It's the name. PP and abortions are tied together in the minds of conservative voters, whether or not that particular branch provides abortion services. Texas legislature wants to burn down PP at all costs.

But then, Texas did something no other state had tried yet: It walked away from about $30 million in annual federal funds rather than allow Planned Parenthood to continue to provide contraception to low-income women. In 2013, Texas launched its own women’s health program, relying entirely on state dollars.

Texas’ reproductive health care landscape never recovered from this tornado, even when the state tried to make up the lost funding in future sessions.

Maybe AAA games just don't need to be as large or sprawling. Release one full campaign with everything you need included in the price. Then if it does well offer dlc.

As the article points out, balder's gate was early access for 3 years, sold at full price, and still has bugs. It's not an exception to the rule, larian just delivered a good product that had good source material behind it.

Usually about 20min? I set a sleep timer on podcasts for 30 min and i usually don't hear it stop.

When i can't fall asleep quickly, it's maybe an hour? Eventually sleep happens.

For me, it's definitely option 2. I really like the way Dark Souls handles it, where the armor sets looks the same on both genders, and everyone can be as tart or as modest as they like.

Maybe there's a case to be made for a setting in BG3 that pixelates the naughty bits, but looking through youtube comments on BG3 romance scenes (for science!), most people seem to think the nudity is funny more than anything else. The few complaints about nudity really seem to be about the fact that they have to look at a dick/gay couple, which i don't have too much sympathy for.

Is my favorite season 🎃

Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it's not all het nudity?

Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there's an anti trans component to complaints as well.

Ugh misery porn tourism

People here have given you good pasta sauce recipes here, let me recommend ramen. I've found it at dollar stores and most grocery stores, it's shelf stable, and pretty versatile. Can add egg and/or almost any frozen produce you can find.

I'm watching this thread with great interest 👀

For the US, maybe Dolly Parton?

Instances can defederate whenever they want, but skimming the sidebar and announcements, it's weirder to me that lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad, which seems to be very similar to hexbear.

Anyone have any insight into the difference between lemmygrad and hexbear?

I don't think it needs to be overcome, just applied differently. A more global "us" vs problems like global warming or poverty would be fantastic.

It's also a self preservation instinct - sometimes there's just too much going on and you gotta narrow your focus to the people around you.

Just navidrome & the Synology suite (drive, photos, video)

I'm lazy 🫠

Pretty normal to reevaluate things from time to time. I went on a cleaning binge recently and let go of a lot of hobby stuff that I wasn't using any more. It's created more space for the hobbies i currently enjoy, and it's so much easier to keep my place organized and clean.

At the same time, there were things i don't use but kept anyways, either because there are good memories associated or i really want to pick up the hobby again in the future.

Though in all seriousness, isn't revenge porn illegal? I hope Hunter takes her to court.

🤣

I have a feeling that once they start getting into how exactly to implement ActivityPub, they're going to run into the existing issues, decide it's not worth the effort, and just quietly not do it.

Yeah the policy OP described just creates a culture where people lie about why they need time off 😆

It's not school - if someone agrees to cover the shift, just let em

It's never worked for me no matter what I try. Lemmy seems to be built only to follow communities, not users. 🥲

To me, "This community does not affirm practiced LGBTQ+ lifestyles" isn't hate speech, but is anti-lgbtq, which is a thing the admins of lemmy.world are right to take action on if they're trying to cultivate an instance that is friendly to lgbtq folks.

I think that's why even though the community had additional rules in the sidebar about not condoning violence against lgbtq, and athiestmemes has content Christians find offensive, the admins deleted the community. It's clearly still a contested subject within the thread, but at the end of the day lemmy's general response to people that don't like the rules of their instance is to find another instance.

Something else to note is that there are multiple levels of shunning in fediverse. The admin in the thread deleted the community, but would still federate with a server that hosted it.

Just so everyone has the right image in their heads, the condition of that shed looks...rough 💀
