I [18NB] am starting uni in Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow. Since I'll be living a good distance away from home, I was thinking of buying some pride merch and stuff.

However, it has crossed my mind that safety could be an issue. I wouldn't have thought that Edinburgh would have issues, but I think it's best to ask Lemmy: On the whole, is Edinburgh a safe place to be myself?

Some of them eat oysters, or so I'm told. They lack a brain and centralised nervous system.

You may be abrosexual, of course; but that could also be an explanation.

We have a word for that: abrosexual.

Here's the flag:

Flag with five stripes: light green, pale green, white, pale pink, and hot pink

As you can imagine, our main in-jokes are watermelons and indecisiveness.

There's also a subreddit at r/abrosexual, and a community at !abrosexual@lemmy.ca (although the latter isn't very active).

"Know" is a stretch. Plants respond to attack by releasing chemicals (e.g. nettles and grasses), curling or retracting their leaves (e.g. acacia), or by changing their morphology (e.g. holly); but they have no nervous system - let alone a brain - so it's not like you're killing an animal.

This looks like a virgin vs chad meme.

Paywall? I mean thanks, that'll be helpful for a lot of people and I might even change the link to the archived one, and the cookie options are a bit crap unless you block JS; but this isn't paywalled on my end.

Maybe it's because I'm in the UK? Although I'm using a VPN...

Don't let the title fool you! This is not anti-FOSS!

EDIT: Added soft- to the title, since it was pissing people off. Maybe I'm still wrong. Idk, it's just a meme.
