  • Yeah it's wild. The only thing he's good at is appearing reasonable and liberal. He's let the city down repeatedly.

    • International Chess Federation (FIDE) to ban and punish transgender players

  • Do you think that activities that are dominated by a certain gender are that way "naturally", or would you maybe agree that societal factors and sexism play a role too? The idea of "just leave things alone and let people do what they want" often ignores the subtle way that men and women are encouraged towards or discouraged away from those activities.

    • New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises

  • Many of the free COVID tests are all expired now. They issued an extension but finding an at-home test has been really difficult. I went to 3 different pharmacies/grocery stores before I was able to find a test.

  • Right, but then I have a separate set of saved posts and comments on every account. I'd have to try and remember which account I saved something under. It's a minor pain, but a pain nonetheless.

    • Too many cooks

  • I've seen it like 10 times, and it's still great. You can see the killer guy earlier every time, and there are so many good little details.

  • While there are horror elements, it's largely just surreal. It's an incredible video and worth watching, don't be scared!

  • I mean, even with RES, I'd argue that Reddit is also kinda ugly

    • Google when they release the free tier rooms for their low level employees.

  • Black Mirror is just so unrelentingly cynical about human nature. I watched the one with the lady whose memory is removed and "normal" people delight in following her and recording her, and it's all a big production to punish this women for doing a pretty fucked up thing.

    Every episode seems to just say "aren't human beings the worst?" The sci fi is interesting sometimes, but I can't really go through life believing that humans would behave like they do in that show.

    • Women in China are telling each other to bring their boyfriends to see 'Barbie' — and to use it as a litmus test for their thoughts on feminism and patriarchy

  • Just bringing it up at all? I get that some people take astrology too far, and some use it to excuse toxic behavior and avoid fixing bad personality traits. However, some people just think it's a fun way to reflect on themselves. It's very possible to have a casual interest in astrology that doesn't mean that you really believe in all the nonsense behind it.

    It's like palm reading or tarot cards... It's just a fun whimsical activity.

    If the mere mention of astrology is gonna be a deal breaker, you might want to consider lightening up a bit.
