Conservatism.
Liberals and leftists discussing things would be much better. They’d discuss policy and how to implement it.
We wouldn’t need to have “discussions” in the “marketplace of ideas” around murdering people, deporting people, removing healthcare, denying people’s existence, etc.
Just because horse piss is a yellow liquid doesn’t mean it has to be stocked on shelves next to Gatorade.
Unfortunately I can’t disagree with the stupidity of people. I do wish people would look something up rather than assume as the initiative did at least say that “it would require verification of a student’s biological sex.” I guess people didn’t ask the obvious next question of “how?”
I can disagree with the biological male advantage though as it seems you don’t understand how hormones affect a person’s body and how any possible “advantage” is nullified from bone and muscle loss. Regardless, that’s entirely besides the point given that these are children who just want to play together and.not be segregated. Soon we’ll have trans water fountains and such at this rate. I also don’t remember the last time children were weightlifting and powerlifting either.
Proper education and understanding is one of the biggest issues in society. We’re always moving too fast as society intends, so that we’re too tired to think about things, we’ve got bills to pay, and social media primes us to make and stand behind snap judgements.
We really didn’t circulate this ad enough.
Thankfully it should get immediately challenged at the state level based on discrimination since it only applies to girls.
They’re all from the same rich asshat so people have thought that it could have been a strategy to get more centrist/right leaning voters to come out and also vote to remove the millionaire’s tax.
Better yet, this.
Have Congress pen a law that says “the supreme court can’t constitutionally overturn this.” When they challenge it, they’d have to cite where in the constitution they are provided such power. And that doesn’t exist. Judicial supremacy is removed.
It’s being argued by Harvard Law professors with books written about it. Having 5 or 6 individuals override the most Democratic process of the people and being the final say is kind of…undemocratic. And they’ve consistently weilded their power against the people and civil rights, not for it.
I just finished setting up my matrix homeserver and got my friends to use Sable. So. Yeah, fuck discord and their AI “age estimation,” their promises of “we don’t store ids” before leaking tens of thousands of them, and their “our trusted partners are the best” and it’s literally Palantir in a trench coat.
Fuck all of that. AND they’re enshittifying with all the quests and ads. Discord has some real problems but violating everyone’s privacy is not the solution. Hire more people, actually investigate, and listen to the community. Don’t be a Roblox.
You do realize having leadership that “works across the aisle” is exactly why we had a focus on identity politics right? It’s was platitudes instead of policy, it was effective at sowing division so that democrats didn’t need to do anything and still take the same money from billionaires and PACs that republicans do. Jeffries and Schumer both take AIPAC, oil, and healthcare insurance lobbying money. They have no incentive to hold anyone to account and make things better for the people. If they did, they’d lose their funding.
You can’t work across the aisle with fascist capitalists. That’s how you get identity politics aimed at stalling and dividing people rather than delivering for them. It’s effective at taking the steam out of real, people first movements.
We have more in common than we don’t. Whether MAGA likes it or not, we’re going to give them healthcare, education, job protection, paid time off by law, and more.
Find someone middle of the road.
Bro wants us to go halfway between doing something for the people and doing nothing. Or halfway between helping people and fascism if I’m not reading that charitably (“2 sides of politics.” Cause reality famously only has black and white issues.)
Like c’mon. Social and cultural issues like what? Money out of politics? Healthcare? Education? Public investment? Holding billionaires and the criminal administration accountable? Because that’s what we voted for. And all of those things make things more affordable. ESPECIALLY the accountability part. They’re the whole reason nothing is affordable. The working class needs protections against capitalist bullshit.
I don’t disagree. We’ll have to feel pain before anyone changes. That’s how conservative, reactionary thinking works. Until gas in the US went people didn’t give a shit about their neighbors and fascism. Personal harm/gain move people more than empathy or anecdotes unfortunately. Good ole capitalism reinforcing selfishness and narcissim.
It’s a chicken and egg kind of problem. But ultimately, it’s where gamers go. Where we vote to put our dollars basically. If it’s GoG or some other platform that becomes open source or something that works to build a good product, that’s where publishers will eventually move to as well after the paying audience moves. But yeah, of course lots of big name studios will fight tooth and nail and won’t supply DRM free versions willingly.
Unless policy gets instituted to force them of course.

Not entirely, but they’re focused on delivering DRM free copies for your purchases. So if they were to pivot and revoke your library, that part is impossible if you’ve downloaded your DRM free installation files.
When Gabe passes one day and the next owner is some business dimwit and makes steam really win capitalism, pretty sure we’ll jump to GoG. That’s my headcanon at least. Because that’s what always happens to private companies when the person who cares about the thing no longer leads the company.
Block google, use duckduckgo.
Even better, the computer science and/or IT portions of school should have students learn how to set up, configure, and maintain their own instances of SearXNG that the school could use locally on their intranet.
Education, exposing kids to open source alternatives, and the school gets their own, and better, search aggregator that strips AI and ads. Sounds like a win-win-win to me.
But if it were my company, we would implement the terrible bad evil thing correctly. I’m smarter than the villain of the book, obviously.
It’s so wild…we’ve got ancient pharohs and turtles still kicking, but Chris Murphy who’s leading investigations into the regime has a sudden stroke at 53? Wild.
Wasn’t there a documentary about Kushner paying a bunch of people like a former hitman or something?
Haley Stevens trying to obfuscate support against a government as support against the Jewish people and their faith.
That’s antisemitism. And she’s mega-funded for it.
Are they allowed to? Were they actually doing anything else aside from pocketing our tax dollars and finding new, cruel ways to harm people?
Unfortunately, even when they, as a group, decide to cause harm and suffering. Cheaper to pay legal fees for death and dismemberment than pay for recalls.

Cheaper to pay for less/worse healthcare which leads to more death and bankruptcy…
Cheaper to eliminate roles and replace them with contract positions which don’t have benefits leading to the same as above…
Almost like they can’t be held accountable.
And then if it’s attempted, they can just defer the judgements which harms the victims more…

Must be nice to be a person when it suits you and not a person when it suits you.
You’re right, thank you, I missed that all the way at the bottom. This is what I get for moving too fast.
I agree that voters can be dumb. I definitely don’t agree that people who have muscle and bone loss due to their body changing from hormones would have any kind of biological advantage.
Which is entirely besides the point. Children should be allowed to play with children. I also didn’t know that children were now weightlifting according to that guy. Maybe even competitively too.
