During one of the news cycles, I accidentally clicked to view a pic and it was of a lady slumped over in her car with a gunshot wound in her head and was like "nope, I'm good. Absolutely fuck all of this and everyone who supports it."

I can't fucking imagine that but 20000 times.

What is a real girl anyway?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Assuming social pressure wasn't a factor, what would you like to be? Where does the center of your soul gravitate?

when it became known that I had “feelings for them” it seems like I stopped being one of their “girl friends.”

It's difficult to maintain friendships where attraction is asymmetrical. Most people don't have the maturity to get it under wraps and it tends to seep into every interaction regardless of gender. I don't know enough to say that your friend's internal transphobia is shining through but in general romantic feelings just complicate otherwise simple transactions.

I mean we can't say she wouldn't have reacted similarly whether or not you were a "real" girl in her eyes.

The "sending a message" narrative was one of the narratives used to explain ancaptain 's popularity in early elections too.

It's definitely changed. Nerds of old were warning others about "walled gardens" long before the internet had mass appeal. Back then there were actual websites with few intrusive scripts, there were journals that you could customize to feel like your own space, services for you to have a personal page, scientists and engineers publishing stuff for free because they felt like it.

Nowadays I only really stick around the fediverse because it retains that old feel, and neocities!

Nepal's communist parties join forces to form a new coalition government

Full TextKATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepal’s two largest communist parties joined forces to form a new coalition government on Monday that will also include smaller parties as partners.

Maoist party leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal will remain prime minister a year after he was elected to the office.

Dahal has ended his partnership with the Nepali Congress party, the largest group in parliament, and is now joining forces with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), the second-biggest party led by Khadga Prasad Oli.

Dahal appointed three new ministers on Monday who were sworn in to office by President Ram Chandra Poudel in Kathmandu. The Cabinet is expected to be expanded through negotiations between the new partners in the coalition government.

Dahal’s party is the only third-largest group in the 275-seat House of Representatives, the lower house of parliament.

However, he was chosen as prime minister last year after the general election with the support of the largest political party. That partnership lasted for a year.

In the previous election in 2017, Dahal and Oli had combined their parties and won the election. Oli became the prime minister, but halfway through the five-year tenure, their partnership ended.

Political stability has remained elusive for Nepal, which has had 13 different governments since 2008, when the centuries-old monarchy was abolished and the Himalayan nation turned into a republic.

It'll be funny if entire sectors of the economy are propped up by fragile AI infrastructure and it all collapses on its own.
