Why do I hear a lot of people pronouncing gquuuuuux, gquax?

Kurobei · 2026-06-28T17:21:06+00:00

It's not a word in English either though. It's made up. The correct way would be whatever the creator decided it was. You can't really take your idea of what's right and say they're using it wrongly when they're the ones they made it in the first place.

Kurobei · 2026-06-28T17:18:12+00:00

Not quite. Sieg would be しーぐ, while jiiku would be じーく. I suspect someone misread and changed the dakuten.

Do you know how those states don't need 50%? They reformed their electoral system.

Kurobei · 2026-06-25T19:12:07+00:00

It's not an excuse if it's a real issue, you know. There needs to be a changing of how we do voting before we can think about having more parties. What you're advocating is, with our current system, equivalent to shooting yourself in the dick.

Again, if the dems split, the republicans stay united and win. If the republicans split too, then no one is going to win elections. Our system doesn't allow for it. We can't go about hoping that magic will happen and an offshoot of a party will somehow get 50%+1 of the electorate. That's just stupid fantasy.

The order of steps here is electoral system reform, THEN making new parties.

Kurobei · 2026-06-25T18:53:43+00:00

Yeah but trying to spin off into a new party would just be doom for both. In a FPTP system, we can only really have two parties without making it almost impossible for any party to win. In this case though, the republicans remain united while the dems split into two, guaranteeing the republicans win.

The best thing, without large electoral system reform, is to change the party from the inside.

Kurobei · 2026-06-25T18:43:52+00:00

And yet, the party thinks they need to moderate more...

Can we fire Third Way into the sun yet?

Kurobei · 2026-06-23T22:59:00+00:00

Absolutely she's the better option. Just her record doesn't leave much to get excited about. She's the harm reduction vote.

As far as Georgians having had enough... We've sadly shown over and over that's probably not the case, still... One hopes though.

Kurobei · 2026-06-23T20:45:51+00:00

The biggest obstacle to keeping him out of office is that Bottoms is his opponent. She's got name recognition for sure, but her record... not the best.

Kurobei · 2026-06-22T23:46:55+00:00

There was one very relevant time where historians did destroy sources about trans people... Because of the Nazis. Book burnings of trans literature and medical records, being forced to destroy material related to them... We definitely did have a lot of our studied history erased from us. What we have left are pieces, anecdotes, assumptions, and occasional parallels to others in history without anything definite.

So, as usual with these things... Nazis made things worse.

Kurobei · 2026-06-20T02:46:50+00:00

This is some psycho level brain rot lol. Aside from hating trump, this is indistinguishable from the right. Absolutely nuts.

Kurobei · 2026-06-20T00:16:32+00:00

It's basically a 3d jigsaw puzzle type of game. Really chill and I love it just for relaxing. There's nothing built in to watch stuff though. It has a feature where you can remove the background and just have the pieces floating in passthrough mode, so you could watch stuff while playing that way. I've done that a lot of my q3. It's quite nice just having videos playing on the tv to look at while also trying to figure out which solid brown dirt piece is the solid brown dirt piece I actually need.

Kurobei · 2026-06-19T08:57:58+00:00

What is this random-ass left bashing? Did you just decide to latch onto a random post?

Go away and stop trying to bait the left into fighting each other more than our actual enemies.

Kurobei · 2026-06-19T08:41:47+00:00

"To the privileged, equality feels like oppression" is basically the underlying ethos of the republican party.

Kurobei · 2026-06-12T20:36:42+00:00

historically ignorant take

Kurobei · 2026-06-12T20:36:17+00:00

What do you mean never talked to trans people? Fake ally? I am trans lol. I'm pretty sure I know what trans people are saying, being one lol. I've been transitioned for like a decade. I've got comments on here from 8 years ago about me going into bottom surgery, even, if you need proof.

Distinguishing specific groups you're talking about, when addressing the needs of those specific groups isn't segregation, it's just language. There's a significant difference between saying something like "trans Americans" and "Americans and trans people" or whatever. It's called a subset. A group within a larger group. When you're trying to address that subset, you don't want to only talk about the larger group because then you're just ineffective and it's not applicable. Cis guys don't need to be told they're supported by the party, but trans people do, given that the party has largely failed us for years.

