People don't usually tell other people they are confused and have a mental illness while referring to something every major medical organization in the country agrees is part of the normal pattern of variation that humans experience.

I get what you're trying to say and I guess it's my fault for being delicate about it, but I am trans and that doesn't mean I'm delusional and conversion therapy wouldn't "fix" me no matter how many priests suggest it.

People that I love who I want to keep in my life are proving incapable of accepting who I am.

I have a lot of other friends and family, so I'm not without people to talk to, but it's pretty hard to have your spouse and parents and priest so tell you that you need to get mental help and figure out what's real, after you've been getting help and are on the road to accepting yourself...

I mean isn't it always?

It's technically illegal to make a copy of that data for yourself and then to sell the original (while keeping the copy). That obviously doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but...

For real. It would obviously be better if they didn't use such destructive and predatory practices, but "vote with your dollars" isn't an option for a lot of the people these businesses earn most of their money from.

It turns out that there is, in fact, a case to be made for regulation and labor organizations in these situations.

How about the fact that I literally cannot afford to house and feed my family with me and my wife working a useful job like teaching, so instead I'm driving around delivering pizzas because otherwise we would be out of money?

That is shitty. My heart goes out.

I hope you get through that.

Depression sucks, but it doesn't last forever and there's people who care about you, whether you think so or not.

I mean I did tell you which one. I just didn't tell you how to find it.

Well, it's a specific example, even if I didn't give any way to test it. Better than just saying "some websites don't work" since I'm actually indicating the particular one that doesn't.

I guess your two options are to trust that I'm acting in good faith when I say it or to assume I might not be and disregard the example. Either way doesn't affect me much; I've already submitted tickets to the service asking for Firefox support, so with any luck it won't even be an issue for too long.

I mean, yeah. I'm none too bothered by that one, but it's still an example.

Oh, and I can't seem to get tiktok videos to play on Firefox on Android? Not a major issue, but my sister keeps sending them to me in particular for some reason, so...
