Yup, and likely not the recent past, say ten years plus
Imo, you aren't going to notice any issues regarding speeds
The t480 is still pretty damn solid for the exact reasons you said. Unless you're going to be doing some crazy stuff where you'd need a more potent device to begin with, it'll serve most needs.
Mine is similarly specced, and handles even some video editing and photo editing without any problems at all. I can play games on it, assuming they aren't batshit. And, I can have a dozen windows open and flip between them with no lag at all.
The battery upgrade is a must, in my book. The regular version is okay, but the extended lets you work on documents all day, while also playing music. That's pretty damn nice.
My homie, I'm going to quote here
drag's pronouns are very consistent
That sentence is drag as a possesive noun. The 's means that the "pronouns" word right after the 's is possessed by drag.
You don't say, in English, I's pronouns, or mine's pronouns, or my's pronouns. You would only say my pronouns. My is the singular possessive of the self.
Like, I have mad respect for you, you make people think, and you handle the bullshit with grace. If you're going to make it work, you kinda have to choose between following english grammar and structure in a way that communicates clearly, or expect confusion followed by anger. When you try to explain your choices to people, you fall back on incorrect grammar. It makes it look like you're fucking with people rather than explaining.
Now, if you want to do that, that's cool. You can make that choice freely. I'm not trying to change your mind, or get you to do things the way everyone else does. But that's why you get anger.
Again, I dig you. I've enjoyed seeing you around lemmy. This isn't an attack. I'm just trying to explain what other people have said already, but in a slightly different way, since you seem to not see where the anger is coming from. It could be a language barrier, I dunno.
Well, no, transphobia is a specific thing with a fairly well defined set of limits. You can't apply it willy nilly. Well, you can, but it not only won't achieve anything, and it waters down the term.
Go through their history, look at the comments. Any venom towards dragonrider is because of the dissonance of the terminology, not because they're trans. Which, have they even said they're trans before now? I haven't checked every single post and comment. This is the first time I've seen them mention it.
Neo pronouns aren't just a cis thing with it being confusing. Trans people get confused about it too, and some directly object to it being lumped into trans rights at all because the struggle for acceptance of established pronouns is already fraught with difficulty, and outright danger. IDGAF, though I'm not wasting my time adjusting my keyboard settings to capitalize it, or translating every single pronoun to drag. More power to anyone. But dragonrider asked something, and I gave the best response I could to it.
They genuinely seem confused why people get angry with them, and the post seemed to be wanting discussion about that. The truth is that people think drag is trolling because it's inconsistently applied, and doesn't follow grammatical structures. Regardless of what anyone thinks, you can't just redraw the grammar of an entire language and think people are going to play along.
Seriously, have you not seen drag around lemmy? The heat they're taking is directly because of the confusion around the weird choice and the explanation not matching what they write. Nobody is all "oh, you're trans, you suck, go away".
I mean, c'mon dragon rider, you have to realize that the inconsistent way you use drag as pronoun makes it confusing as hell, even to the best intentioned
And the choice of it as a pronoun is a hard sell to begin with. Neopronouns are pig dubious value, and a ton of people will point out that it makes it harder for trans people to be taken seriously against an already douche filled world. With it also being part of your screen name, the entire thing looks like a troll attempt.
Hell, I'm not certain you aren't trolling, and I enjoy seeing you around, making people think.
Truth? If you stuck to replacing gendered pronouns, you wouldn't run into the confusion. Replacing I with drag really, really doesn't work grammatically since drag is part of dragon rider. I, my, mine, they just aren't the same as gendered pronouns, and when you're wanting people to ignore a lifetime of speaking english with the rules of grammar as they are and replace self referential pronouns with a random word that's only for you, I'm surprised you haven't ended up banned across lemmy.
