    If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.












  • Ofc. Always good to choose the source that treats the consumer well. FOSS alternatives are also becoming competitive for lots of things which is great to see.

    But where you used to be able to purchase physical media it’s practically impossible now. Even physical cases of games or audio-visual are usually just packaging for an access key to stream it. It sucks that we have to rely on market force through user-based action (e.g. Helldivers vs sony). These forces simply don’t work against market caps like Microsoft or practically any commercial software (cad, sim, business management) or media service (streaming, music, etc…) where companies can leverage nigh infinite debt to overcome the user base action in favor of market growth.





  • Learn to recognize when you’re responding defensively to a statement made by those around you.

    -There wrong about me, they're the problem
    
    - I'm fine i don't bed to listen to that
    
    - etc...
    

    Think about it for a few days, once you’re over the initial emotional reaction. Be critical of your own response and contemplate the motivation for the statement

    - is it out of care for you or manipulation
    
    - Is it honest or malicious? 
    
    - Are they expressing a need?
    

    That’s when you have the greatest opportunity to grow as a person and build deeper relationships. It’s also when you have an opportunity to break your mindset and get out of malicious ones.
