  • Mom’s side of the family is Catholic and my dad’s side is super reserved, so I got nothing. Anything I know comes from school health classes (which were actually really informative) and the internet.

    My mom also believes that this sort of thing shouldn’t be taught in schools (at all) because it should be up to the parents to decide what their kids should know about the subject. She also says that her parents never taught her anything.



  • Okay, so for some context .ml is run by the Lemmy devs and the devs are openly tankies (authoritarian communists). .ml, along with Lemmygrad (also run by the devs) and Hexbear are known as the Tankie Triad. While not as bad as the other two, .ml still has a lot of tankies compared to instances that aren’t part of the triad. Additionally, .ml used to be the recommended instance (until .world came along), making it one of the more populated instances. Most other instances defederate with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, but not necessarily .ml.

    Basically, there’s a lot of extremely opinionated and often combative people there and provoking them (intentionally or not) is very easy.

    That’s my understanding of the situation anyway.

    I have a Thinkpad T480 that I’m very happy with. I believe it’s around 7 or 8 years old, but it works great. Unlike most laptops, it doesn’t have soldered RAM, so it’s easily upgraded. One downside is that most units don’t come with a lot of storage, so you’ll probably want to get a larger drive. I spent around $200 on mine plus another $100 for the SSD. It’s a great inexpensive laptop that’ll last for years.






  • A flashcart is definitely the best option for compatibility. Just one thing you should know about playing GBA on a DS or 3DS is that it lacks an extension port, so any link cable functionality is out of the question. As for the screen, the DS(i) has a slightly higher resolution, so there’ll be a black border around the picture, but no stretching or anything. The 3DS has a much higher resolution screen and by default it scales the image up, but not to a whole number and that makes it blurry. The 3DS does that to DS games too, but can play in the original resolution by holding Start or Select when launching a game (you would need to do this every time, but I think there’s a way to make it permanent with custom firmware).
