  • The majority of those are nothing burgers. They shut down their dedicated password app when they integrated its features into the browser, they shut down their encrypted file sharing tool when they realized it was being used for very nefarious uses, they shut down Positron and it's affiliated projects because nobody started using it over Electron... and a lot of the rest are extremely niche (like viewing websites in 3d, cool but not all that useful).

  • Baseball cap! Wearing it now actually. It has a mesh back and a gray front with my state's shape on it patterned with a rainbow 🌈

  • The title refers to Yoda

  • Thanks

  • Direct democracy doesn't only not contradict with anarchism, it is a core tenet of anarchism. After all, how do we get rid of unjustified hierarchy without creating a hierarchy free from rulership?

  • This is frankly a really classist remark. No need to bring up her socioeconomic class when there's a perfectly valid reason to dunk on her already (being a Trump supporter and not knowing when the election is).

  • No, "Springfield" is a very common town name (especially one founded not on a body of water or river but in a field with springs), which is why The Simpsons selected it. May as well have been "Anytown, USA".

    Anyways, the hoax of Haitian immigrants eating cats was supposedly happening in Springfield, Ohio. It's baseless but that is what Trump fell for, not a Simpsons sketch or anything like that.

  • Consider also that receiving HRT requires you to convince your doctor you are trans, and Informed Consent comes into play. They would likely be informed of all of the side effects.

    I would say that the 10% of cis men who wouldn't experience dysphoria in your hypothetical weren't cis in the first place. In fact, anyone who transitions to "own the libs" is probably just trans and scared.

  • If it's to prove a point then they won't pass the regulatory body, like when Ben Shapiro tried to get a bunch of mediocre male basketball players to pretend to transition to try to get them into a women's basketball tourney. It didn't work, because they were obviously not trans. It isn't even difficult to tell, because they obviously don't have the relationship with their gender trans people have. It would be hard to fake. And none of them were on hormones anyways so they wouldn't have qualified in the first place.

    Estrogen supplementation on a male mind will cause gender dysphoria, so I don't think they would be able to keep it up for very long. But say one does, why would they knowingly make themselves infertile with no benefit? I know I had to weigh fertility and HRT and only went with HRT because of the mental health benefits that come with it. A cis man pretending gets no benefit, but does get:

    • Infertility
    • Significant muscle mass loss (remember we are talking about male athletes, muscles are kinda their whole thing)
    • Gender dysphoria, as they are now taking the wrong hormones

  • Funny, did you catch the part where he projected that on Harris? He accused her of claiming to have never met Biden 😂

  • That is true.

    Did I miss the sarcasm or do you really think ANYONE would/could transition just for supposed gains in sports, let alone EVERYONE? They would have to take hormones that make them permanently infertile for over a year and proceed with a social transition all to convince a regulatory body that they are trans (and all of this would be incredibly difficult on their non-trans minds), and they would lose an incredible amount of muscle mass which typically athletes... Wouldn't want

  • Con: Literally every single professional athlete will become trans so they can win at sports.

    Please tell me I'm missing the sarcasm here 🙄🤦‍♀️

    What experts do you think are lying about trans people?

  • ...feeling very justified in my decision to pay $700 for the name brand automated litter machine

  • As an insult, yeah, but not if it's the original context like "stay woke"

  • All it would take is supplementing hormones at several points in development so that it develops its gonads and mind the other way.

  • Decky itself is fine, some plugins are buggy. If you install it and Junk-Store, you should be fine with no problems. I run like a dozen plugins and I only ever had problems with the UI customization ones: css, and animation changer. I uninstalled those and it's all passive now.

    I've only had problems with one game from Epic. The rest worked just fine with no tweaks

  • Reverse image search shows the image is over 5 years old (old r/funny thread about it) so not AI generated

  • Sure, it's a plugin through Decky. It allows you to log in to Epic and it displays your library in its separate window, allowing you to install them as Non-Steam Games. It's quite easy

  • Using Junk Store on my Steam Deck (and redeeming free games on the mobile website) to completely avoid the Epic Launcher 😎
