Omniraptor [they/them]

How young is young? This sounds like a great idea, but I’m pushing 30yo and have never finished school or had proper steady employment. Wonder if that will be a deal breaker

rumors of them transferring Wagner units from Africa. Those guys have a chance to do the funniest thing ever

lmao

tsargrad tv is a mouthpiece for konstantin malofeev, a fairly prominent oligarch with interests in telecommunications companies (among other things) and monarchist/orthodox christian politics. they even had alex jones on at one point.

That sounds based actually, we should do this to our own oligarchs next

I don’t agree with all of them, but some are rly bad and seem intractable to me, especially for larger servers.

This is a good rundown on some of the issues

I mean isn’t that how all militaries work, unless they rely on a draft? Even on the Russian side a very large portion of the expeditionary force is contract troops and PMCs (at least before the Wagner kerfuffle), not conscripts .

I hear there’s another neat website called google that lets you find the doi of a paper by its title

No, they both should remove the material basis that creates incentives for this kind of posting. but censoring the posts is easier so

I hear sci hub is a pretty cool website that lets you find a paper by its doi number

i mean i pretty much was, op admitted to having brain worms around the term so i was trying to suggest re-examining/reclaiming it from that angle

the problem is pathologizing and shaming behavior that doesn’t actually harm anyone- it doesn’t matter what specific term you use to do it, hence why the term “agp” is in quotes.

i was trying to push back against the common rebuttal of “we’re nothing like those gross perverts Blanchard writes about” because it leaves room for the transphobes to move on to something else. it concedes too much! Imo people should be allowed to transition because they have a right to as a matter of bodily autonomy, not because they fit within some abstract standards of behavior.

I’ve noticed this cat>dog pattern a lot, wonder if it’s a generational shift or just me picking different social circles from a few years ago :|

iirc in the blanchard lore bisexuality is explained by “meta attraction” I.e. you’re just attracted to the idea of yourself being more feminine by being with a man.

hot take but I think being “agp” is not bad or pathological any more than being trans is. Cis women get to enjoy feeling/being perceived as hot without it being a mental illness, why shouldn’t trans women

yes, someone should make a list of modern roguelikes without meta progression

I dislike how nowadays slay the spire and its ilk is what people assume for the term deck builder instead of multiplayer (usually offline) games like ascension or puzzle strike or dominion

several people I respect have recommended “everything was forever until it was no more” by Alexey yurchak.

I wouldn’t mind if we had ru or ukr language communities on here either.
