There is no requirement listed that the assignment be written in English, or submitted on paper. An assignment written in Latin on the side of a cow (with a 1 inch margin) is not explicitly forbidden.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 week ago:
it merely demands a clear “reaction” showing they read the linked article & thought about it.
The student’s essay does neither of these things. The essay shows the student read the title of the article, not the article itself. I realize those as are the type of reactions we’re used to seeing on Lemmy, but a reaction showing they read the article would mention points directly from the article instead of just the general theme of “Trans people existing”.
Regurgitating dogmatic talking points does not demonstrate that the student “thought about it”. It reads like the student read the title, maybe the first couple of lines, then shut off their brain and said “trans bad because others tell me trans bad”.
Again, I realize it’s very common to see replies from people that did not read a or think about an article so this seems normal, but a collage level course is going to have higher standards than social media.

Do the Nazis ever claim they are intolerant of minorities because the minorities were intolerant to them?
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
Group A: “I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine.”
Group B: “I am intolerant of (group) because they don’t tolerate other ethnicities.”
This guy: “but who was intolerant first?”

The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?
Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.

the slippery slope starts somewhere.
You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.

When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.

I don’t know but don’t give up. Try reading my post again, take it slow, I’m sure your can work it out.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
That’s not how that works. You don’t get to decide what a store does and does not sell. Steam refuses hundreds of games a year, this one doesn’t get special treatment.
Saying “I understand why (store) would not want to carry this product” is not the same as saying “no store should carry this product.”

drawing a murder isn’t murder and drawing Noncon isn’t rape.
Drawing people having sex isn’t sex, but it is porn. Verbally attacking someone isn’t assault, but it can be abuse. Drawing a comic where someone tortures and then kills the president of the United States isn’t murder, but it will get the FBI knocking on your door.

The scene where a little girl asks to ride a naked man, and then rides a naked man? You don’t see why that might be problematic?
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
Considering there website proudly shows it is banned on Steam I’m sure this was done on purpose for the publicity.
Why did Epic ban it though? They didn’t get the ‘tainted’ preview version and normally love to have games that aren’t on Steam.

I don’t understand why these assholes insist on people working more hours. What’s the difference to them between 1 person working 70 hours a week or 2 people working a combined total of 70 hours if they’re both paid the same hourly rate?

What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace?
Would it be better if every piece of art was accessible like this? Yes.
Same goes for games. That’s what this thread is: it would be better if every game had X

I prefer the 4 circles glyphs that shows the appropriate face button highlighted. It’s device agnostic and helpful when I’m switching between playing on my Switch and playing on my PC with an Xbox controller.

During EA for Hades 2 if you paused while fighting the god of time he would say “I control time here!” And unpause the game. It was funny, but if I need to answer my door I don’t want to lose my run. Thankfully that has been changed.

Marjorie Green did not not think the rhetoric and threats of MAGA were bad until they started affecting her. She actually encouraged it in the past.
Some people don’t see an issue with a behavior they support and promote until they face it themselves.

Also I don’t. I am not a funeral director and the cemetery does that. I do paperwork, make cards and signs, pay bills, move bodies and make sure they are where they are supposed to be.
