  • Not rare with boomer LGBTQ+ people here in Sweden, I know several and had many around as neighbours etc. throughout my whole life. One of the people who checks your ID and stuff when you vote in my area is trans (mtf) and has been doing that for 30+ years and it’s nothing odd for the vast majority who meet her, I think she’s in her 80s now. Was always curious and liked her when I was a kid and went there with my parents. Still like her of course, and it’s always so nice to see her still doing that.



  • My only worry is the ergonomics of it. They had to cram so much that it looks like the sticks and buttons are too far up while the track pads are too far down. I haven’t used a steam deck, but it does look more comfortable than this controller does. I hope it doesn’t end up with that feeling of nothing being in a really comfortable place (except the triggers and bumpers).









  • Have so many stories like this. One from high-school that I thought of immediately:

    Had a girl in my class who was very white trash, she had a g-string with a butterfly at the top of the T section at the back and got the task of giving out papers to everyone else. When she went to the front to put down the left over ones she bent down and we all saw that butterfly. Me, being a very introvert and awkward kid normally, for some reason blurted out “oh hello Mrs. Butterfly, nice to see you”. She had a 5 second meltdown and turned bright red before running out of the classroom. Right after that class ended as we were walking out into the corridor she was waiting by the door, as soon as I went out she kicked me, with her pointy high heels, right between my legs. She hit my taint and I blacked out from the pain, had never felt such soul crushing direct pain before. Nothing else happened, it’s like we just agreed that we are on good terms again and everything continued as normal after that. Not that we were friends before, but we did have some banter and some connection through other friends in the class. Then we made out a couple of years later during a party right before we graduated, haven’t seen her since then.








  • I’ve had that issue in several ways. Of course what you said, had an extension cord with a switch below my desk and I kept accidentally hitting that switch in the same way, lived in an apartment some years ago that had some shitty electrical work done by the previous tenant and if I had enough lamps on while my computer and screen where on and I tried to plug in my phone or turn the TV on the circuit popped, and most recently I’ve been playing games via cloud streaming (Shadow) and my Ethernet cable has lost the security tab thingy on both ends and I keep accidentally moving other cables so they touch the Ethernet cable and it falls out. Most of the time I can just put it back in an reconnect to the cloud computer but sometimes it just refuses to do that so the cloud computer shuts down before I’m able to get it working. Lost several hours of progress in various games throughout the past couple of years, but I never buy anything new unless it’s absolutely needed so I just live with and accept it '^^
