- Comment on There Is No Male Loneliness Crisis. What’s Actually Happening Is So Much Darker. 4 weeks ago:
I feel like part of the reason for socialization is to build a safety net in case something happens. People would often know their entire neighborhood and what people did in case they needed help and it required more social contact in order to gain access to that safety net.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I feel like being trans is harder than being cis in terms of having access to traditional means of support, so trans people have to build those means of support within their communities. It is more life or death to need friends that you can rely on if you’re trans because social systems outside of their communities will misunderstand you at best and be actively life threatening at worst.
A cis male doesn’t have a metaphorical gun to their head making them get friends.
- Comment on Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'" 1 month ago:
You little have reporters thinking it is a console.
- Comment on GTA 6 devs have to opt-out of crunch, claim Rockstar North insiders, because it's baked into their contracts 2 months ago:
It was delayed two years because the game is stuck in dev hell. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re going if you can’t steer in the right direction.
- Comment on Xbox claim they're "not reducing [their] investment in games" despite looming cuts, as report claims under 2.5% of Microsoft's total workforce are in the firing line 2 months ago:
That’s the next cut coming next week.
- Comment on Xbox layoff plans reportedly include closing Arkane, canceling Blade 2 months ago:
Who would buy it? All the large game companies are imploding right now.
- Comment on Buy 1 Louisiana, get 10 free! 2 months ago:
It sucked more for the American Indians. The Louisiana Territory was sparsely populated by Europeans and African slaves when it was sold. Most slaves in the area during emancipation were brought by Americans.
- Comment on Buy 1 Louisiana, get 10 free! 2 months ago:
Yeah. It is the same reason why Russia sold Alaska. It was better to sell to Americans than have it get conquered by the British.
- Comment on Doctor Who and Star Trek showrunners discussed possible crossover 2 months ago:
Or make two episodes where they are in the same setting, but are doing two different things. They can cross paths, but they shouldn’t interact.
Or maybe not. Star Trek lore is messy enough.
- Comment on Justinian was a Belisarius Merchant and a tyrant 2 months ago:
The reason why kings often led armies at the time wasn’t because they were better at it, but because they couldn’t afford to let another person have an army and be seen as a good ruler.
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 year ago:
Not characters, but places.
Earth is extremely competitive to gain any notoriety, which is really bad for a lot of people as notoriety and talent have become what is valuable in human society. People leave Earth because, while it is comfortable to live there, it is really hard to move up the social ladder. It is a lot easier to move away to get a better position, hence why humanity still colonizes other planets while Earth is paradise.
The Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarire civilizations were going into decline when the Federation was formed. This is why Humanity became the dominant species of the Federation; the other species effectively gave up trying to be powers.
