Also sometimes how having a body feels like.

The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

Of course Israel isn’t going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

Sounds more like a way to make almost everyone annoyed. All the text would be more awkward for every player, so people who don’t care about NB pronouns would justifiably be annoyed: it would actually be a case of identity politics making a product clearly worse (granted, it would be conservative identity politics that caused it), unlike all the times conservatives get mad because minorities exist in media sometimes. And NBs would know the dev put in more work to change all lines of text to remove all personal pronouns just to avoid adding another option for them. It would be a much more direct “fuck you” than doing nothing at all.

I wish English did not overuse pronouns (personal or otherwise) because of the ambiguity and misunderstandings caused by pronouns, but if its gonna change its going to have to start with people changing how they use the language, not some 8 year old game to try to shoehorn in.

Arguments made in bad faith (such as that made by Sawzall) deserve any ridicule. ¯\(ツ)/¯

How dare thou use “you” as a singular for Sawzall. He/she/xi/fae/ze/whatever clearly identify with 1000-year old English. What would someone do with verbs after singularly “you”? Put plural verbs like “are” there? Would be ridiculous.

Depends how you read the “and”, it is only a statement about those who are “trans AND nonbinary”, not “trans OR nonbinary”. Would be a weird choice of wording though. Not sure how many people would consider themselves in the group of non-binary and not trans, but certainly lots of agender people consider themselves not trans, but those same people I think typically don’t consider themselves non-binary either and typically wouldn’t care that much about pronouns to begin with. Also doubt there are many binary trans people who use pronouns that aren’t the default for their binary gender (ie: women who use he/him or neopronouns. Maybe xenopronouns among furries? But like I feel like a lot of those people mostly do it as a criticism of the institution of gender and don’t actually take them serious?).

Anyways, agreed they just seem to be trying to be over-the-top with the wording, but understandable that someone making a petition would feel pressured to write like that. Would be nice to see body-type and pronouns (in games that use them) be separate settings as default in all games. We’ve been able to name our rival “Dickface” since '96. Doesn’t seem like much to ask for similar control of our own character’s pronouns.

Given how many people are upset about those polices, to the point of using armies of police to harass college students for being against those policies, it seems that it is an important issue to a lot of Americans and its not exactly a secret how unpopular current international policy is. They might not be average Americans, but those who are likely to vote democrat are those people they’re using violence to silence.

When you’re clients are a handful of companies who will more aggressively change insurers than consumers to save a penny and have their own legal teams, it becomes harder to price gouge or illegally deny claims.

I think the existing 100TB SSDs are over $10k. Halo products charge a premium.

I won’t buy all of the teslas. Looking forward to xan buying 3 times the total production of all Telsas.

That’s been a thing for a long time. Maybe not on the front page, but there’s been plenty of people using cleavage as major part of the appeal of their stream. I don’t see any problem with it. If people choose to watch streams for that reason, so be it. Personally, I started using twitch for politics streams/just chatting years ago and then branched into watching video games and occasional art streams.

If the 5060 outperformed the 4090, I’d be extremely surprised. Newer lower-tier doesn’t necessarily mean better.

Its pretty cool. Number go up is exciting.
