  I don’t know, I’ve seen grown ups pissing in the park in Shanghai, not somewhere deep in the bushes but right beside the pavement and buildings. That was not indoors, at least

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t render in the font I’m using, seems to be too far into extended unicode, but that’s still cool, thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which ones?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess whether this is true or not will be a defining point of the whole lawsuit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games are region-locked because the localisation is done by building another binary, Fallouts were like that, and some other I can’t remember, maybe it was this

  I too am afraid to change region because Valve is very opaque in how they change availability, and there definitely were precedents of games not just being delisted but still available if you have them, but also disappearing completely from you library

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect that no cap on storefront share of the price will be set as a result of this lawsuit or any other.

  I also expect that even if Steam reduce their cut to 3%, prices will not get lower, and bankruptcies and lay-offs will go on as usual

  Maybe I’m just pessimistic, don’t know

  I thought you were going to link this: m.youtube.com/watch?v=VWCvjPOove0 (Wild boars blocked tram traffic in Olsztyn, north eastern Poland)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine looking at the first picture and thinking thats something to be proud of , lol, its mental illness⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s probably ‘meta-joke’ or something. It’s shitpost, after all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine looking at the first picture and thinking thats something to be proud of , lol, its mental illness⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a wild take

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for sharing, that was interesting to learn, also yeah they really missed a chance to make a separate 男也 character

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tangentially related, but I find it weird how in Chinese written pronouns include gender, but since they sound the same the information is lost in speech

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You should also ask them how they feel when their body cools down ‘a bit’ to 32°C

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schlip schlop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought this but opposite of Avatar, good writing/acting and low budget

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yeah, there was, that’s not how most of the time went, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know, we need a medievalist here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:

  Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What it feels like shopping in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s painful to watch, ngl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's right there 😖⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Narrator: they absolutely did notice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Can’t Sell You Laptops Anymore (video) (enshittification of computer repair)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $40 is now too much for an old but working laptop? That’s crazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨humour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it is an image. Technically

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What did they make?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He took it literally⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems that you can’t invoke your rights pre-Miranda and before arrest, as seen in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinas_v._Texas

  I don’t know how that works specifically, but I expect nobody will allow you more your rights whenever they can

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans are part of the ecosystem.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the real answer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨vindication⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, this perspective didn’t occur to me, it makes everything so much worse 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody stops you from trying it you can afford it, I hope you can it’s pretty sad otherwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about wheat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think modern can be used in the sense of being not adjusted to harsher conditions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I now see better, but I still don’t understand how are we supposed to determine the sex in edge cases where it’s failing to produce both equally and has both, you mentioned the condition yourself, even though you say that it’s not failing equally that’s a possibility still. I mean, if we can’t determine sex at all maybe the definition is too abstract?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Organised around producing here means ‘should produce even if it never did’? You linked a list of disorders yourself, some of them do not allow a body to produce any form of gamete in severe cases
