Exactly. I don’t care about tiktok (I’m more concerned with the parts of this legislation) but this’ll be interesting. The bad news is that if tiktok wins this, other corporations will definitely start up with some new shenanigans

There is a pretty obvious difference between accidentally misgendering and maliciously misgendering.

To be fair, why do you think they’re antisemitic? Could it be the years and years of oppression under Israel, who have conflated themselves with Judaism the entire time?

This isn’t me saying that antisemitism is good, but the same reason you were confused about the ties between Judaism and Israel (and lack thereof) is probably the same thing going through their heads.

I really enjoy cooking and enjoy reading about the science behind it. So chemistry/biochem, I guess? For any interested J. Kenji Lopez-At is a good and approachable source.

Also for those that like astronomy and also beer, look for an Astronomy on Tap chapter near you! They are an org that puts on presentations about astronomy in bars. Dunno about other chapters, but my city’s chapter is free to attend.

Not here to fight you, but this line of thinking might be why people downvote you for being a language/grammar nazi.

Consider that gender is a made up concept and one can actually pick and choose any part of any gender norm to apply to themselves.

Also consider that your friend might not be ready for a potential next step in their gender discovery journey and you should respect that. Just be a safe person to come out to when/if they’re ready. Choosing their pronouns for them is both rude as fuck and potentially dangerous for them.

Well, the world is already built around them. They’ll be okay

Hol up, where in your quotes did they mention genocide against Israelis? Supporting the end of Palestinian genocide and apartheid isn’t calling for genocide of Israelis.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense to be conditioning a military campaign engaged in by an ally,” he said. He added that “there’s no question if there are allegations, they will be the subject of scrutiny and review,” but said he doesn’t think the resolution is the right approach.

“Hey, I just saw your brother murder someone, we need to call the cops!”

“Oh no, that’s not good! But we can’t call the cops, I’ve always supported my brother, I can’t stop now when he is in trouble already!”

I agree with the others that the admin shouldn’t have doubled down, but as someone using kbin.social via my phone’s browser I don’t see pronouns either.

This conflict is actually the first time that I became aware that some instances show pronouns, which I love. But that being said, as an enby I tend to default to they/them pronouns when dealing with the unknown, so I get it.

Yikes. I don’t like Trump or Trump supporters (or Republicans/Republican supporters for that matter), but you’ve gotta calm down, my guy.

These people have spent their lives gaslighted by bad people, that’s no reason to kill them. One of my favorite people was raised VERY evangelist, another friend raised Mormon, and they’ve educated themselves out of that.

We don’t euthanize people with stubbed toes, nor should we abandon those that are being gaslit and lied to constantly. They already get their just desserts by living under the policies of those they voted for.

Also, ableist slurs? Do better.

Lol, my father constantly telling me to toughen up is what led to me going to therapy.

Toughening doesn’t permanently do the trick, it leads to repression of emotion and is a very isolating thing. It’s better instead to be vulnerable and expand your support network. One strong tree isn’t as strong as the interlocked roots of a forest.

Bg3 and The Finals, depending on my mood.

Bg3 is great, super happy that they fixed some of the worst bugs in the last patch (like being shot at by enemies through the floor when you are on the 2nd floor of a building).

The Finals definitely needs some balancing changes made, but I’m still enjoying it. Excited to see how the game grows, it will probably replace Apex Legends for me if they keep fixing it.

Why do you think they shifted their policy? It’s because dem voters are threatening to not vote for them if they are shitty. Yeah, democrats have a problem with not voting together leading to 2016-like elections, but that type of event causes the party to correct themselves a little. It’d be better if they would actually learn the lesson though.

They won’t because they are corporatists and reactionary, but maybe one day.

Hell, I’d be fine for in-game adverts in sensible and relatively unintrusive spots (like a Spiderman 2 ad on a times square billboard in Spiderman 1/Miles Morales). But that won’t happen.
