Yes, you need to be knowledgeable about or have experience with things you have opinions on. To do anything otherwise would be "spreading lies because of an agenda."

I'm sorry, but I asked if you knew what the steps are, how long you're legally required to wait between steps, what paperwork and doctor's visits are required for which step, which step is a "point of no return", that kind of thing. Do you have any knowledge about those topics whatsoever, or are you forming opinions without knowing anything about the topic at hand?

I think that, if this question is in good faith, this might be the right time for you to tell us what you think the process is for transitioning. What the steps are, how long you're legally required to wait between steps, what paperwork and doctor's visits are required for which step, which step is a "point of no return", that kind of thing.

We don't know what level your knowledge is at and it's hard to educate someone who is not brave enough to put themselves out there to be corrected.

On the other hand if you don't want to learn today and you just want to feel empowered in your hate, I think Twitter is great for that kind of thing

I think the best way to put it is that a leftist is someone who believes that workers should own the wealth that they create, while a liberal is someone believes in "socially progressive causes" without examining the underlying systems that bring about the necessity of "socially progressive causes".

For example, a liberal would want more woman CEOs, while a leftist would want to get rid of CEOs.

Here's an interview with a survivor. It is infuriating.

Ugh you're probably right, it's going to be our generation's DMC DeLorean. The vehicle itself will age poorly, but slap it in a BTTF reboot in five years and it'll fit right in

Probably low-hanging fruit here, but Cybertrucks

Tbh there's lots of stuff in the Barbie movie that I would consider timeless, especially the feminist aspects of it. What parts of the movie do you think applies to the 2020s but doesn't apply to, say, 1990 or 1960?

EDIT: I may have interpreted this comment too pessimisticly-- this question is about the future, not the past. Maybe, hopefully, societal views on gender will change in the future enough that the Barbie movie will become outdated

Tbh that sounds like a pretty terrible way to live. I hope you figure things out before you hurt someone.

I had a chance to play for a couple hours this morning, and I'm impressed so far! It's a metroidvania game, but with a souls-like bonfire/estus flask/lose experience on death and try to recover it mechanic. Movement and combat feel fluid, and deflecting attacks feels great. The combat system seems simple right now, but I have barely unlocked any of the systems in the game and it's a metroidvania so I know the complexity will only grow.

The world is beautiful and has a complex history that I want to learn more about, although the dialog is a little bit jointed, probably due to localization issues. There are definitely some aspects of body horror to the game, with ~~humans~~ Apemen from the Big Blue Planet being used as livestock in a creepy, gory, ritualistic fashion in the first level. It's definitely not a horror game, though-- the protagonist is powerful and can fight back against enemies without fear of running out of resources, although combat is definitely unforgiving.

I can tentatively recommend it right now, although I haven't played it enough to give it a full review yet. I haven't played it on my steam deck yet, but I'll give it a shot tonight and give my thoughts over on the steamdeck community
