It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don’t want to use the neutral “they”, and instead want unique pronouns such as “xi/xir” or some such.

I personally don’t agree with it. I’ll just continue to use the singular “they”, as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.

Balrum

Beautiful isometric game inspired by 80’s and 90’s CRPGs.

Die.

A LOT

In France they are Vache (cows)

Rubber

Seriously, give this movie a shot.

I’m in Louisiana, so using French is actually quite appropriate.

As a poor American who had to move back in with family out to a rural nowhere town and then had their car break down yet can’t afford to get it running again, it absolutely fucking sucks.

I literally cannot go anywhere. I’m surrounded by fields. The closest store of any kind would be an hour’s walk just to get there traveling on 55+mph highways for 80% of the trip with no sidewalk, just a 1ft gravel shoulder between the road and 4ft deep ditches filled with god knows what.

I haven’t had social interaction that isn’t the two family members I live with, and I don’t even want to get started on how they are absolute drains on my already failing mental state.

Plus, now that I don’t have a car, even if I do finally get a bite on my job search, which has been going for more than 6 months now, I have no transportation to get to work. I can’t work from home due to the country bumpkin internet either.

It seriously just feels like waiting to die out here.

Wanna know a fun fact?

The people who made this, Broderbund, made the original Prince of Persia games, the 2D ones.

Lol if you think poor people don’t also work for the very rich. How do you think they got rich if not by exploiting poor people?

They can be the nicest people you know, yet, still bastards because their fortunes are stolen from the backs of those who labored due to how our economic system is structured to distribute ownership of resources. It is based on the diametrically oppositional interests of workers versus the interests of owners/shareholders. What is good for one is intrinsically bad for the other.

Owning class makes their money from the profit of companies they have share in or are the executives of. Profits are Revenue minus Expenses. Worker wages, benefits, upgrading/fixing equipment and working conditions, etc… are all Expenses. This means that there is always the dichotomy between money going to Profit, thus the pocket of the owning class, or to Expenses, thus going to workers in the form of wages, benefits, or improved working conditions.

Same thing with “ACAB”. Police are pigs not because they are assholes (though most are, that’s a different topic), but because of their systemic function in society.

Tor

Holy shit someone else who played Technomancer and enjoyed it!

Oooo now you have me interested in Starfield by comparing it to Wing Commander, damn you.

I loved Outer Worlds. Rough around the edges, sure, but it wasn’t much different than playing Fallout 3 in terms of gameplay. Also the setting made for some great satire. My only real complaint was the small maps. High hopes for the sequel.

If I like a song, I make a deliberate effort to learn the lyrics and what they mean. People wrote those lyrics for a reason.

Or do you just want to dance?

As someone in Louisiana, I can attest to this.

Also, the struggle of having to decipher if someone is talking about “L.A.” or “LA”.

It was always just art for your body.

People who got tattoos wanted to be able to express themselves in the way they desired, by decorating their body with artwork, and didn’t appreciate having their decision dictated by arbitrary standards that they did not agree to. They weren’t doing it for the sake of rebellion, it was just called rebellion because it went against the social expectations of the time.

People often do not understand the reason behind the act of rebellion and attribute those engaging in the activities as being done for the sake of rebellion itself instead of some deeper cause.

Truly ironic people are trying to say you’re the racist for calling someone else out for espousing racist rhetoric.

The racist is the one bitching about long nails, a predominant standard of beauty in black culture, and how much it makes them uncomfortable.

Like, no one needs to hear your judgement of someone else’s choice of personal expression. Ever heard the phrase “ain’t got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? This is where that applies.

Yea. There is “having personal tastes” but a lot of these comments are just straight up judgmental of other people’s choices of personal expression and using this post as an excuse to espouse some pretty harmful rhetoric.