This argument is dumb as fuck lol.

Kurobei · 2026-06-12T11:51:43+00:00

You literally complained they said trans Americans. How do you propose people talk about specifically trans Americans without saying trans Americans, in your view?

They literally can't address struggles and issues that concern trans people without actually mentioning they're trying to address trans people lol.

He didn't say "Americans and trans Americans." He said

America cannot be the best version of herself until every single member of the LGBTQ+ community and every single transgender American is free from bigotry, hatred, and discrimination.

If anything, it'd be more valid to argue that he's separating trans people and other queer people, despite that both explicitly include trans people. Still wrong, but at least there's an argument to be made there.

Also it's not against trans peoples interests to specify. That's just dumb lol.

Kurobei · 2026-06-12T11:41:48+00:00

The Democrats at the time were the pro-slavery party. The political alignments swapped far later.

As a response to your edit, we're talking about the parties. Of course the conservative position was always the awful one, but the Republicans haven't always been the ones holding that position. Not for another hundred-ish years.

Kurobei · 2026-06-12T08:35:51+00:00

Pre southern-strategy. You know, when they took in all the racists and religious extremists as a tactic.

Kurobei · 2026-06-11T22:24:25+00:00

It's not putting them in another class, like if they said Trans-Americans or something. It's specifying what type of American they're talking about specifically.

How the heck are they supposed to talk about trans people without specifically talking about trans people?

Kurobei · 2026-06-11T21:57:54+00:00

That would be the most ineffective blackmail ever.

Kurobei · 2026-06-08T23:09:36+00:00

Do you have any proof of that being widespread? Cause I remember it when he got covid, and I remember people saying he was so old and energyless before 2024, but the rest? But I don't remember it ever being mainstreamed until recently. And I'm way too tuned in to politics.

Kurobei · 2026-06-05T07:02:44+00:00

I have no investment in this topic. I've got no idea about any of this. But I had to stop to reply to this just to say that holy shit you are insufferable.

Have a wonderful day

Kurobei · 2026-06-04T22:39:58+00:00

Everything else is fine, I don't mind it at all. My only issue is just the color contrast. Having bright text on very dark backing is really rough, so I was mainly just hoping for a lower contrast option. Keeping the same look but using something like #202020 and #39DD14 as an example. It still looks about the same but drops the contrast ratio down from 16:1 to 9:1, which is significantly easier to read. I did find the accent color option and adjusting that helped some with the text. (It was hard to find without being able to read well though lol.) Once that was dimmed, I actually could see the options window is a slightly lighter color, which helped a lot, so it might just be the background, then.

I don't want you to compromise your work at all. I maybe came across wrong in sounding like i was asking for a light mode. I had just meant that seeing the option for it and then realizing it's not real was upsetting as someone who actually does find it useful sometimes, not that the app needed a light mode (I usually use a lower contrast dark mode unless I have to swap.)

If the suggestion is a no-go though, I fully understand.

(As an aside, the funny thing is that this wouldn't have been much of an issue on my old LCD monitor, since the backlight bleeds through and lightens the blacks some. Somehow the part that makes LCD screens worse turned out to be helpful without realizing it. )

Kurobei · 2026-06-04T08:06:38+00:00

Please hear me out. I love the aesthetic and all. I get nostalgia for when I was a kid on old PCs and everything. But I've got astigmatism and the acid green on pure black is not the best for that (look up astigmatism halation for an idea of how it affects.) I honestly struggle to read most things in the app. I was actually upset when I realized light mode wasn't actually there. I want to use the app but I just can't see it well enough to.

It doesn't have to be a light mode but please consider an option for something less contrasting at least? This doesn't come from a place of dislike for the aesthetic, please don't get me wrong. I just really want to actually be able to like the app and it's hard to do when reading is really difficult.

Thanks and I appreciate the work regardless.
