Because you’re focused on the visuals from a single user perspective…
It’s not been a good week tbh…
Had a very rough patch with my partner that we’re trying to work through, but it’s tough.
A lot of tears, some minor self harm, emotions on an erratic seesaw.
Weekend plans are some shopping, see my new nephew, some time with my daughters and preparations for vacation next week.
Have a lovely break! ❤️
Very much ups and downs here…
Had my assessment with my private medical cover over my gender identity wtf
Counselling sessions start this week.
Saw friends at the weekend which was nice… apart from the actual bbq being a pretty heavy disaster for my partner and me.
It is a fun game, but if you know what you’re doing it’s so exploitable to get powerful components early.
Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc
Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …
And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷♀️
Mental health is extremely important and often overlooked.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to date.
Take your time and we’ll all be here when you’re ready ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Just an FYI on the NOLF bit…
Had a lovely time at a Pride event on Saturday.
Then fell a bit poorly, to the extent my partner just pointed me at the bed and I passed out the previous two nights without raising any fuss.
Was a an enjoyable evening on Friday or drinking with my partner and one of her friends.
Then yesterday was the Edinburgh Pride march which was a heck of a lot of fun.
I think it also important to note that it wasn’t just the pricing itself, which was indeed already heinous, but that the rate calculation changed. It used to be a rate per user per app (apikey+oauth) but they changed that to just the per app … that then has a multiplicative effect on the costs and makes the “free tier” they were talking about especially pointless…
It would be easy for an app to start at free tier … not have much growth through word of mouth but enough given the per app rates to push it over boundary points … and then be due a significant and unavoidable invoice in a couple of months…
Funny in literally midpoint in a walk at the moment… though I’ve paused to get my nails done as another source of calm.
You cruel person… I hate driving through there… 🤣
Have popped into ModCoord a couple of times to check on the state of things… but haven’t been in any of my usual subs.
Need to start subscribing to specific communities here soon but for now enjoying the mix that is all/(active|hot) 😀
Although we’re no longer under the higher level EU legislation, the entirety of it was incorporated into an updated DPA during the Brexit reconciliation process.
So you could still go through the same process… and frankly Reddit won’t really know whether they need to act by it so go ahead…
Waiting on them to fulfil my GDPR data request.
One I’ve got all my data (since there was some useful stuff there over the years) I’ll follow up with the “right to be forgotten” request as well.
Yup when I migrated from Digg to reddit in the big exodus 12 years back there was a lot of chatter surrounding the whole thing… lasted a month or two as I recall… then we “refugees” settled into an integration of communities…
I expect similar to occur here.
The past week has been quite the mix of highs and lows.
Couple of rough patches with partner.
Having a very affirming experience in Ann Summers, getting my first lingerie under her guidance.
Having my referral to the gender identity clinic confirmed.
