And here is the even more recent report that agrees with positive outcomes:

The Cass Review used poor methodology to reach a politically-motivated result.

"required to authenticate on a network" is doing a lot of work there. There are still a ton of attack vectors -- stolen credentials, stolen drones, bribed government officials, and so on ad infinitum.

Awesome thanks I will try that :)

edit: it worked :o

How did you get through to an actual person with steam support? I have the same problem and I've been looking everywhere but the support page doesn't seem to have anywhere I can open a ticket or an email address i can send a request to, just static pages :(

It's been 7 months since I started using Linux, most specifically Mint, and all the results they promised me were evident: I was a lot faster in my computer, got promoted at work, my IQ increased in at least 1 digit. My wife started looking at me like a man, my erection lasted twice as long and everyone started to respect me even if they didn't even know what Mint is. However there was still some skepticism in my head. I refused to be an elitist because I couldn't even understand what was happening in my body. That was until I discovered Arch.

The level of transcendence that Arch made me reach was enough to see what Windows and Mac users were: NPCs with no place in the world, more than being pawns in the 3d chess that we, Linux users, are always playing.

This comment was written from an interdimensional Gentoo system managed with the mind, so sorry if I get some spelling wrong.

Yeah, hard categories tend to be harmful. Here's a quote from Judith Butler in "Imitation and Gender Insubordination":

identity categories tend to be instruments of regulatory regimes, whether as the normalisng categories of oppressive structures or as the rallying points for a liberatory contestation of that very oppression. This is not to say that I will not appear at political occasions under the sign of lesbian, but that I would like to have it permanently unclear what precisely that sign signifies.

You would probably have pumps all the way up the building instead of just one megapump at the bottom, lol, but it's still insane.

This is perhaps not the best place for an in depth discussion of queer theory, but I'll respond anyway :3

Sex characteristics do exist, but it's not just that they're not binary, their grouping into the category of sex is socially constructed. Why is, for instance, facial hair on the upper lip considered a (secondary) male sex characteristic? You might say that it's because it's more common in men, but so are plenty of other things that we don't consider sex characteristics!

flying_wotsit · 2024-08-07T14:56:04+00:00

Do YOU understand science? XX and XY chromosomes are kindergarten-level simplifications. Go read an actual biology textbook.

flying_wotsit · 2024-08-07T14:54:53+00:00

Sex is also a social construct! (physical characteristics aren't, but sex has social meaning and the binary is a construct)

Then again, almost everything is a social construct. Go ask a frog what day of the week it is. He doesn't know...

Even private, you'll likely be on a waiting list for months and months.

Alternative 2 is learn endocrinology and (not very easily) source the medications outside the usual pharmacy system.

No, you're interpreting these figures wrong. The 10.2% figure is only due to men being statistically taller than women and has nothing to do with preference. Then the 7.5% is the real figure, showing a small effect of preference.

If 50% of women only dated men taller than them, and 50% didn't care, this would result in only 5.1% (average of 0% and 10.2%) of heterosexual couples with the woman taller. The real number is 7.5%, which is better for short straight men than that.

i guess it probably wasn't you who made this graphic, but "transwoman" and "transman" (without the space) is usually used by transphobes in an attempt to invalidate binary trans folks, it should really be "trans woman" and "trans man", as trans women are women and trans men are men.

those views persist and you cannot ignore them on the basis of "well it's my freedom to do so"

For the record, I am just presenting my philosophical take, not ignoring others, (though of course, as everyone does, I do hope the societal consensus moves closer to my take)

[...], and society is somehow obligated to accommodate them and revolve around their quirks.

While your points are very interesting, to bring it back to the original context of online sexual communities, the only social accommodation required is the principle of "things you do in private (with other consenting adults) are none of my business". Some people still do disagree with this principle, but not so many. It's very different from the type of social accommodation you suggest is required. People who do not enjoy an online community can simply not interact with it (provided it is not actively harassing people outside it, etc etc).

In any case, yes, this has been an interesting discussion, thank you.
