Comment on How much of an echo chamber is Reddit/the internet, really? in ~tech
Sunbutt23 Link ParentI’ve noticed in the past year (and I’m guilty of this) shorter and less thoughtful answers creeping into tildes. I continually vote for conversational answers and topics though 🤷I’ve noticed in the past year (and I’m guilty of this) shorter and less thoughtful answers creeping into tildes.

(My terms might be wrong) or the other way...Forgive my ignorance: *describes trans women today *— I have very little experience in the space — is this assigned female at birth but express as male? (My terms might be wrong) or the other way around? Assigned male at birth and express as female?
I could look it up, but I learn better from others.

Sunbutt23 Link ParentCan I pick man and cisgender? I think that’s right? Assigned male at birth and I’m still there now. Forgive me if it sounds like I’m being rude, I honestly haven’t followed the terms closely...Can I pick man and cisgender? I think that’s right? Assigned male at birth and I’m still there now. Forgive me if it sounds like I’m being rude, I honestly haven’t followed the terms closely enough to know. This is genuine curiosity.

Go order some at the counter.” And unfortunately when I said “Pardon ma francaise je sais seulement un petit peu. Parlez vous englaise peut-etre?” They said “non” with a smile and it was all downhill (from an embarrassment standpoint) from there.
What did help actually was staying in a dairy farm outside Brussels: the farmer spoke English, Flemish, and French. They were much more forgiving of my lack of vocab and even complimented me. Did wonders for my confidence.

Sunbutt23 Link ParentI took 12 years in school in the US. So I learned “high French” as I like to call it. I speak so flowery that even parisians get confused: “ou se trouve les toilettes?” But if you’re asking...I took 12 years in school in the US. So I learned “high French” as I like to call it. I speak so flowery that even parisians get confused: “ou se trouve les toilettes?”
But if you’re asking accent, I have a thick French accent. Like someone trying to speak English with a British accent 🫠

Sunbutt23 Link ParentI can start a conversation after careful planning and rehearsing. Then I forget the vocab or a gender, get flustered, power through, and stop listening when the other speaker responds. ;-; But I...I can start a conversation after careful planning and rehearsing.

But I was able to make it through two weeks in Belgium and France so I got something right?

Sunbutt23 LinkI guess I’ll start the thread for the States. California checking in.I guess I’ll start the thread for the States. California checking in.
It’s been the toughest part of my life so far. I’ve gone through the depths of suicidal ideation and the highs of “I missed you daddy!”
For me it’s a daily struggle of keeping these damn things alive and trying to feel like I’m doing a good job. It’s very easy to look back at the end of the day and remember all the things I got wrong. All the ways I could’ve done better. I rarely if ever feel like I’m being a great father.
Which I say so that my wish to all you fathers out there has some context: Happy Father’s Day! I hope you feel like a great father ~~ today ~~ every day!
