- Comment on I wonder if K-pop Demon Hunters is so popular because it's a ready allegory for the fight against fascism and authoritarianism... 1 week ago:
Yeah, totally not literally disappearing people en mass to feed their souls to Gwi-ma. Just totally harmless, innocent demons.

No company has to tell me that they are inclusive. I just assume that they hire the best person who applied for any given job. If that person was LGBT, I fully expect them to have given that person the job. If you have to tell me that you are, that means you werent.
Welcome to being gay in society just a short few years ago. We live in a world where Alan Turing was arrested, charged, and convicted of being homosexual and chemically castrated as a result. It didn’t matter that he helped the Allies win WW2 and he wasn’t hurting anyone, it was a crime to be gay. When AIDS was first ravaging the homosexual community, there was talk of just letting it run rampant as it was just killing ‘the gays’ not anyone important.
I’m happy that we’ve made progress as a society that this isn’t as well known anymore, but that doesn’t change that it did happen.

I dunno, these don’t feel the same to me.
Having LGBTQ representation is a way of trying to attract customers: “Get a Mastercard because we’re LGBTQ friendly” is different than your boss saying “Jim, I know you have a wife and kids to support, and that you’re a valuable member on this team; but we’ve decided it’s more cost effective to have this LLM code our app and have two junior developers clean up the code, so you’re being laid off.”
The quote I’ve seen and agree with is something along the lines of “The AI push exists to try and give the owners of ‘Capital’ access to ‘Talent’ without giving the talented working class people access to ‘Capital’.” It exists solely to try and make paying workers redundant.
Having a gay character in a show isn’t anything like that at all IMO, unless your the type of person who thinks homosexuality is contagious and/or that you’re scared you might realize you’re gay if you watch two men being romantic with each other.

“You mean if I delete data, then it’s gone? No matter what platform?”
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 4 months ago:
Fucking same.
I deleted my main account once they first came out with the reddit recap, and deleted my replacement when they fucked RIF, never to return.
I still lurk without an account sometimes, but that’s all they’ll ever get out of me.

Oh my fucking God.
Is that a Z-board I see? I had one of those forever ago. Think I ended up tossing it when I discovered mechanical keyboards.
Super neat idea though.

Can confirm. It’s the only game I play at this point.
Finally got to Fulgora. I want that mech suit.

What was happening when you tried to connect?

Plus, there’s all the cool stuff Valve has been doing for Linux gaming. All the effort into Proton, the steam deck, etc.
At this point, I’m sticking with Steam to reward them for investing in Linux.
