Because they don't? There's FOSS Chromium-based browsers that respect privacy that would benefit from this.

I am Christian (I'm not out to go modify non-Christians though and have a lot of misgivings about the way other Christians have been approaching the topic) and have been in the church basically my whole life and can echo what u/BarqsHasBite stated. The big fear from their end is LGBTQIA+ folks "converting" the children to change the nation. Spend enough time looking at liberal-based news (I imagine you don't want to, that's fine but it needs to be said) and you'll see lots of examples of Christian vitriol against LGBTQIA+ in a very un-Christ-like manner. If you're not seeing it around you, you're lucky.

"It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it."

As a Christian talking to a Christian, I'm astounded you don't understand the nature of the culture war going on. One side views homosexuality as a horror that needs to be snuffed out, and the other side views it as a major component of their person that is inseparable. One side wants homosexuality to die and the other side views that as a threat against their person. One side is using the Republican party to attack availability of transgender services that a good chunk of the other side relies on to live because they have followed their gender dysphoria through to personal body modification.

You and a lot of other Christians in this country need to stop with the persecution claims and crawl out from under your rock and have some open dialogue with your fellow Americans or citizens of whatever country you're in and stop cowering behind your pride and ego. It's fair to be viewed with mistrust when others of your faith are attacking what they are standing for. We are being intolerant of their choices and then crying intolerance and that is plain idiotic.

Just so their lobbies can output more CO2 and bring in more money I'm sure

Yes but you need to expect a very unpolished game with interesting graphics, lack of balance and lots of bugs hiding behind the scenes.

In return, you get a very fast-paced, uncomplicated catcher RPG with a great soundtrack, memorable characters, really fun mechanics, a nicely-sized world for the console's capabilities, and a lot of history.

If you buy a physical cartridge, get the battery changed in it before getting started, that was how the game was saved and you'll lose your save with a dead battery.

This, Vista (with appropriate hardware) and 7 were the last good ones

Would be cool if someone could leverage the source code leak to patch it up and get it using modern TLS ciphers and harden the kernel and OS, but doubt that will ever happen, too much work.

When you're neurodiverse and the guy in the top right 🙃

Florida is a cursed state that has been lost to Republican and Far-Right whimsy, wow

I was a little suspect of the NAACP memo about it being unsafe for Black people but man this just seals the deal

For those that did not get a diagnosis as a kid, self-diagnosing is how they begin to discover that component about themselves (I'm newly there right now in my 30's, parent present in my life didn't even know what autism was until the 2010's, I am going to be seeking a professional diagnosis), so I would be mindful that some of the self-diagnoses may be telling the truth and it's not all fad joiners/charlatans/attention seekers

To your credit, fakers probably would be somewhat obvious, but I don't have real life experience with a fake autist, mostly the opposite, autists thinking they're NT.

This is going to be natural with the federated nature of Lemmy, some instances are going to enable far right rhetoric. Block instances, communities and users you dislike. You have more power here to adjust your feed than Reddit.

It's okay, I'm sure Elon will figure out what the problem is eventually, not sure if Big Blue Bird will still be alive by then but he might just get it!
