Even ignoring socially constructed gender identities, in the case of biological sexes, this is scientifically wrong. The world doesn’t fit into neat little boxes like these people think it does

Pens can often pick up paper fibers that gum up the works. In the case of ballpoints I can see this being a pretty permanent problem once it builds up enough to stop up the pen

Maybe I’m feeling cornered, vulnerable, angry, as is often the case with these things. But how do you suggest we protect ourselves and our allies from an evil that strengthens itself off of your sickness, your hunger, your homelessness, and has absolutely no qualms about meeting you with violence and coming up with an excuse later?

But we’re not talking specifically about protecting children here, I’d agree with you that less guns are better to those ends. For fighting fascism though? It took a lot of gun deaths to unseat Hitler and Mussolini

Is a steam deck not a console?

Could academia today be seen in the future in a similar light as we look at the medieval church? It was the gatekeeper of philosophical education (largely on classist principles), to things like literacy, and used humanity’s curiosity and hunger for knowledge as a carrot on a stick to buy into an oppressive status quo.

Xenophobia and racism exist in America outside of the trump ultras. Hell, outside of the republican party even

I don’t think they care. For most, this is just a middle finger to the government

Isn’t that what insurance is for?

They don’t think about endgame. The life they live is one without consequence; they have no intention to start thinking ahead, that’d make them uncomfortable.

Also, this endgame is already manifesting. Remember all those headlines about millennials killing “X” industry? Less wealth in the working class for luxuries that previous generations would have enjoyed at the same age. Before long it’ll be not enough wealth for certain luxuries outright.

Nah dude, didn’t you hear? Tankies off lemmy spoiled a whole US election

I never smoked hand rolls regularly; they didn’t feel bad in the moment but we were working with cardboard standoffs, not really much of a filter in that case. It’s probably for the best I’ve moved on from that

LE are just assholes. I vape now but have dreamed of just hand rolling cigs ahead of time. Biodegradable, smells better, tastes better

Yeah I feel like cyberpunk didn’t really do anything mechanically revolutionary with the narrative. It was incredibly written imo but felt pretty linear outside of dialogue choices with some options for growing attached to a romantic side character.

To me, BG3 definitely set a new high water line when it came out for what can be done in a modern rpg.

I love oblivion 😭

The far-right spent more on advertisements?

It’s outrageous that a loan for higher education comes with an interest rate at all. The increased productivity of a college graduate should cover the need to profit off the loan. Extra silly because as a graduate you only see compensation for a paltry fraction of that increased productivity.

“Defy, Defend, Depose”

Hmm very criptic

That line of thinking has already created a massive market for disposable vapes that waste a crazy amount of fully rechargeable Li batteries

This isn’t even for our safety; most conflicts aren’t. Best I can gather, this is all about regional influence and geopolitical brownie points that don’t matter to all but the ruling class
