My point is that it is a universal issue, all while many people are trying very hard to represent it as women-specific.
When male voices are shushed both under their posts and under those focused on women, they don't have much of a platform to speak out. And they need it, too.
If all sides have an opportunity to say things without being interrupted, there is no point in chiming in and saying the other side has it worse.
Everyone's focused on whether Jesus can do it or not while completely forgetting regular people can do that
Just, remove the water, c'mon.
Let's hope people won't get so reliant on LLMs and so uncritical they follow through
Yes, kernel level access is what makes it a much bigger deal.
Oh, if it's pure "people support", let's remove the pledge store and just have donation button. One that doesn't give you anything in game, but supports the project.
Star Citizen uses clever psychology and social engineering to make people spend obscene amounts of money on in-game ships. I know people who are so catches and addicted to this shit they spend their family savings on the new ships. And that is by design.
They also regularly wipe the Persistent Universe for a reason, and the reason is not this bullshit aUEC farming, but the fact that ships bought for real money do not get wiped, stimulating purchases for your very real cash.
By going to release and having equal persistence for ships bought by all means, they'll immediately slash their profits so, so bad, and they know it. They don't want to go release.
No, we also have a sickle

Sorry, couldn't resist. Swamps can be great indeed!
If only in part because women became workers too, allowing capitalists to strip more as family can live on two incomes.
But at the end of the day, the true enemy is not liberation - but the capital. Nothing stopped us from adopting a 4-hour work day or 3-day work week as women entered the workforce. Nothing but inherent laws of capitalism and desire to squeeze as much work as possible.
Kernel level anti-cheat is never justified.
Other than that, true!
You're up for a ride if you have a read.
Game is 11 years in alpha development, still a buggy mess that requires a supercomputer to work smoothly, only recently got a second star system (dozens more are pinky promised, and hundreds promised since beginning of development), is constantly exploited in all ways possible, barely has any actual content...
...which absolutely didn't stop it from earning over half a billion dollars (yes, billion) by selling in-game ships for hundreds and sometimes thousands of very absolutely real dollars, as well as such monstrous packs.
It is good, period.
Local manufacturing is politically advantageous and may employ some people at the same time, but that's where benefits end.
Europe didn't reject Chinese face masks during COVID-19, and Europe shouldn't reject Chinese solar during a climate emergency.
Solve that first, and political struggles later.
