I see what you mean after looking up co-opted. I was looking for a term that indicates joined by to influence and amplify for your own goals. Yes, feminism has brought about good and real tangible change, but it was also used as a major distraction (my original claim).

As you said, the first wave was indeed racist and many parts of feminism are still targeted at the white, middle class woman. The outrage for the sexual assault on a white woman is magnitudes larger than that of a colored woman. Colored women are also taken less seriously by medical professionals as well as the judiciary. There was a documentary in Germany about how non-white women are treated by doctors and it was disgusting to see how they were brushed off as “it’s in their culture to exaggerate”. The same happens in France to Muslim women.

More like your reading comprehension is 0.

I’m not sure why you’re saying “no”. It doesn’t seem like you’re contradicting at all. The 60s were second wave feminism.

Of course, but the point is how much energy is put into what. We should be putting most of our energy into resolving the wealth gap, but instead we’re deeply divided and easily get distracted. Celebrities, feminism, blm, “immigrants”, movies, TV series, games, … . In doses they are fine, but the minority cares about solving wealth distribution and don’t vote on solutions.

Amen. Couldn’t have put it better.

I don’t understand your reasoning. Do you think being married is less complicated than not being married? That logically doesn’t make sense. Doing nothing (not getting married) will always be less complicated than doing something (getting married).

Why do you need a symbolic commitment instead of just commitment? 17-30 is a period full of change for many people. You might decide to study or pursue a vocation in different places, you might find out one wants the city and another a small town, you might find out your political ideologies are in the midst of a major change, and so on.

It doesn’t really seem as if you’re actually open to another opinion but you’re looking for affirmation that you’re making the right choice. Maybe ask yourself why you need that affirmation. Do you want the same things? Which dreams do you have? Which plans? Where do you stand politically and ideologically? What does marriage mean to either of you? Did you have the idea of marriage by yourselves? Was it parents, or society, or media, or really just you who had the idea?

Marriage isn’t a fairytale. More than half of them fail. If your reaction to my comment is “fuck you, I’ll show them”, then you’re definitely getting married for the wrong reason. Just be clear about your reasons. If they are genuine and you both are on board. Then go for it.

No. There’s no guarantee they won’t get greedy and start selling my data anyway. They’d have to have a really good pitch and some way to back it up that would get me to pay. I yet know what it is, but I haven’t seen it yet.

“The USA is like Russia in 2012”

That doesn’t bode well for the US.

Would be easier to just call Luigi often enough.

I think that last question makes sense. Facebook for example just changes their AI on the regular for no apparent reason and doesn’t care about feedback. Youtube will introduce new rules for monetization and will treat their content creators badly because they have nowhere else to go - or so they are made to believe. So, that question is valid.

The first one though… no idea what they’re going for. The first part seems like they’ asking “when you think about buying games, is the first though ‘I’ll get it on GOG’”. Most people think about Steam or a PC when buying games or gaming in general. But that second part… no fathom.

People have other things to worry about. It’s concerning but there is a barrage of shit going on that this barely registers. And companies will always choose what’s cheap in the short term. They believe the risk of something going wrong is small enough to warrant the possibly large impact. It’s like that everywhere: in the car industry, chocolate industry, clothing industry, and so on. There’s always one seemingly small decision that could fuck up the entire company but isn’t worth investing in in the short term.

I wish cloudfare (whatever it is and whatever it does) had more reach and went down for longer. For so long that competitors would be considered. But alas…

I’m waiting for good news from Povrosk. Hopefully something similar can turn the tides there.

I mean, if you sign a letter, you’re on the shitlist already. Might as well join the union if you’re going to get canned anyway.

Why don’t they join the union?

Be very flattered somebody thought I was worth drawing.

I was but I found my way back.

The first blind man I’ve met on reddit. Hello.

Most money for AAA games goes to investors anyway. Piracy is a net-positive.

Gamers don’t care. They’ll buy the thing even if it meant selling their grandmother.

If UBI doesn’t nothing for wealth inequality, then by definition giving it to rich people won’t do anything. A rich person getting 2k/month means getting pocket change. A poor person getting 2k/month will make a much bigger difference because percentage-wise it’s a much bigger chunk of their disposable income. Also, one of the major points for UBI is that it’s universal meaning a lot of bureaucracy can be removed if there are no strings attached and little to no conditions.

I do agree that UBI might not solve wealth inequality but it can be an important part of opportunity equality.
