« A thousand things make it impossible to mistake the verdict on queer lives and on women’s lives, as on the lives of those who are poor or not white. The hecatombs of queer youth; a decade squandered in a killing inaction on AIDS; the rapacious seizure from women of our defense against forced childbirth; tens of millions of adults and children excluded from the health care economy; treatment of homeless people as unsanitary refuse to be dealt with by periodic “sweeps”; refusal of condoms in prisons, persecution of needle‐exchange programs; denial and trivialization of histories of racism; merely the pivot of a disavowing pronoun in a newspaper editorial: Such things as these are facts, but at the same time they are piercing or murmring voices in the heads of those of us struggling to marshal “our” resources against illness, dread, and devaluation. They speak to us. They have an amazing clarity. »

you say you listen to queer elders? ok name five of their songs

it’s really obvious from like a few seconds which moderators actually care about the safety of the people here, and which moderators care about cultivating a certain kind of liberal space or discussion platform with no considerations made for the fundamental vulnerabilities of being human, or not Enough for them to sacrifice their perfect vision of Liberalism in favour of actual measures to protect users

if your posts are indistinguishable from that of a CIA plant trying to sow controversy and foil collective action, maybe consider making different posts

the kind of idle linkfollowing which people now see as relegated to sites like Wikipedia or TVTropes was once how the entire internet operated

apparently some newer games use a sine curve instead which feels overly posh

i thought that fire emblem calculated percentages by rolling two d50s and adding them, but apparently it actually rolls two d100s and averages them, but turns out these are the same thing

did lots of thinking to realize that averaging two even numbers between 0 and 100 is the same as adding two numbers between 0 and 50

the internet is for saying cute things your partner did, posting pictures of food, and talking about the plants and animals you see on your walks. i can think of no other reasons to Post

i think the wiki is just Wrong about this level but we’ll see i guess

how many diphthongs are there in english

a gremlin has made it impossible to access the internet on your phone! as a result, you…

the crypto nerds from 2018 have decided they no longer need to be in hiding, i see

writing the best Fire Emblem: Three Houses guide on the internet but it’s only accessible to people on my forum

upset that i am having to learn how gardening works in this game

i love having the top of my two pounds of yoghurt be different from the remainder of the two pounds; this is excellent for me

girls will really just sell two pounds of “cream top” yoghurt

this map is really strongly encouraging a stance of “just do it all with edelgard, make her o.p., you can level the rest of your silly blorbos later”

miklan has a 17% crit chance and the game looked at me and said you. you are the 17%

integer overflow! in the video game

apparently the best time to recruit people is Chapter 6 (or 8) for video game reasons

this map is tactically fairly straightforward but it is just finicky enough that i’ve still had to reset it several times

today i learned enemy units can aggro the death knight if they walk thru him

no dongle will ever beat the cassette tape to aux cable dongle

@aescling do you find savescumming acceptable in fire emblem classic mode or do you think that if you let somebody die you just have to live with it
