I’m curious as to what makes it so nice? My gut reaction is to say “It’s literally a rod of metal with some checkering”, but I’ve been in enough hobbies to know that there are some very fine details that make a world of difference.

hovercatto AntiTrumpAlliance@lemmy.world•Fired a federal employee because of what her husband didEnglish12·2 days agoDid I mention one of the organizations is the SRA? I’m well aware of the possibility of being loaded into a van and I’m going to do my damned best to keep myself, my friends, and people in my community out of them.
hovercatto AntiTrumpAlliance@lemmy.world•Fired a federal employee because of what her husband didEnglish66·2 days agoI’m so, so fucking sick and tired of all the doomer shut-in fuckwits who think that we’re going to fix this by doing a Jan 6 style raid on the White House. That’s not how any of this works. I went to a No Kings protest. You want to know what happened before/after the “parade”? Thousands of people signed up to move our state towards ranked choice voting, information was given out on protecting your community from ICE, and people are getting resources to be more politically active. Literally every political advocacy org in my area has absolutely exploded and we’re at a point where we’re having to pause memberships because there are so many people trying to join.
Real change takes a bit of fucking time and I’m so, so, so sick and tired of all the people who act like no one is doing anything, while they themselves do fuck-all but doom scroll on Lemmy and post about how it’s all over.
It’s a boss battle, and bitching about how people are just dodge rolling and parrying and have barely chipped away at the health bar is absolutely asinine.

hovercatto politics @lemmy.world•Trump fan dismisses Epstein files because it's 'human nature' to molest kidsEnglish3·3 days agoLike with everything, it’s projection. They know that they’d love to molest kids and assault women in bathrooms if they were ever allowed, so they just project that onto others.
Oh, for sure. Fortunately, we do have laws protecting GAH and LGBTQ+ non-discrimination, albeit unfortunately only for adults at this time. Still, medical providers have emphasized their commitment to providing care for trans kids too, even if it’s not enshrined in law yet.
Come to your neighbor in the north! We’re pretty trans friendly up here in SE Michigan and job opportunities are pretty good.
I will say that it’s honestly not the masses, at least not yet. Even with as much insane shit as your average MAGAt has been able to handwave away, “pedos bad” is one of the few remaining bipartisan issues and was literally a huge part of what Trump ran on, saying they’d release the files and how it’d expose all the Dems/deep state/etc. Now you’re seeing many of the “Would support Trump if he murdered a man on 5th Ave” types getting legitimately upset by the insane backpedaling on this. Will it last? Only time will tell, but this feels legitimately different, even when speaking to your average dipshit Trump supporter.

hovercatto Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•My (F) partner (MtF) recently came out as trans. I'm not into women, how do I be polite?English2·20 days agoIf you’re living together, please consider giving them some time to figure things out, if that’s feasible for you.
I cannot stress this enough. Your partner is going through a lot right now and they need support. It might be difficult to deal with seeing them transition, but it’s paramount that they have at least some stability in their lives during this time.
I say this from personal experience as I came out to my wife, and she moved out the next day. It was absolutely devastating, and even with the incredible amount of support and found family I have, it’s impossible to convey the sheer amount of damage that decision has caused emotionally.
Your partner will understand your preferences, as hard as it may be for her, but she will not be able to understand abandonment.

They’re super special electrostatic headphones, so they have to be run with a special type of amplifier, and the one they come with come is absolutely insane, and is a huge part of the cost. Honestly, I bet you could cost cut the whole thing down to under $20k, but you’re paying a LOT of money for stuff like the fact that the amplifier case is made of marble and has one of the coolest boot sequences imaginable, where all the tubes and knobs rise out of it and retract back in so the whole thing is seamless. It’s very much one of those things that get built when engineers are handed a blank check and told “We don’t care what it costs, have fun”
