That’s survivorship bias.

There was a time when humans built wineries everywhere and hoped to attract vineyards.

Nowadays, you only see those that attracted one, as all other wineries gave up centuries ago

Zudem:

Bekiffte sind sich ihrer Defizite oft bewusst und fahren vorsichtiger. Das hebt die Defizite natürlich nicht auf und ist immernoch gefährlicher; aber alle bekifften Fahrer die ich in meiner Jugend begleitet habe warteten auf Grün, fuhren maximal die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung und achtetrn auch an Kreuzungen sehr genau auf Seitenverkehr und Fußgänger. (Jedoch nur sehr selten auf Rückspiegel oder Jaywalker; übersehen manchmal Schilder und haben im Allgemeinen einen Tunnelblick nach vorne. Und die beeinträchtigte Reaktionszeit ist vorallem unvorbereitet echt nicht zu unterschätzen!)

Viele betrunkene hingegen warn meist “I kan noh farn”, brettern über Rot und geben nen Fick auf viele Regeln bzw. denken garnicht dran.

Im allgemeinen habe ich mich bei Bekifften deutlich weniger unsicher gefühlt als bei Betrunkenen.

Am Ende bleibt jedoch: Fahrt nüchtern! Die Regeln sind meiner Meinung nach nicht “Ich darf soviel konsumieren und dann noch ins Auto steigen” sondern “Ich hab noch Reste im Blut vom Vorabend” bzw. "Ich saß halt mit meinen Kifferhomies im Raum und hab passiv bissl was abbekommen:

Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.

That’s why I explicitly stated local.*

I don’t care which country I’m in and how they are driving there. I obviously visualize cars I grew up with.

E: well, I see how local can be interpreted as exactly the opposite of what I mean… oops

I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

Might not help you; but it helps me

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

This is a meme about trans women, please don’t conflate us with femboys.

Sounds for me like:

“femboys exist, but we are not the same”; not “femboys do not exist. They’re just in denial”

(and I do agree with the first; not with the second)

Baby-Transfem here, started HRT literally last week:

Until last friday I was suicidal, constantly depressed and full of self-hate I couldn’t understand.

Since I got my first dose estrogen my mental health drastically improved (as did some other hormone-related body functions that only need the hormones in my blood but not necessarily a prolonged exposure).

I learned from my doc that some transpersons have a brain structure of their non-assigned sex and then show exactly my pattern of relief; meaning my brain was actually born to be estrogen- instead of testosterone-dominated. (which seems to be based on the hormones oned mom exposed one during 3-4th and 10-14th week of infancy. One periods influences the gender of the brain, the other the sex of the general body)

So while I see where you are coming from, and I heavily prepare myself for all the sexism that will probably bring me back to earth as soon as I visually feminize; I can attest that HRT improved both drastically for me (for now)

In another comment you clearly stated that femboys are not the same thing as trans.

And now you want to push the transfem label onto a non-afab person just because they admit to wear gender-non-conforming clothes?

I don’t see the connection?

I mean, the answer is actually yes (if I understand correctly that once a single question mark led to me being laid) , but I don’t understand how you come up with the question

When I was younger (and it wasn’t about drinking but smoking):

Sure, but in this case, most of the lemmy-clients (FOSS or not) are bad.

I have problems logging into my accounts (seems like some instances want my email as a username and many clients cannot handle this after I switched accounts), some clients don’t feature editing or deleting your posts, some clients don’t show my saved content, some clients don’t allow to see what you posted

Sure, much of this is because they started from scratch and will maybe surpass sync some day; but right now I couldn’t find something that isn’t worth. (didn’t try infinity yet, tho)

it’s not necessarily “FOSS is bad”; it’s just that the current lemmy-ecosystem is in it’s child shoes (I have the feeling this proverb doesn’t work in english?)

That said: I use Sync4Lemmy since 5 minutes and this is my first comment; so let’s see if/what it will deliver
