You don’t need to eat rice and ramen (tho I do love me some…). Turkeys around Tgiving in the us are stupid cheap, pork butts smoke easily (you can even cheat and do them in a standard oven), and cheap beef makes great stew for less than $1/meal. Fish can be affordable too, if that’s your thing.
How come all your cheap alternatives to rice and ramen are corpse? Are those the only options for frugal people, to have rice and ramen or to be a murderer?
The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won
And CO2
That’s weird, I think of Janeway as the least empathetic captain. She denied the doctor’s humanity against his will, and gave 7/9 humanity by force without trying to understand its own perspective.
Yeah but it’s not at the L2 point, it’s spinning in a circle around L2.
No ethical way to purchase an animal’s life for use in food.
I don’t think they think it. I think they got computers slightly faster, because a large corporation drew on the resources its home country had stolen from those places to leverage a monopoly.
Your data shows desktops, but it doesn’t show laptops. It’s not news that laptops are more common than desktops.
Greybeard is also the name for an experienced DRG player
I wish red meat allergy was sexually communicable.
You’re right. That other person was probably talking about Blahaj and their reactionary political position of pretending anything can be apolitical. Also, doxxing trans people.
I consider Hexbear to be the same pattern in a different colour. Instead of defederating, they just ban any leftist or trans person who they’ve chosen to harass today. I consider defederations and bans to be two means of accomplishing the same goal, so I wasn’t keeping the distinction in mind.
Well sure. A bigot cannot tolerate the free exchange of ideas. If bigots don’t have a safe space to be bigots, then someone may come along and call them a transphobe and hurt their feelings. Authoritarian powers have always found excuses to shut down the speech of progressive radicals. Protest cannot be tolerated. They will use words like “brigading”, and “wrecker”, and “harassment” to construct a worldview in which political speech is a moral wrong, and they will enforce that worldview. I’ve seen this behaviour from both Blahaj and Hexbear. And I’ve seen it from my own government used against all kinds of progressive protesters. It’s universal.
It’s great that you’re so open minded to seeing things from another perspective.
I don’t blame the artist who originally drew that poster, but I do think she could have played it smarter than to give a AAA gaming company the rights to a controversial and nuanced satire of transphobia. The result of that is kind of inevitable when you consider the capitalist context of big companies like CDPR. I totally want to see political media exploring these issues in indie games, but trusting big corporations to have a nuanced discussion of the most delicate trans issues is a bad idea. A cis woman with a glowing dildo up her pants on CDPR’s Twitter was kind of inevitable
I agree on the count of Chang, but not Pierce. The group allowed him to use his “shwami” act as part of a plot-crucial heist while taking Greendale back from Chang’s army. And besides, I’ve heard rumours that Chevy Chase really was like that offstage too. Apparently the rest of the cast hated him.
I agree that preserving the bigotries of the past to show people what they were like critically is important. Although I don’t think Cyberpunk counts in this instance. Yes, the artist who originally drew that poster had the intention of satirising the way capitalist companies use trans bodies to sell anything. The problem is, then CD Projekt Red, the capitalist company, used the poster to sell their game. They did the exact thing they were trying to satirise. At one point they held a cosplay contest, and the winner was a cis woman who stuck a glowing dildo up her pants to cosplay as the woman in that poster. And CDPR put images of her cosplay all over their twitter. A cis woman dressed up as a satire of the commodification of trans bodies to win a contest, and a company used her image to sell a video game. You can’t have effective satire while doing the very thing you “satirised”. I believe the original artist intended to satirise, but the company that owns the rights to the image just played it straight and did the horrible thing in sincerity.
I think an Asian man wearing drowface is a complicated issue with no right answers. But the multiple times Pierce wears explicit brownface are way worse, and if anything was to be removed, they should have gone first.
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to moving off Discord. The username change made the biggest difference to me, I lost the last of my trust in them to keep making user friendly decisions at that moment. But regardless of trust, my polycule needs a tool to differentiate headmates, and Discord is the only platform that has that so far. I know because I’ve looked. We’ll switch when a pluralkit equivalent is available
I didn’t say murder is wrong. You said it. Because it’s what you really believe. You already know it’s wrong, you just don’t like thinking about the things you already believe.
