[meta] this community's rules and enforcement are hot garbage
  • There are a few community archetypes that will always gradually, but inevitably, cease to offer anything of substance without a strong understanding of moderation. Unpopular opinions, communities built around making fun of [topic], any communities that can be used for creative writing, etc.. This community is a step further than most in that its subject matter is actively antagonistic in addition to being a potential space for creative writing. It’s doomed to fail without bizarrely dedicated mods or a queue of posts pending approval.

    Chinese retailer caught selling Starlink terminals to Russia
  • But… but musk said that starlink isn’t meant to be used for WAR! He surely wouldn’t lie in order to attempt to spin his intent to prolong the war and sell to the other side through an intermediary!!!

  • What are your thoughts on x-men’s recent foray into gender politics? Do you believe it’s uncharacteristic of the comic or was it a natural progression?

    For example, Mystique being transgender and Morph being non-binary.

    To me, my X-rule!
  • I can see people bopping along to music and ignoring the non-chorus lyrics but x-men, the half century old segregation allegory with enough content to occupy a small library… that is a hard sell. It feels insincere.

    To me, my X-rule!
  • I require an example of someone stating that x-men isn’t woke. I don’t believe anyone could avoid understanding that.

    Alabama Rules That Frozen Embryos Are 'Children'
  • Alabama is looking to police and control people, the text they’re deriving the idea from is irrelevant aside from being invocable and authoritative. Read The Handmaid’s Tale to see a glorious breakdown of the methodology.

    Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait
  • Don’t 3d printed guns crack after like 2 shots? Next they’re going to require ID to buy pipe and nails in order to guard everyone from modern improvised muskets.

    Trump Predicts Mass Exodus From NY Over His Court Loss
  • NYC may actually have trouble maintaining a police department if the trumpets march out. Could you imagine his face if Trump accidentally created the first large majority left-wing police department?

    Another “patent troll” defeated by Cloudflare and its army of bounty seekers
  • If they exclusively targeted larger companies, they’d be fine with me. Generally, the way they operate is to first strike smaller, more vulnerable companies to build their case before suing a larger one. Patent reform can’t come soon enough.

    Can we solve the mystery?
  • I muted the game after an hour of anime noises so I have no opinion on the music. I honestly hated the combat, though. It was the worst parts of every combat system I’ve ever encountered, with slow enemy attacks coupled with slow movement and high HP that just made for long, easy slogs. Like master mode on BOTW. I enjoyed the genshin koroks and exploration, though. Those were fun.

    Can we solve the mystery?
  • I’ve attempted to play genshin a few times and it seems both predatory and mind-numbingly boring. What’s the appeal?

  • I always thought that “femcel” was the feminine gendered version of “incel” but the memes here obviously don’t follow that. Did I miss a meeting or is the name ironic?
