Are you talking about medically delaying puberty? You’re aware that’s done with cis kids more often than trans kids, right?

I don’t see how it’s child abuse when prescribed to a minor with gender dysphoria, but totally fine when it’s a minor with precocious puberty.

For many trans people, having the option to postpone irrevocable changes brought on by puberty has massive mental health benefits for the rest of their lives. I feel like you have to be pretty jaded and dismissive to just categorize that as abuse out of hand.

There are currently no democratic politicians worse than trump, so it didn’t really need to be specified.

They aren’t native to all of North America. Here in the Pacific Northwest they’re an invasive species that ate all the native turtles to extinction. That said, I do think they’re cute. At least they’re helping us fight tick infestations.

People will hate on this, but what other breakfast cereal contains dental X-rays in every crunch?

According to the supreme court they can, as long as breaking the law was an official act.

I don’t know exactly what the limits of his powers are, but at the most extreme couldn’t he blockade the homes of the conservative justices, preventing them from fulfilling their duties? If any official act is immune, why not go all the way? I guess it could get him impeached, which probably wouldn’t be great for November, but it feels like something has got to give at this point, these rulings have been beyond the pale.

Wouldn’t the correct move be to immediately prove why such a ruling is asinine? Use official powers to reform the court, new court removes dangerous ruling asap, guard rail repaired.

What were the war crimes in Korea? I would have thought Vietnam would be an easier example. Though admittedly I don’t know much about the Korean war.

They said most influential in the past 100 years, the civil war was 160 years ago.

100 years ago everyone had the right to vote (though Jim Crow laws limited voting access in many states for people of color, something that’s beginning to be reimplemented to an extent).

I think FDR might have been more influential, but he won in a landslide. Trump got millions fewer votes than his opponent and only won by a couple thousand votes in certain swing states. I think in the past 100 years it was probably the most influential presidential election in the sense that so few votes held so much influence on history.

Thank you!

I just added a feature where you can select whichever icon you want by editing the text file in .config/prideicon/lastselected

Just make it one line of text with the absolute path to the icon (.png on Linux, .ico on Windows) then restart the program.

Done. Thanks for reminding me.

I wasn’t sure where to post it. It looked like this community had a decent number of posts showing off open source projects, so I figured it would fit in.

It seemed like other people were sharing their open source projects here. If it’s against the rules I can post it somewhere else.

People in the Linux community were just having a laugh at Windows users who were unable to remove an icon, then some people were saying how they actually wanted a pride icon on their panel, so I wrote a simple python script and shared it.

Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so I decided to polish up the project and share it again. I’m not expecting it to change the world, I just thought some people out there might enjoy it.

EDIT: it’s not a random executable, the source code is right there, you can compile it yourself if you like.

It’s an open source project.

You’re free to pick whichever one you prefer.

My money is on the Emu War

Connected to the month of June?

Doesn’t it depend on the war? A lot of good allied soldiers died defeating the Nazis, but a lot of good would-be Nazis also found ways to avoid service.

Every draft dodger in the invading nation is one less soldier you need to defend against.

Okay, but swinging at third party people does nothing to sway them, tends to do the opposite, and tires you out. It’s like punching your own dick instead of your opponent in a boxing match.
