Which form of pronouns will you use when asked?

@freemo

FWIW, I agree with this 100%.

@freemo it mostly comes down to the circumstances they live in. What they do, what their local communities expect.

Consider something more clear-cut and outside of mental health: myopia, near-sightedness. A condition with which one's eyes have a much closer focal range, meaning they see things worse from afar, but also better up close. Not just as close as people without it — even closer. Meaning that with a comparable retina a myopic can clearly discern much finer details. Kind of a superpower, right? If they do lots of work on a tiny scale it would seem like it.

And yet, street signs, menu posters in restaurants, numbers on the public transport and tons of other things are *a lot* harder to see, to the point of them being entirely nonfunctional, which reflects on the user – forcing unto them alternatives or aids (glasses, smartphones and their cameras, other people) through difficulties integrating into society.

Different lifestyles have different compositions of these components.

@freemo @maccdog I am really looking forward to using the new features that are planned. I expect the wait is worth it.

@bibliolater @maccdog

The first 5 will get us some core stuff. Its the 6th one where the best stuff will be. I have f
A full tine staff working on qoto now.

@hornblower @freemo LOL what?

If anything, this is what gets #JoeBiden reelected, because the left wingers have nowhere else to go and #Trump is actually a stronger supporter of #Israel than #JoeBiden is

@hornblower

I’ve said it a few times now but you seem to refuse to listen to what I say and just repeat your talking points..

I expect stein to get 0 electorial votes and 1% to 3% of the vote.

My point is so what? How is voting for someone who gets 2% of the vote and loosing any different than voting for an evil person who gets 48% of the vote and looses, or even voting for another equally evil person who gets 51% of the vote and wins? How is you voting for someone you dont want to win, who wins somehow better than voting for someone you do want to win who looses? Thats the part you have failed to answer and just completely ignore in the discussion. The outcome is exactly the same with regards to who wins no matter who i vote for, so what even is your argument for me to vote for someone I dont want.. you have none.

The most understandable explanation to me.

@freemo

Possibly!

I haven't seen any westerner refer to mangosteen at all. And considering its origin in Malaysia/Indonesia (+PH and I guess TH) with their largely Muslim populations and fondness of the fruit (my 2nd most favorite, after mango) the term is guaranteed not present there.

Quick search on the net leads to a joke; "What do you call a Jewish mango? Mangostein"

Just did my first cross country (120nm) #flight at night in #VFR! KORL to KOCF back to KORL.

Most important lesson I learned? Don't #fly at night under visual flight rules. I should wait until I get my instrument rating if I want to fly at night.
