Mean leftist who believes in magic genders
Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you’d probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.
Nah. Only 50F to 115f is usable. What kind of weird ass datapoints are those? I mean 10C to 45C are just as random, but at least it aligns with something practical. At least I understand that 200C is twice what it takes to boil water. I have no idea how hot 400F is supposed to be.
I’m glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I’m never gonna buy a PS5.
Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I’ve never finished them and probably never will. They’re good games, but it’s a bad platform. Bloody annoying.
Lego Island 2 was great
It’s a shame they fixed Cyberpunk.
The Romans didn’t need worry about diluting their culture. They freely integrated foreign myths into their pantheon as a way of assimilating foreigners. They believed their culture was strong, too, not just their economy. That it could survive anything.
When you oppose immigration from an economic standpoint, you’re saying “my country isn’t strong enough to hold all these refugees. I’m not going to share because I’m too weak.” You think the Roman Empire felt that way? No, they were conquering countries left and right and turning foreigners culturally and economically into Romans. Because they believed Rome was strong. Politicians who oppose immigration are weak people who believe their country is weak. They are not patriots. The politicians saying “come on in, we have plenty to share, we’re the best because we value and practice kindness”, they’re patriots.
Right, but what about the mimic plant? It mimicks whatever plant is near it. And it can mimic plastic plants. https://www.vox.com/down-to-earth/2022/11/30/23473062/plant-mimicry-boquila-trifoliolata
No /s. America is supposed to be the land of the free, the land of opportunity. What happened to the American dream? Anti-immigration politicians killed it. There is not a single patriot in the world who opposes free immigration.
Laws restricting immigration are unethical, unjust, and unconscionable. Illegal immigrants are heroes who deserve our respect.
I don’t think that’s fediverse and I don’t think their modlogs show up on Lemmy
Children always looked stupid, you just didn’t notice it when you were a child
Tipping rewards the boss. If the workers don’t get tipped, the boss has to make up the difference.
Bosses are legally required to make up the difference to minimum wage if a tipped employee doesn’t get enough tips.
If I tip a cashier, then we’re taking money away from the working class to give to the working class, which means there’s no net change. But if I refuse to tip, the boss has to make up the difference and the working class gets money from the capital class.
Therefore tipping is class treachery. You’re depriving the workers of chances to take money from the bourgeois.
Australia doesn’t do tips. I think they’re saying move to Australia or you’re a class traitor.

Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.
