Clearly hasn't started yet?

Stop stooping to their level.

It's ridiculous too because it's creating whats essentially a reverse wealth transfer. Millennials & GenZ have to give all the money they earn (doing actual labour) to people who did absolutely nothing to earn that money. Housing as an investment doesn't make sense from any perspective, it's one step removed from a pyramid scheme. Prices cannot keep going up indefinitely when no value is being created.

God this shit makes me so fucking angry. Our generation has been fucked by the previous generation and they won't fix it they've caused because it hurts their bottom line.

Being selfish is hetero normative? I'm probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 60 points 5 months ago

To be fair to OP, they really should've stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It'd be like if sliced bread was still advertised as "Now sliced for your convenience!" or whatever.

OK. I hate to "defend" a terf but I don't think that's her point. JK doesn't want to be black. She doesn't think she should be allowed to change her race and she knows that most people agree with that. She thinks it's an uno reverse card to go "ha! so how come you're allowed to change your gender then?" as if race and gender are the exact same thing.

Anyways, congrats on your transition Queen.

Lots of people do. Wear whatever you want.

Honestly I respect the Hermione comment. Obviously Hermione was written as white, like duh. She was expressing her support for a black-casted hermione because her race is unimportant. It was just a cheeky way of supporting the casting choice amid the backlash from racist fans.

The Dumbledore being gay thing is... idk. I think it makes sense that he can be gay but JK should have been explicit and not canonized his queerness after the fact for clout.

Obligatory fuck JK for being a TERF.

My interpretation agrees with you. I suppose it's possible he only saw the thousands of years of being a tyrant and was rejecting that. But I still think he saw the worm transformation.

Funny, cause nothing breaks immersion faster for me than product placement.

Steam may suck at extra goodies like streaming but they sure as hell don't suck at selling games. Constant sales, cloud saves, pre-downloads, a solid friend system for co-op games. They nail all the important shit and that's really all that matters to most people.

Futurama has always had pop culture references, the original seasons were not about pop culture. Most references were decades old making them essentially history references, not pop culture references.

~~It wasn't till the comedy central seasons that we had self-referential shit like Fry re-enacting the shut up and take my money meme~~.

The above statement was incorrect. See below.

Hey, any progress is progress. I'm not a fan of the liberal government right now but just the fact that they are talking about this and (hopefully) implementing some sort of structure for it is a big deal imo. I think UBI is a good idea but I would imagine implementing it successfully is going to be a very difficult task.

I paid for no-ads Reddit back in the day but when I tried to transfer purchases nothing happened. Is this intentional? $30 seems steep for no ads but I'm a cheap bastard.

Sorry to ask a question that's probably been asked before, couldn't find an answer.
