  • That's not that ridiculous. If you're frequently playing new games at launch (probably a bad idea for different reasons), then latest drivers often contain optimizations and fixes for specific games.

  • People fixate on certain lyrics and kinda ignore the rest of the song.

    I knew someone who swore "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen was a dirty song because two lines could be interpreted as innuendo.

    Reddit:

  • The official VR support for Minecraft Bedrock was garbage anyways. I never got it working with the HTC Vive or the Valve Index, but AFAIK its feature set was limited.

    Vivecraft for Minecraft Java has way more features, is incredibly customizable regarding controls and comfort settings, and works with a wide range of headsets. It's been a bit since I've booted it up, but every time I jump back in, I'm delighted at just how well it works.

  • If, at this point, any trans person wanted to risk their life for this country, they probably just banned the most loyal human beings in the world.

  • That aspect was lost on me. Nice catch.

  • The answer to this, like most identity-related questions, vary pretty significantly by the individual.

    Some people transition because they feel more comfortable presenting in ways stereotypical of the other gender, others because they feel dysphoric with their body. Most are some combination of both.

    Personally, I don’t feel much “social” dysphoria as I am (mostly) comfortable with my presentation, however I feel pretty intense body dysphoria, so my transition was primarily physical, with some lifestyle changes to fit in better.

    It’s possible that dismantling of binary gender norms may allow more people to live comfortably without feeling the need to transition, but when you really deconstruct that argument, it’s not really useful. What matters is the reality of people’s experiences. In practice, that argument is usually used to discredit trans experiences as “made-up”.

    It’s akin to saying, “People wouldn’t wear clothes (weather permitting) if we dismantled stigma around nudity.” Some people, maybe—it depends on the situation. Pragmatically, we live in a world where it matters, so it’s not a useful argument.

    Regarding sexuality, there’s a significant lack of statistical data. There was some progress being made, but recent stigma has slowed scientific research into the topic. Personally I don’t think sexually can ever be fully decoupled from gender as a sense of self is often a significant part of sexuality. That being said, sometimes people change orientation when transitioning, sometimes they don’t. A combination of changing hormones and improved self-image can make a big difference in sexuality.

  • At least they don’t play an entire Etude in Db like washing machines.

  • You lost me at “login” on a treadmill lmao.

    Treadmills are already pretty niche considering walking/running is free.

  • Yeah that happens when you demolish your global reputation and law enforcement actively target anyone who seems “foreign”.

    I’m a US citizen and I don’t feel safe. No way would I travel here by choice under this administration.

    On the other hand, CA (and other liberal states) have become safe(er) havens for people fleeing persecution from fascism in other states.

  • 100%. The OP is literally how people justify racism IRL.
