I guess you need cat ears to be a fast furry transfem.

I don't want to put forth this as a diagnosis of your particular situation, but as someone who's been through similar work situations (being made redundant from what I though of as a reasonably secure position through no fault of my own), I want to ask if you think it could be the speed at which you were summarily fired and then the difficulty finding a new job in today's economy that was a shock to your previous sense of security?

If, like me, possibly now you realize that it can all just be suddenly taken away from you. You might feel on-edge constantly.

Being constantly wary and worried all the time can be quite draining and leave you exhausted. Especially if this new job is better than the old one. Trying to be always on-guard to make sure you don't do anything that could upset this new utopia and lose it all could be wearing you down.

It might just be that it'll take you a while to start to feel secure again in your new position, where you begin to feel like you're a valued member of the team and that you won't be the first to go if there's something you do wrong. To start to let your guard down.

A lot of regaining some sense of job security would involve seeing how the new company deals with other people who work there, do they give second chances, how much do they work with the other employees to resolve situations, what kind or relationships you build with your bosses etc.

Anyhow, something to think about.

I have a clamshell "z flip 6" prior to that I also has the 3 and before that the 2.

I'm extremely clumsy and always drop my phone. Prior to these flips, my primary reason for upgrading was that I cracked the screen. I've never once cracked the screen on my flip because it's always inside and the case covers the entire outside when folded.

I also haven't observed any issues with the hinge area cracking on any of them. Not sure if I'm just lucky. But I do tend to sit there and stim opening and closing the phone repeatedly so I don't think it's due to my usage.

My partner is a mad keen photographer and has the fold out tablet style one and loves the big screen for viewing photos and websites, but I like the little one because it fits in my tiny pockets and purses.

Except perhaps a couple of the children.

I'm guessing the perpetrators would be hiding in plain sight as so-called "devout Christians".

Upstanding, hard-working right wing supporting, bible toting, free speech espousing, minority hating bigots. With not even enough empathy for people other than those that look and believe the same as them to fill a thimble.

People who dehumanise "other" humans

This is exactly where believing that others are less than you and your ilk leads to... A belief that because the other is lesser they don't deserve compassion or respect. That others are just tools for use to make their own life better.

Where it leads is unless you look the same, have the same or better income, looks, power. If they determine you have a "lesser" gender/sex, If their religion says that you are to obey them, then they get to withhold empathy from you.

And these (probably) triple trumpers are now sitting in cells bewildered, wondering why this happened to them, how it could have happened to them.

Heatherhorns actually made our Shonky mascot for Blåhaj Zone, so good eye!

Just saying, but there's a hi-res shonky pie at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/static/media/ShonkySide.webp but what you've done here is totally shonky enough. So good job.

I mean I can relate.

I sold my car at loss because I couldn't abide the fascist shit he was flinging around everywhere.

Despite loving the car itself, I couldn't love myself owning it and being a moving advertisement for him.

I still hate that I gave money to fund a person's decline into being a drug addled, woman hating, Russia supporting, stingy-assed, election rigging, right wing megalomaniac.

What's really interesting is when people take an actual lawn mower like the Kei class Honda Beat with its 3 cylinder 7k RPM mid chassis engine and engine swap it with a 200HP motorbike engine to get one of the most insane sleeper cars of all time.

I used to have a VW Polo that had turbo upgrade, full muffler refit, high flow cat, pod filter, tuned ecu, upgraded brakes, tires, adjustable suspension. This little thing looked like a basic nothing. Stock standard white paintjob piece of rubbish, sitting silent at the lights. Until you punched the pedal, then it'd roar like a dragon and take off like a damn rocket. It wasn't anywhere near as good as my Golf R overall, but it was a stupidity fun little go-cart.

You don't have to, your existing account will work perfectly fine.

But on the other hand, we're not rationing them out based on how many you already have either!

Go to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/link for a code you can use to get instant registration approval.

From what I understand (and note that this is unsubstantiated, because we just simply don't have the same size userbase/activity here), while lemmy is fairly good, piefed is supposedly even better.

The caveat here is of course that over time, software maturity and changes in prioritization of features (sacrificing efficiency for functionality or ease of use usually) results in certain decisions being made that affect the resource requirements.

It happened with lemmy (it used to be way more efficient than it is now), and it will happen to piefed too.
