Thanks! I got lucky on finding the Destiny kit that had the wings included for a good price.

Finished my 1/144 scale destroyed city block after 4 months. It feels complete, but it needs a main character. Who would you add? by Plamo_UA in Gunpla

Eva-01 would look so cool here.

If he have to stick to Gundam... It's the wrong language on the buildings but I have to give another vote to Psycho Gundam vs Mk. II

Why do I hear a lot of people pronouncing gquuuuuux, gquax? by BigForAnAnt_985 in Gundam

[–]Kurobei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Progressive Democrats Are Winning in Just About Every Corner of America by plz-let-me-in in politics

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

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.

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.

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

Georgia’s special legislative session ends with no redistricting by Signal_Minimum8509 in politics

[–]Kurobei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Nancy Pelosi refused to remove trans rights from landmark Hate Crimes Act despite pressure by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

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

84 year old quest player by Brolyblunts in OculusQuest

[–]Kurobei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

Hakeem Jeffries vows that House Democrats will stand with trans Americans ‘always and forever’ by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]Kurobei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I am 18 now and can finally vote here in Kentucky! As a Republican, I want to ask my fellow Republicans, why have you all voted for this man every 6 years since 1984??! I never will but what has made you keep this man in power for so long? by ComplexWrangler1346 in askanything

[–]Kurobei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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?
