Learning things

Makes sense. Betas tend to be pretty buggy.

Sad to see you go because you are pretty cool. But you gotta be good to yourself first and foremost.

I wouldn't try to force a rib hernia back in place. One wrong move, and now you have a punctured lung.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I imagine it to be quite painful.

Hernias are no joke, and ignoring it will cause all manner of complications. I know weight loss sucks, but think of it this way. You are losing weight now so you can be comfortable later. And you can always regain the weight once you are better.

Please understand that I say this with love, but your belly is not flat in the front. Idk if you have some kind of dysmorphia, but you are not perceiving your body as it is.

I think it is up, seeing that you can start or schedule a stream. However, it's in Beta, so it's probably buggy.

You don't need an account to access the forums, although you do need one to access certain site areas or to post. The forums are open to the public.

Yes, actually. You would be.

I'm all for acknowledging system issues, but you cannot ignore the impact of individuals. Focusing on one over the other is, as you like to say, illogical and stupid.

Take FF, for example. This place used to be rife with lots of bigots. Misogynists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, and more. Lotta fucked shit. It was very systematized. This is not to say FF condoned the behavior per se, but seeing that the site owner is an older white British man, there were a lot of blind spots.

You know what changed it? Individual members confronting other individual members. Some changed, some left, and some stopped posting gross things as much. And as people grew unified in standing up for the vulnerable, the system changed.

And this is why you specifically are getting the pushback you are getting. Focusing on systemic issues while overlooking individual actions exonerates the individuals (even if that's not what you meant to do) and strengthens the system. In your efforts to play "enlightened scholar," you are propping up a system that FF as a whole is trying to leave behind.

I am deathly curious. I won't start a livestream for obvious reasons, but I wonder if anyone else has attempted to use it.

I've clicked on the livestream option on the site menu several times out of curiosity, but I never see anything there.

And if you have used it, what's it like?
