Hey, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and I’m glad you’re still with us.

FWIW, your family would be traumatised if you did anything like that; quick skim reading tells me you have a daughter. This isn’t meant to guilt trip you regarding your feelings; I just wanted to offer a counter to the “my family would be better too.”

I hope that you end up feeling in control of your own life, and maybe even proud of it. You deserve to walk her down the aisle with happy tears in your eyes (if marriage ends up being on the cards for her!)

One of the airports in Warsaw has fidget spinners bolted to the wall 😭 even that’s outdone this.

Lol what? Which bar is this out of curiosity? I’m local to the area, so would be good to know to avoid.

I actually totally agree with this; I just think the solution is holding these companies to account rather than forcing all users to submit very personal identification.

I think you’re imagining the difference between them from a technological point of view to be much bigger than it actually is.

I have debit and credit cards, Visa and Mastercard for both. Using them feels identical; one draws from your bank account balance and the other goes towards an invoice sent to you at the end of the month.

When you pay with them, the vendors themselves don’t see any private information about you, other than the card number and the way your name is written on the card. Some of my cards only have my first initial and my last name.

They can, however, track that card number across multiple purchases or with partners to build a profile.

Visa and Mastercard themselves can see a lot more, but that’s a given if you use any kind of banking services anyway.

In terms of where they’re accepted, I’ve used them all over the world and the only time it mattered which type I use, is this one flight where Ryanair was not accepting debit when I was trying to buy water… Somehow you have to borrow money to eat/drink on board, which is just silly.

I totally agree with this assessment, but being high and being tipsy/drunk are also very different beasts.

I wouldn’t smoke if I’m trying to gain a bit more social courage lmao

Good Lord, this is the UK’s Rwanda scandal all over again.

I grew up with the Internet of the noughties and saw some screwed up stuff. That should have been on my parents, but I turned out okay anyway.

Canada’s just the latest to join the mass surveillance club.

Because your vitriol comes from being deeply unhappy in your own life.

There’s no easy way to put this, but some cultural traits are bad. Your homophobia is rooted in broader social pressures imparted onto you by your environment/community. These pressures can mess with your sense of self-worth, but they are usually ripple effects from decades of clinging to religion in dire/traumatic circumstances. You can and should be better.

If it makes any difference to you I’m middle eastern myself

No idea; I’ve personally never phrased it like that. I just say that I pay (income/council/whatever) tax.

Feels like an Americanism to me.

Yes, that is what I referring to when I said that police have a lot to answer for. How multiple police officers fail to notice the victim was stabbed in is mind-boggling, let alone while he is literally telling them this. This is a level of incompetence that actually makes dystopian levels of job automation (including policing) seem favourable.

I think “where you fall on the political spectrum” is quite a personal thing for the attending police officers to know, as opposed to demographic information. I doubt you are insinuating that white people have uniform political opinions

I appreciate you summarising the actual story/news article, but that is not what I was asking about.

My comment was a reply to rambling about… “Lemmy says to punch Nazis and this is what happens when you don’t allow people to make mistakes” which was barely comprehensible, chock full of false assumptions about what happened and what Lemmy users think, and topped off with a smidge of Nazi apologia.

I think the comment I replied to has since been removed as I can’t see it anymore, so I’m guessing you saw my comment as a top-level comment. No biggie.

Anyway, while I’m here, I’ll leave my actual thoughts on the story itself, which is that it’s a horrible tragedy. It’s also sickening how the far right are hijacking his parents’ grief to stir division and make some delusional point about white people being oppressed in the UK. Police have a lot to answer for on this one.

Not doomed at all; going abroad is a privilege. Best of luck to you wherever you end up; you’ll be fine.

Nobody challenged your legal rights.

You are a vile human being.

What in the world are you talking about?

Having additional virtual network interfaces on VMs is completely normal, ens18 does indeed sound like the right one you should be looking at.

Seconding the other commenter who mentioned the possibility of a second DHCP server.

Is your Proxmox host wired via ethernet to the pfsense? Or are there WiFi APs in the mix anywhere

He is being childish, but if I am completely honest, it sounds like you are a little too. Not in how bothered you are by the situation (understandable), but more how you perceive it.

I totally understand wanting to just do the work and cut the meaningless chatter, but the reality is a job usually has more abstract requirements outside of specific job tasks. One of these is getting your manager to like you. Social cohesion is one of the things workplaces tend to look for.

Not every manager cares about small talk perhaps as much as yours does, but that’s the situation you are in.

My advice would be to decide on one of the following 1) work elsewhere where you can thrive without this obstacle, 2) develop the skill of faking being interested, or 3) do nothing but get frustrated and possibly miss out on promotions or similar.

Wishing you the best, from a socially inept person with autism who relates to that dread, haha.

“centred around” is a subjective projection rather than statement of a fact in cases where gamete production genuinely does not occur. For this person, her gonads never developed into either testes or ovaries, so by this definition she would be of neither sex. I’m OK with that, but it does undermine your point about the strict binary.

My question to you is why does this matter, in the context of accessing bathrooms and changing rooms? Do you think inspecting reproductive anatomy is a proportionate measure?

More broadly speaking, what is the point of recording the ‘biological sex’ of a person who, through transition, has changed their physiology and endocrine profile to that associated with the opposite, and no longer has their natal reproductive anatomy? Who would this benefit?

…nope. Her body can’t produce either. And she has a uterus and fallopian tubes.
