Imagine the poor bastard who is confused about their identity. Not quite sure what’s happening. Trouble fitting in. Scared to tell anyone they know about how they’re feeling. They go online and the very first group they meet is the Ree trans mob. 

Oh hullo, you’re confused eh? How old are ye? Do ye like Taylor Swift?

[Nintex]

ResetEra keeps taking Ls

They haven't figured out Steven Mnuchin wants to buy Tik Tok right? 



Also the problem with Twitter/X is not that you get banned if you post pro-Palestine content (you don't) but that the Islamists can't use it because haram [P] [U] [S] [S] [Y]  [I] [N]  [B] [I] [O] and community notes.

[Snoopy]

Then they meet Visawife. 

Do ye need therapy? I can analyse ye if ye want. Or you could anal me if ye want. My black headmate’s presenting at the moment. Eating a lot of chicken and that eh. Do ye like Taylor Swift?

Invited a black head mate in so he could use the slang, smart move messy

Israel support AND Tiktok ban in the same bill???

Congrats to Trump on winning the 2024 election jesus CHRIST

EDIT: basically you're losing anybody under 30. Very dumb move

you know what's weird?

so, to review:

israel support + tiktok ban = massive biden loss, leftists HATE this

but also, repeal title IX protections for women = massive biden loss, right wingers and undecideds HATE this

[kaleidoscopium]

Not voting for Biden does not mean they're voting for Trump.

Of course, it's been explained multiple times that it's more than just about "their little social media app" and you've ignored all of the explainatations and context.

So if this ban wasn't passed they wouldn't have voted for him? And he should care about their opinion why?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/an-update-on-my-life-thoughts-about-graduating-with-my-phd.849447/

Some may recall that sometime last year I posted I was getting a divorce. I've had a really devastating last 9 months...fast-forward to today: it was brutal, he's an absolutely evil narcissist and it took multiple mental health professionals, friends, and family to rescue me out of a narcissistic, coercive abuse cycle from my ex. The divorce is finally finalized, but it left me financially vulnerable in a way I've never been. I've needed some good news lately. I've been doing lots of therapy to deal with the fallout/trauma of the divorce with someone I trusted with my life for 7 years that turns out they were the very worst person I could have trusted. Now I need to get a job, fast, to pay for my expenses, as 5 years of graduate student wages and life have been suffocating here in Seattle.

Well I finally got the good news I needed recently.

- My first science publication got accepted to a top 1% medical journal. It was a 9-month revision process but it's finally over and accepted. It will be published in a couple of weeks. Just have to zip them my final files.
- I had a couple more seminars left to take for my computational molecular biology certificate and I talked to the program coordinating professor and they counted some of my other credits for the seminar so I don't have anything left to take. I just got the certificate.
- I explained my circumstances to my own program coordinator and she counted another course I took as sufficient to get my the data science title on my PhD, so that worked out as well without me having to take more quarters.
- All this cleared me for getting ready for graduation.
- So I'm done with all my degree requirements.
- With all that solidified, the last thing left to do was to talk to my boss on if he was going to let me graduate this summer like I expected. I was really nervous about it but he said since I published now that I'm free to go. I'm working on a second paper and a co-authorship but I can finish that in tandem with my the rest of my life plans and graduating. It went well.
- I've registered for graduation now and scheduled my dissertation defense. It's really happening.
- I talked to a headhunter who scouted me for a position I already applied for and it looks like I'm a really good candidate, I'm hoping I can get a job offer asap. Looking for positions in Seattle currently.

Why did I write all this? Because I've been silent, on social media (because I'm paranoid about my ex snooping about my life through reconnaissance with our mutual friends), and hermited almost (my ex-spouse's abuse on my triggered an agoraphobia I've never dealt with in life before), about my life for about 9 months now but it's truly been a living hell. I needed to write out that things are turning around for me. And take a moment to acknowledge myself...I've survived a lot. I thought I wouldn't get to graduate at all. I had mused about suicide plans or just quitting everything and running away. I had been so emotionally betrayed by the divorce that I thought the daily sobbing and wailing was going to consume me forever. I thought I was going to die from the devastation of my divorce. It's the hardest thing I've ever experienced, like cutting off half my body to save the other half. I honestly did not think I would make it this far. I was very sick in December, like deathly ill literally, from recovery from weed addiction/withdrawal plus torment and abuse from my ex-spouse on his way out of my life. I had basically given up on everything. I was about to lose my home, my previous life, and I had no money and had to take on 99% of the marital debts despite me making 1/3 of his income because he refused to do an inexpensive, uncontested divorce with me unless I did so...just a lot of stress and tragedy. Alongside my family getting sick, stepfather getting dementia (the third person I've cared for with dementia that dies/will die soon of these symptoms...) and they're far away while I've been recovering in Seattle. It's been a challenging road. All while I've had to finish my PhD work or I wouldn't graduate.

