  • 🐆 Right-wing trans woman finds out "gender-criticals" cannot be reasoned with

  • Nah I don't think we need full political power. I'd settle not giving it to anyone on the right at the moment. Lets not have any more societal backsliding at least.

  • Underage sex and HRT are not really comparable.

    That said I advocate for puberty blockers rather than HRT for adolescents myself. That allows them to safely postpone their decision if they are unsure and lets them decide when they are adults.

    I'm not a doctor though, it's best to ask an endocrinologist (I think) to determine what's best for a child.

  • Backing up Blu-rays and watching them on your device.

    Unlike with music, you can't buy DRM-free Blu-ray quality movies outside of Blu-ray. If you stream a show or movie, even if you have "bought", you don't own it.

  • I swear October is not a thing in Middle-Earth, they have different month names or something. He did say that in the movie though.

  • I've been using https://kitsu.app/ for over 11 years.

    That said, it's a bit janky. There are some minor bugs that will likely never get fixed because it's on a shoestring budget.

    You can always import/export your library as XML though, so you can go back and forth between Kitsu and MAL.

  • I'm guessing that's supposed to be Ori from the Ori games (e.g. Ori and the Blind Forest) and the slug cat from the game Rain World.

    If you add the Knight from Hollow Knight you'd have the main three "little white guys in big scary world" genre.

  • California to become first state to sell cheap insulin through state-backed program

  • Validating who earns too much or too little is a colossal task that leaves opportunities for people to lose access to food because they haven't logged in that month to report their earnings.

    It also often costs more in bureaucracy, people and infrastructure than simply giving it to everyone.

    It also causes social stigma as you are seen as poor for using a service.

    If it's available to everyone, then none of these problems occur.

    Rich people will typically self-opt out of these systems anyway, as they will want the better expensive version of the thing anyway.

    For case studies where this works, see:

    • Free school meals
    • UK NHS

    For places where the system doesn't work because of income cutoffs, see:

    • UK benefits (working a little will cut you off, plunging you back into poverty
    • Basically all welfare programs

  • British public wrong about nearly everything

    Jump

  • Yeah, living in the UK I'm not surprised.

    Right wing lies are spread non-stop to blame people on benefits, immigrants or the EU for problems caused by poor policy decisions, usually those made in service of people who are already rich.

    I've personally met people who think that benefit cheats (people who are getting "too much" financial support from tej government) are a huge problem, when they make up only a tiny amount of our costs compared to wage theft, military spending and tax breaks.

  • Controversial take (though maybe not in this community):

    If it's needed for survival, it should be free. No exceptions.
