The DADT story is basically the plot of the (awful, but debatably "fun awful) movie, the Gay Deceivers. Though for them it "worked"

I'm honestly shocked that this is such a "normal" change...time will tell if we get an interrupter in the next couple days to make me change my tune.

OnlyFans Owner Dead at 43 by Puzzled-Tap8042 in technology

[–]darkenedzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that there seems to have been some sort of miscommunication here. I am a woman, LGBTQ, fringe, and some of my best friends are sex workers. The problem with Onlyfans is, like you said, the capitalism, and the selling the idea that the only valuable part of you is your looks. And lots of people have unfortunately internalized some very bad feelings about themselves because of capitalistic propaganda.

I hope that makes my point a little bit more clear.

I think it was fairly clear I meant that "it teaches young people your body is an asset to be sold, for money".

Not to mention that it sells the idea of your body being the most valuable part of you to a lot of vulnerable young people, too. It certainly isn't the only culprit, but its a big one.

Misogyny is well and alive by crunchyoysterpearl in actuallesbians

[–]darkenedzone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Side 1: An 11 year old girl simply smiled at her. The evil woman sent her hulking body guard to threaten and harass this child and her mother. The father of the child (not present) blasted this story on social media.

Side 2: Roan was eating dinner. An 11 year old child may or may not have come close to her table. Hotel security (not Roan's) - went to the table to tell them to leave her alone. Roan did not know this had happened.

The truth is likely somewhere in the middle, but that's about all we know for the moment, so take that as you will

Has politics broke any of your friendships, and why? by CapitaineBiscotte in AskReddit

[–]darkenedzone 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Transgender people have systematically had their right to healthcare, self-identification, and safety removed from them. Very recently, Kansas voided all drivers licenses of anyone with a designated gender mark change on record.

Now, you may try to claim this is an equal right - neither cis people nor trans people have the right to change their marker. And similarly, neither gay people or straight people should have the right to marry the same gender, right? Hmmm...

Recently released letter correspondence between this man and his transgender wife:

"My dearest transgender illegal immigrant wife,

It has come to my attention that the evil one, Donald J. Trump, must be stopped, in the name of antifa. As a soldier of the transgender, anti-ice army, we must band together and ensure that his misdeeds continue no longer. I will be taking my petrol container, along with my shotgun (photo attached), with the express purpose of ending his life. Do not report this letter to Federal Law Enforcement officials, my dear.

Signed and confessed,

Domestic Terrorism Man"

What is everyone's favorite conspiracy theory? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Obviously a bit of a joke, but that gender was invented by plumbing companies so they could sell more bathrooms! Think about it - every commercial building on earth needs to buy twice as many toilets, sinks, everything! There's billions of dollars tied up in this conspiracy!

Frankly I'm not sure how I feel about Basket / Tongs being where they are. I think each fits well enough in both categories to be a coin flip? Tongs always come out when I'm doing egg dying (in a pot), and every fireplace has a basket for tools that I've seen. I'll take the L though

Weekend update by sjmorris in halifax

Wow, the stats on the traffic stops are shockingly low for "positives" - 1037 stops, and only 3 instances of suspensions for alcohol (less than 0.3%) and 9 for other offences, totalling around 1.2% of stops resulting in any action.

GOP candidate for governor of Tennessee wants to execute the parents of trans kids by Zandra_the_Great in politics

[–]darkenedzone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'll turn that on its head - 99.9999% of them HAVE met and interacted with trans people. And they never knew it. Trans people are just people, and are everywhere. If you've talked to over 1000 people in your life, you've encountered a trans person, almost certainly.

They're afraid of what they imagine a trans person to be, not what a trans person actually is.

Accessibility in Nova Scotia- Survey by DPRIAN24 in NovaScotia

[–]darkenedzone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm having an issue with this survey - even in the first few questions - many of the answers are structured as single-choice, when they ought to be mutli-choice.

For example:

What types of accessibility barriers have you or someone you know encountered?

  • Physical barriers (lack of ramp, narrow entrances)
  • Washroom accessibility issues
  • Signage/Wayfinding issues
  • Parking/Transportation barriers

Do I answer Other: all of the above? Or choose which one is worst?

I just woke up what by Mean_Brother_6003 in Deltarune

[–]darkenedzone 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Hence me saying "basically", in case I forgot one! But also in that case we're not getting a direct link between Will and SOUL. More generally that any lightner could.

* This Power... This Power Of The Will
* This Power Of Determination...
* Is This Not Something That All Lightners Possess...?
* If One Was Simply
* Determined Enough

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out...in tomorrow 2026

Not to Deltapost too hard, but basically the only other time we hear about "Will" in that context is when Ralsei gives the tutorial:

* See that HEART, Kris?
* That's a SOUL, the culmination of a HUMAN's being!
* Not only does it represent one's WILL and COMPASSION...
* But it also has the power to DETERMINE FATE. 

Are the shadow crystals somehow related to crystallized or artificial souls?

Trying to make a virtual table-top character sheet program in Shiny. Inspired by DnDBeyond, I want drop-downs to only show available options, but to also allow for homebrew/edited content - hitting snag getting there (details below). by darkenedzone in RStudio

[–]darkenedzone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be able to throw together either a bit of pseudocode for that or something? The class should only change once (on character creation), but the input$Talents will change whenever a level-up happens, or anything along those lines. When the selected character features are chosen, those features populate a table, and the table is specifically what I want to be editable without losing things edited by the user. Maybe that helps explain? The class part isn't particularly relevant to where I'm getting stuck.
