  • I mean Musk wasn't as loud about his bigotry at that point, not in the way he is now at least, and Mr Beast has been openly supportive of trans people. Being a bit of an idiot and being a raging bigot aren't the same thing, and that incident mostly convinced people that Elon was an idiot. It's entirely possible he's changed his mind about Musk in 3 years. I'm not a Mr Beast fan by any means, I don't watch his content or anything and tbh I found his reaction to the Jacksepticeye thing to be annoying which hasn't endeared him to me, so I don't have any skin in the game on his end of things, but there were a lot of people who didn't hate Elon after the cave diving thing who do hate him now so I wouldn't really treat that post as gospel personally. A lot of people don't want to admit it but Elon used to have way better PR than he does now, and a lot of people have changed their minds about him over time. So atm I don't see any reason to believe that Mr. Beast would revoke his support for trans people for Musk. His support of trans people is more recent as well. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd rather be optimistic about it until he gives me reason not to be.

  • One of the biggest rules of gun safety is treat every gun as if it's loaded even when as far as you know it isn't. Regardless of how you think the ratio of culpability falls or who should be held legally accountable, he is at least partially responsible because he was the person holding the gun and aiming it at someone.

  • Their job is already to gather carts from the corrals. Putting carts in the corrals allows employees to gather carts if they enjoy it without it being an extra inconvenience if they have a time limit. Also like 99% of employees would say they dislike people who leave carts everywhere, especially when they, you know, are a threat to cars if they roll into someone's vehicles, hence why cart corrals are a thing in the first place. I certainly don't want carts taking up parking spaces or rolling into my car if it gets windy.

  • You certainly talk about them like they're binary. You talk like someone who doesn't actually know anything about asexual people, and I say that as someone who is asexual myself. Imagine if someone tried to narrow down being gay or bi to a single chemical, it's ridiculous.

  • There are lots of asexuals who can orgasm just fine and feel amazing after just like anyone else, and who can be lonely. You know sex isn't the only form of social bonding right? Asexuals are perfectly capable of forming social relationships, including romantic ones since being asexual and aromantic aren't the same thing. This comment is so off base it's frankly a bit ridiculous, you clearly have no idea how asexuality works so maybe you shouldn't make sweeping assumptions about it.

  • They do come to that conclusion all the time, but in some cases it's impossible to know for sure. If they don't know for sure then they're not going to say it's definitely for decoration only, but they'll list it as an option, which they have done for this object.

  • Body image and psychological stuff still fall under societal influence rather than biological influence, and the hormones we produce are fundamentally a sex thing, not a gender thing.

    Something being a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't have a tangible influence on how people feel, it just means that it isn't based on intrinsic biological fact. What constitutes being a "man" or a "woman" differs between cultures and between people, it is often tied to biology because of societal expectations and association, but it doesn't actually come from biology. Something like pink being a girl's colour or women wearing makeup or men drinking beers instead of daquiris, those are all arbitrary performances people put on based on what society tells them men or women should do. Even the pronouns he/she were invented, some languages don't have gendered pronouns by default like English does. None of that comes from biology, biology doesn't tell us what pronouns we use or what we should wear.

  • Detroit: Become Human generally has big overarching choices that are more obviously good vs bad, or rather pacifist vs violent and deviant vs machine, but a lot of the smaller in-between choices can make a big difference regarding who lives and who dies, and a lot of them aren't obvious, especially in Kara's story line. One in particular that I remember can seem like an obvious "doing the right thing" choice but it actually is a choice that can get several characters killed as a result if you do what seems like the "good person" thing. Getting to the end with everyone still alive can be surprisingly difficult without a guide, and there are a lot of different endings and branching paths depending on a lot of different choices. One character has I think somewhere around 26 separate chances of dying in the story at different points in the game. There's an achievement for getting all of them lol.

    Heavy rain is similar to DBH but less obvious about having particular good or bad routes iirc. Like it doesn't do the "pacifist vs violent" or "deviant vs machine" style choices, but there are a lot of different choices that can affect the ending and who survives to the end.

    Dragon Age Origins is an oldie but a goody with a ton of endings and decisions that aren't strictly good or bad. The following DA games are good too but the first one fits what you're looking for the most.

    Those are ones I can think of off the top of my head.
