Swords-Or-Something

Anyway, related to that, let this be a reminder that opressor classes don't need protection. You don't need to fight back against "androcide" or "white genocide" or more broadly against any opressed people being pissed about their opression, because those things are not going to happen. You do not need to treat them as real threat, and in doing so you align yourself with the opressors. I don't think i have to tell you that to believe that male genocide is a credible threat is pretty clearly misogynystic.

I genuinely do not understand the vitriol people — even other enben — have for the terms trixic, toric, etc. Nobody is saying “you have to use these words because you are nonbinary and you can’t describe yourself any other way”. There is simply a good chunk of us who feel like terms such as “lesbian” and “gay” are too binarizing for us. It’s not going to kill you to learn the terms that enben are using to describe their relationships. It really just reads as incredibly exorsexist. How can you say you support nonbinary people while insisting they don’t make more inclusive terms for themselves when they feel it’s necessary? Have you ever considered that we might want to create our own space instead of having to carve ourselves one inside of binary labels?

Depending on the type of bronze, they can actually be quite hard and strong. For example, C63020 Nickel-Aluminum bronze can reach around 90 HRB, which is softer than most steels but is still very hard compared to silver and gold. FWIW it's also got a max tensile strength around 1500 MPa which is ridiculously high

Black people who have any form of hair at all deserve 1 million dollars.

How did they find the worst audio ever made

Yknow, I watched this without sound. And I saw "I hate you" as a reply, and assumed something awful happened at the end of the video. And then I scrolled down a bit further, and went back up, listened to the audio and I gotta say. I agree with found-sheep.

Watching this without volume and then turning it on is like a sucker punch

This post always disappears for just long enough to make me forget what the audio is and then returns to punch me again

Like i know the effects of long covid are well documented but this is like saying black mold is the reason jk rowling is a transmisogynist. There Are Multiple Interlocking Factors.

I do think we're in the midst of a media literacy crisis but I attribute that more to the explosion of digital media, a broad devaluing of the arts, enshittification, the creep of capitalism on our work-life balance, and the rise of pseudo intellectual tastemakers and influencers. And yes, the covid lockdown certainly allowed these elements to proliferate and evolve at a higher rate, but all this was going on even before 2020. Covid did not magically make us all stupid and reactionary, we were heading this way already.

some good news is that someone keeps ddosing kiwifarms for the past few weeks and their provider is so small that it doesn’t have enough skill/resources to stop it from happening

This is my favorite comic
