How prevalent the use of the exact phrase ‘Your body, my choice’ is irrelevant when the intent behind it is so common in other espoused rhetoric. The fact is that too fucking many people are happy to tear up a woman’s right to self determination and force women into situations that put their lives at risk. I don’t think we can ignore any rhetoric that supports or gives cover to such attacks on a woman’s autonomy.

At this point I would not be surprised if we started seeing feminist groups becoming armed and violent. And as much as I have a disdain for political violence, I don’t think I could condemn them for doing so.

I’m not really a fan of my king, the queen before him was far more likeable.

Pithy remarks aside, I don’t see how the far left can be blamed for Harris losing given the pretty sizable margin by which she lost. And why would leftists be motivated to vote for a party that not only doesn’t offer them anything in terms of policy, but actively courts so called ‘moderate’ Republicans?

So is it that leftists are too small a group to be worth making political concessions to, or are they a large enough group to have an effect on elections?

Why do Democrats feel entitled to the support of the left when they don’t offer anything to the left?

But can you wreck a conversation like a group of Kirovs?

As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it’s classic meaning. There’s also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.

The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.

Fair points. I was mostly thinking of situations like downloading using a separate device, writing to a usb drive or SD card and installing via that. Downloading an installer and using it is just downloading without using an app store.

I’ve always took side-loading to mean installing from local storage, as opposed to downloading from remote storage. As far as I’m concerned downloading from a third party app store should not be treated as side-loading.

As opposed to your stance which is fuck people who don’t want to have their language massively rewritten. I think it’s far more reasonable to make individual accomodations for the non-binary folks that we interact with and accept that language has limitations and can’t be changed overnight.

Damn trainsesual agenda, wanting better rail infrastructure.

Not anymore, there’s a blanket.

You get sentenced to a lifetime of Dell.

But it comes with your choice of meme.

Maybe it’s how long it’s been in development, maybe it’s how many times that they’ve changed direction, or maybe it’s just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.

I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I’m just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I’m now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.

Yeah, I was way off… I guess that’ll teach me to check my working

Also, good point with the comparison.

Well if I round the total homeless population to 600k and take the approximate US population to be 300M, then that would give a 2% overall homeless population.

So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that’s the physical equivalent of this situation.

I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for… By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I’m using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for… At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.

Being found liable in a civil trial is not a “conviction”. Calling trump a proven rapist is accurate, but not a convicted rapist. To be a convicted rapist he would have to have been found guilty in a criminal trial.

Yes the distinction between a proven rapist and a convicted rapist doesn’t change how much of a piece of shit Trump is, but it is still a clear legal distinction.

And so the piece of shit continues to be a piece of shit. Though there is an irony in Trump mocking the ineffectiveness of a wall.

Well fuck… I guess one way or another our lifestyles will have to change. Either by severe action to mitigate climate change, or by the impending climate catastrophes things are going to be unpleasant.
