And - of course - LGBT+ rights are now a "sensitive topic".

The Tokyo High Court ruled on Wednesday that Japanese laws that do not recognize same-sex marriages violate the country's Constitution. This is the second time a high court in the country has handed down such a decision.

Yeah, it's another case of employees paying for the mistakes of management. The company was probably doomed the moment Sony decided that they wanted them to create yet another live-service shooter.

The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans." The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
Everyone knows why it's different for him: He is white.
Not mine. I only cross-posted it. The honor belongs to the OP ShareMySims who posted it on midwest.social.

Yeah, people who see the long list of minorities that would be negatively affected by a Trump presidency and insist that there is no difference between the candidates are telling on themselves: Who gets the presidency would make no difference - for them. And they have no empathy for anybody else.

Telling people in danger that their attempts to save themselves are contemptible is nothing but cynical callousness.
One more reason: The dish tastes exactly the same every time. No variation at all.
But when you cook real food, there is always a little variation because the ingredients are usually always slightly different (vegetables more or less watery, meat more or less lean, a little bit more or a little bit less salt or flavouring). It's one of the main skills of a really good cook: To perceive the subtle differences during the preparation and to bring out the best possible taste incorporating the differences.

I think it's extra funny that Liefeld very likely traced a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger for that one.
Because this confuzzled me, note that the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are two separate things.
The Digital Markets Act is the one which is meant to remove economic barriers by "gatekeepers". For example the DMA is used to force Google and Apple to open their app stores.
The Digital Services Act is the one that regulates (among other things) moderation, political neutrality and removal of extremist content on social media platforms. That's the one Thierry Breton oversaw and threatened Elon with.
So while exTwitter's lawyers may sigh in relief, because they got out of the DMA; the DSA is still looming large.
Thank you. I love it too. The colors are just perfect.
The robotaxi show case had been announced ages ago, so it seems unlikely. But we can still revel in schadenfreude, because it was a complete dud and Tesla's shares lost almost 10% of their value in two days.
Can't come soon enough IMO. Not necessarily because I want Reddit to suffer, but because I want Lemmy to thrive.
