Excited to announce the birth of my and Alison's first child
— Tim Pool (@Timcast) February 23, 2025
We are struggling though and need help. The doctor keeps insisting our baby is a girl but everytime we ask they/them they gurgles or cries.
How do we inform the doctor they/them hasn't chosen thems gender yet?

chuds and non-chuds debate what it means when people (chuds) say to keep politics out of their hobbies ft. paradox of intolerance and sitting at a table with a nazi
- 22

I think most people just do not want to deal with actual real politics, when engaging with their hobby that is meant to reduce stress. Obviously, the table politics of my Oath group does not affect my mental health as much as my actual governments recent decisions.
This! Games are often an escape from reality.
I don't stop being a trans person in Mississippi while I'm playing Ark Nova. My very existence has been made political.
Reddit becomes the most insufferable place as soon as Trump becomes President
I'm not sure how it would even be possible. People can talk and interact freely.
"Keep politics out of XYZ" is such an inherently political thing to say too lol
Ten times out of 10 it's really "keep the politics I disagree with out of XYZ" with the person saying it not realizing that they don't view the things they agree with as political.
I always thought when pekole talk about politics or work, their friendship is oretty shallow and have nothing else to talk about.
My buddies and I play board games all the time and politics hasn't come up in 20 years. We have fun and interesting things to talk about.
I don't know. If you and your closest friends don't feel comfortable discussing your deeply held beliefs and the concerns you have for the direction some people want to take the country in your name... Maybe they're just buddies.
Politics are almost as boring as religion.
We have other interests that keep the conversation going.
You are grabbing at straws.
ohhh good point and straws are super bad for the environment and sea turtles. i'm sorry.
Unironically, this comment is pretty much what your post looks like.
No it's not, there's a difference between playing a game and yelling at someone about something political. That's what people mean.

I'm in my mid 40's. When I was younger I had a mentally r-slurred cousin. I would often see other r-slurred people in public too. What was up with them? Were they severely neurodivergent? Brain damage or traumatic brain injury? It wasn't Down syndrome because they have always been around too, like Corky. But I never see the classic r-slurred people anymore. They were a lot of fun.

So are you a capitalist or a constitutionalist.In your world, I am responsible for not only voting my conscience, but am then responsible for the economic stability of people who express ideals that are inimical to my belief systems. Under that logic, I am being punished for valuing things like free speech (if Musk is a special government employee, and he's actively banning political views from X, then this is a violation of my rights), separation of church and state, equal rights, etc.The moral gymnastics you are doing here is amazing. You've said it yourself, you really don't care, as long as people take care of your business by shopping at it. That's unbelievably selfish and completely morally vapid. (0)

Celebrating mindless striving culture reeks of Asian chauvinism and begs the question of why the most high impact individuals - from technologists to artists - do not have cookie cutter childhoods that were mainly spent being groomed for the Ivy League.

That's fair. But then the man needs to do his part as a conservative. Financially, Socially. You can't have conservative ideals for your partner but not have it to.My idea of a conservative man is someone who has not watched porn. Who has the means to provide and who should wear indian clothes for all indian functions. If a man wants a virgin. He needs to be a virgin both in action as well as thought. You want a wife to cook 3 meals a day. Well. You need to afford a wife that can cook 3 meals a day. (10)

It is to assuage the egos of the conservative indian boys who need to justify their lack of ability to talk to women.See one woman's opinion shows me that all women are bad. It's not my fault. It's the woman's fault for not liking me. I will blame her and put all responsibilities on her because I want a rich hot girl but I don't have money for a rich hot girl. K byeee (30)

Musk is defending us from big meany EU after they stole our elections - 52
- 67
The astounding absurdity of @ThierryBreton 🤡 as tyrant of Europe 😂 https://t.co/fdLp8rbF0M
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 11, 2025
Some former EU something old fart casually admitted that EU was behind the cancelled elections And that they plan to do this to other european countries too. Other countries pre-emptively announced that they discovered russian bot networks influencing their political landscape, and whether is true or not doesn't matter, guess what will happen anyway? 
...or maybe he simply meant that european countries have a way to protect themselves from Russia and gave us as an example. Depends on who you ask I guess 
No one really reacted here since people choose the interpretation that fits with their worldview and most people are already exhausted and done with the whole mess, regardless of who is actually to blame. But new elections will happen in may, still a long way to go, so maybe some giant scandal will eventually happen. Musk is definitely determined to create one 
Still, this is a warning. Elections are approaching for other countries too and the question on whether EU or Russia or both is influencing them will be a reoccurring theme. And frankly there are some good chances that this is the last nail in the coffin and that EU won't survive this controversy 
So, if the Grand European Union will collapse because of this please remember that we started the whole shit and that we're partially to blame for the upcoming disaster. Frick yeah!

