Women experience a fair amount of harassment in the open league. They aren't forbidden from participating, but the environment discourages it, so they set up a women's league too.

If there wasn't widespread cognitive damage amongst a fair bunch of male players and organizers, they could implement a far more sensible solution: punishing harassment.

None of y'all are getting it. Trans women have an unfair advantage in chess because they can turn the king into another queen.

It becomes less stupid the moment you realize Elon is angry some people are allowed not to have his bullshit forced down their throats. Then everything starts to make sense.

The pandemic got exacerbated in the US because of Trump's dumbfuck negationist policies, but even countries with far tougher positions suffered pretty bad cases of COVID.

Wouldn't that provoke all air in the Earth to get sucked to the Moon due to the difference in atmospheric pressure?

Something that helps too is not being surrounded by people who will discriminate you for being who you are.

If you're having kids with the express intent that they care for you when you're old, you're already doing it wrong.

I'm going to go with the very opposite opinion. Don't fly with your kids, especially babies, but if you do, do it ONLY in business and first class. Working class people have enough shit without having to deal with your baby.

I've had to use canceling headphones for several hours a day for months due to asshole neighbours. Doing that provokes and exacerbates migraines. Using common sense and separating noise emitters from noise sufferers should always be the first step.

The solution, to my reckoning, is to start making things you love because you love to make them and to refuse to sell out when they come knocking.

I mean, sure, that will solve some things. Not climate change, though. I think we can aim for a little higher, but when I say that perhaps seeking infinite growth in a finite planet might lead to an environmental catastrophe that's somehow controversial.

Isn't it curious that Judas doesn't have a halo? He hadn't betrayed Jesus yet here, yet him not having a halo means he's already not pure, as if his capacity for betrayal was a predestined trait, rather than a choice.

My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn't mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.

Not as meritorious as you, who are working hard on publishing your dumbfuck comments for everyone else to suffer secondhand embarrassment.

My grandma got her left-handedness beaten out of her by the nuns. Paragons of virtue, the whole lot of them, right up there with Teresa.

Doesn't that turn the point of that panel null though? I thought that the point was that you get your hand dirty because, when writing from left to right with your left hand, you're more likely to stomp over what you've already written.

I think people generally agree that the drafts for the Vietnam war were not justified.

BATTLE-POPE, INITIATE COMBAT SEQUENCE.

If it's a crime, do not fire them, lock them up in pris-

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the actions "treason" and has initiated criminal proceedings.

Oh. Oh well.

It was probably framing it like

Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover.

Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.

If you want to share what you're making, dip your toes into the water. Some communities will appreciate the self-promotion as long as you do it in a sensible way, and other won't. Right now, some degree of self promotion is great because it's new content, which the Fediverse needs.
