This is kinda the first reply that really gave me a new angle to think about- multiple in fact. Both “vulnerability to fear tactics”, and “keeping people occupied” are a lot more immediate systemic impacts that can benefit maintaining the status quo than the things that had come to mind for me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I wouldn’t have had the perspective to consider it from your angle and I appreciate it!

Hope you have a good one :)

Yeah, I guess that feels like the obvious reason. It just feels like there’s gotta be something more immediate and tangible. Maybe there isn’t though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone know the strategic reason for right wing authoritarians prioritizing people having kids? Like project 2025 talks about it a bunch, but nothing totally clear cut comes to mind as to why. At least not that feels like it fully justifies how clearly important it is, and that isn’t just me dismissing it as meaningless control or whatever. It feels strategically important

In this case it’s clearly important militarily, but that’s also not likely to help in the present conflict in Ukraine. It’ll take a long time for those kids to grow up, but at least they’d help mitigate population loss

This guy pees.

Holy shit, I fucking love this 😂

I’m sending this to anyone I’m making plans with for the rest of eternity

You’re very welcome! ☺️

An apt post title, lovely use of color!

I appreciate that they went the extra mile and sealed the soul of a screaming man in at least one of them. Contractors are always cutting corners these days

I made an HTML page once in elementary school for an elective, and I also don’t get it :)

I just wanna be a part of the conversation lol. But also what the fuck even is this meme 😅

This sounds ruder than I mean it to, but some context on why this is news would be helpful :) I have no idea who this is

Someone mentioned that it wasn’t being maintained anymore, but if I try void again I’ll have to take a look at that. Though its definitely not the same as a traditional app store interface like gnome software (flawed though it may be) where you can see the icon, screenshots, even reviews, and I would definitely really miss that functionality when browsing for something. And given I use gnome it may be hard to make it look at home on my desktop

I was really enjoying learning how to try and set up void, but I really like having access to a graphical app store thats easy to browse 😢 someday I’ll have to revisit it

Not the person you replied to, but I’ll have to give that a shot if I make it to IKEA someday :)

Gooootcha, I follow what the point you’re making now!

also, I appreciate you filling me in cause I wouldn’t have read the article and he context you provided is much more useful than the headline

Hope you have a good one :)

I mean, that kinda seems like why I’d want there to be housing specifically for trans women. Building housing specifically for trans folks seems like the wrong way to solve housing discrimination or housing unaffordability. I think those problems would probably be more effectively soved through other means

But building essentially shelter housing for trans folks without a safe place to go seems like a great way to create a space for them that is safe and trans inclusive should they find themselves in crisis, and unwelcome or uncomfortable using other faculties that are disproportionately serving cis women who may or may not be welcoming or understanding.

Now they just also have to implement policies that address housing unaffordability, and housing discrimination. If its like the situation in the US, kinda feels like thats never gonna happen 🙃

A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.

I don’t like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome

Its a fun format, I like it :)

Fuckin lmao

You’re right, thats fucked up of me, I apologize
