For me, it was learning English. Although I do make a few mistakes here and there, I'm mostly perfect on it.

The amount of resources you have access to dramatically increases when you know a universal language. I say dramatically because it made me realize how much my native language lacks when it comes to certain topics. The most obvious one to me was tech and computers. Everybody knows how to use Windows but there are very few resources about stuff beyond Windows. It's actually sad. [insert sad face here]

Deciding to transition ten years ago

What element were you before you transitioned to fire?

EDIT: I should probably point this out, this is a joke; please don't speculate or ask about a trans person's pretransition identity.

I think people on lemmy should start using the "/s" more, even if it's a reddit legacy

A lot of the federation has been people groomed by reddit dropping all the social progress that site has made over the years.
