I agree, losing it would feel like losing the library of Alexandria. We do need more doing this!

Me too! My husband teases me about it. I take it and get sleepy. Zzzz

Well, I think the self driving taxis across the us apparently need human interaction every 6 minutes on average… So are they self driving? I don’t know.

We can’t use our phones and drive, but someone can have a screen and drive 6 cars at the same time…

I have traveled to very conservative countries and have never found the sort of puritanical hand wringing that comes from a certain subset of Americans.

I say this as an American expat who has lived everywhere from Hawaii to the bible belt, to New York.

Can you imagine the pain and anxiety you would cause a biological woman who does not look feminine enough for your line of reasoning here?

You see her in the restroom and act like she doesn’t belong there - maybe you say something, maybe you keep your “discomfort in your vulnerable place” to yourself, but your stupid ideas about what a woman is and how one should look in order to be accepted into a bathroom are hurtful.

I was in an art class last month with a lovely young woman who has pcos. She is a Sikh woman, and therefore does not remove her facial hair.

She had a beard that would put a young man to shame, and now it occurs to me that had she been unfortunate enough to be born in America, she would have had to choose between honouring the basic tenets of her religion, or conforming so she is not shunned - or worse, assaulted for using the womens room.

Wow, I left the US ten years ago, I had no idea it had got this bad. You need a VPN to browse porn? :(

If a person presenting as a man enters the womens bathroom and goes to the bathroom and washes their hands and leaves… I would say nothing. Why the fuck do you care?

Hell, I have seen grown men enter the women’s room with their daughters, maybe around 6-7 years old. Old enough that they want to use the big girl toilet, young enough that they need supervision.

You know what happened? Nothing. Nothing happened, because 99% of people don’t actually care if you’re not being a creep.

Aww, you’re adorable. I will buy the games closer to Christmas for everyone, my reading tells me that if I buy the game and the person does not accept the gift then they will give me a refund, so I imagine you won’t get the money until everyone accepts.

This is super cute! If I buy these now for my friends and family but set it to deliver the gift near Christmas, would you get the money now? Or not til Christmas?

This looks perfect for when everyone is over on Christmas eve! <3

But please don’t spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren’t that good I don’t want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).

You’re not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!

I believe in you!

I don’t use a controller, but I bought two copies for friends that do! Keep going, make more games, add features! (Like maybe keyboard controls for us dinosaurs.)

I believe in you!

Whats the game? :)

Whats the game? :)

Yup. When we went to buy a TV I knew this was happening because the smart TVs with wifi and extra hardware and software were cheaper than the dumb TVs. Nothing is free, I knew they had to be doing this shit.

This shit is getting old. I was in the Novavax trial here in Australia and one of the things the clinicians said that stuck with me is that they were “surprised that there wasn’t much interest”.

See, Novavax is a traditional vaccine, not an MRNA vaccine. It is (and has been) approved everywhere.

They expected that all the antivaxxers who were afraid of “changes to their DNA” would come in for this traditional vaccine.

Except they didn’t. Because it isn’t about MRNA, it’s about being part of a group, part of people who “understand you” and echo and validate the fears you have about living in this world.

This is killing people.

Found it, apparently the project has been pushed back to next year.

Didn’t they start dumping a basic solution into the ocean off the East coast? Completely bonkers.

That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.
