Depends how you read the “and”, it is only a statement about those who are “trans AND nonbinary”, not “trans OR nonbinary”. Would be a weird choice of wording though. Not sure how many people would consider themselves in the group of non-binary and not trans, but certainly lots of agender people consider themselves not trans, but those same people I think typically don’t consider themselves non-binary either and typically wouldn’t care that much about pronouns to begin with. Also doubt there are many binary trans people who use pronouns that aren’t the default for their binary gender (ie: women who use he/him or neopronouns. Maybe xenopronouns among furries? But like I feel like a lot of those people mostly do it as a criticism of the institution of gender and don’t actually take them serious?).
Anyways, agreed they just seem to be trying to be over-the-top with the wording, but understandable that someone making a petition would feel pressured to write like that. Would be nice to see body-type and pronouns (in games that use them) be separate settings as default in all games. We’ve been able to name our rival “Dickface” since '96. Doesn’t seem like much to ask for similar control of our own character’s pronouns.
How dare thou use “you” as a singular for Sawzall. He/she/xi/fae/ze/whatever clearly identify with 1000-year old English. What would someone do with verbs after singularly “you”? Put plural verbs like “are” there? Would be ridiculous.
Sounds more like a way to make almost everyone annoyed. All the text would be more awkward for every player, so people who don’t care about NB pronouns would justifiably be annoyed: it would actually be a case of identity politics making a product clearly worse (granted, it would be conservative identity politics that caused it), unlike all the times conservatives get mad because minorities exist in media sometimes. And NBs would know the dev put in more work to change all lines of text to remove all personal pronouns just to avoid adding another option for them. It would be a much more direct “fuck you” than doing nothing at all.
I wish English did not overuse pronouns (personal or otherwise) because of the ambiguity and misunderstandings caused by pronouns, but if its gonna change its going to have to start with people changing how they use the language, not some 8 year old game to try to shoehorn in.
Given how many people are upset about those polices, to the point of using armies of police to harass college students for being against those policies, it seems that it is an important issue to a lot of Americans and its not exactly a secret how unpopular current international policy is. They might not be average Americans, but those who are likely to vote democrat are those people they’re using violence to silence.
I grew up with SNES and N64 era, so maybe I’m old enough?
PC. Consoles are too much to deal with. Cartridges are probably better than discs, but either having to change games in either is probably gonna make me choose to just not play instead. With PC, everything is just a few clicks away.
Gotta wonder if this type of thing is partly an attempt to undermine public schools to shovel more money towards for-profit schools. Or if it really just is culture-war BS to try to appeal to his base…

For what i heard, a lot of people on the Linux community use Krita for image manipulation, even though, it’s intended for digital painting, and GIMP is the one intended for image manipulation, because people don’t like the GIMP’s UI....
Changing icons to color helps me find which ones I’m looking for. Seems weird it defaults to it looking like they’re greyed out because they won’t work on the current selection.
Not the first TAS-approved level that people have beaten either. Bombs5 also uploaded thanks to tool-assist and also was cleared a year ago. GG to Sanyx for TtH and Fast for Bombs5. Trials of Death is another feat to be cleared at all, which was cleared RTA by its creator and about a month ago by jcthechampfogz .
SMW kaizo hacks also exist and not all creators clear their own hacks and lots of older hacks were intended to be cleared with savestates (but people choose to take the challenge of doing them without). Fruit dealer clear (first clear was by kezcade I believe, followed by lungfish, boothebun, and tjb0607; the last of which did all practice without savestates and defeated it 8 times in a row - a boss intended as TAS-only). There’s also Hacker’s Dream’s last level, but I think its creator may have RTA beaten it themselves at least and intended it to be at the upper edge of human-viable.
Does this just make trans people not trans and make cis people trans and give them dysphoria? Only changing the mind, not the body? If so, then what does this do to NBies? Would more agender NBies become poly gender, gender fluid enbies become gender solid, and multi gender enbies become a gender?
Was the tradeoff meant to be specifically difficult for ace trans people?
How many feet of extension cord will a home owners association let be seen drug out on the front lawn? PVC pipe and a small shovel are cheap. Easily fixed in an afternoon. Not exactly fun and assumes the person is physically able to do that.
What if there are no exterior outlets? Most homes do, at least where I’m at. If they’re in the back, that might not be practical still. Depending on the situation, adding a outlet could be less than $100. Which, if you can afford an electric car and gasoline, should be pretty affordable. But adding a dedicated circuit would certainly add more expense.
You going to leave a window open with an extension cord fed through it? Maybe fine if you live somewhere without neighbors… probably a good way to get robbed otherwise.
People put entire AC’s in their windows. There’s ways to ways to lock windows that are partially open 100% of the time.
What is the exterior outlets were shittily installed and are aren’t rated for whatever your particular flavor of electric vehicle you purchased?
If its just the outlets, fix it. A GCFI is like $20? So just replace them if they aren’t already GCFI. Bigger issue is amps in the circuit. Unless it happens to be on a 20amp+ circuit, there’s not really room for other things to run at the same time I think and it would probably be better off on its own. Also, if you have a lot of people there and have two vehicles you want to charge overnight, each would need its own circuit.
Live in an apartment complex? Then its not your home to be building a charging station at. A lot of apartments in the last couple years around here have been adding charging stations (including the one I’m at).
Of course situations vary. So, its not always practical or cheap. But you don’t need a fancy level 2 charging station to charge a plug-in hybrid.
Laser death rays are probably effective at preventing them from voting, but also may lead to the laser death ray user to not being able to vote either. So probably not worth it.
Due low voter turnout, it should probably be at least 6 just to be safe if you’re in the US or UK (95% confidence interval wouldn’t include 0 or 1 voter, assuming 60% turnout)

