  • I mean it is a similar intent to a warrant canary, though more active. What they should have done is make sure all of the data is stored in their country if it’s that sensitive or use only products that allow full encryption and don’t store much metadata. There are ways to do these things if you aren’t lazy and actually hire an experienced architect (I’m one for example).

    This was definitely much more of a legal overstep with explicit intent to subvert court orders than a warrant canary, though, and this unethical in it’s implementation if only questionable in its intent. However, the fact that the secretive orders exist in the first place and are not done just in cases where lives or true national security are at stake and only for limited amounts of time before being disclosed or something like that as most were originally intended outside of nations with fascist-leaning administrations like the US, China, India, etc., is the real issue and the reason for both this and warrant canaries to be necessary even if it wasn’t a fascist leaning administration doing it for possibly malicious reasons.




  • As someone who used to have sex with women with my penis when i had one, lube would get rubbed off at the beginning if the vagina was not naturally lubricated and you didn’t use enough. It’s always a good idea to either apply an excess of lube to the tip so it pushes in further, or pull out a bit as soon as there is resistance so the tip is relubricated by the stuff that was rubbed off on the walls earlier and reinsert (often a few gentle pushes would do the trick), or totally remove, apply more, and reinsert if there wasn’t enough applied in the first place.

    This is especially true with lubes that are less liquid and so tend to rub off of the shaft/dilator/toy before it gets to depth. Same concept applies in plumbing and other jobs that use certain types of lubricants. Things like certain silicone and oil lubrication (and Teflon and graphite lubricants for plastics and metals, not body parts) don’t have this problem as much as they adhere better to the object being inserted and/or use a slightly different mechanism for reducing friction.



  • We’ve had to put more effort into being accepted by society so often appear more friendly. Also, non-binary people especially have a higher rate of autism and other neurodivergent traits which makes us more focused on quality due to ethical standards and better at multitasking and again to have worked a lot on interacting well with society. As for why coffee shops, there’s the need for flexibility in neurodivergence and the fact that stimulants are useful to any types of neurodivergence like ADHD.

    All of this is just based on several studies I’ve read and is based on existing data. Of course incidence of neurodivergence is underreported overall due to lack of mental healthcare and neurodivergence care for adults in particular, so it could just be coincidental. It’s especially lower reported in older adults since its mostly only diagnosed in childhood and older adults didn’t have that and baristas tend to be younger so that could be a factor as well. But anecdotally as an agender AuDHD person myself, it seems to hold some water at least, though I’m a little older so that Batista wasn’t really as common of a job when i was younger, so i was never one, but an AuDHD non-binary partner of mine was until fairly recently 😁.






  • Yeah, I was agreeing. I think the many argument doesn’t much water so to speak. I think the 0 argument has some merit depending on how you define a moon, but Trojans and quasi-moons definitely shouldn’t count since they aren’t relatively permanently. Problem is the IAU doesn’t have a good definition partly because many of the more detailed definitions that have been tried tend to disqualify our own moon and that would be way more disruptive than disqualifying Pluto as a planet which is still causing a mess in education.

    I just find it a quite interesting subject that can only even be a subject because out technology has improved so much over my lifetime.


  • Depth loss is generally permanent, though width loss is not. You a should ask a gyno or your surgeon about it, but generally I’d say don’t push it too hard to try to regain depth, it may just cause more damage and pain. But definitely don’t stop.

    You’ll regret it later if you lose all of your depth and need surgery to restore it which can be expensive, hard to find without long wait lists, and may even be illegal soon.

    You can try dilators that aren’t as wide to reduce pain and give up some of the width for now. It will be painful and take time and patience to regain, but if you think it’s going to help you actually do it, that might be an option. Losing depth is a big issue, though. Try not to let it go if you can help it.

    I know depression can make it difficult. Try to reward yourself for doing it. Get some ice cream or your favorite desert for afterwards or something like that. I don’t have sex with people with penises usually, but I plan to keep my depth as long as humanly possible just to feel healthy and feel more like a woman. Try thinking of it not in terms of what people want to use of you. It’s your body. It’s part of you. It’s not just a fancy fleshlight. 🫂



  • Yeah that’s the issue…too many for anyone to ever want to read and my inability to pick just one as they’re all “top-tier” thanks to the AuDHD combo. 🤣

    It’s just ironic that the meme is using a question that someone like me can’t answer in meme form in a forum for someone like me, so great job to the OP there. Reminds me of the horrible looking socks that the horrible Autism Speaks org sells with thick seams not only in the toes, but down the side (which I’ve never seen before), despite one of the stereotypical major things that Autistic people can’t stand is bad socks. Just so ironic as hell that I dont know if they are making a point with them or more likely just dont understand Autism at all since they’re just around for the money and making parents feel better about being bad parents rather than helping Autistic people. <\rant>







  • It’s nice to have a GUI for those things sometimes rather than a command line for everything. If you’re doing things right, your daily login shouldn’t have access to modify system settings or read sensitive logs. But troubleshooting requires that often and ls, vim, cat, tail, etc., can become cumbersome compared to a GUI file manager and proper GUI text editor like Kate or Gedit.
