yup yup yup always. this is one reason why we can't play as women in video games. women do not have this problem when playing men
Lesbiandrea@lesbiandrea.bsky.social · 5d agoRemember Faith and a .45? It was a co-op game starring a man and a woman where the revive move if the other was down was to kiss them. Men in QA being uncomfortable taking part in *straight* kissing when playing a woman was cited as one big reason the game got scrapped. Men are weak.
[taps the sign] According to USGS GNIS "Per Secretarial Order 3453, Lake Ontario has been renamed to Lake America. The basemaps for GNIS are in the process of being updated." So Google (& Apple, OpenStreetMap, & everyone else who ingests GNIS) will start calling it Lake America within a few weeks.
Colin McMillen@mcmillen.dev · 2y agothis is both: 1) an extremely stupid situation caused by a deeply unserious individual and 2) 100% the correct product call by google they do this all the time for disputed names, and even change borders depending on who's viewing, e.g. the disputed border between India and Pakistan.
This is a perfect example of why the recent SCOTUS decision to vacate the national stay in the USPS vote by mail case is bullshit. They said that the issue wasn't ripe, but in every case where Trump doesn't have an explicit court order stopping him, he proceeds until apprehended. Like a criminal.
Trump cuts down oldest cherry blossoms in DC for his golf course
A few years ago the cherry blossoms given to the U.S. from Japan in 1912 had to be removed to rebuild the flood wall on the Tidal Basin in Washington D.C. The oldest trees left remained within East Po...

The vast majority of Democrats have no idea who Hassan Piker is. Here's why they need to denounce him anyway.
Of all the sins, one of the extra sinny sins is teaching your kids to hate gay people.
Just saw a Farming While Beige TikTok that has been my feelings about the far right's movement to make women baby incubators because "Am man!" 90% of you can't open pickle jars. 75% of you can't lift 50 lbs. 100% of you can't whoop my ass if you come for my lady. It be like that sometimes.

I really feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US. This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick. Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you. IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure. This is unconscionable:

Okay, I know we all want some other 80 year old who's name starts with a D to pass, but honestly? I'm kind of glad Dolly did before him, only because he will see what it looks like when a nation mourns for somebody they love. And I hope it infuriates him. I hope he chokes on his rage

It can and will get worse—so much worse—if you don't vote.
I am 100% sure I want a Speaker of the House who doesn’t take a “secret” meeting with Jared fucking Kushner.
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 2w ago“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.” BRUH.
“A 1-year-old baby..." This is Trump's America. All he cares about is skin color. He allows planeloads of white immigrants to enter the U.S. without any applications or paperwork. Meanwhile, he deports American-born children because they are people of color. #Impeach #Convict this fascist/racist!
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2w ago“A 1-year-old baby appeared in immigration court without legal representation in Arizona and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.”
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.
It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.
Amanda Mull@amandamull.bsky.social · 2w agoTech execs do not have, like, a theory of mind for people who aren’t tech execs. If they did, they wouldn’t be so frequently baffled by how repulsive normal people think their whole deal is right now
Important point here! All of the other privately-owned forms of state police surveillance are not going to be any better than Flock and their equipment is likewise equally full of easy-to-access valuable metals
NPR@npr.org · 2w agoDozens of cities have canceled their contracts with Flock. Some are switching to other companies, but privacy experts say they're no better than Flock. n.pr/3UN4P4G
Dear white people, For the millionth time, do NOT call Black people “articulate.” This is NOT the compliment you people intend it to be. You are coming off as surprised and condescending without even knowing it. - Black Management
There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