However if people vote uncommitted in the primaries because they are convinced Biden is Genocide Joe then they aren’t going to want to vote for Biden in the general election.
If he changes policy, why not? People can make mistakes. Ideally, I’d rather not support someone who has such a past history and I’d be skeptical that the change is a long-term change rather than just trying to appeal to voters in the short-term, but given the other likely outcome, someone it certainly would be a lot better outcome.
Used it for cloning some laptops recently without much issue. Cloned one laptop’s primary partition onto an SD card and then imaged the others no problem. Laptops were 256GBs capacity (but only like 30-60 GBs used) and the SD card was 64 GBs. Seemed pretty simple to me.
There’s a lot of options for those who want to do things like deploy over a network, but I haven’t messed with them seriously (I didn’t have the ethernet cables to do it - wasted a bit of time trying before realizing they weren’t connect to a network; maybe there’s a way to connect via wifi, but I didn’t see it)

If its just 24 hours, just get some powerbanks for your phone and something to collect any pee/poo you have to release. Food/water just means more waste to deal with.
Poor animals? They get to have a great time with Bigbryce. If they wanted to leave, there’s a million of them. They could easily kill Bryce or just leave if they wanted. Nothing in the wish would prevent those. Honestly, I’d worry more than Bryce… even if they thought that’s what they wanted at first, after a couple times they might regret what they brought upon themselves.
Bring able to save a significant portion of your income more than the US poverty line for 30 years without some black swan life event happening to drain it also partly depends on being lucky or/and not having children. The median US household makes plenty to become millionaires for maintainkng a reasonable QoL if there aren’t any such black swan events or children involved.
For my mom, it was a custody battle for children that initially wiped her life savings. She since has often worked 100 hours weeks at a job that pays above average for a blue collar job to make enough to back up to retire (plus happens to have worked at the same company long enough to get a pension, something they phased out for anyone less senior than her), but that’s not something anyone should be expected to do be able to retire, so I’m not quick to judge people for not having accumulated money.
But a lot of people waste money on convenience in ways that definitely add up cumulatively over the decades. $5/day adds up to $150k after adjusting for inflation over 30 years. A $10/month subscription is $10k over 30 years. Reducing costs like that in a few places can cumulatively get you to at least theoretically being on track to be a millionaire.
Sure, but at the median income in the US, you don’t need to be depraved or depressed. At least not for monetary reasons. I’m not saying you need have to cut all subscriptions. A lot of people have much more than one reoccurring charges or spending habits that could either be reduced or cut completely with little to no effect on QoL.
Memes about calling others eggs are often controversial. Most of the memes are either just general trans memes that aren’t really egg-specific or people making fun of their own egginess.
at least match you with two thumb scroll on the touchpad.
Depends what kind of wheel they’re rollin’. Some, a single flick of the finger is enough to keep it rolling high-speed for a while. Even if you could keep up with that, it would be miserable unless you had momentum settings set to impractical levels.
The G502 has a thumbplatform, so that’s where my thumb goes. My pinky can’t touch the mouse cause my ring finger is in the way. But its slightly tilted, so its not exactly a horizontal mouse. Not nearly as vertical as this though. I just move it via the top of my palm. A vertical mouse seems like it would be uncomfortable in my right hand but fine with my left (maybe related to mixed handedness, maybe related to the different ways my wrists healed after breaking).
Imagine on top having very sensitive information from your medical records public. Imagine you are dropped out of the most prestigous top athlete bracket, because your body fat ratio increased half a percent too much after you had an injury.
Isn’t that already a thing for sports with weight classes? Having fairer matches makes things more interesting in all divisions.
You don’t even need more divisions. Just more precise ways of making them.
It gives no more information than body fat percent. Unless you’re already making an assumption about body fat %, muscle %, height, etc, you can’t guess someone’s weight from the outside.
For the top end of cycling (and probably other endurance sports), things like V02max for top athletes seems be pretty common knowledge already. But I’m not sure how objectively that can be measured if someone is intent on suppressing it to stay in a certain bracket. So height would still probably be more useful, at least for flats.
Imo, either make divisions based directly on factors that matter, which varies from sport to sport but most often comes down to things like height and weight, or get rid of them.
