There are times I'm glad to come from a small family, the drama is similar but there's just less of it.

And yeah, people do come around. I didn't talk to my mum at all for 12 years, and it was a very slow restart, whereas now she refers to my enby partner as an essential part of the family, and loves when we come to visit.

There's other relatives I cut out and don't intend on reconnecting with, but at least it wasn't all of them.

Well, that's a … win?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they invite you because they think they can "straighten you out", the garbage they believe is that all kids are straight and cis and it's down to brainwashing by the deep state Jewish space lasers that anyone would think otherwise.

For your own sake, best to stay away.

If I had to call you something, it would be "embarrassingly thoughtless to others".

Oh I agree with that completely, only babies wet their knickers at the first sign of properly gendering others.

The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn't be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.

It's where the best pizzas are raised, free range and natural as god intended. The pizza wranglers are the most talented in the world, after all you have to be something special to be able to lasso a pizza when it's at full gallop!

I grew up in a dairy farming community, drowning in slurry pits was the way to go there. Scared me witless as a kid.

Detroit: Become Human.

The demo gives you one level, playing as an android helper to the police, helping to solve a murder.

The full game really took me through the looking glass in terms of empathy. Can't really say more without significant spoilers.

That sounds cool, I kinda want a Star Trek themed bandana now …

Fair point, they're somewhat limited in patterns though aren't they? (I don't know, I'm in Europe and about the only time I've seen someone wearing a bandana they were cosplaying American bikers)

As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats … seriously, I love my hats and there's no reason dudes can't as well :-)

I also rock lots of headscarves, but that's a bit more gendered :-/

Fantastic!

I personally own an old pre-smartphone accelerometer with a built-in acceleration calculator (and what is now considered retro LED display) that pretty much works on the same principle, a free-moving arm is attached to a potentiometer to measure the angle accurately (though that only works in one direction).

The accelerometers we use for crash testing use two little crystals rubbing together, they can pick up changes as little as 0.1G but also remain accurate up to 2000G.

They assume all windows users only have one hand free at all times

Automotive testing engineer here, please tell me about your accelerometer!

She smart, she know how be best

Yeah, the firefighters here are well supplied, it's amazing that places like Canada and Australia don't have this sorted out already … and don't get me started on the lack of upkeep of electricity infrastructure causing fires in the US!

It's my density!

Yes … but that was before I volunteered!

Wow, that's a let down … I guess they were going for a contemporary look?
