'm making this post because I want to hear perspectives from those who are different from and likely significantly more knowledgeable than me. (Literally as I was writing this post, I came to the epiphany that I should...

iamhazel,

I have a pretty similar background except I'm a trans woman and for the past decade I've lived and schooled and worked in a downtown area - about 80k population in the city.

My instinct used to be they will use it for drugs or are a grifter, many years ago. My current position is, if I have the money to spare then I should help with absolute disregard for my old thought patterns. If there is a chance this human won't be able to eat today, and I have a chance to help, then I will try, though I almost never have cash. I will offer to buy them a meal if near a restaurant.

Today my roommate and I were coming home from urgent care and they keep a package of bottled water in the car, and we had picked up food, so we offered a burger and two bottles of water and the person was grateful.

I am autistic and fwiw my therapist's take is that especially in big cities they are basically all grifters playing the tourists and to ignore them. I don't know what I think about that, but he would know a lot more than me.

Edit to add: I could not care less anymore what they use the money for. If there was a comprehensive functional model for helping people get off the street who want off, I'd feel differently, but then this would be an entirely different convo.

iamhazel,

Let me ask you, how do you feel when someone asks and you say no / apologize / walk by?

I feel like a shit human. I still do it at times out of discomfort and internalized biases I still struggle with, but it never feels right or good.

A little over a year ago I transitioned to working in a gov-funded mental health and substance abuse integrated serbice provider (it's a mouthful), we have four various buildings around the city. Of course we take all sorts of trainings on bias, trauma, social determinants of health, and homelessness is a big problem in our city so we talk about that a lot. That definitely played a part in deconstructing my past ideas.

I was homeschooled until college with my eight siblings because public schools bad and religious indoctrination good. As soon as I started experiencing the actual, real world, I had to deconstruct EVERYTHING, and a decade later I'm still reconstructing. This all played a HUGE part in my beliefs before and after. I grew up watching/listening to and respecting Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly and all them, and now my dad is into Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro et al.

Sorry, I'm just going on about nothing now. But consider how your beliefs/perceptions developed in the first place and it might help / provide clarity.

it's Friday night, what's everyone doing this weekend?

Mine is going to be laid back if all goes according to plan. I'm going to do some birding with a friend tomorrow morning, then I'm headed to a used bookstore to buy a copy of "the pricess bride" that I talked myself out of the other day (I've never read it). Then I'm hitting the farmers market and then relaxing at home for the...

iamhazel,

I will be continuing to learn UE5, catch up on some work, and hopefully feel better. Had to go to urgent care today for a appendicitis scare. X-Rays looked good so I just got steroids.

iamhazel,

Thank you 🙂

iamhazel,

Respect

iamhazel,

I'll support any company who makes an incredible game and charges a fair price without implement IAP and such.

iamhazel,

I have like 400 hours and have never launched a rocket, used logistic bots, or made a train, lmao fml but I adore this game

iamhazel,

Thank you contributors!

iamhazel,

I'm a 28 yo trans woman and switched careers from arts admin to data science in healthcare. I'm learning UE5 in the hopes of realizing a game idea (city-builder/resource manager on a floating Rubik's cube).

Special interests change regularly and include: electrical engineering, software development, anything space / cosmology / physics, sewing, piano, etc... It's a problem.

I adopted to cats Shadow Lady and Stinky Jane last year and they are everything to me.

Anti-hobbies include eating, partying, public speaking, and dancing.

iamhazel,

Super glad you are going to share the aggregated results :)

iamhazel,

On the other hand I think it would be an awesome option but think they should be hidden behind an advanced editor.

iamhazel,

100% agree!

iamhazel,

It's heartbreaking but that was the right choice I think. There's an island in Greece where cats are an invasive species, they are everywhere. If I ever want I wouldn't be able to leave without taking every needy cat I saw :(

iamhazel,

Please someone tell me you remember SOMA and it being an incredible game?

iamhazel,

Also trying to do my part by posting / commenting when I normally would've written something then deleted my comments.. this is good motivation to participate :)

iamhazel,

Oh I'm not the author I just have a post on the screenshot. I'm excited to, I want to slay Slide was the first client I tried over a decade ago!

iamhazel,

I've been torrenting in the US for a decade and a half without a VPN, including as a kid on my parents network LOL, and only got warnings, maybe once every couple years. Tons of copyrighted materials. ATT then Charter, YMMV.

iamhazel,

I've been running 11 since the first leak and haven't looked back. I actually really dislike using 10 in comparison.

iamhazel,

Honestly I dont think cheez-its are super noticable flavor-wise, as with Doritos it's mostly about the crunch!

I do hope you try a tomato sandwich, they are soo good!

iamhazel,

Kalamazoo Michigan, the art scene and LGBT+ friendliness. My mail person is queer, half of the library staff are queer, our mayor was a gay man, there's a queer theatre and queer resource center downtown, it's really great!

Sadly we have no set queer bar, though one of them is our unofficial bar but it wouldn't stand up to a proper one.
