It doesn’t recommend using reddit. It recommends moving from reddit to lemmy.

I typically play female characters in games too. Always have. They’re something outside my world experience, I can experience the story through a lense I may not have seen otherwise.

It’s nice to see yourself represented but like… Shiiiiiiit dude. I’m reading a book or playing a game to be immersed in the story. Why people put so much stock into who or what a character is; it’s beyond me.

I just want some good stories with good characters. I can’t fucking wait to kick ass as Cirilla in the Witcher. I loved being Girlboss V in Cyberpunk, Senua was stellar.

Open world RPG? Bet your ass I wanna be goth mommy in plate armour ripping out a dragon’s throat.

Also sometimes games had smaller hitboxes for women and little me fucked with that more than anything.

Oh no! A bigot doesn’t wanna talk to me.

Do you think people can do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

People of colour aren’t a thing anywhere? Damn, gotta inform like… 6.5 billion people they don’t exist.

Do you fail to see how people of certain socioeconomic backgrounds and racial backgrounds may have different values and viewpoints thus making them worthy of inclusion by virtue of having different values and viewpoints?

Like… I feel like you’re focused on the racial background of this while ignoring the fact that -to paraphrase you- Poor little Mayo kids will also benefit from DEI practices that admit people based on personal experience over “qualification”.

Isn’t part of the American dream that anyone, of any make and model can find opportunity if they talk to the right person?

The gays vs Gays

The blacks vs Blacks

The poors vs the poor

Coloured People vs People of Colour

Okay, so since you don’t recognise that people of colour are a thing outside of America…

Is it not a DEI program to provide Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive school admissions to the poor.

Not American here: isn’t a large proportion of the USA’s impoverished population made up of immigrants and people of colour?

So… Would that make poverty BS a pseudoscientific category (partly) defined by skin colour?

You misunderstand the hubris of the Ford government.

It’s a full removal of lanes that were recently put in because they believe adding them worsened traffic despite evidence showing the contrary.

Not OP but here’s some personal experience: I had a really hard time agreeing to create training with my dog. I found the entire ordeal stressful for myself until I started to see the benefits.

When the dog needs a break from a dangerous or stressful situation they have somewhere just for them. The cats can’t get to them. If I’m in the kitchen with her and I need her out of the way, she now knows that her bed or crate is a good place to go to avoid being stepped on.

At night, the crate stays open but she crawls in there to go to sleep. Brings her toys in there or special treats she wants to hide from the cats.

It also helps if she ever has to go to a kennel or, like others have said, a groomer that needs to hold her for a bit.

Overall, when I analyze it deeply I feel remorse for getting a living creature used to living in a box. But, she’s never in there for long and it’s always a rewarding experience with treats and tons of praise afterward. Many people may find the process unsavoury as I did. Even though I disagree to an extent… I listened to expert opinion and I’m glad I did.

Brilliant minds think alike.

Knew a pilot who’s nickname was über. Last name? Guay.

A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It’s really worth the watch and I’d love to hear back from you if you do.

If you’re a gamer there’s a Telltale game that follows this account’s namesake. Camina Drummer.

The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it’s on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.

The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.

To be fair the body thing was the first branch Davidians that broke ties with the seven day Adventist Church. By the time David Koresh took power the splinter religion would see two more leadership changes.

It’s weird but the Branch Davidians /=/ David Koresh’s Branch Davidians.

It’s explained in the first 5ish minutes of this video.

It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?

People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.

$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.

$2 for 12 eggs from a friend’s chickens.

No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.

July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.

25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.

The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.

Don’t you mean: “Right there! Stop you, I’m going to.”

Yoda-ass date structure.

What day, of what month, of what year is it? It’s ordered by importance dammit!
