Is there something wrong with providing donation links so people can support me if they like what they see?
Yes, it is spamming when you post then to settings that are not intended to be used for soliciting donations.

- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 day ago:
Our payment network follows standards based on the rule of law. Put simply, we allow all lawful purchases on our network. At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content.
This sounds like trying to have their cake and eat it too. Steam wouldn’t have delisted that many games without a significant threat of retaliation from the payment processors for possibly publishing something that broke whatever criteria they count as an unlawful purchase.
One case I can think of is the ease of using a VPN to purchase content that is illegal where the person resides but legal elsewhere. Stopping purchases through VPNs would be one thing that valve has no realistic way to address, but if the payment processor insisted that they must avoid that kind of unlawful purchase or cut off all payments then I could see the end result of just removing all of the content.
Not saying it is that exact thing, just an example of something unrealistic that can still be described as a card being used for ‘unlawful purchases’.

Same issue for me at lemmy.world in a web browser, thumbnail shows but broken image when I try to expand it. I get the same thing when I go to the poster’s profile and view any of their posts.

Yes, but there wouldn’t be a reason to say living son unless there was a deceased sibling. The wording implies one or more deaths.

Saying that white men oppress people is racist?
Holy shit, that’s comedy gold!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
My only qualm is that you added white to a sentence about gender oppression.
Goddess you know what I meant to write, guess asking me to explain was a waste of time!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
Women need safe spaces because men historically oppressed them, and that is true all around the world, in almost all communities.
You decided to add white to a sentence that didn’t need it.
Are you implying that minorities aren’t oppressed and don’t need safe spaces? Because it seems like your questions are focused entirely on why I included both women and minorities in the same sentence, which I assert is true in the vast majority of the world where English (the language we are speaking) is the primary language for the country. Heck, it is also true for most European countries where English isn’t the primary language.
Women need safe spaces because men historically oppressed them, and that is true all around the world, in almost all communities.
If you want any statement to be true for literally the entire world, then your expectations are unreasonable.

The whole critique is based on a malicious reading leading to inferring meaning that isn’t there instead of taking the words literally.

Thinking maliciously
Maybe stop doing that.

I can relate to this pattern of thinking due to a lifetime of avoiding deer and other wildlife. Garbage men travel in small groups to collect garbage bins, not solitary predators, so expecting more to follow makes sense.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
What a horribly stupid question to ask.
Women and minority only spaces exist because white men as a group have historically discriminated against them, including by having men only and even whites only spaces. That kind of history never goes away really, because bigotry is frequently handed down from generation to generation even if some people are able to break the trend.

- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 3 days ago:
You are both technically correct and also describing a system where the average person can make a request and get the results of a study to find out whether a crosswalk can exist where people are already crossing the street. Many of thses kinds of requests are ‘lost’ or actively ignored because the city doesn’t have the budget to even look into the feasibility. That also results in statements about never receiving requests because people don’t know how to get them to the right place to count as a request.
In my experience cities aren’t liable for very much at all. Sure aren’t liable for potholes destroying tires, why would they be liable for crosswalk injuries?
