@AOCUnchecked@JackieWulfVT@nyaraVT I agree, the scientifically backed truth of gender affirming care giving positive results is more important than the feelings of people who are disgusted by trans people existing publicly outside of cultural gender norms typically tied to the associated sex.
@nolan1231231231@_abhi0x@ShitpostGate There is a level of personal responsibility but it’s not wrong to point out trends of a larger portion of workers being in this situation over time and pretending the onus is entirely on each individual is how the problem gets worse. The ones who hold the chips perpetuate it most
@Dave5oh1@animmjfan@meijiimk “Content I consume” and it’s just tech reviews from learning to build my own PC this year, gaming content, and stand up comedians.
Keep trying to fit everyone into these neat little boxes. People are multifaceted and the world is more beautiful if you respect its’ complexities.
@nolan1231231231@_abhi0x@ShitpostGate It can be coercive through lack of access to safety and security if you lose the job that you “aren’t being forced to work at”
That’s how the entire lower wage end of the worker pool functions and every time someone uses this dumbass point it comes off disingenuous.
@Dave5oh1@animmjfan@meijiimk My mind is strong, I don’t let culture or societal gender norms prevent me from looking at my self independent of the judgement of others. It all comes down to “If it was just me existing in the world would that truest self feel these feelings?” And the answer is always yes.
@Dave5oh1@animmjfan@meijiimk My “self” is completely related to my consciousness. My body is the tool that I use to interact with the world. I don’t see why I should change the root of who I am to align with the dice roll of sex that I was born with. I can’t imagine my body is more “me” than my internal self
@Daramgar FFXIV has a really great story with many moments that will get you teared up and/or excited that has 10+ years of content and a community that is very accepting and patient with helping new players. Dungeon design and music are phenomenal. Tons of casual and hardcore content.
@Cookedk_@PhasmophobicBoi @eglizzabeth @KawaiitRiot I mean I feel like performative support is not mutually exclusive with genuine support, like my friends can sometimes be somewhat over the top in what some would deem a performative way optics wise with it but it still comes from a place of caring and desire to be supportive.
@Crazypostalbob@C_TwiterGod @ZenoUbermensch @mean_toe@mlo_crmb@RightWingCope@Justburr0210 Is there still not the issue of Tesla being able to sell for much less with their excess capital to get by until they’ve snuffed out competitors?
If the system leans too far towards the top and the consumer’s only incentive to buy small is a moral one often they won’t buy small.
@Crazypostalbob@C_TwiterGod @ZenoUbermensch @mean_toe@mlo_crmb@RightWingCope@Justburr0210 Would you be opposed to this in a different industry where they allowed for companies to get scaled benefits based on their size that deplete as a company grows?
This is a real functional application of “Support small businesses”, otherwise you careen towards monopoly.
@pix6ms @SamwiseG11 @royal_bobby24@Dexerto The party is the economy, a shared system with limited resources, and for 0.1% of that group to hold even 10% of that is obscene, let alone the actual number.
@freshniq@sdonehue1@Schema45@KyleKulinski Exactly this, especially the first point, This is a prime example of how republicans would rather spend extra money to gatekeep who gets this because it makes them feel like less money is getting spent, when in reality that money just goes to the bureaucracy that manages it.
@Sencio79@KyleKulinski Ah yes, I too would be grateful for a person spitting in my face instead of punching me.
Or maybe all of the above are freedom limiting ideologies and we should allow people to be critical of them regardless of how drastic each of their measures are relative to eachother.