Murthy argues in his advisory, noting alcohol consumption is to blame for nearly one million preventable cancer cases in the U.S. over the last decade. About 20,000 people die every year from those alcohol-related cancer cases
They expect people who are drinking enough to get cancer from it to be so into the health food craze to be scared of that? You could eat like 2 fewer hot pockets per year and it would do as much good. Most of these people probably smoke, which is where you've actively made a decision that you're okay with getting cancer.
The hypocrisy of this is just astounding. We put warning labels on alcohol products about stuff that everyone knows (you might actually be worse at driving! 
) but for some reason reason out of all food and drink, booze has an exception for nutritional information. Why? When did this start? What possible justification is there for this? Why in the frick would you print any kind of warning on it if you won't even just tell women it's going to make them fat? Why do we go through this charade of pretending the government in Elliot Ness when there's tax incentives for the wine industry, the beer industry, the weed industry, the mushroom industry. Extreme taxes on the tobacco industry because I guess they were actually the ones really hurting people.
The Surgeon General's office has not replied to MNN's request for comments.
Also BTW am I literally the first fricking person in America who ever noticed this? I have never in my entire life ever heard anyone notice that alcohol makes your product less regulated.
Code-hosting website Codeberg attacked by far right extremists 
- 16

Codeberg released an emergency statement regarding a powerful alt right attack that endangered the safety of everyone who has ever used codeberg. Sources say this is was probably organized by a DOGE-Steve Bannon alliance
We stay strong against hate and hatred
Codeberg public relations team
Wed 12 February 2025
Category: Announcement
Intro
Codeberg is currently suffering from hate campaigns due to far-right forces, and so are our users. First and foremost, we apologize for everyone who has recently received a notification email from our system containing offending and potentially traumatizing content. We are working hard on containing the effects on our users and systems.
Most importantly, your private data was not leaked. All emails have been generated through Codeberg's servers using the notification feature and the abusers had no access to your email address directly.
Fighting hate and far-right forces is important to us. Read to the end of this article to learn why.
What has happened?
In the past days, several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on Codeberg have been subject to hate attacks, such as massive spam of abusive messages in their issue trackers. We have been monitoring the situation closely and have tried to clean up the content as quickly as possible.
Often, content remained available only for a few and up to 30 minutes. Due to constrained personal capacities, some rare cases have remained online for longer. We appreciate all your reports to [email protected] that help us identify abuse quickly.
On 12 February 2025, an abuser has escalated the attacks to a next level. Instead of targetting individual projects, they have started to create abusive content and mentioned Codeberg users in chunks of 100 each. Depending on the notification settings of users (if you are a user on Codeberg, you can modify it in your settings), these generate notification emails that contain a copy of the post that includes the mention - and thus the abusive content via email.
Although our staff reacted quickly, blocked access to the used functionality and deleted the user accounts, they managed to generate a large amount of notification emails already.
Since this attack is not only harming Codeberg users but the platform itself, both via technical means (we had brief downtime of our systems and our mail server was suffering a lot), as well as by harming the reputation of our platform and trust users have shown us. We expect this incident to be in response to our swift moderation of the previous campaigns that targeted only individual projects.
How could this happen?
Please understand that Codeberg.org is driven by volunteers mostly. We have sufficient capacity to run the platform under normal conditions, and normal conditions also include some headway to deal with abuse campaigns that come and go. We suppose that most readers did not notice the spam campaigns of the past days, and we are happy that we managed to contain them quickly. We are fighting with advertisement spam, phishing and malware week to week.
However, our capacity was obviously exhausted this time, when it comes to attacks that target us specifically. And we apologize for this.
You might wonder why there are not more technical countermeasures in place to prevent this type of abuse. Technical measures evolve over time, and we have implemented several protections on multiple levels that are trying to contain the amount of abuse you see day to day.
However, doing proper rate-limiting is hard. We need to ensure that legitimate usage of our API and interface is possible, including custom scripts that import or synchronize massive amounts of issues from projects on other platforms. There are some rate-limits tailored to the previous abuse vectors we have seen, which was mostly aggressive advertizing, and so it would not have been possible to create these massive postings if they would have contained a hyperlink to another website, for example.
However, just spamming notification emails to users is a new abuse vector to us, and we did not sufficiently prepare for this. For that, we are sorry.
What will Codeberg do?
