Given level crossing train crash today, 2 reminders
the train always has right of way, it does not have the stopping power of a rubber tyre thing, but thats what makes them effecent
the worse disaster is the train, not the thing it hit, there are more people on a train than any road vehicle
really you should not have at grade crossings, but that takes time and investment

Hot Take
I guess my issue with no politics rules is that they themselves are inherently political as what is and isn't political is dictated by the people enforcing it.
which if there is a bigot in the mod team, leads to it being used for oppression
asking trans people "if gender isn't real, why do you want to be the other gender so bad" is like asking people "if rent shouldn't exist, why do you want rent control so badly": because we live in a society that violently enforces gender, and that makes it real. asking trans people, and only them, to pretend like gender doesn't matter, while everyone around us keeps hurting us for it, isn't fair. it's like asking tenants to not give a shit about rent while their landlord is trying to evict them.
Hey I found an open source menstrual cycle tracking app called Drip that doesn't call home to anyone and encrypts your data on your device. It's gender inclusive and it has a prebuilt version Android that you can get either on F-Droid or on their site here: https://bloodyhealth.gitlab.io
They have an iOS version but it's not pre compiled. I'll be working on that today so you can get loaded onto your Apple devices, along with the instructions to install it on said Apple device.
Please boost so others can see this!
a reminder for no particular reason that suffregerts were far more radical then we are told at school
Incompetently making computers do things • Really like methods of mass transit, especially trains so expect train photo's periodically • i sometimes boost and post lewd things (although they will be behind a CW) • Bi • you might also know me as "ioangogo"
