"You are just proving that gender is socially constructed": Drag queen slams Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • Ha! Was just about to reply with “Dropout subscriber?”

  • "You are just proving that gender is socially constructed": Drag queen slams Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • It’s not just the look, it’s performative. It can be any sex assigned at birth and any gender - including nonbinary, as the subject of the article identifies.

    Depending on your viewpoint, there’s an argument to be made that KISS, Alice Cooper, and many hair metal bands were a form of drag.

  • Don't bother promoting IPv6 as "the future". It's never going to be the default.
  • I think you’re going to be surprised

  • Donald Trump Endorses Louisiana Law Requiring Ten Commandments in Classrooms
  • Quick - someone ask him to list each of them! I wanna see his followers do mental gymnastics when he obviously doesn’t know them.

  • A simple explanation of why Trump lies, and why his base loves his lies
  • I think he’s the perfect example of “clever but not smart.” Genius implies any of what he says or does is intentional - it’s not. But because he’s lived his whole life in privilege and the weird miasma that is the current reality, he’s able to wedge himself into a position where half the country who should despise him loves him instead.

    The reality of Trump appeals to very few but the idea of Trump appeals to many with the awareness to be afraid, but neither the intellect or the courage to understand why - so they’ve latched on to the symbol of him and stick with it to avoid the cognitive dissonance.

  • Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons
  • Yeah, I get that - it’s downright silly in a lot of ways, but I found that fun myself. If looking for Robocop-type things, you did see this, right? It’s a pretty good shooter, and the anti-corp tone is straight out of the first movie.

  • Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons
  • I mean it objectively didn’t look like any Fallout game, it certainly didn’t play like any Fallout game, and it was space opera not post-apocalyptic. But please explain to me exactly how it’s just like Fallout? And which Fallout exactly?

  • Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons
  • They said “From the Creators of Fallout and Fallout: New Vegas” which is true because it was Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. That doesn’t mean the game is going to be FNV. Every interview they gave, they were clear about it. But a bunch of people saw the word “Fallout” and immediately stopped listening to anything else.

  • Inside Netflix’s bet on advanced video encoding
  • Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the studios’ requirement - every big streamer I know of requires certain platforms for HD and higher streams because of the copy protection required.

  • Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons
  • Panned mainly by folks who expected “Fallout in Space” in terms of open-world and modding, but it was smaller in scope and great in writing and tone. Would recommend watching Tim Cain’s YT channel for the vids about it. The main valid criticism was that it was too easy, but I really enjoyed it.

  • Texas doctor charged for leaking health records of transgender kids to far-right extremist
  • Um, I never said it did. I said this doctor released the information to “own the libs” because he’s an asshat.

  • You can turn on Scottish slang in the subtitles, reminds Still Wakes The Deep developer
  • Scots is a completely separate but related language, not a dialect

  • [Question] what exactly is hard about adopting IPv6??
  • I think you’ll find the devices support it pretty well but some mobile carrier networks do not.

  • Texas doctor charged for leaking health records of transgender kids to far-right extremist
  • The worst part is that these weren’t even his patients - he just decided to share their private medical records to own the libs

  • Washington Post Columnist Argues Biden Should Replace Kamala Harris With … Hillary Clinton
  • Ah yes - Kathleen Parker, one of WaPo’s conservative opinion writers. Why anyone should care what she thinks or writes about is beyond me.

  • Doctor accused of illegally obtaining health data of Texas Children's patients, in crusade against Transgender medical treatments
  • The big difference is that all those exceptions only apply to an authorized party, i.e. a health care provider authorized to care for the patient. In this case, the doctor in question was never authorized - none of the patients were in his care.

  • Doctor accused of illegally obtaining health data of Texas Children's patients, in crusade against Transgender medical treatments
  • You seem very confident in your answer, but the actual text doesn’t seem to match your assertions?

    There are three exceptions to the definition of “breach.” The first exception applies to the unintentional acquisition, access, or use of protected health information by a workforce member or person acting under the authority of a covered entity or business associate, if such acquisition, access, or use was made in good faith and within the scope of authority. The second exception applies to the inadvertent disclosure of protected health information by a person authorized to access protected health information at a covered entity or business associate to another person authorized to access protected health information at the covered entity or business associate, or organized health care arrangement in which the covered entity participates. In both cases, the information cannot be further used or disclosed in a manner not permitted by the Privacy Rule. The final exception applies if the covered entity or business associate has a good faith belief that the unauthorized person to whom the impermissible disclosure was made, would not have been able to retain the information.

  • China has become a scientific superpower
  • Not to mention that much of their supposed technological advancement is the direct result of stealing tech from western partners (who have been required to have a Chinese “partner” in order to do business) or outright industrial espionage.

  • EXO-6 Unveils Museum-Grade Collectible Captain Picard Figures from Star Trek: The Next Generation
  • Yeah, it’s strangely beefy looking. Giving off Yul Brynner vibes

    A new report reveals that operatives with Republican ties are trying to help Cornel West get on the ballot.

    >”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.
