  • Fun fact social genderism is a construct. So the only thing that defines what is masculine is what the avg person does.

    It’s not different then slang.

    At one point people called losers squares. That changed and fell out of fashion.

    Masculinity is just the same. It’s slang, it changes by the decade and century. If enough men do something that’s masculine. If enough women do it then it’s feminine. If everyone does it then it’s nongendered.

    Gendered terminology is deeply rooted to language and class. So just do what you want, get your friends and community to do it. Start a movement or don’t.

    End of the day, it doesn’t really matter. Its going to change no matter what anyone wants. Humanity is after all a social animal, and what the tribe does at large decides our language and views.

    So do your part and be true to yourself. Your influence may be small but together we are strong.


  • Or you could have a situation like my cousin who ended up attempting to kill them self over body dysphoria with out realizing it even tho myself and many other members of the family kept trying to help them and even offered to pay for therapy because they were too dense and depressed to realize what was wrong or what everyone around them was trying to do.

    Sometimes the best help help you can give someone is to just be fucking blunt about and metaphorically bitch slap them up side the head with the trout of truth.

    There’s no reason to force it past that. You can’t walk the journey for them. But dear god some people DO need to be lead by the nose to the starting line.

    But seriously acting like everyone HAS to figure everything out for themselves no matter what is a recipe for disaster. It only hurts others to be that upright about some bullshit rule that has zero fucking basis in reality. We are humans, a communal animal. We HELP each other no matter if that’s softly or with the grace of a brick falling from the sky.

    The only rule is you know your friends and family ones better then anyone who doesn’t. Do what’s right based on what you about them.

    And anyone trying to push the whole “egg must hatch on its own” bullshit needs to shut the fuck up and stop pushing a poor God damn fucking excuse of common wisdom. It’s not a one sized fit all rule and it causes more harm than good since it shouts down nuance and circumstance.

    Toxic positivity is a MASSIVE problem. And this is a great example of it. It sounds good and comes from a place of kindness. Which makes it hard to speak against. Since anyone who tries will be yelled at by the masses.

    But after seeing what this bullshit can do when everyone is too scared to cause “harm”. Because of some nonsense rule. Fuck that.

    Do what is best for you, your loved ones and community. And don’t be afraid to be blunt and “crack” a egg. Some people DO need that help.








  • I mean children can get debit cards. Having a bank account has never and should never be a bench mark of age.

    Heaven sake I had a bank account at 12 years old.

    Unsecured Credit should realistically be straight up illegal to give to children.

    So no it’s not a huge deal at fucking all. Unless you have a sizeable amount of financial literacy. And don’t understand what a credit vs debit card actually mean.

    At best you can make a weak argument that having to get a credit card is annoying. But 300-500 dollar low limit free credit card with no requirements or annual fees. Is available basically from every bank in the world.

    Get it and throw it in a draw to rot for literally forever. Hell you can even cut it in half it and freeze the card. Making it a zero security risk.

    Then you have a unusable, frozen account. That exists purely as proof that your old enough to have a credit card. Even if it’s stolen it’s unusable and still perfectly safe.

    So you don’t even have to care about data breaches beyond what you currently do.








  • Last time I played I got curious hit up a buddy who cheated and grabbed walls. I haven’t used cheats in a shooter since I was 14 I’m fucking 34 now. I’ve gotten kappa twice legit and had basically quit the game over being pissed about the cheaters.

    And holy fuck playing around for a few weeks was absurd. I was mostly just questing, no farming or killing for the most part.

    But there were so many obvious cheaters that I didn’t even have issues finishing the kill quests doing a HvH only rule.

    I was worried I would mistake people who are actually good for cheaters but no. Not even remotely, it’s so absurdly obvious it’s funny.

    Honestly HvH was more fun then normal tarkov just because it actually was a level playing field. Definitely a different experience.

    Tarkov REALLY is one of the most cheated in shooters there is.


  • The best choice if you need to customize things is to not use gnome.

    The gnome team does not want you to change things, they want you to use it as is. They go out of their way to be obtuse and stubborn.

    Trying to cope and claim gnome is worth using at all if you don’t like vanilla gnome is cope of the highest order and actively just going to hurt people by making them suffer though a shit experience.

    Use the right tool for the tool for the right job. Gnome is not a multi tool stop trying to make it one.



  • Around here if you can’t refuse. My coworker is currently fighting that battle. His basically being threatened by the state that he either complies, home schools and compiles with those requirements which still has google requirements. Or he has to deal with the legal penalties of not sending his kid to school.

    The accomodations is basically pay out of pocket for a private school. Because there is no accmodation for “free” services. Even the “poor” can do it so it’s a non optional expectation.
