I think I just figured it out, hang on with me.

It'd be the tech literate person in the family. The nephew that's working as a programmer or something like that. Now, if that nephew has some interest in stealing their uncles money, they now have access to their bank account through a freely rooted phone.

This gives them a lot of options, which I don't have to explain.

Given that a lot of scams actually happen between presumed family and friends...

Yeah I kinda get why banks are doing this

You're the reason we need this flag.

The union jack shows a prime example of the opposite

As a trans person who's been harassed and excluded at an LGBT event, I don't feel represented by a rainbow at all anymore. Go do your thing LGB, since I'm not welcome I'm doing mine. If you show me that I'm allowed to be part of you (by putting my thing back into yours) I'm coming back.

There is no racism against whites, idiot. You aren't being denied jobs, getting houses, being shot by the police for no reason, or being harassed on the streets openly because you're white.

Stop bitching around and deal with the fact that you're not a king/queen/monarch anymore you absolute moron.

Sorry for the tone, but this shit pisses me off.

Killing Void Creatures by invoking the power of thunderstorms.

Thinking about it, probably either an illegal rave party or an illegal epilepsy test

us trans people try to do that, but we're constantly being told not to

Hell yeah!! I've been playing the old version quite a lot and had hell of a blast with it! I'm looking so forward to this (even though I'll definitely wait a week for reviews before jumping in blindly)

elektronische Tanzmusik. Es kommt von "Hardcore", der schnelleren Variante des noch etwas bekannteren "Hardstyle".

Bei Metal isses spezifisch "Harcore Punk", wovon die ganzen "-core" genres hergeleitet wersen (bei welchen ich auf Teufel komm raus spontan auch nur metalcore und deathcore kenne, könnten die einzigen gängigeren Hardcore Punk Genres sein)

little late but I kinda feel like responding:

The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the "rooms", so they're a bit secluded.

You're brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.

If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.

No idea about toilets, but I think you'd also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they've been offering "sleeping in the hey" kinda things since years, so for them, it's pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.

The person who noticed that the Proud Boys were coming to town and rallied people to a counter-protest? Definitely a leader

Nahh you got that wrong. What usually happens is that a lot of people who are into politics (which left-extreme people often are) hear about this at the same time (through some press release, some proud boys twitter account who's rallyin their followers, etc.).

From that point the information spreads over friendsgroups, small discords, tweets, whatsapps, in person, slowly but steadily.

Any left-extreme person who hears this immediately thinks "I'm mad, I wanna show those guys that they're not welcome". Granted, some of us think about much more extreme things, but back to the point. The first reaction from that thought is often "is there a counter protest?". People are then doing the same thing but the other way around, as now everyone is trying to find some tweet, event, whatsapp message screenshot, whatever, of someone saying where the meeting point for an event would be. If none are found, someones gonna create something, which is usuqlly someone who's got a lot of connections with other left-extremists. Often there's multiple people creating the same counterprotest, which gets super messy at times, but somehow everyone manages to meet up in some general spot.

Worst case you just have a bunch of friends groups going to the meeting spot of wherever the initial event is happening.

That's "the antifa". A massive network of friends and friends of friends of friends who are all pretty aligned in their political views (which is "fuck Nazis") but who often don't know more then 5 other antifacists.

Swiss here, no it isn't. Here's a (german) overview of a few "openair hotels": https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144

 

I feel like I need to get this off my chest...

I started transitioning 5 years ago and at this point, I 100% pass, except for voice and a very slight beard shadow (that for some reason no one but me notices).

I feel completely scared about Lesbian spaces, and Cis women in particular. The few times I went out there (which was in the first 2 years of my transition), I've had horrible experiences.

It ranges from a few agonizing glances you get occasionally, up to outright comments about "this is a women only space btw".

I've also often noticed how cis lesbians seem to treat me differently when it comes to romantical and sexual interest. The moment it's revealed that I'm trans, things seem to shift. "Oh, I've never tried this", "oh, that's interesting, kinda", quite often there's the question about bottom surgery ("this might be a bit intimate to ask, but..."), and sometimes even outright ghosting or immediate disinterest.

I feel like this is the last, and yet hardest mountain to climb, to the point where I just feel too frustrated to even try, accepting the fact that, well... I will probably always remain a trans woman, and won't fit in to those societies that I so heavily relate to when I can keep my pseudonimity.

And yeah, T4T is a thing, it's pretty much the only thing I got going at this point...

Can anyone relate? Has anyone managed to overcome this hurdle?
