calling trans people "forever patients" or w/e says a lot about how transphobes view disabled people as well, like yeah some people need medical intervention to live or to not kill themselves and sometimes they will need that care for the rest of their lives, sorry i guess

i know theres no getting through to these people but its crazy how you can be like yeah hrt honestly saved my life i've never been happier, and they're like "That's fucked up. you'll be a slave to pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life. you should be forcibly detransitioned and have to do talk therapy forever instead"

the "medicine bad psychiatry good" mindset

god didn't give me a dick because he knew i'd get nothing done

the single most insane shot i have ever seen in my life this shit is soo crazy

a couple weeks ago this guy posted in the chicago pagan facebook group saying that he’s a djinn and that there’s a portal between here and egypt and only he and one other person had the power to close it and there was going to be a massive sandstorm… like dude, close the fucking portal, why are you even telling us this

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

do note that this will probably mean US phones will follow this standard as well, as manufacturing streams are much easier to maintain as streamlined as possible, and having two separate standards like this makes it more of an expensive hassle for a company

this is also known as the Brussels Effect, where a regulation in one part of the world (usually the EU) results in new global standards.

please let this jump to laptops and tablets and everything else

Source (the one screenshotted at the top of the post):

"For "portable batteries" used in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras, consumers must be able to "easily remove and replace them." This will require a drastic design rethink by manufacturers, as most phone and tablet makers currently seal the battery away and require specialist tools and knowledge to access and replace them safely.

Apple has already been forced by the European Union to change from a Lightning port to a USB-C port on iPhones, with the iPhone 15 expected to be the first to make the switch. Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones, as will every other smartphone manufacturer.

The new rules also stipulate strict targets for collecting waste and recovering materials from old batteries. The percentages for each increase at set intervals between now and 2031, at which point 61% waste collection must be achieved and 95% of materials must be recovered from old portable batteries. There will also be minimum levels of recycled content used in new batteries required, but only "eight years after the entry into force of the regulation.""

Oh hell yeah!!! I can't fucking wait!

ALL my android phones up until like 2018 easily opened up in the back so i could replace the battery myself and the fact that went away has been INFURIATING. i cannot WAIT to be able to change my own battery again.

I can't wait to be able to stim by popping the back off my phone and clicking it back on again. it's been years and i really liked being able to do that

i said what i said

this one’s also on redbubble
