  • Agreed. 1/10 of the posts were from friends for me, and half of those friends posts were from one chronic Facebook acquaintance that I should unfriend.

    I went through and unfriended a couple of hundred people that I need not be friends with on the platform anymore recently, and I've got to say I was impressed with how little my real friends actually post to Facebook. It wasn't uncommon to see someone's last post to be well before 2020 on there, over half a decade ago.

    It leads me to believe that the concept of pushing out a comment to the Facebook news feed died a long time ago for the average millennial. People still probably comment in groups, but have set up privacy filters that prevent them from being shown publicly. Stories get used more, but it's maybe 5-10 people posting the lions share of them.

  • Is music piracy is still a major thing these days? I've not even considered it for years, because every music streaming platform has all the music, it seems.

    Movie and TV show piracy must be so much more rampant because of the fragmentation creating inconvenience to consumers.

  • I recognize that you consider them a group of people. But I am trying to understand your position. It sounds like you want the law to be blind to trans people/men/women, because any laws pertaining to a singular gender would be discriminatory.

    Surely you can't be speaking for all countries, though, when you say that it's up to the judge? I would have thought that some countries would handle these things as a matter of law. In that case, wouldn't it make sense to have a law for transgender people that's different for men and women and trans people,?

    In Australia, for example, it seems that trans women go to men's prison; resulting in negative outcomes for the inmate. Perhaps a law in Australia would prevent that from happening?

  • Are you saying the law shouldn't recognise trans people as a group? They should be just men or women (of their identification) in the eyes of the law?

    Lets say a trans person breaks the law and goes to prison. Should a trans man go to a man's prison (where they will face statistically higher rates of abuse), or should the law provide some nuance in this situation?

  • I'm not personally a lawyer. Also, I'm Australian and our discrimination laws don't allow the laws to discriminate on the basis of protected qualities like sex, religion, age, sexual identity/orientation and intersex status.

    Maybe some laws (I.e. protective laws) should apply more specifically to trans people though, I'm not sure what sort of awkward legal situations can arise by every law applying equally to every person.

  • How about the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, which provides additional protections and services for women who are in domestic violence situations. Things like access to free rape exams, legal representation etc.

  • Makes sense. I think it's possible to hold this belief and still be pro-trans rights. There's literally not a limit on the number of laws we can have, seems silly to change what a legal woman is rather than include transgender women people as an additional group that these laws can apply to.

  • The unpopular part is that I disagree with the discussion which is microscopically focussed on raging at game publishers, citing corporate greedy as the only reason game prices are so high.

    $80 should be an affordable amount of money to spend for someone on an average wage for a game (not unpopular).

  • I mean, it would be great if the global population was lower, whilst also not creating aging population issues. Automation plus UBI seems a lot better than "everyone kill grandma". Big issue being that those that own the automation don't want to pay forUBI.
