  • Absolutely - I was going to say, Spain is head and shoulders above the UK for LGBT safety (those are the only two countries I've spent a lot of time in recently).

    Also worth noting, I've been in the non-touristy parts of north Vietnam for a month now (much more conservative than the south), and having talked to quite a few LGBT people here, it's safe to live as an openly queer person, they just occasionally have to put up with assholes ... just like everywhere else. And as a guiri, even the assholes don't want to confront me, an obviously queer woman.

  • This is fantastic, thank you <3

  • There's an extra bedroom in those, to keep your stereotypes in

  • Do you want to be a negative and judgemental person?

  • Because Northern Ireland is part of the UK politically, but part of Ireland geographically

  • I like the way this this is drawn - the caption could be from the POV of anyone in the picture

  • PSA

    Jump
  • Holy shit that's horrible. Fuck.

  • Rule 2: When diplomacy fails, the only solution is violence.

  • Literally the plot of the comic Mage and Demon Queen.

    Which is also really good and a complete story, so you should go read it.

  • The latter most of the time, but then I moved to a semi-tropical climate and learned to live with the former for half the year ... after the first month of flip-flops I don't really notice them any more, so I guess it can't really be that bad

  • Oh yeah, last year my workplace had a dip in business for several months, and I've never felt so exhausted at the end of the day so consistently.

    I'm now working on a big project, which has put me thoroughly out of my comfort zone, and I feel great (when I'm not terrified)

  • I live in Spain, we have them on most of the pumps ... on the nozzle is a new form of horrible to me, though!

  • Serious reply - this was the development plane, so was jamb-packed full of extra info which wasn't present on the final version.

    IIRC it's at Duxford Air Museum, in the UK. Fun fact, I once went there dressed as Tank Girl with my then-girlfriend as Jet Girl. Expected to be asked to leave, but actually had positive feedback from quite a few people :-)

  • I just got a new phone when my old be crapped out on me while in Vietnam, and the local guy I found who deals in cash only had iphones or Samsungs. So, I held my nose and got a Jump2.

    I've been through, disabled as much as possible, added fdroid stuff for all the daily use things, and put a killswitch VPN on.

    Seems to be doing alright ... I'm not obsessive about security, and I need Play Store stuff for work, so this is about as good as it gets, lol

  • Not unusual apparently, especially in women.

    I used to have an apple every day with my lunch, and then one day my apple turned out to be very spicy ... followed by a whole raft of other foods in quick succession

  • Ah, yes. As someone who developed a shopping-list's worth of allergies after turning 35, I guess I couldn't even conceive of a different interpretation

  • "Just an allergy" :-/

  • Or you could just chuck AROS on a bootable thumbdrive.

    I have my old Amiga hard drive image with Workbench 3.9, and sometimes start it up in an emulator ... it doesn't take me long to remember that guis have come a long way since the Amiga was relevant :-/

  • Oh goddess yes. Handed a revolver (cylinder out to show it was empty) to a friend who is ex-military and was a designated sharpshooter ... back in the 70s ...

    He proceeded to play with the cylinder and then flick it closed, because that's how they do it in the movies >:-(

    If you don't really know how to handle a gun you should say so, and let the owner walk you through how to handle it ... assuming they actually follow the golden rules.

  • Not the person you replied to, but I live in Spain and outside the cities there's plenty of guns around.

    Mostly for farmers / hunting / trap competition, but also old heirlooms from the civil war that are still operational ... and target shooting, which is what I do.
