I mean, the counter-argument is, why spend time on issues that not even your own voters agree on? I think the majority of voters, on either side of the aisle, probably do not actually know any trans people personally, which is why it’s so easy for Rs to paint them as what they want. That lack of personal stakes makes it hard issue for people to get behind. And, frankly, I think there’s a lot of assuming in online discussions that every democratic voter is on board with the idea that sex and gender are different things, but I think in actuality rather a lot of them are probably either uncomfortable with the idea or just unsure. And then when you get into questions like whether prepubescent children should be able to medically transition…there’s just going to be a lot of people not on board with that, which is precisely why it’s a point Republicans hammer on.

Here’s what I think really gets to the root of why Newsom is doing this: a lot of those Democratic voters probably feel like they can’t express their true feelings on the matter for fear of being labeled a transphobe. So Newsom is, in essence, giving cover to those people (who are probably a significant portion of the liberal wing of the party) to say “maybe I’m not really fully on board with all this trans stuff yet,” specifically picking out women’s sports to rally around because polling shows that people are overwhelmingly against trans women participating in women’s sports. And it also serves as him separating himself from those Democrats, i.e. the ones who completely fucked up what may have been the most important election in the history of the country. This is a very calculated maneuver, and it probably has nothing to do with his personal beliefs - because he’s a politician and I don’t think successful politicians believe in much of anything. And I think you will see lots of other Dems do similar.

It means nothing, just like karma

Not placing a value judgement on this, but you can probably expect a lot of Dems to distance themselves on trans issues. It’s a group of issues that takes up a lot of air, and divides the party, while uniting republicans.

Ironically, missing American Truck Simulator.

And definitely not known for Dune or Spider-Man.

That cuts both ways since there’s also not really any consequences to getting downvotes.

You can certainly get arrested for defying a court order. It probably depends on how far it escalates. I imagine a lot of these people eventually realize that they’re not going to get out of paying and give up.

Not really, no. You can block communities that allow those types of posts, however.

Edit: I say this because I’m making a couple of assumptions here. Mainly that you’re not talking about direct links to onlyfans, but rather the people who post pictures of themselves to tangentially related communities trying to lure people into clicking on their profile where they have a link to their onlyfans. You can certainly block individual users so that might be good enough. As for blocking links to specific domains I don’t think that’s supported on the web client (it would a nice feature) but it might be available in some of the apps.

Very low cost cosplay

This seems paranoid to a silly degree

Edit: Oh it’s police propaganda, no wonder it’s bad.

Yeah, waterfall would be “you collect requirements to build a rocket to Mars, 2 years later you have a rocket to Venus and it turns out they didn’t think oxygen is essential, they’ll have to add that in the next major release.”

This is pretty common, banks are where new notes are released into circulation.

I think I preferred the design of the ps2, personally.

I would definitely call that blue.

Which reminds me of this

It’s funny how tame the puma sisters are compared to stuff these days.

Been using an Aeropress lately. Largely because my drip maker is currently in need of repairs. It’s not bad.

Don’t think you’re going to see that in every mobile client…Sync doesn’t have it for example. I think the benefit is more in remembering than typing, too.

I’ve been thinking that there should be a better shorthand for linking to a community on a specific instances. Something along the lines of giving each instance a shorthand up to 4 characters or something, and then do community links in the format /<shorthand>/<name>. So give sh.itjust.works sjw as a shorthand, and /sjw/privacy becomes the community name. I think that would make it easier to remember the one you mean.

There’s a track skip but no fast forward in mine, unfortunately
