Lemme clarify - do you mean just this (this is a normal window to me, common like sand).

Just get a detachable screen? We had them at my family home?

Why is a normal window there? Or does it do something special?

Are you making a point that slaves in USA are treated better than slaves in Saudi Arabia?

800.000 legal slaves in the USA make more than $11 000 000 000 (11 billion) of goods and services annually.

USians have slaves, I don’t see anyone screaming about boosting an oppressive regime?

Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:
Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.
Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.
Boring, unchallenging fights.

Are we reading the same post? I don’t see wounded victim, I see OP saying no (for any reason), then see a hypocrite throwing a tantrum, and the OP being hurt by the hypocrisy and the tantrum?
And you calling him an incel for that? Was he supposed to bend over and suddenly get interested because that’s what she wants?
In your head how OP should behave here to not be an “incel”?

Maybe it’s because they are procedurally generated from like a template of 10.

Interesting fact: in… 2010-ish a Vatican historian priest released a book where he explained that Jesus was a jokester. A lot of his sermons in the Bible were haha funny for the people at the time.

This is French journal about fear in women and how it affects their mobility. Whenever someone says
the risk of a fragile, shallow, unhinged, emotionally unstable man going berserk and MURDERING her.
it pops in my mind. The data they gathered suggests that women fear of violence is unrelated to actual rates of said violence happening, but is correlated to past smaller transgressions (“anticipated violence”). Long story short, if you were ever catcalled, or given a [clumsy] compliment, you’re likely to imagine (“anticipate”) out-of-proportion violence in multiple contexts.
The actual crime rate and crime gender proportion (in the US) - counciloncj.org/womens-justice-by-the-numbers/ - violence victims rate is 60-70% down since 1984 and since 2009 men and women are as likely to be the victim [before that men were most likely]; and the number of women perpetrators grown up. Oh, and the homicide rate by spouse is also closing the gap (although some studies suggest that the increase in women killing their husbands should be attributed to them not being dismissed as potential perpetrators by the police force)
I’m not dismissing your feelings OP, and your strategy seems very prudent, but I want to add to this discussion that it’s much much safer than you or the social media will try to paint, despite the fear you feel.
And that you’re not more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than a man (counciloncj.org/womens-justice-by-the-numbers/).

Wild cats sometimes form colonies. Those structures do have matriarchs. There is dominance in the groups.

Yeah… No
I’m not sure what you disagree with? Me blocking the thread to not see it on my page as per what previous commenter suggest? Or that I should’ve participated without reading the rules like you did?
I’m also not sure why are you calling people whiny dweebs or whom.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Just block the community or ask to be banned
Yup, that’s what I did. It leaves… bad taste in my mouth when it goes to my main page, the topic is interesting, I go to read it, and then I see someone silencing the participants with a very smug “You’re not a woman, so please kindly fuck off from here, flowers and smiles”.

- Comment on Makes sense to me 2 months ago:
imagine they controlled
I’ve read the study. They didn’t. N=183, all anonymous. In the study they played Halo 3, recorded voice over and measured the reactions (if any), and then correlated the few reactions they got with skill level.
Nothing is know about participants. The gamers gender was determined based on institute of my ass, out of 183 games there were no responses in almost half, and in the Introduction they admit what they’ll manipulate their result to prove.
Oh, and the data collected contains also female negative responses, they were removed from further processing because women good men bad.
Interestingly the female-negative raw data (examples picked by study authors in appendix 2)
“Yeah, stop stealing my kills, you little piece of shit.”
“Shut up, you removed. She’s a removed though.”
“Should’ve made me a sandwich, removed.
Vs male-negative:
“Freaking removed.”
“I liked your lag trick, jackass.”
“You suck dick.”
Could be my bias, but male-negative from data set sounds significantly less sexists than female-negative. Female negative more often is aggression related to gender, male negative is less personal.

3.3 slaves per thousand people vs 4.0 per thousand seems very similar to me.

If you’re USian - you have vastly more domestic slaves (I think you call them prisoners in for-profit prisons) than Uyghur population. Maybe you should do something about it.
If you’re not USian, no rebuttal.

One of those things is not like the others.
Also you’re missing Elona, game where your wizard can dual wield rifles while riding on an abomination with the head of your pet cat, body of a tyrannosaurs rex and 8 claymore wielding human arms taken from your gene slaves. Or get rich while playing a piano and finish the game by using that sweet sweet moneh hiring adventures and sending them to die exploring the BBEG lair.