Well now it's happening. I'm graduating, I'm getting that PhD, and I'll be eligible for a high-paying job soon that will rescue me from this devastating blow my ex-spouse did to my life. And hopefully I'll get to keep my house. It's exciting but I'm not used to good news in my life so part of me is anxious/doesn't believe that this is real. But I'm trying to settle into the reality that it is.

When I took care of my Colombian grandmother with dementia before she died, she used to call me her "doctor", as if to speak into existence a reality that wasn't yet so. Because I was the only grandson that cared for her and visited her, and she only had a 4th grade education, so she used to think so highly of me she would call me "Doctor".

Now I'm registered for hooding ceremonies in June and the excitement is building up. Grandma died a couple of years ago, but I dedicate my dissertation to her and my graduation to her, since I wouldn't be here without her sacrifices in her life. My dissertation defense is scheduled for mid-August and I'm looking for jobs now!

Just remember that even during the worst times, if you just survive one more day at a time, just linger one day longer in this world, each day, bad memories will fade and good opportunities will come your way, little by little, more and more each day. It's worth sticking around and seeing what life can offer you if you just survive one day, each day at a time.

And thank you to Era. If it wasn't for being able to log on and read and participate in the daily activities of this forum, the Retro Portables thread, emulation threads, occasional news threads, etc. I wouldn't have a healthy distraction from my life and I wouldn't have had nearly as much enriching conversation in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Era, for providing me a space to be me and to talk with you guys during a terrible year for myself.

It feels like I'm dreaming, but I keep waking up and it's all still there, still real.

Everything about the husband seems like an extreme case of it’s not even funny

Didn't his Ex stay with him so he wouldn't be locked down with debt while still in school?

After posting for years about all the mental health professionals he was going to including for their marriage trying to find ones that would say nothing was his fault and his husband was crazy for criticizing him ever.

deathly ill from weed withdrawal 

[Hap Shaughnessy]

Let me guess, the ex felt like Nothing Loud was just using him for money while Nothing Loud got high and slept around?

[Propagandhim]

He should have recited his academic credentials a few more times to his husband so he could really internalize what a lucky man he is.  That's what he was doing wrong.

[benji]

omg he changed his name from James Paul Johnson to Johannes Paul Johnson-Martínez ("(He/They)" btw)

Yeah this ain't it chief.

While I largely have a problem with behaviour of a lot of men, it's more of a symptom of like patriarchy shit and that shit hurts men too so I don't feel being reductive about men in discussions like this is generally helpful. However I do often have days where I am in a "fuck men" mood but that is once again frustrations with the patriarchy and specific actions of specific men, similar as to how I might have a "fuck cis people" or "fuck straights" kind of a day.
Considering to how the alt right panders to disaffected young men who are looking for direction and a big part of that can be seen as more prevailiant "fuck men" attitudes on the left, we honestly should move past this kind of discussion about men as a group.

[kaleidoscopium]

how many months we giving it until Nothing Loud comes out as a transbian?

Kind of had a lot of sex with homeless drug addict males who would steal his husbands stuff for that imo.

I completely forgot he was doing the whole "I'm Latinx" thing, so that's why he changed his name.

Your addiction to Era enabled your behavior for long, and you don’t seem to have grown at all. The fact that you are see that wasting the money you don’t have in Portable Gaming PC makes me think you are huge scumbag.

women need men because if you stop all men from being born, you are unwittingly killing off tons of actual trans women who are just being born in the wrong body

What a piece of shit. They were probably saving his husband from supporting him all his life.

without looking into what he's buying at all, a bunch of the handhelds are like $60 which isn't really enough that I'd admonish someone for spending



(of course then there's the terabyte microsd cards and the addiction to buying various models)
