    Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread
  • Another possibility is that people that don't return the cart may not be having their needs met. A person who is tired after walking across the hot parking lot may not return it out of a desire to maintain a modicum of health. Or, perhaps, they may not think about it because their cognition is temporarily hindered by hunger, exhaustion, or some other carnal need.

    On Maslow's hierarchy, I'd say if a person meets all of their physiological and safety needs they are more likely to return the cart than those who do not.

    How Can I Help With my Girlfriend's Transition Without Steering Her One Way or the Other?
  • I agree with the comments saying to talk to her about it. One thing about trans people is that we are people and you can talk to us like people, lol.

    Just imagine she's cis if you need to, and wanting these things. She wants care and treatment to be the self she wants to be. How do you handle it?

    To be honest, I think you're doing a great job so far. If you're worried about it... Just talk to her. 💖

    How supportive is your family of your transition? (Rate 1-6)
  • Mom is level 2.

    Dad is level 4-5 depending on the day.

    My wife's parents are both level 6. Haven't talked to them since we came out.

    What's the story of your name?
  • It's a very nerdy one.

    In Final Fantasy XIV, there's a race of little dudes named Lalafell. Their naming scheme makes for repeated and rhyming couples between the first and last name.

    I made a Lalafell boy years ago named Cocozan Cozan.

    After playing for a bit, my wife's character and mine got married. I decided to change my character's last name to hers, so the Cozan was gone. We always joked about the height difference, though, since I was a little guy and she was a taller race. So I joked about making the tallest character I could, which I believed at the time to be a female Roegadyn.

    We quit playing for a while and then returned to the game a few years later.

    When we came back, I decided it was time for a change and used an item that lets you change your appearance permanently. I ended up finding an old saved appearance from when I was joking about Fem Roegadyn, and just went with it.

    The name Cocozan was no longer appropriate, given the lore, but I found out I could drop the Zan and it would fit fine.

    So I became Coco.

    It was absolutely amazing being called Coco and she/her by folks online. It wasn't the only thing that did it, but the whole thing absolutely helped crack my very thick egg.

    I ended up stealing my character's name IRL, and now I have a very nerdy origin story.

    Innovation under capitalism
  • The thing that gets me is how often this sort of thing is happening all around us without us noticing. Every online purchase is bound to be doing this in some form or another. Every plane ticket, every uber ride. All designed to figure out the exact cost we're willing to pay for the service.

    I'm so tired of capitalism...

    A New Study Investigates 'The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter' To Mastodon
  • It's a shame, really. A non-centralized internet has existed before and must exist again if it's to remain useable. It's sad so many have given up because of early internet struggles. Things are even far less painful now than I remember them being in the past.

    What plot holes could be adequately explained away with a single shot or line of dialogue?
  • A little bit more emphasis during Star Wars that Vader wanted the Storm Troopers to aim poorly and let them get away. It would have solved decades of jokes and arguments about Storm Trooper weapon accuracy.

    What's a piece of media that is meaningful to your transition or coming out?
  • Animal Crossing New Horizons. Game came out right at the start of a pandemic and within two weeks I was girl moding in game.

    Took me a year and a half to understand what that meant exactly, but the game let me explore what it means for me to be femme and try on different looks.

    I probably would have figured it out without Animal Crossing, but I bet it would have taken way longer.
