I mean, queer people use about/among themselves sometimes. Over time it might get more reclaimed like "queer" was
But it will take time, either way, and some people will never be okay with the word, as they have too much bad association with it, just the same as with "queer"
I sometimes use it for comedic value, though relatively rarely. I avoid using it among people who I don't know well, though
Okay, but dolphins don't have writing or any other means of storing arbitrary information. If an alien had that capability, which they will if they are a civilization, things might be very different
Because we would live in a shared reality, if both species were to try to achieve communication, we would start out with something as simple as the basic building blocks of reality, like, say, the elements of the periodic table, to build out the foundation of communication. Then you would incorporate stuff like math and logic, and then it's downhill from there
There are ways to build up a system of communication even though the two sides are as different from each other as they can be, because ultimately, as we share the same reality, we have an objective basis to base our method of communication on. And that's all you need. It doesn't matter if we speak and they use odors, if we can both agree that hydrogen is hydrogen, and we can both perceive that we are in presence of hydrogen
This is just posadism
However I have a slight problem in that I struggle to connect to my mirror image even when awake and sober lmao
Then again, sometimes it does feel like I'm dreaming when awake and sober so
Sure, but deadlock isn't exactly late. And if there's a time when you want to add more developers, then an alpha when the game is still in the early stages is the best time to do so
I mean, they're not gonna stop developing deadlock once it comes out. It's likely gonna be a decade long project at least. More hands won't hurt.
Yeah, as teenagers high amounts of screen time is a symptom of other stuff, whether it's an abusive home situation or mental health issues, or something else
In addition to... What else is there to do as a teenager these days? Especially in a car-centric place?
Kids however probably should have screen time limited, and try to be engaged in other ways, especially their parents, however, many parents are not good parents
Why would it never be easy? There's no fundamental reason for why it can't work as well as on windows, or any other operating system
Private companies, especially global ones, have too much power. Isn't it kinda fucked up how a company can overrule laws in multiple countries all over the world, just due to how strong their presence is?
Ok but this is very simple. Everyone can set up something like this using home assistant and a few sensors connected up to it
Except you can say this literal exact thing about the opposites too
Should black people have just stayed slaves and not have rights even though "they are absolutely convinced they should have"? Should us queer people never fight back and fight for acceptance? Etc etc.
The actual difference is the arguments for the specific position. What sound arguments are there for racism and slavery? What sound arguments are there for queer-phobia? What sound arguments are there for not following a vegan diet beyond "it tastes good"?
I'm very disappointed people are making fun of the kids, honestly. It's like people forgot how this is the exact same situation as when we were kids, with the older people making fun of us
I was hoping that the cycle would have been broken with the internet, but I guess not
It's just the next step in the evolution of language, humour, culture, and expression, it happened before, and it will happen again. Except it will be somewhat different this time with the internet allowing complex, instant, and global communication. Things will certainly change and develop much faster than they used to. This to me, however, is just exciting more than anything else, I love novelty and new stuff
