I was not expecting to get hit in the face by disability representation Pikachu today. Good lord.

Is there a list of other states? Because this is pinging me more as weird evangelist Christian than worker protection in overall origin.

I also need to write. If you write, I will write.

Checked out a few titles from the 1632 series from my local library (leaving off the year bit for space): The Atlantic Encounter, The Kremlin Games, and No Peace Beyond the Line. The whole series is one of my comfort reads when it comes to the idea People can be Good, Actually.

From what I understand this specific claim is unverified and yeah, does not actually help or improve things.

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

He's creating a hostile environment very quickly where shit is going to start breaking down REAL fast.

No more politically correct and following the rules of engagement = he's going to force the military into doing as many outright war crimes as possible, even if it means feeding chains of command fake information to get them to act and attack on it.

He's so vile and incompetent.

None of these words belong together.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

You didn't "fail" to make an unworkable situation work. It was not on you to make the unworkable work. You should not have been put in the position of believing that it was your job to make the unworkable work. You don't deserve to be punished for the unworkable not working.

Depending on what you usually use/need in Google Docs, Word or similar it has some big holes feature wise, but I've moved all of my writing that isn't planned for publishing/posting onto it.

My biggest needs are the lack of autocorrect dictionary and the lack of in-line editing.

Ellipsus just updated to allow for .docx importing and exporting but it's got a ways to go.

a lot of you haven't rewatched firefly recently and it shows, in the sense that you probably shouldn't rewatch it ever if you want to keep thinking it was good. it was a mass delusion that i also participated in but in my defense i hadn't started reading feminist blogs yet at the time.

They posted that last year, yes.

This just nails in what that told us.

Seriously. The big red flag is that nothing they state on their behalf suggests they tried to advocate or fight for their customer's privacy, which is a huge issue.

Yeaaah. That on its own automatically throws *any* of their pro-privacy claims into question, because while governments can make requests based on law, they as a company can make an effort to push back for their customers, which they didn't do.

This should not be a surprise to anyone who remembers the pro-MAGA statement, unfortunately.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Even corporate-owned and paid for websites are starting to buckle under the constant pulls, and the AI databases going up are making it doubly worse.

Which is a good reminder for me to up my Wikipedia donation, actually.

i think fandom would do well to bring back the concept of "a reading" which is different from "a headcanon". a headcanon can be anything and is total fun. a reading works with the text to come up with particular interpretations of the work, its characters, etc.

This is a pain in the ass but this is AI's fault from everything online being scraped to shit to the point of starting to DDOS pretty much every website, it's absurd.

Seriously, the artists need to come over here more, the jump is indeed worth it, really.

To be fair, Pu'ar is pretty positive and generally thinks the best of others.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Toriyama is the OG for "btw aliens" for opening up sequel territory and so many other staples.

Shonen Jump Weekly pressures its bigger manga to copy him.

Yeah, that definitely is a big incentive, lol.

One of my earliest memories is my dad teaching me how to type DOS commands because he got tired of doing it for me so I could play my games.

Reading and writing need incentives, interest, and reasons on the kid's part.
