No, I hate DST. Getting up an hour earlier sucks. I also prefer the darker season in general because I feel like I sleep better.

Good point. A candidate from a party that doesn’t really have a presence in any level of government and especially zero seats in congress will probably never have a realistic chance of winning the presidential election, barring some exceptional circumstances. If you like a third party, trying to make it viable at the local level and moving up from there seems to be the only realistic option to me.

Either Harris or Trump are going to win the election. Not voting for Harris is voting for Trump. Yes, it fucking sucks, but especially if you’re a woman or a queer person, really think about whether you actually think it doesn’t matter which one wins.

Voting is not an endorsement of a candidate. It’s a tool. Don’t let them take away your rights while you’re waiting for the perfect candidate that will never come.

The Steam Deck is just a Linux PC, you can absolutely mod games on it!

I’m playing modded Slay the Spire a lot on mine.

It’s also ridiculous that they suggest that people are influenced by social pressure or even marketing to become trans. Not only does this not happen, if it did happen it would not work. Conversion therapy does not work. You can’t make people trans just like you can’t make people cis. If people who are actually cis transition they get gender dysphoria and become miserable.

This is just conservative fearmongering with no basis in reality.

So what protections are in place in the US to prevent surgery being done for the same ‘wrong’ reasons?

The difference is you’re not forced to get it under the threat of death. And I’m not American, but as far as I know you also need a psychological evaluation to get it.

If the healthcare system was actually brainwashing people into getting surgeries they don’t need that would be a general issue, not specifically a trans one.

In reality the regret rates for gender affirming surgery is usually found to be under 1%, which is extremely low and lower than almost any other type of surgery. See e.g. A systematic review of patient regret after surgery.

The Silmarillion is one of my favourite books, but I totally get this. Unless you’re really into Tolkien’s world as well as this style of book it’s not a fun read.

My backlog and my library are huge so I’ll choose a few (in no particular order):

• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
• Inscryption
• Hades
• Hollow Knight
• Outer Wilds DLC (I’ve been putting it off because it’s supposedly scary)
• Stray
• Little Kitty, Big City
• Monster Train
• Moonstone Island

First time seeing this but you got me, now I really want to press that button. Why am I so easily manipulated?

It’s so much fun to watch other people figure things out. It’s the closest we can get to playing the game again.

It seems to me like you don’t actually know what this community is about and you’re just mad at the somewhat intentionally provocative title. You wouldn’t be the first.

We don’t want to take people’s cars away. We want good urban planning so that not using a car becomes a viable alternative. If done right this also improves the lifes of people who still need cars for various reasons. If you live in a rural area you’ll probably always need a car and that’s fine.

I understand why people do this but it’s still a fallacy.

I’m not sure what your point is. You come in here with this passive aggressive tone even though this community had nothing to do with the protest you’re talking about. I get that it made you mad and you need a place to vent but this is not it.

Also, forming your political opinion based on the fact that some people made you mad is fallacious reasoning and very immature. Even if the protesters were advocating for the same points this community does, them being annoying does not invalidate (or validate) any of the arguments. Funnily enough, good public transport is actually the best and often only viable way to meaningfully improve traffic so you’re acting against your own self-interest here.

It’s nothing like that. You can already trade currencies between players. This just means that you can buy someone’s listed offer with one click instead of whispering 100 people hoping someone will respond and trade with you. Players have been asking for a feature like this for a long time and the announcement has been received extremely positively.

Plus, they’re only adding it to the next temporary league (which is like a season). They said the Q&A that the intention is to keep it afterwards but if it for some reason completely fucks up the economy they still have an out.

It can be played pretty casually. A run usually takes around an hour but you don’t have to play it in one go. And on the base difficulty it’s pretty approachable. You definitely don’t have to play 500 hours to enjoy it. But you can if you want to :)

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

This standard is not meant to define the proper method for brewing tea intended for general consumption, but rather to document a tea brewing procedure where meaningful sensory comparisons can be made.

As long as you’re not claiming to be a purist I’ll allow it.

True, I forgot about that!
