Trans rights are gamer rights!
Essentially, more-or-less, broadly speaking, predominantly, etc. (for debatelords, that they may peper and solt it as they plese)
Paying thousands of dollars for something that drops most of its value in just a few years can leave the buyer feeling cheated
How is that any different from non-synthetic diamond rings? lol
I expect diamonds to fall off entirely in the next decade or so. Their (natural, later artificial) scarcity and (manufactured) tradition was all they ever had.
It obviously isn’t because of , and I don’t believe it’s just something intrinsic to adapting one medium to another (notable exceptions like Dune notwithstanding (it’s all internal monologue and nuance, and you really can’t do much with that in a video format (I don’t consider the old Dune movie to be the same thing really, but it’s still a masterpiece in its own right and dear to me))), because I’ve seen that done very well before, and I’ve never gotten a satisfying answer why this keeps happening.
They get some guy who wears those Hollywood-ass glasses to every interview (with the squareish trapezoidal frames of transparent plastic), with that Hollywood-ass haircut (not-short-not-long tousled-ish) who admits and/or demonstrates that they don’t understand or even like the source material, and lo and behold it shows through in their writing.
Check me if I’m being boomerish but I just can’t buy that any of these shows/movies/media are getting by on any semblance of merit, nor a genuine preponderance of types (who I’m skeptical exist as such, I think they’re just movie enjoyers who take what they can get) who want this either. I think the media companies are just that good at gaslighting and advertisement, then patting themselves on the back about what a good job they did.
Often the casting, costuming, effects and so on are on point, obviously costing several millions, but it’s built on a foundation of “This is what MATH can do! (applause)” writing that I feel absolutely comfortable critiquing because, yeah, I could do better than that actually and I’m a terrible writer. Why not just… write a good show instead?
As far as I know Lenin was the only one known to have had an STI.

Had a dream last night that I was introducing a friend with leftist inclinations to hexbear, and the whole front page was posts about cum.
I know it doesn’t count for anything and it’s been said a million times before, but holy fuck us “tankies” (which is to say, anyone left of a moderate democrat) have been crowing about Israel for literal decades, being told we’re just antisemitic (including myself, a Jew) and what do you know we were right again. Just like how we have been right about everything that happened in the last few decades with the notable exception of the Russia/Ukraine attack. Are liberals going to take a second look at the framework we used to come to our conclusions? No. Are we going to be taken a smidge more seriously now maybe? Absolutely not, lets get a Harvard-grad ghoul on instead.
Yes you definitely can. They’re one of my favorites.
Definitely bake them, don’t fry them. It makes them stay together better.
