I moved back to Windows for the games years ago. But I’m never going to install a copy of Windows 11 because fuck that shit, and the next time I move to Linux, I suspect games won’t be a problem.

Have they fixed Discord streaming yet?

Excellent point. The Netherlands is doing some things right, but not everything.

Sounds like the Netherlands is doing things right.

Halo has the UNSC Navy, the UNSC Marines, and the UNSC Army working together in space.

I don’t really think the sexual violence rates in the furry community are higher than in the general community. There’s just more awareness of what consent is. I mean I could say “look at r/jailbait, straight people have a pedophile problem”, and I’d be right, but only because society has a pedophile problem.

“Unga bunga me invent new process for food. It called cooking. Make less parasites in meat. Very good.”

“Cooking bad, garg. We no want processed food.”

None of the furries I am friends with tolerate Nazis

…anymore

MOST of the furries I am friends with did not ever tolerate Nazis

TBH I do know someone who has a “not checking if the character they’re posting porn of is underage” problem, and I’ve actually only seen them do it with human characters, though they have no special preference between humans and anthros.

There are enough dogs in the world. Adopt.

This plan doesn’t need Republicans to cooperate. It only needs one parent to try, enough money to hire a lawyer, and a judge to do their job of following the law.

Well if the bare minimum is identification, then all you need is a first name and a last name. No gendered pronouns or titles necessary.

So you’re making the argument that if I were a Florida teacher, I introduced myself as Mx Endocrinous, wore nonbinary and trans and gay flag pins, had an it/its pronoun pin, and referred to myself as dronegender, this would all be perfectly legal so long as I didn’t explain what any of these words or symbols meant?

It also kinda makes you feel like shit, but in a really good way.

Been doing some googling. Most stars are dwarf stars, and the habitable band of a red dwarf is so close the tidal forces are way stronger. It might turn out that most habitable planets are tidally locked.

There’s a book called The City In The Middle Of The Night that takes place on a tidally locked planet. It has politics, science fiction, and lesbians.

What about a planet so distant from its star that the day side gets as much light as earth at twilight? 2AU from a sol size star, there should be a quarter as much light during the day. What about there?

Introducing yourself as a Mr means informing students you identify as a man.

Also the words man and woman are banned according to law.

Side note:

If marriage is between a man and a woman as Republicans claim, then Mrs is not only a gender identity but also a sexual identity, and is doubly prohibited.

(Arguments that Mrs entails allosexual identity are equally predicated on Republican misconception, in this case lack of understanding of the sex/romance distinction)

I’ve seen that story before, and it doesn’t answer my question. I don’t think this is an issue teachers can solve by malicious compliance doing the right thing. This is an issue that parents need to solve. Because the bill allows parents to sue (and therefore establish legal precedent), not teachers. If a teacher uses genderless language, as you say, they’ll get fired. But if a parent sues a school for having the words he and she, and wins, it is now an incontrovertible part of the law that he and she are forbidden in Florida schools. This means teachers can no longer be punished for following the law, it means they have to follow the law, and this will have a much bigger impact on headlines due to its wider and firmer scope.

Why hasn’t a parent done this?

I don’t think it would be evil to ban gendered pronouns in Florida schools. I think it would provoke a great deal of careful thought in these schools and broaden students’ horizons. And I also think the Republicans would immediately undo it to “save the kids” by repealing the Don’t Say Gay bill inside of a month. So ultimately no harm done, and quite likely some good for the students. But on a broader level, it would do a lot of good by repealing the bill and making Republican policies look hostile to Republican voter interests, delegitimising the party’s image in Florida and swinging the state left.

Oh, I didn’t do that. I made a new account and posted the same comment, and THEN I deleted my old comment. I didn’t want to spam the thread with duplicates.

I was banned from Beehaw for being “pompous”. I have narcissistic personality disorder, being pompous is one of the symptoms. I was being nice, polite, and complying with everyone’s requests, but I did so pompously, because I’m disabled. You’re 100% right, Beehaw is run be ableist radlibs and their word “nice” is a dogwhistle for “neurotypical”.
