I played it on a pc that was ok at the time and the physics engine glitched out so things that were supposed to be sitting still on top of/next to each other would randomly collide and sometimes fly off. Still had fun with the game though.

There just flat out is no solution to gender seperate spaces.

Allow only biological women/men? Transphobic, issues for some intersex people, and you now have transpeople that are clearly not the gender their birth sex suggests in the """right""" bathroom, so even for transphobes this doesn't work.

Have someone stand in front and judge if people are feminine/masculine enough? Absolutely not holy fuck

Allow people based on gender identity? Any bad actor can just pretend. Absolutely the easiest option though, and imo the best one if we have to seperate them. Thankfully also the one usually implemented.

Allow people based on the gender on their ID? Still sucks for trans people as getting that changed isn't necessarily easy, plus assuming we don't havr someone check everyone at the entrance, trans people would be more likely to have someone complain and have to justify themselves. If we make it as easy as it probably should be, bad actors can abuse it just the same.

Thinking about how to make women feel safer in for example gyms seems like a better long term solution for absolutely everyone, but also doesn't feel like it's talked about a lot.

I appreciate some good trolling that doesn't actually harm anyone. And in this case it also certainly generated discussion, so I'd say it's more than trolling anyway.

More like because finding english speaking actors is a lot easier in an english speaking country, and also the writer likely doesn't speak every language that would be relevant. Plenty of countries don't get dubs of movies or series and people can still understand and enjoy them just fine. Though it probably increases appeal or there just wouldn't br dubs.

It's not, that guy constantly tweets this sort of joke. The shutterstock thing is just part of it.

This is literally just you being used to one system but not the other. 16 to 26 sounds like a massive difference to me because it is. And decimals exist.

It's easy to say everyone should have human rights. But what if one person goes against anothers human rights? What is a just punishment?

And that's before even getting into what rights people should have. You can very easily have everyone be theoretically equal while still effectively disadvantaging some people (and getting rid of that entirely is not even possible, we can just minimize it). There's a lot to debate.

What I don't get is why there would ever be a debate about excluding some people from human rights without them first violating others'. The only argument for that is "if we oppress this group, this other group will have better lives". Which is often true, sure, but that's just being a selfish asshole.

I once failed a test in politics class because after examining both sides I stated this issue does not affect me and I can see merit in both positions, therefore I do not have an opinion on the correct course of action.

Not like the grade mattered in the slightest but that was actual bullshit.

I'd be fine with a minimum support time if an end of life date is not made clear when buying. Say a game has to be able to run for at least one more year after purchasing unless there is an explivit warning about the planned shut down date. That would at least seem reasonable to me.

Of course the optimum would be requiring either offline functionality, or, even better, enabling fans to host their own servers once the official ones shut down. That way games could be preserved for much longer.

But at the very least, people shouldn't lose access after an unreasonably short time.

So can A4, or A5, or any of them because they all have the same ratio.

But the size does make a point for sure.

It's good enough that I'm actually looking forward to this, and was very much hoping there would be more seasons. It's not anything groundbreaking but it tells the arknights story well, and that story is a pretty good one.

The whole thing is phrased the way I phrase acquisition requests at work, everything is true but it's very much written in a way that exaggerates the severity. No major reasons not to add it since it should be quite simple, but that phrasing is bound to tick people off a little. (Edit bc i just remembered this is about doxxing: no of fucking course that's not even remotely an appropriate response and I see 0 justification for it, and I feel like it probably wouldve happened even with different phrasing, this isn't meant to be victim blaming)

Wouldn't be hard to instead say "hey, i have an issue with the lack of a gender neutral pronoun option, it causes feelings of dysphoria for myself and many others which makes me not want to play the game, would be great if that could be added." Or even just leave out the dramaticizing adjectives, that might do it on its own.
