I feel like Change My View is useful for topics in which reasonable minds might differ in opinion.
Fundamental human rights are not one of those topics.

- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 4 days ago:
But both models say they have Bluetooth, wired, and 2.4Ghz connectivity. They both include a USB-C 2.4Ghz dongle, and both explicitly call out Bluetooth as a way to connect to certain devices, so must both have transmitters for that, too. The “Wireless” version calls its wireless protocol “8Speed” and lists its low latency as a feature, but the “Bluetooth” product page doesn’t say anything that would imply its non-bluetooth wireless is different. It merely doesn’t discuss it.
The only real hardware differences I’ve been able to discern so far are that:
- the “Ultimate 2 Wireless” version shows colored labels on the ABXY buttons, while on the “Ultimate 2 Bluetooth” version the labels appear to be white.
- the “Ultimate 2 Wireless” comes in black, white, and purple while the “Bluetooth” version only comes in black and white.
- the “Ultimate 2C Wireless” comes in mint, peach, green, and purple while the “2C Wireless” version comes in blue, pink, and dark blue.

Help, I can’t tell the difference between the different varieties. Between the “Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller” and the “Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller,” which one do I want for gaming on Linux (both Steam on my desktop and RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi)?
(Damn it, 8bitdo, would it kill you to put a fucking comparison matrix on your website‽)
- Comment on A completely useful compulsion I have. 4 days ago:
For regular commodity eggs, the cost per egg is exactly the same between 12 and 18 packs (at least at my grocery store). However, with eggs being so expensive, I’ve started treating them as a luxury good, and so I took a look and noticed that the prices of the fancy eggs haven’t increased nearly as much (on a percentage basis) as the basic commodity eggs. I’ve also noticed that with the fancy eggs, you actually do get a small volume discount for buying 18 instead of 12. Therefore, the skyrocketing egg prices have actually caused me to buy fancier eggs and more of them at a time, LOL!
Before:
- 12 normal eggs: $1
- 18 normal eggs: $1.50
- 12 fancy eggs: $4+ ( 4x “normal” too much of a price premium)
Now:
- 12 normal eggs: $5
- 18 normal eggs: $7.50
- 18 fancy eggs: $10 (1.33x “normal,” a small enough premium to say “might as well get the better quality”)

- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 6 days ago:
Ultimately, my biggest worry is that Trump’s absolute piss-poor understanding and implementation of tariffs has very likely ‘poisoned the well’ to the point that they could probably never be successfully implemented in our lifetime by an actual competent Government
Well, it’s not as if they had much chance of happening anyway, given the neoliberal status quo for decades before that, so… 🤷

Sure, but that reasonable and nuanced idea has nothing to do with what Trump’s position on tariffs has always been. He’s just a dipshit that doesn’t understand the difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics, or that the entire economy of of a country that controls its own currency (and especially one that controls the world’s reserve currency) doesn’t work the same way as an individual household or business.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 6 days ago:
Tariffs have been the one major actual policy position rattling around in Trump’s empty skull since at least 1988. He fucking loves the idea of tariffs, for some reason.

- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
For example: In work and social life, I’ll give my phone number away to people I meet. But I’m not interested in relationships, so I’m far less likely to give it to women, since I don’t want to give anyone the impression I’m making romantic advances by doing that.
As someone who is relatively active in volunteering/local politics, I’ve been thinking about printing up some old-fashioned “calling cards” (like business cards, but not for a business). Maybe seeing that giving out your contact info was such a routine habit of yours that you had a ready-made solution for it would stop women from getting the impression that you were leading them on?
…then again, maybe not. Hmm.

But is it because of being trans in general, or because of the direction of transition?
- Comment on We call people who want to regress conservative and not reactionary 1 week ago:
You know what grinds my gears? People who believe in the false meaning of “conservative” that conservatives pushed as propaganda to try to whitewash their abhorrent worldview, then get mad when people start using the term correctly.
“Conservatism” has always been reactionary. You’ve been duped.

Morrowind has plenty of fast travel. In fact, it has better fast-travel than later Elder Scrolls games because it’s actually integrated into the gameplay.
