My guess is he didn’t get the reaction he expected and was offered exile. He saw a quick death if he continued and the chance to defect west or something if he stopped. I think stopping becomes the obvious move in that case.
The bigger question is why did he start in the first place? What conditions existed that meant that was the best move.
Not quite. If you are in so deep that you are worried about color you already past the executive order that defines the layout of the flag as you know it.
If you notice all the flags in the video has a singular blue area. This one has two. Whether that is valid or not dependa on how you interpret “union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field”.
If you think that means the blue area must be contiguous then this flag does not meet the definition. If you think the blue area does not need to be contiguous then this flag may meet the definition.
So I had a conversation on this in a different community. I’m going to summarize my conclusion here.
Sadly the flag code defines the flag as having a singular blue fied.
I tried to get a good definition of what exactly a field is. Here we have the definition “The backdrop color to a flag. Ex: On the Arkansas state flag, it is the red part.”
I’m not actually finding a better definition and am starting to question if the canton in the US flag counts as a field in vexillology terms since it isn’t a ‘backdrop’.
A better way, and perhaps the more accurate, is to ask how we would construct a flag. The red field in the Arkansas flag is one piece of fabric. The blue canton is one piece of fabric. Two blue stripes could be once piece of fabric with everything else sewn into of it. But I think the better construction would be two pieces of fabric sewn on to the outer two stripes.
But I wouldn’t worry about it since section 5 codifies “existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag of the United States” by using an existing executive order. That order’s attachment basically defines the flag as you know it.
Of course none of this is actually has a mechanism of enforcement so you can fly just about anything and just call it the American flag.
New ERA just dropped boys.
Also I broke my foot stepping on it.
I feel like this would make a great “me and the girls” template.
It’s really location dependent. Some places you’ll see the birds in seconds and others never. You’ll need to know the climate, local weather, soil conditions, what else is growing in the area, time of year, etc. to get an accurate answer.
Ah the classic “I’m trans better tell everyone. Wait maybe I’m not. Nope definitely I am better tell everyone again.”
I think it’s next to impossible to write a guide on how to transition. It’s so multidimensional and personalized that any guide saying do x, y and z is going to be wrong for someone. But maybe something very, very general can be written.
You’ve actually been at this longer than me so maybe you have a better idea of what transition is to you but I split mine into three broad categories; mental, social and medical.
Mental transition is working on how you view yourself and how you fit into the world. For me it mainly involves reflection on what exactly do I want, how do I get it, and why haven’t I. Usually unpacking internalized transphobia for me but also involves integrateing ‘girl me’ me into my view of myself. Slots in with medical transition in that you may want to talk to a therapist to assist you with it and helps you decide if and how you want to medically transition. Fits in with social transition in it is how you decide to transition and overcome inhibitions to transition. Maybe the hardest easy thing to do.
Social transition is changing how you interact with the people and the world around you. Probably the first thing most people think of when they say transition. Covers a huge range of things like how you groom yourself, clothes, pronouns, voice training and many many more. How, when and why someone does one thing or another is going to be very personal and specific to them.
Medical transition is basically anything you need a doctor to help you with. I include feminizing HRT here even though you could technically do it by yourself in a lot of jurisdictions. I would also include any mental health consoling here. My advice here is to basically get in line the second you have an inkling that you are going want or need help from the medical community. The wait times for it can be months or years depending on location. If when you get to the front of the line and decide you don’t want anything you can always decline and they’ll go to the next person.
Seems someone wasn’t a native English speaker and didn’t know what loli meant.
"I have so much respect for @[email protected] but i can’t believe how poorly he wrote the update message, lol.
Here is what’s happening;
loli/shota are BANNED and not okay in any way.
IRL kids are BANNED OBVIOUSLY because no shit.
characters who are petite/young-looking but not obviously underage are ALLOWED because as an instance the votes decided that banning all of it was destructive, and differentiating between them can be impossible.
The line will continue to be up to the admins discretion, though we always appreciate input. And beyond this, individual communities can decide whether they want to outright ban all flat-chested etc. porn to be safe.
Any other clarifications necessary, just ask below. Thanks for reading. ~Restful" from https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826
I don’t fly often but it may be getting better. 🤷♀️
So at least they know at an organizational level they have an issue.
Of course my view is they are a useless organization overall and locked cockpit doors do 99% of their jobs.
I think this article is overstating the report’s findings. From the executive summary of the report:
The research findings in the biomedical area are inconclusive. Studies which make conclusions on pre- and post-hormone replacement therapy (HRT) advantage held by trans women athletes have used either cis men or sedentary trans women as proxies for elite trans women athletes. These group references are not only inappropriate for the context but produce conclusions that cannot be applied to elite trans women athletes. Further, there is little scientific understanding about the attributes or properties of HRT, namely testosterone suppression and estrogen supplementation, on the physiology and athletic ability of trans women athletes. This ignores the potential for estrogen supplementation to reduce Lean Body Mass (LBM), and for testosterone suppression to produce holistic health disadvantages.
Which in my reading basically says all the current data is invalid for elite level athletes and shouldn’t be used for policy making. That’s not quite as powerful as the conclusion as saying there are no differences.
I hate to say more research is needed since it’s an argument made by people who just want to exclude trans athletes until it can be definitely proven there are no advantages, but I don’t feel like I can’t come to a conclusion from this.
My gut feeling is that there is probably a very complex relationship between an individual historic hormones and their performance in any given sport. And that performance is probably very dependent on the sport in question as well, e.g. any potential difference between trans women and cis women will present differently in long distance running vs weight lifting.
Finding the docs for the API end points is a pain in the ass. Best I found is this but it seems to be version 1 of the API.
Looking at the communities/list end point I the request can have the following arguments.
{ op: "ListCommunities", data: { sort: String, page: Option<i64>, limit: Option<i64>, auth: Option<String> } }
Looks like there are multiple pages you probably only got page 1.

Good links. There are more nonmeme communities that are in a better position to answer questions or offer more personalized recommendations that can be linked to as well.
Such as:
I’m sure there are more out there, a lot of community formation is happening right now. I specifically don’t know the tranasc communities But they should be added too.
Two classic sources:

My own anxieties
Well the flour was not there until she pulled it out of the æther. What? You expect a man just to not see it? No. She’s a witch. Only possible answer.
So I’m no expert at community building but just posting your hard drive might not work to well. I think you’ll basically end up with Potemkin village.
Leaving some low hanging fruit for others to post might drive more engagement and therefore grow the community more over time.
That’s not to say I think all of your posting is bad, I did find you on new, just that there is probably an optimal rate of it and it’s probably under fire hose.
Same here. I can either dwell on how much time I feel I lost or accept that the journey made me who I am today.
HardlightCereal got banned from Raddle for doxing someone. The site’s primary admin quite literally uses they pronouns. That doesn’t preclude enbypobia in itself but should at least make you question what HardlightCereal’s actual goal is without more evidence.
