It’s much worse than people seem to think these days, especially considering the disabled. I don’t know any words that convey how much I loathe nazis and people who have any sympathy for them

Parents were told that their children were being sent to “Special Sections”, where they would receive improved treatment.[59] The children sent to these centres were kept for “assessment” for a few weeks and then killed by injection of toxic chemicals, typically phenol; their deaths were recorded as “pneumonia”.

Honestly through all these insane headlines about USA for the past few months, it sounds like you’re getting closer and closer to a point where it’s just important to get out in more literal sense, and think how to arrange your life again when you are on the otherside of the border. If the other options are concentration camps or straight up being shot by fascists…

a lot of gamers categorically refuse to buy a game in early access and wait for the 1.0 release for the “full experience”

I refuse to buy early access games just because if they sell enough, the devs won’t complete the game and it’ll be stuck in the “10 years in development” -phase

What should she do?

Obviously as she promised, it doesn’t matter what happens after that. Promises are made to be kept, don’t make them unless you keep them. Only good reasons I can think of for breaking a promise would be something like if you were lied to when making that promise, or saving lives or maybe prevent nature destruction etc. Old dude changing his mind isn’t a proper reason; if he feels like he was young and stupid back then, that’s his problem

The biggest group affected are most likely ciswomen, since people love to control how women look and act, and there’s just way, way less transwomen in the toilets. Meaning the most commonly happening effect of these crazy bathroom laws is basically punishing ciswomen for not looking feminine enough

Everything about that is just fucking awful. And who even makes a toilet with no stalls?! Do men not need to shit? Wtf

Sure the pieces of land don’t matter to but the ukrainians, but if Putin gains anything it’ll signal to his own that he won and that attacking works. At this point any security guarantees mean basically nothing since the west has shown such a weak response, and Putin will just challenge the promises the moment he has the opportunity. Seeing how USA and western Europe still don’t seem to fully understand the situation, it’s easy to believe Ukraine can’t trust any guarantees given unless it’s something like straight up joining NATO, which isn’t on the table.

If Putin gains parts of Ukraine, the war will not end. It means he succeeded in the war; that the west is weak. Which in turn means the war will “end” as in Russia will just regroup and build it’s war resources for a while - maybe some years, maybe more, maybe less - and then attack somewhere again. Why would they stop? Russian imperialism is not based on logic or reason; it was insane to attack Ukraine in the first place.

It is pointless to expect Putin to be somehow reasonable or actively want to stop warring. It is also completely pointless to believe whatever he or his lackeys say, they’ve lied from every step on the way and will continue to do so for their own benefit. It’s very likely the war will continue whatever the result in Ukraine is anyway, it can only be postponed now that Russia has again started on this damned path. If Putin gains land, they won and it’ll continue; if they don’t gain anything, Putin needs to attack again to prove it wasn’t a loss. I cannot believe people still seem to think you can somehow just reason with Russia

I’d say one problem is also that the characters being “race swapped” are typically the less-important sidekicks or something. “Sure, we can put more color in there - but they can’t be too important as characters” seems somehow almost more racist than just following the original stories. Why not swap the main characters if they’re going to change things? I don’t usually mind, if they put in any effort sometimes the changes improve the story and even the characters themselves.

(And that was a rhetorical question, I know they won’t because… racism usually)

Insult to injury. Soothes the sense of justice to imagine the humiliation and anger nazis could have felt when taken to the gallows

I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn’t really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for
