You’ve actually seen trans people, in person, threaten to burn down a surgery building? I doubt this.
As for people being suicidal, that’s a known problem which happens as a result of being trans in a country that wants to deny them support, which is exactly why trans people are trying to get recognition in the first place. Denying that isn’t exactly going to make their mental health any better, and they can’t be blamed for that.
(aside: I keep messing up with parsing the acronyms ECHR and EHRC.)
I doubt this will lead to anything positive, possibly even starmer aping conservative’s desire to leave human rights bodies altogether, but I wish them luck all the same.
Absolutely. Screenshots of 3d desktop cube on ubuntu more than a decade ago is what taught me linux existed. It’s an absolutely terrible and inefficient way to run desktop workspaces, but it hooked me all the same.
Users need to know what this dot means, and some like children or the elderly will likely not understand the ramifications

Yet another case where if the politician seriously thought about the issue for just half a minute they’d realise their attitude makes no sense.
I’m not sure if centre-right is a characterisation you can make of ferengi politics in this way.
I usually associate the left/right distinction as an indicator of mainly economic policy. We know that things like unions, worker rights, etc (leftist economic ideals) have never been big on fereginar. I don’t think there’s been that big a shift even with union man Rom at the helm.
I think that attitudes towards social issues like women’s rights are completely orthogonal to economic ones. It’s easy looking at current human political tribalism to group everyone on a left/right binary, but consider that during DS9 Rom, the economic leftist, did not at all like his mother wearing clothes and being open. If anything, the economically right leaning quark was less bothered by it.
those kanji in that order are read as “kawaii”

This clever pricing system is only available on Itch.io, […] It is also on sale on Steam until March 7, but that price doesn’t fluctuate.
I thought steam had some sort of t&c agreement where you had to price all copies of a game the same no matter the store they were on. surely this would violate those rules. or am I misremembering that?
“Key franchises”? And they don’t think WW is a key franchise? Out of all their films from the past few years, the WW ones have been some of the best. If they don’t want to do anything with it, they don’t deserve the IP.
The biggest challenge with an “owned wealth” tax is how do you actually measure it? It’s easy if it’s held in cash in a bank, but most billionaire’s wealth is is land, property, and how do you measure the value of a Picasso stored in a vault if they can slip the valuator a grand to say it’s worthless?
Closing offshore money transfer loopholes, heightened tax on luxury spending (100% VAT on private jets and yachts?), making fines income-based, and treating capital gains the same way as income, are all more achievable.
I’m totally on board with the sentiment though.
I’m not sure if this counts as gameplay mechanics or rather narrative structure, but games like Outer Wilds, Fez, Tunic, where the exploration and discovery of the game is the end goal of playing the game, not just getting to the game’s end state.
I’m not sure if there’s an accepted term for these games, but I’ve always thought of them as “archaeology” games. There’s a bunch of stuff, both plot and gameplay, that is hidden (sometimes in plain sight), until you discover it and find out what meaning it carries.
It’s honestly not amazing. It’s a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to “hack” and take over enemies or melee, it’s usually just easier to shoot.
But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).
It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.
I’ve downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn’t always necessary to enjoy a game. I’ve been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.
Just use PCGW for that https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Avowed#Game_data
Adjusted to the initial sale value of the car - Less easy to cheat by not declaring income, and bigger cars (likely more expensive) that take up more space, pay more.
