It is so strange to me that gender being a social construct remains a controversial take in society. It feels like we're backsliding.

I learned this 17 years ago in sociology class at a public school. I then made a portrait series I titled Gender Spectrum and presented it at my small town county fair for 4H. I got a blue ribbon. None of this was weird or even remotely political, it was just me applying a bit of scientific knowledge from school to an art piece.

Cool, so I probably want mastodon and lemmy accounts, which I already have. But I'll try to avoid making new accounts if they aren't necessary. Are there any worthwhile sites that are compatible with lemmy?

Thank you. I was frustrated when I found a community from lem.ee and couldn't log on to lem.ee with my current account. Now I see that I can search it up even though I am on lemmy.world.

I'm glad this community is here because I feel very stupid. I've seen videos likening the fediverse to email and phone networks. Some of what I've seen implies that not only are lemmy instances connected but lemmy instances can also be connected with mastodon, peertube, and others. Is this true? How to I connect to other instances or even other platforms?

I am putting my small amount of hope in the inability of the federal government to get anything done.

Joe Biden ends re-election campaign in c/news@lemmy.world

Younger, healthier, charismatic, great on camera, focused in stressful situations. Also, she'll be great at dealing with congress because she is so experienced with dicks and assholes.

I'll be there in November!

Side note, maybe we can have Riley Reid for the candidate?

Yep, I'll pokemon go to the polls now. Harris would not be my first pick, but it would be dumb for me to demand that biden step down and still not vote when my demand is met.

Democrats have listened to their voters and they deserve to be rewarded for that.

Well, the shooter was a registered republican. So it is still seeming possible.

Tech companies avoid regulation by acting like Sovereign Citizens (lemmy.world)
 

Sov Cit - I'm not under your jurisdiction. driving is a commercial activity, I am traveling and that doesn't require a license.

Big Tech - We're not a taxi company, labor laws don't apply to us. We are an app company that allows independent contractors to find customers.

Sov Cit - I am not the legal person, I am the flesh and blood living person. I do not need any identification.

Big Tech - We're a hotel network. We're a website that enables peer to peer short term home sharing. Neither we, nor the people who rent on our website should be subject to any sort of existing regulations.

Just a thought.

What would be your ideal kit of tools for a real world tricorder? (lemmy.world)
 

Smartphones are cool but they are fairly limited as far as the types of data that they can really take in. If you were putting together a kit of tools with existing technology to gather data for science and engineering which tools do you think would be most important? Here are my ideas.

  • Multimeter

  • IR camera

  • UV camera

  • Motion amplification camera

  • Microscope

  • The flipper zero or some similar hacking tool

It creeps me out how street preachers can run on full autopilot. (lemmy.world)
 

I'm a volunteer clinic defender at Planned Parenthood so i deal with street preachers a lot. This weekend a street preacher also started interfering with the crowd at the pride parade. In both cases, I primarily try to interfere, interrupt, and distract them to prevent them from harassing their targets.

I am consistently surprised by how they can just keep reciting their scripts with a thousand yard stare while crowds are shouting at them to shut up, or chanting go home, or blowing whistles in their ears. They just keep going nonstop. Admittedly a big part of why this bothers me is because of how ineffective our defense efforts often are, but it's also just really creepy. They don't react to anything. They aren't really there to have any kind of conversation. They jut space out and ramble loudly and constantly.
