People would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

And let’s live in the alternate reality you’re talking about for a minute. Can two straight people get married in China with no intention of procreation? Can two gay people get married if they’re planning to adopt? Can they even adopt? Come on man, I get being wrong, but don’t double down on it.

China treats LGBT folks equally to cishets.

Looks inside

No gay marriage

So the definition of systemic homophobia. Not even the bare minimum.

What’s your point? They were engaged in a proxy war that suddenly escalated without much warning. I think it’s clear that I’m taking about the escalation when I say war.

I think there’s a little bit of conflation happening in terms of the demographics each of us is trying to talk about.

The conversations I’m talking about are pre-war, when there wasn’t even hint of the US or Israel attacking Iran. Some of these people are very new to my city at the time, they moved less than a year ago. They are currently devastated at what is happening to their home country.

The girls school was definitely bombed by the US and Israel. That is undeniable fact and anyone who wants to deny that cannot face the truth.

There is a lot of propaganda around this war, and around any war. But I do not appreciate you trying to invalidate the voices of people who were born and raised in that country, spent the vast majority of their lives there, still have family and friends there, and personally experienced the kind of hatred and violence that comes from a religious government. I don’t mean to attack you personally but you’re demonstrating a complete lack of recognition of the moral complexity. That the current Iranian government is terrible and has committed horrific crimes against its own people, but that does not justify foreign powers attempting a racist coup for their own benefit and spreading propaganda about it.

Anecdotal I know, but I’m friends with several Iranian people, good friends with some of them. Every one of them and their families has nothing but bad things to say about that government. They’re a horrible dictatorial power that completely suppresses women’s rights, religious freedoms, and bodily autonomy. They rule on fear and terror and are genuinely awful.

They are still supported by small groups of extreme religious conservatives who will threaten and call the police on any woman exercising autonomy because that is what they believe their imaginary space friend wants.

This is not propaganda when it comes from people, especially women, who’ve lived their whole lives in fear of this regime and couldn’t wait to get out. Could my knowledge be skewed by only having spoken to Iranian emigrants? Yes, sure. But the facts they’ve talked about are still true.

This has to be one of the most boomer out-of-touch I’m-a-cool-smart-guy memes I’ve seen on here, and that’s saying something.

I mostly just hear negativity towards NFS Heat and Unbound, but I found both of them to be incredibly fun and engaging. Grab a friend and make stupid builds like offroad supercars or spongebob VWs. Or try to make actually good builds, either way they’re really fun games. On the other hand, I never enjoyed Forza.

I played both of them way way past release, and I felt like 2 was a really good, really fun gameplay experience. I would rate 2’s gameplay higher but 1’s story higher.

Wealth flight is a myth, it is not real.

A good video that sums it up in a nice way: https://youtu.be/6DXZMXZCY0I

If I wanted to read dice rolled sentences I would do it myself. The computer does not think for you, stop posting slop.

Or move forward twice, turn 90°, move forward once, turn 90° opposite to the direction you turned earlier, and move forward twice

You’re right I vote to get rid of the food budget entirely. That’s 10 more cookies a month.

Hello Zara r u enjoying the fediverse today

At $20/cookie, this is 180 cookies per month, or an average of 6 cookies per day.

I really like that aspect of his music because you can learn his songs in a really simple way on guitar and it’s fine, or you can learn the really complicated way and it elevates the piece.

That’s funny because Divide was my least favourite album of his, and it came out when I was in high school. Everything before Divide > everything after Divide > Divide.

I guess it’s really… divisive.

Shape of You is horrible but listen to Songs I Wrote With Amy, +, Loose Change, or X, and he’s incredibly talented.

I love Ed 😭