Currently, we are investigating the details of the attack and we have implemented short-term countermeasures and monitor activity on the platform closely. Further, we are responding to hundreds of emails from our users that ask about the incident. Some request the deletion of their data in response.
Next up, we will make plans on how to improve our protection against this and future kinds of abuse attacks on Codeberg itself to reduce the likelihood of similar things from ever happening again.
If you want to help with development work on Forgejo, the free/libre and open source software that powers Codeberg, please reach out. Go developers who can commit some time and patience to implement one our more technical measures in the codebase are much appreciated.
Unrelated to the current incident, we have worked with NLnet in the past weeks and secured funding for some moderation cowtools. A meeting was scheduled for later today at 20.00 CET to talk about technical architecture for a feature that allows reporting abuse directly in the app and the goal is to implement it for the next release of Forgejo.
Far-right forces endanger free/libre software projects
We will not be discouraged in our fight against far-right ideologies. They are currently on the rise in many parts of the world, and we believe it is important to protect all kinds of marginalized groups. However, if you believe this does not affect your project, you are wrong. Far-right forces pose a threat to all of us.
Extreme right forces actively target members of our communities and discriminate based on ethnicity and gender, political background, sexual orientation, disabilities, nationality and faith. However diversity is an important asset in free/libre software communities and it is what makes our software great and development productive.
By targetting (Editor's note: Codeberg can't afford a spell checker) some of our most active translators, nicest designers, best developers and all other motivated contributors, they are hurting the free/libre software ecosystem as a whole.
Don't be fooled if right-wing forces promise to "promote open source" in their political agenda. This has nothing to do with the values of our movement! This is about national patriotism and protectionism, and they will happily accept splitting our community on their way.
We all know that the free/libre software ecosystem won't work this way. Every human is an integral and equally important part of it, and targetting some of our community members threatens the ecosystem as a whole.
Let's together stay strong and united against the emerging threats. We stay strong against discrimination of all kind, including but not limited to sexism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism and ableism. And we hope that you all join us for this mission.
A big shout-out to all the projects that collect facts and resources against hate and discrimination and that have been the primary goal of these attacks. Support them if you can.
If you ever considered supporting the fight against right-wing forces, for example by joining political movements and parties, organizing protests or getting involved in online communities with this goal - now might be the best time to move ahead.
Again, we apologize for the disruption of your work and the abusive content delivered to your mailboxes. We are doing our best to contain the situation.
We'd like to thank everyone who signaled their support in the current situation, via e-mail, Mastodon and in Matrix chats. This means a lot to us.
Thank you for your trust and support!
Your Codeberg Public Relations team

Canada becomes a US territory.

The tariffs end.
Federal taxes are scrapped.
We become US citizens & gain the US Constitution.
We can preserve Canada's history & the Canadian identity within the Union.
Just like how Texans or Floridians or Californians have a unique culture.
I think the Tariffs start on Tuesday, so the Canadians 
are mentally preparing for their surrender on Sunday

It could happen at any moment... and because of the significance, it doesn't matter. It IS happening though. Not soon enough. The celebrations will rival end of WWII because... these enemies of The United States were here, on this land, about to take control. A New Era is about to begin.
I've been trying to tell everyone I know that we have enemies in America and they all voted Republican.
Republicans are evil people.
Even when they were doing and saying the most vile shit, I couldn't say "well, their conservative ancestors wouldn't like that".
But now that they're literally voting Putin into the White House, I can confidently say even their confederate ancestors would think they're dirty fricking traitors.
You know it's bad when the 1950s rednecks and the 2024 woke left would agree about that.
but with consent of course. also killing all rethugglicans
When this happens, I will probably be in my bedroom or living room, and at which point, I will:
Run into my basement and scream with joy (Doing it in the basement to not freak out the neighbors)
Come back upstairs and cry to the point of dehydration
Look back on all the plans I had set up for 2025 when I thought Kamala was going to close the deal on Election Night and pick out one to immediately get started on.
Then have the best sleep of my life that night.
Why aren't things in real life like on my idiot box?!?!
I bet we do to X, Truth, et al. what we did to the major poker companies back in the day. The first thing I expect to see are reports from users of those sites that they are unable to access them and instead see a notice that looks something like the image below. Later that day, I expect to see a press release from the appropriate US Attorney's Office announcing charges.
Not sure how MAGA communicates or organizes without those platforms.
Those who voted for change will need an off ramp.

