Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Today, I'm defeated (lemmy.world)

Being independent can be incredibly fulfilling.

It can also be fucking exhausting sometimes.

My car battery died, so I ordered a new one. I carefully checked the amperage, dimensions, and compatibility with my car model. It arrived, I removed the old battery (which was no small feat, and I was ridiculously proud of myself when I finally managed it) and then discovered that the terminals on the new battery were reversed and it wouldn't work.

So now I have to return it. Which means carrying a 15 kg battery to the post office.

Then I have to wait for the correct one to arrive.

And after that, I get to figure out why two of my tyres are flat (no problem, I have a spare tyre and ordered a charger/air blower thingy, hopefully it will work).

I am perfectly capable of taking care of my own shit.

I'm just getting a little tired of it. But lesson learned: buy the exact same model of whatever you need to replace if you can.

If you don't curate your feed that's on you.

I feel like I’m deliberately stepping on a landmine here as I’m not a woman

You knew what you were doing.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes... I said as much

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And yet you're still here. Still commenting. Still posting against the rules you now definitely know about.

Fucking Hell, what does it take to get through to you complete and utter bags of dicks!?

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People keep replying to me. Just being polite. I do know the rules now and I won't be commenting in here any more, other than to reply dire tly to people who are engaging with me.

Literally I was already here and gone with no trouble at all, people I my started messaging me hours later. If you don't wanna talk to me, please by all means don't.

Just being polite.

You know you're being rude as hell now.

I'm not going to shut up because a man told me to do so.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't tell you to. I said by all means keep replying if you want to, or stop if you want to do that. I get a little red bell icon every time you message me. It's hard to ignore.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can't control yourself, you mean.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can. I'm choosing not to.

Edit: I'm taking this out so as to not make community members feel uncomfortable. I believe what I said though.

Pushing boundaries. Ignoring women saying "no".

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How are you this fucking stupid?

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The little red dopamine bell comes up every time you message me. You can stop this any time you like.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I get a hit every time someone insults you and tell you to get the hell out.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm trying to get out but 2 people just can't seem to let me go

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can stop this any time you like.

So should you. You don't belong here.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I've not engaged with the community AT ALL since finding out the rules other than replying to people who directly addressed me