Seriously, you seem cool as fuck. But choosing to apply drag to I, me, mine, and then using drag's, which is a third person possessive, it just isn't ever going to end. You'll always have someone confused as the best case scenario. You could be the most awesome person on the planet, and the dissonance of being expected to adapt to inconsistent rules using an awkward word is offputting enough to make it not worth the effort of communication with you. If I had to try and remember to insert drag for every "you" in this, I would have quit entirely. It just isn't realistic to expect the majority of people to automatically obey your arbitrary rules.
What you're experiencing isn't transphobia, period. It's the dissonance of choosing a random word as a pronoun and expecting people to know what you're saying.
I mean, that's kinda how it works when playing 1 on 1 with no audience and one player misses moving into check, and the opponent misses too.
And there's plenty of people that play with no check at all. You don't have to announce it, it's on the player to detect and counter.
I prefer check being absent in casual, friendly games unless they're so friendly that you're also notifying the other player of missed opportunities or mistakes. Which is, imo, the optimum way to play with friends that aren't at the same skill level, or are very closely matched to the point that the game is going to drag on when there's limited time to play.
Absolutely the hardest part was the shrinking. Most of the damage, I had access to both sides of the panel. Which means you can use a hammer and a block thing called a dolly. But you have to hold the dolly on one side and hammer on the other. Which is awkward as hell. It's slow work, or was for me; I suppose a pro can go faster. And you have to be careful because if you overdo it, you can end up hardening the metal and end up with cracks.
All the videos and tutorials say to practice on some scrap sheet metal, but I didn't have any, so it was trial by fire.
This was back in the summer, but my left shoulder is still being pissy about the positions I was in to reach the dolly to the middle of the roof and still see what I was hitting with the hammer.
Tbh though, it was much simpler than I thought. There's plenty of good tutorials out there,and the concepts aren't complicated at all, it's the skill that's fiddly and detailed.
Body work on my car.
I'm poor as fuck and had tree branches fuck me up. Decided I'm not willing to deal with the bullshit of finding a new one, especially with all the bullshit privacy invasion on top of buying the damn thing.
So, I borrowed tools, looked shit up, and while the car isn't fully dent free or anything, it was good enough to replace windows and you have to get close to see the warping that's left.
Took my crippled ass damn near two weeks because I could only work maybe a half hour, 45 minutes at a go once or twice a day. And I wasn't working fast.
While it was much simpler than I thought it would be, those auto body pros deserve their damn pay. Shit is hard physically. Just replacing the side mirror had my back cramping and spasming for hours after, even with meds. And that was the easiest job involved.
Dunno that I learned enough to exactly say it's a true skill, since it really only applies to my car, and the kind of damage done, but the parts of the frame that were bent are back in line, and the dents that needed shrinking are damn near invisible, which I'm proud as fuck of.
The painting sucks though lol. Couldn't get a good sprayer on loan, and the one I could get was a bitch about not giving an even coat. The blending is not great. Visible from even a dozen feet away. A few drips too. But I ain't worried about that with a car that's damn near twenty years old.
Dunno what the hell I would have done without good neighbors and friends loaning me the gear. No way could I have afforded rental for the air compressor after the supplies cost, parts, and glass. Came out to a few hundred all told, but the estimate was damn near 1.2k
Man, if you're throwing rizz for three months, you ain't throwing rizz.
It isn't an either/or proposition. There's multiple ways to both have a viewing and keep a body from getting deep into decomposition, and there's really no issues with the face automatically becoming grotesque. It really isn't an every time thing. It isn't even a majority of the time, when the body is kept cool enough. Pinning isn't the only option for keeping a mouth closed either.
People have done in home wakes way longer than the funerary industry has existed. There's plenty of options available.
Plenty, actually. Any intro to philosophy text will cover the basics. This is the first one that came up via ddg search. and it covers the essential stuff. Add in some critical thinking, and you're good to go

I mean, when they're expressing frustration at people responding in anger, and there's a significant portion of that anger that stems from poor grammar, I would say it's totally on topic to talk about the semantics of words, particularly when the post is inaccurately pointing towards a cause for the anger that isn't accurate, based on things people have said in the open.
