That and the nuclear family is an artificial "ideal" belched from the depths of hell that pits us against our social instincts.

I really hate the misinformation about this (still terrible) bill.

All these kid obsessed weirdos got well meaning people's knees jerking.

The mandate's bad, but there's no verification, only an api to query for the user's claimed age bucket.

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume this whole rant is based on a misunderstanding.

It's bad because it mandates instead of funding some initiative and it's still unenforceable, but there is no verification in this bill.

Ignoring the mandate it's actually fairly sensible.

What do you mean by literary fiction?

I honestly wish there was a way to mute images that don't have alt text. How are you a journalist and not using alt text. It's absurd.

I'm not very educated in Judaism/Jewish cultureβ€”I had latkes with applesauce one year in elementary schoolβ€”but it seems like non-Jews should be careful about how they use "goy" and "goyim" if at all.

Yeah, she's either accepting terrible framing provided by whoever she's replying to or she setup the us-versus-them framing, with Jews as "them", all by herself.

Which is wild because she goes on to double down on the post and also talk about how Israel is fueling antisemitism in a later post.

"I'm sorry," can be used, even without personal fault, to communicate sympathy and solidarity, e.g., "I'm sorry for your loss," is not an admission of murder.

... even partially to blame for apologizing to be a good thing to do.

I would not blame him for the full extent of the pain anyone that heard the slur from him experienced because the wound wasn't put there by him and because his recognition of the word as terrible enough for it to be a coprolalia tic is because of the same people, but you don't have to be ...

It is unfortunate that Whiteness exists.
It is unfortunate that Black people are given trauma and marginalized.
It is unfortunate that the world does not have more compassion and understanding for this man and his struggles, and wishes for him to hide himself away from the world.

I know cis people don't realize the cruelty, so with gentleness and empathy for them, let me try to explain.

Being trans is difficult. Instinctively, you already know this because you think it would be better not to be trans.

You get a gold sticker if nothing on your website moves without me telling it to do so.

Bruh. If no "AI" content made it into the game (lol, lmao even), why are you self reporting?

"Teacher! What about yesterday's homework that I didn't do?"

It's quite common, but I wouldn't say tables of stats are a requirement.

I'd say writing the characters as if they were self aware in a role playing game is what defines it.

Basically just the gamification of reality by reality.

Funnily enough, I don't remember seeing any character sheets and I just started book six.

I think Matt Dinniman does a good job of integrating stat changes into dialog.

Thanks for the alt text!

Though some data or jumbled letters made it in.

Useful Tips for Dealing with The Republican President

Bernice King, daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King, posted this advice online around 2018. It's been edited:

1. Never use his name, EVER ("the Republican President" will do).
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone. It is a Republican regime.
3. Do not argue with those who support them - it doesn't work.
4. Focus on their POLICIES, not his orange-ness or that other one's makeup.
5. Keep your message positive. They want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk.
7. Support artists and the arts.
8. Be careful to not spread fake news. Check it before posting.
9. Take care of yourselves, AND...
10. RESIST!

Plus, when you post or talk about the Republican President, assign his actions to "The Republican Administration" or "The Republicans". This will have several effects; the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like. He will not get the attention he craves.

With alt-text, useful principles to keep in mind.
