  Agreed

  You stop the regimen of drugs and the primary effect ceases en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_castration

  I’m not arguing for the policy, I think violating someones bodily authority is inherently evil and should not be on the table even as a result of a criminal conviction.

  But I think our objections should follow the science, we should object to the harm caused to the (falsely)convicted while on the drugs rather than the permencance of the sentence.

  The difference is that chemical castration is typically a course of drugs that alter the body’s hormone production while it’s being taken to reduce sexual desire/function, when the subject stops taking the drugs the body returns to its natural hormone balance.

  Physical mutilation is a one off, permenant, irreversible operation.

  The problem is that the term chemical castration is wildly misleading in its attempt to describe the process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anno 117: Pax Romana - Gameplay Showcase Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only series I would consider installing ubisofts launcher for.

  The trailer looks really good, it seems like they have made modifiers for island beauty localised rather than island wide which makes sense, now we can benefit from building sperate residential and industrial districts.

  Land based combat I think is also new, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, but the lack did always seem like a glaring omission in 1800.

  Hopefully they have done away with the influence system or at-least heavily modified it, it felt so bad in 1800 having to pick between ships, island defenses and buildings that allowed you to actually use all the cool items you found.

  As much as I dislike the fact that the “flagship” instance for lemmy is an echo chamber that bans for political wrong think, I still think Lemmy on average is a positive and it isn’t funded by ads or vcs so it should be proof against the most common avenues for enshittification.

  So I set up a recurring donation despite being someone that would 100% get banned by the people I’m donating to if I were to comment on their instance.

  Same way I can’t stand people using one negative within a larger political platform as an excuse to parrot anti-electoralism I feel like I shouldn’t use one unfortunate facet of the fediverse as an excuse not to donate towards its continued development.

  Support “better” rather than waiting for “perfect”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hamas files challenge to overturn UK terror designation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Israel’s war crimes do not excuse Hamas’ terrorist attacks, nor do Hamas’ terror attacks excuse Israel’s war crimes.

  Intentionally escalating the conflict and suppressing rival organisations then turning around and saying “we are the only counterbalance to Israel, you must deal with us” is also kinda gross.

  That said, it’s weird that they want the UK involved given the history of the conflict and the relatively paltry (and apparently declining?) level of arms exports.

  I think the EU also designated Hamas as a terrorist organisation and Germany is a big arms exporter so I would have expected them to focus on getting that designation repealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How it feels wandering into different bubbles sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.

  The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.

  Even if you don’t buy into this logic, you still have to do it in quite a few places because the security auditors have a line in their checklist about being able to extract any internal information from error pages

  Best of luck with the job search, linkedin is awful, but at-least the need for it passes.
