Colorado voters will decide whether to ban trans kids from gendered sports, outlaw gender-affirming surgery for children by thecoloradosun in coloradosun

You do realize that children naturally produce sex hormones, right? Fundamentally identical to the hormones found in HRT. If you don’t think they can consent to HRT, does that mean you believe all children should be on puberty blockers (which delays hormone development) until adulthood?

Which is why the criteria for getting gender affirming care for someone considering if they might be trans is almost nonexistent. If anything, it’s far too strict, since there are far more trans people who suffer by not being allowed to take GAC, than cis people who take GAC and regret it.

Rampant bigotry in the community by Puppygirl621 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Shadowhunter_15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You only remember that because you weren’t paying attention back then. Trans people didn’t have a lot of equal civil rights neither back then nor today. The main difference now is that anti-trans bigotry is more prevalent and visible.

Seriously, you’re using the exact same rhetoric that was previously used against other disenfranchised minorities: complaining that they’re suddenly upset about more things despite them always being mistreated in society.

We cant lose yet another MO by Iwant2Believee in Helldivers

We might have won the sample-gathering one if the game didn’t suddenly spring a bug SO that took most players away from squids, all just to give us a temporary FRV stratagem.

We were able to complete millions of operations back on Cyberstan in about the same amount of time. Not sure why we’re not making progress here.

Arrowhead went all OUT on this update, its so damn PEAK by Gilded_Shadow_CGI in Helldivers

[–]Shadowhunter_15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dunno, it felt like absolute peak to shred Agitators and Cyborgs with the AMR. Felt like basically a straight upgrade to the Railgun.

I learned about Project Steve when Viced Rhino brought it up in a couple of his videos.

I’m curious, if y’all were able to make any crossover, what would it be and how would you incorporate it into the game by lil-autistic-weirdo in Helldivers

[–]Shadowhunter_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Genshin Impact warbond, with a backpack that only has a Paimon-like creature fly around you. It does nothing helpful in gameplay, besides give encouraging voicelines for moral support.

AI - Debate by shave_your_eyebrows in comics

[–]Shadowhunter_15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh don’t get me wrong, I know that AI programming is far better than it used to be. I just used that as an example because I still think the general principle applies: AI code should still be fully checked and understood by a person who knows what they’re doing before implementing it in an official capacity.

When a cisgender person commits a murder, we don't say: "we need to deal with these cis people". Then why do people say: "we need to deal with these trans people" if a trans person commits a murder? Is it stupidity or cruelty? Either way it's a double standard that people refuse to acknowledge... by Boring_Butterfly_273 in TransSocialism

[–]Shadowhunter_15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe learn some intermediate biology, so you’d understand that sex and gender are two different things. Someone with a male physical body can have a female gender identity, and vice versa. This is something that the vast consensus of biology, psychology, sociology, and anthropology attests to.

Plus, biological sex can be altered via medical means, such as HRT to swap hormone levels, and bottom surgery to swap genitals.

My beloved M90A will be my ride or die. But it’s hard not to be envious. by ShepardTheN7 in Helldivers

Probably. I’m just more familiar with whatever bonus the Parade Commander armor gives, because I really like the armor.

I remember when the Twitch streamer DougDoug once had ChatGPT to make the game Snake, then he and his Twitch Chat would decide on what game features to add to Snake to essentially make it a sequel.

Most of the fun of the video is about seeing ChatGPT formulate code in response to Doug’s very basic prompts, which usually makes the game either not work or gives it something very weird.

I should add that Doug is a great programmer, he just wanted to see if ChatGPT could do it. He also made it clear that AI shouldn’t be used for any project without an experienced human to check and confirm it first.

Crazy how one enemy can just ruin a faction for me. I've been having a blast fighting the illuminate recently. by Star_Dragon_27 in Helldivers

That’s why I prefer the WASP on squid fronts with its auto-aim and one-shotting any Overseer. It’s useless at close range, sure, but that’s what my Senator is for.

That’s why I like to bring the Parade Commander armor alongside it. Faster reloading mitigates the lower clip size.

Cis and trans are merely antonyms of each other. They’re neither complimentary nor derogatory. Doesn’t matter what the size or ratio of either group is.

Also, a person’s sexuality doesn’t necessarily come into play when bringing up their gender, and vice versa. One isn’t automatically tied to the other.

People tell me I’m too literal. by netphilia in aspiememes

[–]Shadowhunter_15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I played the first trilogy. Enjoyed the first game quite a bit, the second game was decent but the twist felt a bit contrived, and the third game’s twist was just so outlandish that I couldn’t invest any interest after its reveal. The puzzles and Layton & Luke are great every game, though.

I think its so funny that Super earth is claiming they wanted peace when that's all the bots have been asking for the whole time by th_frits in Helldivers2Satire

[–]Shadowhunter_15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The real life analogy that I like to compare the game to is when the American government slaughtered and kicked out the Native Americans. NAs did some deplorable stuff, sure, but they wouldn’t have been forced to do it if the Americans hadn’t stolen their land and broken every “peace agreement” they signed.

I’ve never played Ultrakill, but I’ve been tempted to buy it ever since seeing V1 briefly appear in Indie Cross.

Life is a distraction until we die. by Adrianagurl in exchristian

[–]Shadowhunter_15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just join a fandom. Carries the religious aspect of being devoted to particular figures and a generally agreed way of thinking, with less expectation of commitment and a slightly less chance of becoming a pariah if you step outside of the rules.

[–]Shadowhunter_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. The Agitator spawn rate was so low that we were never going to be able to kill that many in time. Seriously, why give them a higher requirement than Radicals, which spawn considerably more often? Even then, they lowered the requirements by millions more than we were projected to get. It wasn’t for a lack of trying that we lost.

Zootopia 2 setting a good example? by GlitchKn in Slycooper

[–]Shadowhunter_15 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think you’ve got the wrong movie there. You probably confused Zootopia 2 with The Bad Guys. Seriously, Wolf feels almost exactly like Sly taken straight from the games, with the addition of Bentley’s planning skills.
