To preface: this is from a previous bout of hyper focus curiosity (i.e. I am not an expert). But the human genome is significantly more complex than “XX chromosome means biological female”. Other genomic markers can trigger that don’t align with the typical, which can result in male reproductive organs on a person with XX chromosome and vice versa. XX and XY are also not the only options. There are three, four, and even five somal groupings (e.g. XXY, XYY, XXX - note that to my understanding, you can’t have all Y chromosomes even in these outliers). If anyone has further information or any corrections for me, I’d welcome them - I’m going off of memory from a couple of years ago and it’s not directly relevant to me (i.e. I am cis-male with no known chromosomal abnormalities)

It really depends on the anime/show. My best example of this is Hellsing. The Japanese VA talent is fine, but the English, particularly for Alucard is so much better - he has a menacing quality that is perfect for the character. Plus, it’s set in England, so hearing English accents is more immersive.

On top of that, many people will see a Mennonite and think “Amish.”

Bopl Battle is a hilarious party game for up to 4 people. The rounds go really quick so it’s a great game to play with friends when you have a limited amount of time, but the fun doesn’t wear out fast either.

Dude I loved that game back in the day. So many great mods for it too

How do you feel about square drive? I’m no carpenter, just someone that’s done enough work around the house, but I’ve found that Torx are the best option but square is a close second (but I don’t think I’ve used them in any especially high torque situations, and they may fall short there).

That’s a penisea star
- Comment on Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset 9 months ago:
The thing with those is that, while it was a small amount of content, it wasn’t just a mission, each was about an hour of repeatable content that was fairly fun to farm. At $2, they actually still felt worth it with as much fun as B2 was. If they had asked for like $10 each, people would have flipped out.
I’m not a Starfield player, but I would bet this is not even close to as good of a value proposition. - Comment on Humanity making progress like it always does 10 months ago:
I try to help what little I can there by not raking (or if I do, I collect and move into our fenced in section so insects can still make use of them). It does also help my laziness that I have a legitimate reason to not rake.
Not sure if it helps or not since I do mow the leaves with the grass at the start of the summer. - Comment on Anon wants to ride a zeppelin 10 months ago:
You too! And this place could use a bit more chill for sure. People tend to forget the human on the other side of the conversation.
- Comment on Anon wants to ride a zeppelin 10 months ago:
Fair enough. I figured if I threw a random date out, there was like a 99.99% chance that somebody was shot on that day.

Oh I wasn’t trying to cuss you out, sorry if it came off that way. It’s early and I usually filter out my language a bit before posting but I commonly use curse words for emphasis and stuff. I blame it on being a (former) sailor. And thanks, I may have misread that - that’s what I get for commenting before I even had gotten out of bed.
- Comment on Anon wants to ride a zeppelin 10 months ago:
358 crashes in a year is close enough to an average of one per day that it’s pretty fucking pedantic to say "but not every day - especially given that most of the time that people say something happens “every day” it’s being used loosely, not literally.
“People get shot by cops every day” is a phrase that is effectively accurate, even if nobody happened to be shot on, say, February 21st. - Comment on The second matchup of the tournament 11 months ago:
I think you’re confused. The men’s lib community is a progressive, feminist-supporting space focused on giving men an opportunity to discuss matters of vulnerability and struggle. They try to help people struggling with mental issues hard times, and discuss how to counter toxic masculinity type shit.
I’m not involved in the Lemmy community but I used to check out the Reddit one back when I still got on there. The toxic neckbeard shit that’s up in arms about the overblown man v bear shit is the MRA (“men’s rights”) group. - Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 year ago:
Thanks for reminding me how much I fucking hate Hearst (the family and the corporation).
- Comment on launch him anyway 1 year ago:
Are you arguing that 1.12 billion m/s is NOT faster than the speed of light, or are you arguing that the speed required by the kick is not 1.12 billion m/s? Because if it’s the former, the speed of light in a vacuum is 300 million m/s (to 3 significant figures), or less than one third of that kick speed. If you’re arguing the latter, I don’t feel like checking all of the calculations this early in the morning.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 1 year ago:
There’s been a lot of great games this year, but BG3 just barely beats the competition for me. Alan Wake 2, TOTK, Hi-fi Rush, and Lethal Company have all been great experiences as well though.
- Comment on Today I finally picked up my phone from in-warranty repair (motherboard replacement), I found out the camera doesn't work. 1 year ago:
If it was a motherboard replacement, it’s entirely possible they missed connecting the cable for the camera entirely or just didn’t get it fully connected and is loose.
