damn she got evicted for not going to the same church?? that's such ass. down with landlords

tokyo jungle is like this, although not limited to playing as cats. cats are one of many animals you can play as

this is a really good take, but i wish they had spent more time positively declaring exactly how socialism addresses the arguments against it that it spends most of the article setting up

it's much more persuasive to say "socialism allows us to alleviate the responsibility of power falling on individuals and instead entrusts it to democratic will" or even "socialism broadly prevents harm by allowing everyone to have a voice on how economic power is used" feels a lot stronger than "capitalism allocates power to one person and that allows a lot of harm, which is why we need socialism"

i'm running psychonauts 2, really loving the level design and story and characters. it has really really good gay representation too!

i also do this, although it's less than i used to, since i've gotten dark-tinted glasses (think sunglasses that aren't as dark)

also, protip, they can tint your prescription glasses to make them tinted, if you're light sensitive, like i am

there have been times where i've fantasized about having a blind computer or programming set up. i've never tried, but maybe i should try with a screenreader for beehaw or something

huge Ws, excellent work

also, thanks for the Mastodon link, i wasn't sure where to check on beehaw status during the outage

i think you're asking a specific question very broadly. you're asking "how are cishet people generally viewed?" but you're really asking "what does LGBTQ places are not to be used by cishet people" mean

that's a pretty unhelpful rule of thumb. generally speaking, there are a few relevant categories of LGBTQ places. in real life, these are clubs and specific meeting groups, which, unless otherwise stated, are generally for use by people who identify as some flavor of queer and cishet people shouldn't take up space. but there are also things like, idk, queer night at a bar, that's probably still fine, just don't be surprised when queer shit's happening

there's also online LGBTQ spaces. ones like this one are fine for cishets to use. i mean, you're posting here now, right? but there are smaller spaces and generally the smaller the space, the less you should participate. but also, the smaller the space, the more niche, so i mean, you're probably better off posting in a space like this, anyways

it's honestly not that difficult to gauge for yourself. if you're not sure, observe the space without participating. look at the tone and assumed contexts of the posts. does it seem like it's queer people talking about queer shit or is it more of a mixed discussion space like this community? if it's a meatspace location, you should be able to easily tell by the body language of the people inside. if they're looking at you like, are you lost? what the fuck are you doing? then you have your answer

it would help to know more details about why you're asking. are you just worrying about an abstract situation because you feel the need to be prepared, or do you have a specific intention to go into a queer space and want to be sure you're not intruding?

in case you're like me and didn't know, PFAS refer to per- and polyflyoroalkyl substances, which seem to be correlated with negative health outcomes (re: developmental problems, cancer, fertility issues, etc) and are particularly tricky because they take a long time to break down.

they're highly hydrophobic substances used in e.g. teflon. their use has decreased as we've come to understand their harms more, but we're still dealing with the results of their high usage from the past. certain industries seem to still use it (stain repellants, polishes, paints, coatings)

i feel like you missed the point why you (rightfully) would have been downvoted for HL. even if you're personally not supporting the game, you're still giving it (presumably) positive publicity, which is supporting the game

now you have a post celebrating that you could do that here, and ngl it's left me with a sour taste in my mouth

but hey, i guess you're right, i have to sit here and explain it instead of dropping a downvote on you and moving on with my life

LOL and it's recent, great, there are two posts on my front page that remind me that a famous franchise owner wants my dead, thanks

i saw another commenter call us "cowbees", which i liked
