Mastadon has definitely improved it's user onboarding process. When I first tried, and failed, to use it 3 years ago it was awful. Signing up a year ago was a painless process. It may not be fully ready for the mainstream just yet, but it's definitely getting there.

This is an excellent post, wonderfully illustrating the topic. I'm a cis-gay man who's ex had her egg hatching when I was with her, so I've seen these realisations close up. I've also had several self realisations that have gone through these same processes. The first when I initially realised I was gay at 12 years old, starting bodybuilding at almost 40 years old and coping with the body dismorphia that comes with it, and most recently, through tictok videos, realising I have ADHD.

As the writer says in her conclusions, these comics and experiences can absolutely relate to cis people as well as trans, as at one point or another, we will go through a dramatic realisation about ourselves we didn't expect. Often this is because we finally have the language we needed to have this realisation, and this is why creating diverse spaces is good for everyone.

Having spoken to so many people about this subject over my many years on this planet, the number of people that would actually want a revolution is so low that it's effectively zero. They don't want that kind of change. Having seen how resistant people are to give up their cars for the sake of their children's future, do you really think people would give up their many comforts to remove capitalism from the world? Fuck no would they.

But simple, small, understandable changes to the current system are much more agreeable. When I've suggested a cooperative approach, even the most resistant to change agrees that it would improve the situation for themselves, and that's a change that can be worked with, without others perceiving that change as coming from an absolute loon.

As others have said in this very thread, the western world is so resistant to revolution that the very idea of it will always be fringe. But cooperatives have been demonstrated to work, they just need to be applied to a much larger degree. It's understandable to the majority, it doesn't rock the boat too much, it's a feasible approach and it removes power from the top and returns it to the workers.

Abolishing capitalism will never happen in our lifetime, so you have to think smaller but more effective. What needs to happen is moving to a cooperative based capitalism, where a company or corporation is owned by all of the workers, with protection of independent unions. This will very quickly reduce the divide between the rich and the poor, as well as closing the gap between productivity and wages that has worsened since the 70's.

Do I expect this to happen? Fuck no. But it has a much higher chance than the abolition of capitalism, and has more support amongst people I've spoken to over the years when I've suggested it as a path forward.

I worked for one of the biggest tech companies in the UK, we used Thinkpads for our dev work. They're solid machines with good specs and excellent warranties. Big companies love them.

Then you and me are among the few who could play it!

They need to also invest heavily in public transport, make buses free to use, and restructure train ticket prices so that they are not going up each year unnecessarily. Encourage people out of their cars, give them less reason to use them.

From what I heard, this is the result of risk aversion. The poor editing is because they cut out a lot of the violence that was shot and didn't have anything to fill the runtime with, hence the reshoots. I can't wait for the inevitable What Happened on this film to see how bad it was.

But then wouldn't you also need to look at the temperature of the hospital/building they are in? Or the air pressure? Wouldn't that have a bigger effect on them seeing as the building would protect the baby from the weather outside?
