my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

I feel crazy that I have to argue that labelling everything for "gooners" (which has gone from effectively marathon edging sessions to literally all masturbation or sexual desire) is just indication that we're in the puritanical backlash portion of gaming culture, and it's wild how this has flipped
#MarvelRivals director was asked what he thinks about people calling it a 'gooner game' 🎮
"They all come from classic comic designs ... I'm very grateful these designs have been well received by the majority of our players"

a thing i simply cannot get over, as The Media collapses for i think the 5th time in my adult life, is what the fuck business the people who own these publications think they are in. shouldn’t the point be to just make enough money making the articles to make more articles

I've been broadly skeptical BF6 for various reasons but apparently it's shipping with a bespoke version of Godot as a user map editor?
That's like, genuinely sick as hell.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

I haven't posted about this for a while because unemployment has just become part of who I am for the past few years, but the whole process is just... Demoralizing to say the least.
Doesn't make me feel the least bit sympathetic towards recruiters because of how poorly they treat applicants.

Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.

BSky's following tab is only made a compelling proposition by the discover tab's utter uselessness.
I'm not following as many people as I'd ideally want, and nearly every new face I see on there is NOT posting anything I'd be remotely interested in.
