I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me

Bethesda isn’t the one remaking it

Yeah, it makes me physically ill to imagine that for myself.

I feel a bit more sympathy for Grimes than St. Clair since she seemed to actually want to be with this man, as a ‘real’ family at one point and seems to feel quite desperate about how her son is being manipulated now that that hasn’t worked out. Was she being naive? Probably, but none of us can see the future. Much less imagine that someone we love enough to date and have kids with would do something so deranged as hold them hostage as meat shields.

Anyone who volunteers after seeing how he treats his baby mamas and children, though? They get no sympathy from me, personally. Sorry for the kids, tho

Do you know that there’s evidence supporting the idea that when you have a baby, that baby’s DNA hangs out in your body for decades (if not forever, more studies needed on that point)? I wouldn’t want any amount of Elon Musk’s DNA just like…hanging out in me forever. Ew.

Source: an excellent book called Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Came out in 2024 and does a great job of compiling lots of the latest research on pregnant bodies. It’s amazing how much is still missing and we need to learn still about half the population of the world.

Easy to say when you’ve got no skin (or uterus) in the game. Just look at how Grimes and St. Clair and their children are being treated. Both women are terrible right wing scum and had it coming, but I wouldn’t wish someone’s family/babies being manipulated and kept from them by a guy with more money than god on anyone.

Imagine your only recourse for restoring your parental rights being going to court against a guy who can afford to keep the cases going indefinitely. That is the stuff of nightmares.

We need to help ourselves.

Knowing these fucks, they’d still try and claim that she was really a secret trans woman when she beat them, just like with Imane Khelif

I would be so embarrassed to be that guy’s mom

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Goddamn zing holy shit

I’m unzipped and waiting, bud

Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil ‘gotcha’ comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you’ve in fact, done nothing).

Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they’re being transgressive. You’re not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.

Dumbed* down (sorry ☹️)

I mean, I did say that it depends on the product. And based on the things you listed, maybe you’re not the demographic that seeks out the quality items that the US does make? Like hiking boots, for instance: several companies based in the US make incredible boots. Textiles in general as well: usually when a garment is made in the US, it’s a really good quality item.

I also have a good set of screwdrivers made in the US that I use often to restore sewing machines. Cutlery and dishes as well.

These are things just off the top of my head 🤷‍♀️

Is that so? In my experience (obviously it depends on the company) American made is, like, one of the gold standards? I’ve never had issue with American made things 🤷‍♀️

Again, I’m sure it depends on the product, and I may just have bias because I meticulously research just about everything before I buy, so I may just be buying the really good US made stuff, and most other things are crap, idk. Just like Germany and Japan have things that they really excel in; Australia too, etc.

Kinda the point of the comment

It’s a dog whistle for punishing black and brown people, like everything else

Is this related to the doomsday iceberg that recently broke free? Basically the giant cork holding back the entire ice sheet?

I remember how weird it was getting in the Elden Ring community after the Miquella teaser image was released, but before we had any other info at all, and that was only a gap of about a year, I think lmao. I can’t imagine what Silksong forums look like

Having been here since July of last year, there definitely are. The demographics skew towards older tech bro types, in my experience.
