I thought they said controversial?

He got immediately dumped into the ocean IIRC

I know the title explicitly says gay men, but then talks about Gay women and straight men as if the two sexualities are all that exist.

I’m sure the number, if you include bi, bi curious, pan etc. Is much higher than 5%.

I’m a mostly straight man (let’s say 2/3rds) and I’ve given more blowies than an ex female I was with for over a decade.

The “best” part is that none of these end up taking into account the fact we’ll cook ourselves/the planet from excess heat waste long before climate change can finish the job

And this was before ai started to speed up the job

Thank you, I’m saving this

This is where lables start to get unhelpful imo. Clearly he’s on the gay to straight spectrum somewhere in the middle, but isn’t comfortable identifying with the non traditional end.

I think a looot more people are some kind of bi, but either don’t consider themselves that way, or don’t want to admit it.

I wonder if a lot more people would be less closeted and resistant tuotheir true feelings if there was no lable for sexualities. Just ‘hey, he’s kind of hot, I want to fuck him’, then do it. Not have people ask if that means your x or y or z etc.

I don’t know if cloony said it before, but a bunch of actors said they’d “leave the country” if Trump got elected, then didn’t. So it’s nice to see someone follow through

I’m confused, was there any expectation it would that I missed? As far as I know half life is dead. They never even finished episode 3 of half life 2 from like two decades ago.

I mean… The 3D idea was pretty cool, and it worked surprisingly well, but I realistically never used it other that for fun occasionally.

I’ve just hacked and started reusing my old 3DS and it’s great fun! Can download most games abs cool hacks/mods to modify them.

Is this able to hook up with the same software as 3DS so I could do the same on it?

The reason you cannot ban weapons is because anything could be a weapon. A rock, pencil, barb wire, glass, car, etc.

I know what you mean, but there’s always nuance, a limit, when it comes to things like this. Just because you can use anything as a weapon, doesn’t mean everyone should have access to everything. Rocket launchers? Bio weapons? Nukes?

Banning weapons wouldn’t make crime vanish. Also the whole point of crime is that you break the rules to do it. Your strict rules would just be broken by certain people hence creating the “crime”.

Similarly, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. If there’s no need to ban things because criminals will do it anyway, why have laws at all? Murder, rape, assault etc.

Ultimately, societally, we attempt to come to a collective idea of what we think is “right”, and then attempt to enforce that.

Initially most are very straight forward, like “don’t kill people”… But then the deeper you drill into it, the more complicated it gets. What if you accidentally kill someone? You give them something they’re allergic to without knowing it? Should you get life in prison?

Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.

Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.

Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour

We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.

To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.

Mistakes as well as “mistakes”.

Yes it is flawed, but it was basically “give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don’t participate”. If they don’t participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.

Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t expect, or push for, better, and I’m not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they’re useless/do nothing quite often.

Walking out won’t ultimately achieve much… But it’s at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.

Actually it has some factual basis. He’s wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he’s the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.

Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.

If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.

In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again

A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience

I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.

At least most of the engineers I’ve worked with have had similar stories from their past

I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.

Then one day she did a “capitalism is actually great” video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.

I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.

I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I’d just stopped watching and written her off as the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.

So yeah, fuck her

I don’t know how universal it is, but movie tickets here have at least tripled since I was a kid, 20 odd years ago.

Meanwhile, me and 4 friends pooled our pocket money together to buy a video game that we could barely afford. Brand new video games are the same price now.

I’m not saying “they should increase their price”, but it is wild how somehow they haven’t in decades
