Not mine. I only cross-posted it. The honor belongs to the OP ShareMySims who posted it on midwest.social.

We’re gonna look at a TikTok account that uses Math to explain (Hate) women. While it’s tempting to dismiss this account as just another routine TikTok Mysoganist - because he’s so committed to charts, math and something that looks like science… he almost figures out why young men are struggling with women.

On July 17th, 2020, at 10:10 PM–Eastern Standard Time, mind you–a transgender friend of mine sent me a link to a webcomic, saying that it felt very relatable to her. So, since I wanted to be a good friend and try to understand her situation a little bit better, I read it… and immediately plunged into an eleven-day-long panic attack. This comic said things to me openly that I’d never said to anyone, ever. I was rung like a struck bell. And, at the end of those eleven days, when I said to my therapist, “Melissa, I don’t think I’m cis,” her response was a simple, gentle, “I don’t think you are either.”

Feedback gets rid of overt biases but leaves subtle racism intact.

The Altenburg ("old castle") goes back to the early 12th century. It suffered heavy damages in the peasant uprisings of the 16th century and was further damaged by a landslide in the 18th century. A charity took over the ruin in the early 19th century and restored the castle.

An aerial view of the castle

The likely origin of the castle was in the 13th century, though its precise date of construction is unknown. It was renovated in the 17th century, though another renovation in 1901 aimed to restore its medieval appearance. It serves as a hotel today.
It is sometimes referred to as one of the most beautiful moated castles in France.

A phony campaign on X backing Trump ahead of the US election is using stolen or manipulated photos of real women in Europe to push its agenda.

The castle was originally build in the 12th century in order to protect a bridge over the river Loue. After it got damaged during wars in the 17th century, the buildings were rebuilt and modified in the 18th century, though the medieval layout remained mostly intact.

How often does it need to be said? Do not preorder games based on what they looked like in the trailers!

It may sound silly to some, but "Guilty Gear Strive" - i.e. Bridget - was very important to me. Once I realized that I was envious of a character from a game who could have something that I had not (a transition), it was the final crack in the egg. If I wanted to have what Bridget had, I had to pursue it IRL and I do since then.

Yeah, trans people in the UK are in horrible danger.
In regards to Hillary Cass I am not even sure how much of this is actual regret and how much is her trying to save her reputation in regards to her scientific credentials. It may be politically opportune to write a report full of bigoted pseudo-science that slanders the academic community who does actual science, but it comes at a price.

The benefit of use high-end cameras (like those from Arri) is that they usually have a higher range for ISO (light sensitivity) and aperture, which makes it easier to shoot without setting up lighting for every specific shot. Most people know this from smartphone cameras: Cheap ones struggle in low-light settings while better ones will still be able to produce decent pictures.

I don't want to contradict you, but...

But the most recent 10th-edition codex includes a point-of-view piece of lore from Calladayce Taurovalia Kesh, who uses she/her pronouns.

That codex was already published last summer. So it has already been lore for a while now, even though the misogynerds only took notice when GW tweeted about it.

It's a cult. Altman is one of the TESCREAL devotees. He truly believes that he can build the electronic messiah.

It can be very small things. Personally, if games have a character creator, I can't play games as my assigned gender. Impossible. If I chose my assigned gender, I will rather not play the game at all.

That's one part of the reason: Google seriously angered the judge by deleting possible evidence (Google got in similar trouble in the anti-trust trial in regards to their search engine). Additionally there were emails that showed that Google was very worried about Epic and that they bribed phone manufacturers to not install pre-install a Fortnite launcher (or other app stores) on their phones.

So there was a clear paper trail that showed how Google execs used their control over Android and the Google app store in order to undermine Epic's efforts to circumvent having to pay Google for being included in the app store. That's the main difference in regards to the trial against Apple where the evidence was not that clear-cut.
