  • This man is talking about rape survivors who want female-only care, the nurses currently suing their health trust for making them change in front of a man, girls and women losing sporting opportunities to males and female prisoners incarcerated with convicted sex offenders.

    It’s hilarious that she’s making these seem like widespread issues when most of them are literally just one incident, or aren’t happening at all. These are the best examples she can come up with of legitimate grievances against trans people?

    How about “bullied to suicide, denied medical care, housing discrimination, employment discrimination, and getting violently hate crimed at enormous rates” for the other side of this issue? Even if you think trans identities are invalid, at least pretend to treat them with the same respect you would other human beings. But no, trans people who are just trying to survive day-to-day are nonchalantly grouped in with pedophile rapists, as if those two things are in any way equivalent.

    It’s easy to hate someone when you just ignore what they really are and supplant it with something else entirely.








  • For me it’s:

    • Strategy games are extremely meta-focused
    • You always feel like you’re playing sub-optimally if you don’t know the exact right move
    • They typically require a lot of time and energy that I just don’t have
    • They require long, focused sessions that could be better spent doing anything else
    • No one I know is playing them so it sucks as a social activity
    • They have less “high moments” compared to other games

    Could never get into strategy games except for mobile ones that I would play on long road trips or something.




  • Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev’s discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said “you’re the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen”. I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!
