This dating sim game looks rad as hell and having "we'll put a white person in the game" as a STRETCH GOAL on their Kickstarter is the kind of power move I love to see https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/validategame/validate-struggling-singles-in-your-area-visual-novel/

"Ok, now we need a desk lamp."

"I made a list from the website! Our options are Jansjö, Ranarp, Forså, Hektar—"

Suddenly, with an unearthly roar, the stench of brimstone filled the air. In a swirl of smoke and flame, a dark figure appeared, with robes of pure shadow and fiery eyes.

"WHAT FOOLISH MORTAL DARES SUMMON ME, THE MIGHTY—" The demon stopped abruptly. It frowned at the tasteful Swedish pine furniture on display, then sighed. "Dammit, not again."

also when i say "you shouldn't criticize people for the software they use" i _absolutely_ mean that you shouldn't criticize people for using Pleroma or FreeTusky or whatever the fuck

like you cannot simultaneously hold the opinion that "fediverse technologists" are too stuck up and don't build software for real users, and be upset with people for using the software that meets their needs, no matter how garbage the creators

that's judging software on ideology and that's explicitly what many critics of FOSS say you shouldn't do

the flip side of this is that you absolutely should not criticize individuals for the software they choose to use but should instead strive to make software that meets their needs and, almost more importantly, push for legislation that restricts the ability of MS, Google, Apple, etc to target successful free software projects for death

@chosafine foss is a good hobby, that’s what it is. At least when talking about the desktop world of it.

It’s not really world changing for the average person.

I wish more people would understand their hobby isn’t revolutionary

The spell had gone off incorrectly, but the witch decided it was a success nonetheless.

She was more graceful than she had even been, and she had sharp claws, a long fluffy tail, sensitive whiskers and some damn fine night vision!

All the better to stalk deep into the night, plotting, hunting...

Hunting?

Hunting small things that skitter.

Or better yet, a wiggling toe under thick sheets!

No rush to fix this spell, either way.

ADHD is like “I’m more powerful than God, I can write a novel before lunch, I’ll fight a tiger, I can chew glass and shit champagne flutes”

and ten mins later

“I do not have the will to open this envelope”

Motel 6 settled for $12 million after giving info of 80k+ guests to ICE.

The company that owns Motel 6 now owns Ancestry•com.

If the Motel 6 debacle bothered you, expect the same from Ancestry•com. Your DNA data is not safe there.

The author sighed. "I’m not sure where this story’s going anymore. I don’t even know what they should all do next."

"You know, you could just ask one of us,” muttered one of the characters on the page, clearly frustrated.

So the Netflix twitter account posted a thread about watching The Matrix through a trans lens and kind of just held everyone’s hand to show them some obvious (and less obvious) examples.

https://twitter.com/netflixfilm/status/1291439319245234177?s=21

However the real meat of this meal is in all the cis tears in the replied complaining about the very idea that this movie could have trans themes. These people are SO MAD about it, and I love it. I want to fuck with every movie these assholes have ever enjoyed.

Relating to women → gender euphoria
Relating to queer women → GENDER EUPHORIA

it's funny watching people try and argue the point of a film with the person who wrote it. if Lana Wachowski says the film she and her sister created is a trans allegory, then you saying "no it isn't" doesn't make you look like an intelligent media analyst, it just exposes your transphobia

This is something I feel really strongly about. At first, I also thought there wasn't a real problem because it wasn't real children as well. As I learned more about how I was groomed and manipulated by my abusers, I came to understand how it was used to normalize the abusive activities. We teach kids that cartoons are ok. Kids play games emulating cartoons all the time. This is weaponized by child abusers. I'm the first one to defend artistic expression and especially the kind that squicks others. But that expression has unacceptable consequences here. And the argument that pedos can look at this and not real children doesn't work either.
