Opposite end of the aisle here, but I hope my comment is welcome. I think a lot of this stems from the bioessentially prescriptivist attitudes a lot of people have. It's for similar reasons that trans women are often framed as predators in women's spaces that trans men are framed as "smol beans" to protect, or misguided by the Trans Agenda™. It's an assigning of hyperagengy to AMABs and hypoagency to AFABs, and it's really gross.

The most "fun" part I'm guessing is when you call it out as a reactionary attitude and cue the shock and horror to the thought, that maybe unsolicited infantilization doesn't paint transmascs in the positive light they think it does.

This is entirely unsubstantiated but I've heard it's been used to groom minors on Xitter

That's nice I wonder what they humanely do with the male chicks

Well in that case you starve a slow death of malnutrition as your body is unable to properly process any of the food you eat, unless it's also rotated 180 degrees along the 4th axis

What a phenomenal country to allow this sort of thing to occur at all

So am I supposed to flip the sushi over to dip the fish side in the soy sauce? That seems a bit awkward

I mean, bosses input reading my heavy attack to suddenly turn their three move combo into a four move combo 50% of the time feels a bit lame. For instance the dancing lion suddenly going into the spray carousel after it would have exhausted its combo and rested otherwise. My main issue is on the inconsistency.

Don't get me wrong, that fight was really fun and I overcame it, but there are many such cases where it feels overtly like the game just threw in the extra attack as a "fuck you" while trying to learn the mechanics. There might be a subtle cue to the boss's body language I didn't see but there's also the issue of the camera in encounters with large enemies.

On the whole though, as frustrating as it may be at times, often there's still an underlying pattern. The only fights I think are explicitly unfair are the ones with adds or multiple enemies that add a lot of uncertainty especially if some are off camera. The twin gargoyle fight comes to mind, as does the Godskin duo where you explicitly have to kill both around the same time or the other respawns.

I linked it because I recall it having a lot of cogent points and being relevant, and because I don't remember off the top of my head the specific allegations, I didn't want to dig through a two hour video I've already seen at the exact moment of writing because I only had so much time and research to dedicate to a Lemmy comment. It's valid to be annoyed by a long video linked as an argument, but my comment was a "too long didn't watch" version of it... that actually left out some details like the founder also being a fucking eugenicist.

I also use an adblocker, and the vid has some opinions obviously but was mostly going over evidence, recordings, and related allegations.

You don't have to watch it if you don't want to. I linked it as a secondary source. While primary sources are preferable and it might have been a good idea to do the legwork myself, I wanted something posted quick to maybe make people think twice on the "donate to TST" call to action in the initial comment.

TST is not a super great org unfortunately. They do stuff for great headlines but apparently little in the way of effective advocacy. I've also heard that there are pretty bad issues with misogyny among the upper echelons. While it's extremely long at 2hrs, Dead Domain's video on the subject goes into great detail.

It's really unfortunate, I wanted to believe they were fighting the good fight but I don't know if I can in good conscience anymore

Ass Claction?

>dinner is done
>announce dinner
>everyone shows up 10 minutes later

Some of the food is cold because I didn't cover it, but why should I? It would have been fine if they came to the table when I announced dinner.

>next day
>dinner is almost done
>remembering yesterday, I decide to announce dinner 10 minutes early so that 10 minutes later is "on time"
>everyone arrives to the table immediately, remembering that it was cold yesterday not wanting that to happen again
>mfw

The lines coming from the label nodes add a lot of unnecessary visual noise. I think it's already pretty clear what's what based on the circles this graph is arranged into.

Seems a bit weird to me that submissions are via a Gmail address.

I have a version of this where I dream I went back to high school for some convoluted reason like redoing the classes to get better grades or take classes I wasn't actually able to. It's gone several ways, but it usually involves getting the schedule mixed up and finding out two of the classes are during the same period but I can't do anything about it or don't realize until it's far too late to fix.

Well, here we go again...

There's also the aspect of designing roads in a way that discourages driving dangerously, like in the Netherlands. Raised crosswalks, speed bumps, narrowed lanes, physical barriers, etc.

If we make completely straight, flat roads with wide lanes going through neighborhoods, people are just going to drive down them fast because that's what subconsciously feels like the correct speed.

Wouldn't that be nice!

So I'm just curious, where the hell did all the wonderbread hate come from? It's like suddenly everyone has a vendetta against it. I'm not particularly fond of it myself in lieu of traditional bread but like, it's fine?? The added sugar/HFCS is fucked but I'm pretty sure you can buy varieties that don't have that.
