  • It's still available on key resellers for cheap (including all DLCs) or HumbleBundle if your prefer an official key reseller (that asks for the full price though).

    I grabbed it earlier today because it too was on my wishlist.

    Edit: Just realized almost this exact sentence was at the top of the article. Whoops

  • I'm a cis man and closer to 140 lbs (with average height). And though I don't regularly go out for night walks, when I do I don't feel particularly unsafe. A little more cautious perhaps, especially around groups of drunk people but that's about it.

    If I were forced to fight the average person I meet at night I would literally have to resort to using my damn teeth or expect to be beaten up to a pulp at the very least.

    Still, the risk of me ending up in such a situation is tiny. I'm far more likely to be run over by a car - which actually almost happened a couple weeks back had I not paid attention.

    Honestly, I think large parts of women's fear at night in the US is culture dependent. You don't have walkable streets over there so children don't have the opportunity to walk to kindergarten or school. Over here in winter children are literally walking to school at night, before sunrise.

    You do have a shitton of neverending fear mongering. Like, the concept of "Amber Alerts" is absurd over here in Europe, I can't imagine what this would've done to me as a child if I had been told on a daily basis that strangers are out to get me.

    Tl;dr it's probably culture dependent

  • That order has a long-term effect though. In a few months it will probably be significantly worse than it would've been without that order but no decision made in the last couple of weeks could affect egg prices today.

  • By the way, this is why in Germany the federal government is extremely limited in regulating education. It cannot even provide educational funds except for extremely limited circumstances to avoid infuencing the states.

    This was a lesson learned from the nazis who consolidated their power through Gleichschaltung - which included unifying education under the federal nazi government.

    Even if the nazis ever achieve a supermajority, they cannot legally ammend the constitution to abolish federalism.

  • I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

    This isn't that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior "reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland."

    Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

    So the reason for the ban was that hyprland's developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

    I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I've rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with "I hope we can resolve this constructively" and "I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me".

  • Hyprland has a right-wing reactionary community surrounding it. For instance, on their Discord a trans person had their username's pronouns changed to (who/cares) by a moderator after being upset that they were misgendered.

  • Wikipedia is the least unreliable, accessible source of information by a long shot.

    I don't even know a single contender that maintains similar scope, accuracy and accessibility.

  • All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    It would not be against this text alone to create a 2-tier citizenship depending on whether you are born to US citizens. Since the US federal government is not a state, they can deprive the "not born to US citizens"-tier of their privileges, immunities etc.

  • The electoral college has bias towards states with lower populations but it's not gerrymandering.

    Gerrymandering is specifically drawing district borders to guarantee victory with a minority of votes.

    The US presidential election would be gerrymandered if some states decided to go through mitosis to get more electoral votes for their party.

  • Many eligble voters don't vote

    People who don't vote either cannot vote due to discrimination or don't vote because they are neutral towards the winner:

    Overall, 10% of Americans are what we call Bystanders, or the politically disengaged, according to Pew Research Center’s Political Typology report. None of this cohort say they’re registered to vote, and none say they follow government and public affairs most of the time.

    If you don't care about politics, you are not opposed to Trump.