WARNING: EXTREMELY BORING AND PERSONAL BLOGPOST AHEAD, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU'RE A 
OR MY FRIEND. THANK YOU.
i debated whether or not to make this post but ultimately decided i should lay out my reasons for (attempting) to quit using the site again, if only to get one last good dose of attention, maybe get some finality, and exist as a cautionary tale. this is not a "frick you userbase" post or insistence for the administration to do anything about the sites content or userbase, simply my logic for why i think i personally should stop using it. i would also generally advise other trans people to avoid the site as well but i know plenty of people who do get something out of reading chud shitholes (seriously i see so many ovarit/kf screenshots on tttt reddit its insane).
anyway i have the big depression. i'm not the most suicidal i've ever been and i'm not considering self harm but i would describe my mental state as seriously fricked up bros. this means more bedrotting, more binge eating, more lapses in executive function, more isolation. i've also for the first time in my short 27 year timespan on this earth actually dug more into these feelings and analyzed them, though this has not lead to any great understanding or an "a-ha" moment on my part. at best it's made me relate more to the stereotypical descriptions of depression and dysphoria. i'm not gonna go too deep into that because its embarrassing tbh. in the past i haven't really considered rdrama to be a major factor in this. a contributor to be sure but i always thought i got more out of it than it took for me. maybe that was delusion or maybe i was just better at tanking the damage in the past. maybe i just took enough and longer breaks and i was never cut out for using the site for an extended period of time. idk. here's some conjecture for why i think its particularly bad for me now:
1) half the country despises my existence and while this fact has always been true it hasn't been as relevant. this leads to me being inundated with a double dose of hatred shoved into my face, first when i see the news elsewhere and again when i browse rdrama. and yes i know nothing ever happens and im being hysterical and yadda yadda yadda. nobody can take my HRT away from me, diy exists. nobody (besides immigrants) is going to be put into camps, things will get better it'll just take time. doesn't mean it's not scary. should i be scared boymoding in a red state? probably not but seeing a news article about kim reynolds trying to legally declare me subhuman certainly isn't fricking helping me not be scared.
2) rdrama has just continued to go on a downward spiral? being someone who started using 4chan at age 12 in 2010 and was constantly called out for being a newstrag, i never really bought into "communities degrade over time" rhetoric. mainly because people are always saying shit is getting worse and i was either too dumb to recognize it or part of the problem myself in the past. but anyway. its definitely a thing with rdrama. a lot of users i liked or at least recognized as someone worth my time have been banned or left the site. and the people coming in to replace them are not the best and brightest. its just. i really really don't care if youre a chud. like yes seeing your ignorant opinions about certain topics does tend to make me flare up with angst, but i really try to not take it too seriously and just have a fun time. it just feels like people aren't coming here to have a fun time or shoot the shit about hobbies or do a little casual reddit trolling. it feels like they're coming here to make themselves and everyone around them miserable.
3) i have better social avenues elsewhere. i'm not talking about tttt because i don't think i'll ever feel like i fit in there, but i do have a friend now who i feel like is on a similar wavelength to me. and interacting with that person has made me realize i have so much more me to express than i am capable of doing on rdrama. its a rather dire comparison that has made me realize more and more how fricking stupid i am for putting up with this for so long. i said it the other day, lonely people tend to act deranged, and it turns out having your sole social outlet be a website full of people that hate you is pretty fricking deranged. being surrounded by people that hate me has been my modus operandi for a long time (much longer than i've been on rdrama), and only now am i realizing how fricked up that is. i'm not conceited enough to say i'm finally growing up, but i do think this time is a little bit different. idk we'll see i guess lmao
thats that. i'll respond to comments here but after that im outie 5k, gonna log out everywhere and scramble my password again. i once again do not know how to end this post
