@HawlSera @chloyster I mean, I absolutely know people who use she/her but present very masc, and vise-versa. They may be relatively uncommon, but so are trans people in general and weâre still worth representing. Not to mention non-binary people who have relatively binary gender presentation. Your experience is absolutely not universal.
@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that Iâm nostalgic for.
âWhy didnât she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?â he asked. âThat is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me ⌠a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.â
âItâs the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about whatâs good and whatâs desirable,â he added. âIf people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then itâs good, and if it doesnât, itâs bad ⌠thatâs sort of the root of our political problem.â
Itâs really funny when conservatives are like âSee the problem with Wokeness is <describes capitalism>â
@snow_bunny Nah, it was Sonos. Which, I guess the app ecosystem is their whole thing - but I didnât know that at the time. I just wanted a basic sound bar, and the reviews didnât really mention that all that extra fluff was mandatory.
In retrospect Sonos sucks for a lot of other reasons too, so I guess it was a bullet dodged.
@The_Picard_Maneuver I once bought a TV sound bar that wanted me to download an app, make an account and give it detailed location information just to use it as a wired speaker. I returned it.
@SPAUZPiMP @scarabic Oh wow, did he literally say âirreducible complexity?â That is SO blatant lol.
âTim Walz is a weird radical liberal,â the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. âWhat could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boysâ bathrooms?â
Itâs so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.
@wizardbeard Oh yeah, totally - itâs not like the 1% doesnât use these things to its advantage. Donât take my comment as making the mistake of ignoring that. Itâs just myopic at best to act like other forms of oppression can be ignored as long as we ensure economic liberation. And a lot of the people spouting that opinion⌠well, thereâs a reason they think bigotry isnât a problem - they suck.
@cyborganism @GammaGames Thereâs a particular category of âleftistâ who, to put it gently, have a greatly simplified view of the world in which âthe only war is class war.â They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as distractions from the âtrueâ cause of bringing about a new economic system - unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
Basically, theyâre narrow-minded bigots.
