Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
ID: Text in the style of the "the more you know" slogan which says "remember your roots". Under the text instead of a shooting star with a rainbow trail is a red brick with a sparkly progress flag as its trail
Guns are cheap btw.
Bricks are harder to ban by the state.
Not in America.
Nah, Reagan did it easy. Plenty of people will be totally ok with banning guns if THOSE PEOPLE start carrying and using them.
I think you're underestimating the current fetishization in gun culture but that's fair enough
Ammo isn't, from what I hear. However arrows can be made out of any relatively straight and light material.
This is why you buy NATO calibers.
5.56 is ~50 cents a round and has been for years at this point
Sure, but it's free when you get it from someone else.
Lemmy 0.19.5 has captions, no need to (ab)use the post body
Not all clients nor servers are up to date yet
Yeah, that’s fair.. it’s unfortunate, it’s a really important feature
Good to know some people see accessibility as abusive..
This is definitely a you problem. Deal with it, ableist.
Im just trying to help. The post body doesn’t federate to mastodon, so nobody there will see it. Alt text e.g. captions does though. This is one of the main reasons image captions were added to Lemmy.
Nobody is stopping you from using both either. However is you have an accessibility concern with captions, you should definitely report is to the Lemmy devs so they know and can make the implementation better.
Huh? In what world is it ableist to advocate for/promote the use of a real accessibility feature over a workaround that doesn't work on all platforms on which people might be seeing this content??
In a world where the person "advocating" a feature who isn't actually advocating for anything at all, doesn't even consider that not everyone on the fediverse uses lemmy, and that not everyone running lemmy has it up to date, but most importantly, calls an existing and perfectly valid and literally harmless accessibility solution "abuse" because they don't like it for whatever reason.
literally harmless accessibility solution “abuse” because they don’t like it for whatever reason.
Well, I am calling it "abusing the post body" because it doesn't federate to all services. Captions (or as Lemmy calls them, alt text) does federate better as it was designed to use a more standard federation data type that Mastodon understands.
So, using the post body for captions actually kinda is harmful in the lens of Mastodon users, and other federated services that don't support Lemmy's post body.
however many Lemmy clients don't support alt text, but do support post bodys
That's true I would make feature request to those clients to add this very important functionality.
Are you the developer of Voyager, the best Lemmy application ever?
I am the developer of Voyager, but there are many great Lemmy clients out there! ;)
There are, but yours is the best! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done!
Pretty sure Geordie and Levar from RR agree on this.
I don't get the reference, sorry.. 😬
Autocorrect got me, not Lamar. Levar Burton hosted a show called Reading Rainbow and also played chief engineer Geordie La Forge in Star Trek
Ah, that makes more sense, thanks! 😂
Thanks for alerting me to the typo. Also I’m posting all this from Voyager, which is great. Keep up the good work 👍
I just figured it was from a show or movie I've never heard of or something, don't worry about it!
help trans people by teaching them about diy hrt. it's way more effective than putting pronouns in your bio. read up on how HRT works on https://transfemscience.org and learn about which sellers have been tested by a third party on https://transharmreduction.org/hrt-testing
edit for context: the frustration in this comment isn't directed at op but at LGBT people that are like "be gay do crime!" but when it comes to actually doing crimes and being LGBT they suddenly care a lot about what the law says trans people should be allowed to do. all bark no bite. though that's not relevant to my point, I mostly just want people to learn about diy hrt
This is all incredibly valid, salient, and informative. However, it should be stressed that DIY is inherently dangerous and can really go bad. Only do so if you are more than confident in your ability to do everything involved.
I started transition in the early 2000's before the terms "transition" or even "transgender" were even remotely mainstream. HRT wasn't a real thing that you could just get prescribed.
I guess what I'm saying here is that if you have the option and capability, it is worth it (and safer) to do HRT legit. Don't wind up like me with bare bones information and skill, winding up going through a weird pseudo menopause in your 20's.
I have nothing against the idea of DIY, but please stay safe and informed. Don't trust a single source of information.
the frustration in this comment isn’t directed at op
You're good, and so are any resources that can help people get through this.
Just going to leave this here

If you can't leave you should be looking into firearms education look up SRA, Pink Pistols, and concealed carry as often as possible. Seek out LGBTQ firearms education like farenough_42
