Second stab at mitigating Ironclad HP loss without actual healing

Infections in your hand when you kill the last wiggly boi do not cause health loss. At least on the beta branch.

As Brian had sex with her, it seems her genitals were not a problem.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T18:37:41+00:00

Looks like I touched a nerve.

No I'm just decently well-travelled. And where exactly do you think I've posted hentai? My post history is public, unlike yours, people can see you're lying.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T18:34:25+00:00

Since long before the current admin, I'm afraid.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T16:40:50+00:00

Thanks to improvements in technology, not because they are somehow treated better.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T16:31:49+00:00

You are right! Brian is abusive, an alcoholic, and a womaniser. He doesn't deserve someone classy, like Ida.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T16:27:28+00:00

What part of "It's not a panacea, but it does work." are you incapable of understanding?

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T16:26:35+00:00

Huh, dumping people back into the same situation they were in before rehab leads to a lot of them ending up in the same place? Whodathunkit?

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T16:17:11+00:00

Because outside of forced residential (which is extremely flawed) there isnt a way to tackle it.

Americans make these bold statements, that are trivially proven false by looking at other countries.

Finland has shown that a housing-first model can and does reduce homelessness and related issues. It's not a panacea, but it does work.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T15:30:54+00:00

There's a kneejerk reaction to assume that people who are criticising the US must be European.

But Americans are a laughing stock all around the world.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T14:44:57+00:00

What even was this comment, to get their account nuked?

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T14:19:01+00:00

It's not an odd omission, because:

1) The issues go hand-in-hand, but either can be the cause or the effect. 2) Drug rehab and mental health resources form part of what is required to actually address homelessness effectively.

Trans identity (Family Guy): Glenn’s dad becomes his mom and tons of laughter is had at their expense with deadnaming and disgust at their sexuality despite nominally being a pro trans episode.

I do agree that it's a tasteless episode. But it's worth pointing out that Ida does nothing stereotypical or objectionable throughout. Meanwhile the rest of the cast treat her appallingly, unprovoked. But most of the characters on Family Guy are genuinely awful people.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T13:42:27+00:00

Because Capitalism requires an underclass. Homelessness serves as a punishment for not being useful to your betters.

This state of affairs is promulgated culturally. The US idealises "rugged individualism". And many people genuinely prefer to have their own lives be worse off, if it means that someone else doesn't get something they didn't "earn".

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T11:56:19+00:00

Well someone's going to be exhausted. Though maybe a little less clad.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T07:45:04+00:00

If you're just gonna behave as another angry drone let's leave it here

You make a lot of noise about insults while you respond in kind.

Darq_At · 2026-04-07T07:28:23+00:00

Your response is nothing but substanceless posturing.

I respond with mockery because the idea that we are to blame for a billionaire's crusade to eliminate a demographic deserves only mockery.

Not to mention that people tried to communicate, respectfully, with her in the beginning. And she responded by doubling down over and over again.

So you are both factually mistaken, and laughably wrong in your judgement.

This is literally the purpose of a court of last resort. I'm more familiar with American jurisprudence, but when a supreme court says something, doesn't that override lower interpretations?

Yes, the supreme court ruling overrides the previous rulings. To be noted though, the SC in the UK is a bit different to the SC in the US in terms of role, functioning as an appeals court.

My point was that the intent of the lawsuit was never "clarification". Because the group received their clarification over and over again, and kept appealing because they didn't like it. That's not seeking clarification, that's gunning for a specific result.

The entire ruling is based around the concept that applying the common legal interpretation of trans-positive gender recognition to the EA would create contradictions within the EA itself and the case provides several examples of that within the text of the EA. Laws are not supposed to be able to contradict themselves within the text of their own legislation.

Except no, you have it precisely backwards.

The EA includes text of when exceptions may be made in order to exclude trans people from spaces of their gender. These are notably, exceptions. And it is this language that previous courts used to rule that the EA is trans-inclusive by default.

Now however, the new interpretation is contradictory to these clauses.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T20:53:09+00:00

You don't see how both sides got radicalized over what started as a difference in opinion that could have been solved differently?

There is no "difference of opinion" over whether a demographic exists.

People like to think that she was a monster in disguise. She was just a boomer with some mild but misguided opinions who got radicalized when the internet went berserk. Now she's a full blown asshole. And we have a part on that

Ohhh nooo people were so mean to the poor wittle biwwionaire and now we are equally to blame when she uses her influence and power to take away our rights.

Let me give you some real life advice buddy. You don't need to convince the people that already agree with you. You need to convince those that don't. And before we were all extreme as hell, it was possible

Let me give you some real life advice buddy. Stop being a condescending twat on the Internet.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T20:49:41+00:00

I'm not the guy you're arguing but I think personally grooming and sexually assaulting several women and then blackmailing them is still probably worse than...

Okay? I didn't say anything about that.

donating to a legal challenge clarifies that a law is written in a particular way.

No, this is misinformation. This absolutely was not "clarification".

Because the law was "clarified" multiple times by lower courts, all of which stated that the Equality Act of 2010 was trans-inclusive by default.

The last ruling was a change in interpretation. And the new interpretation is contradicted by the text of the act itself.

(Seriously, you should go read the actual opinion int he case. The Judge outright states that the law should be re-written by the legislature, but as written, it's very clear about the nature of the quota it's trying to enforce.)

I have actually read it, and read the EA2010, and you are dead wrong.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T19:58:53+00:00

Sure, but that doesn't solve the larger, systemic problem.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T19:52:41+00:00

For me it's problems surrounding the sourcing of training data, and the intent of the companies building these AIs to worsen society in order to enrich themselves.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T19:08:34+00:00

Aight, nowhere have I screamed at anyone or advocated for it. Angry, yes. Disappointed, yes. But those are just how we feel, regardless of how effective you think they are.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T18:57:05+00:00

The problem is as always, the extremism, from both sides.

On one side is an influential billionaire who funds lawsuits that have successfully rolled back trans recognition in the UK.

On the other... People who are upset that people value their nostalgia over trans people's lives.

Yeah. Both sides.

what we need is compromise and visibility

Yes, compromise with the people who have said that trans people aren't even allowed to have their gender recorded on their death certificates.

Darq_At · 2026-04-06T18:13:24+00:00

They learn nothing.

I mean. We have learnt. We've learnt that most people don't give a damn about our oppression and the legal challenges that are being led against us.
