If you're rich, a fine isn't a punishment but rather just an extra expense

What years of anti-feminist propaganda does to a man

Wasn't aware that tolerance to silence can actually be a cultural thing, that's pretty fascinating.

In some countries, being silent is actually an interrogation technique since people tend to be uncomfortable with it and instinctually try to make some noise, be it through universal language or just talking which can make you reveal information you otherwise wouldn't have shared.

Wonder how it's actually going to be enforced. Judging from the article, it'll all be up to the tech companies themselves which historically didn't turn out to be that effective (examples: age fields on services like Discord and Gmail and porn).

The only effective way I can think of is having to send a picture of your ID but that's hella invasive

Fun fact: US is one of the few countries in the western world that legally protects violence against your children.

To contrast this, in most European countries, hitting your child is legally treated the same as hitting any other person or adult - it's assault, and there are no legal exceptions when it comes to corporal punishment at home.

The far-right (and I'm pretty sure Trump) had already stated that "yup, project 2025 is the agenda", but only after the election was a done deal.

Gemini spent a bit too much time on political subreddits

Nah, it's less fun than that. The capital is eating the left, again :(

Some context, albeit simplified: Disco Elysium as an IP and the company behind it (ZA/UM) practically got stolen by some rich investors from the original developers, and most of the original team left or got fired. There were plans for an official sequel of the game, but it got cancelled recently and since then, three games got announced back to back to back by three different studios and have promised to deliver a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The companies are:

  • Longdue. They have some of the people who developed the original game plus people from big companies like Bungie, Rockstar, but they're also in bed with ZA/UM and are the ones suing the other two companies.

  • Dark Math Games. While they do have the most 'game' currently as in their spiritual sequel titled 'XXX Nightshift' has some trailers and a Steam page, there's not that much known about them.

  • Summer Eternal. It's a workers co-op studio led by an original games' writer. They have a website which hosts their manifesto, and having read it it's definitely very Disco, would recommend.

To be fair, them getting their shit together would be good regardless if there's another legitimate election in the future

Climate change isn't real, it's the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.
