In the 70’s US, most people were entirely unaware of the subject. Violence against trans people absolutely occurred, and it was absolutely horrific, but the problems mostly stemmed from true ignorance. It was not like today where over 500 anti-trans bills were introduced this year to systematically harm, erase, and even hunt people for not identifying with what they were assigned at birth. With multiple organizations like the HRC declaring a state of emergency for trans people, yes, things today are undoubtedly more hostile than they have been in the past.

Talk to older people

How about you do that? I do quite frequently, in fact. From the events I’ve created or attended to celebrate trans identities, older trans people have exclusively expressed to me their fears for the growing hatred, and how it is unlike anything they have seen before. There are far more people that are accepting today than ever, yes, but there are also far more people who have so much extreme bigotry that they commit violence against trans people.

Believe it or not, you can do more stuff than just vote. However, you can do nothing about problems that you’re unaware of, even if they’re problems that affect you directly.

If only that were true. I can’t speak for the world as a whole, but things are pretty bad in the US. As a whole, LGBTQ+, especially trans folks, are at the highest risk of being victimized in the last 50 years. Just a few months ago, about 15 miles away from where I live, a trans kid was lured by right wing extremists and murdered. They used Grindr to catfish him in a planned, coordinated action. They are on trial for it right now.

I used that example to iterate how problems do exist in our personal communities. Anecdotes are not proof of larger societal trends, but the societal trends show it is a societal problem, too.

Yes, the number in the article I linked is not large by itself, but it is important to remember they are nearly all people who were fully out and were not afraid to tell people it. Most trans people are either somewhat or entirely closeted for safety.

“it’s not real if you just ignore it”

Or even

“They’re just lying to you about it for views”

I’m sorry to inform you, but the world is going through very rough times politically, especially the US. Many things are exaggerated, or even entirely fabricated, for views, but many things are not. Some of the worst stuff, however, is stuff that is never even covered by the news, like Project 2025 or the stuff happening in the Midwest/southeast states. Putting your head in the sand helps no one, even yourself.

Infinite growth is fine when the thing growing isn’t real, like money. Money is not a resource we find in reality, it’s purely a human-made representation of value. It’s only when it spreads to real resources does infinite growth become a problem.

I’m sorry homie but VR is going nowhere. No one outside of a small, niche community even cares about it anymore.

LMFAO ok bud, nice deflection

It’s sexist if you don’t look further into the claims, instead just relying on your immediate assumptions about them being false.

If you immediately assume women are lying about experiencing sexism, and you don’t look into it further at all, and your reasoning is based solely on them being women as opposed to men, then yeah I’d say that’s pretty sexist. I’m not sure how someone could think otherwise.

Other types of sexism include disbelief when a woman explains their experiences and baselessly denying evidence they present to support their claims.

Good, mfers need to learn

They’re not real Christians! /s

Do you understand Montana isn’t run by progressives?

“it’s their fault if they get offended”

• person who doesn’t value the opinion of those they offend

This is wrong. What OP said was very much offensive, comparing yourself to that of a slaver. It is a rare figure of speech, and while not intentional it is still offensive. However, the context of who you’re talking to doesn’t matter, it is an offensive statement regardless of the history of the person you’re saying it to.

For OP: it is okay to make a mistake, especially when you recognize it.

Both of those terms are offensive in the US, too. People that use it just choose to not value the input from those that they offend.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has no dlc at all. It has no dlc even announced, let alone available for purchase. Stop making shit up lol. Their launcher has info about the different games they’ve made and their prices, but when you actually launch the game it has NO ad of any sort. You could only barely call the info in their launcher an ad in the first place.

Bro do you know how power storage works

Bro who asked

Bro dota 2 and dota 1 were literally the exact same game until 6.84 lmfao

It’s not the tuition, it’s the funding being cut by the states that’s the problem (for public universities). States used to fund universities significantly more than they do now.
