SLaSZT, to lgbtq_plus in *Permanently deleted*
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

As a poly and bisexual trans person, I really don't believe that poly people are or should be part of the LGBT community. The vast majority of poly people are straight and cisgender and are either unaffected by or apathetic towards the attacks on the rights of LGBT people.

I think that including other groups like poly people and furries (which you didn't mention, but I have seen others advocate for) into the larger community "umbrella" isn't appropriate and, in my opinion, distracts from the real violence and oppression that many of us still face. People who are in sexual minority groups absolutely deserve support and respect but I don't think that the best way to do that is to call them LGBT.

SLaSZT, to worldnews in Sweden denies Polish official's claim its preschools have "masturbation rooms"
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

In newspapers, whenever someone is described as "controversial and outspoken," what is generally meant is "delusional and loudly ignorant."

SLaSZT, to worldnews in Hospitals have special protection under the rules of war. Why are they in the crosshairs in Gaza?
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Sorry, what? Newborn babies can't shoot a gun and can't take care of themselves if their homes are bombed and their parents die. Not to mention that half of Gaza is already under 18 and probably won't be having babies any time soon, given that hospitals are being targeted. What the fuck is wrong with you?

SLaSZT, to fuck_cars in EPA sides with tribes on petition to regulate toxic tire chemical that kills salmon
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Any premature prohibition on the use of 6PPD in tires would be detrimental to public safety and the national economy.

...What about the safety of my body? Or the health of children and animals? It's not as if tire waste dumped into the ocean just stays in the US, this could be affecting Canada and Central America too, as well as other places.

I don't understand how a manufacturer's consortium can basically be like, "we don't want to spend the money to find a new chemical that works similarly on short notice, so we're just going to lobby to poison you indefinitely."

SLaSZT, to technology in A Jury Will Decide If Google's App Store Is an Unjust Monopoly
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

It would be nice to have F-Droid and other app repos available on the Play Store. Or some other solution that puts alternative app sources on a more level playing field.

@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Or maybe I'm disabled, lol. Who knows? It's not like it's my life or anything. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SLaSZT, to random in Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, wants no-mance over romance, a new study finds
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

I'm sort of sick of seeing it when it's not necessary. For example, the sex scenes in Mad Men add to the narrative whereas the sex scenes in Grey's Anatomy don't.

I get why they do it, but it gives me the same feeling of ambivalence as an ad I've seen 100 times. I'm not the type of person to watch a show hoping to see some side boob or a naked hip bone.

It also hurts, and since I'm not very active I don't have the physical stamina to bike distances much longer than a couple of km. I biked to work for a short while when I lived closer to my job but now I can't.

@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

As someone who experiences pain while walking essentially any distance over 100m, I don't want to walk for my groceries. But it's nice to have a store nearby. I really want an e-bike, but since I need a car and am already forced to pay for one, I can't really afford to have both.

SLaSZT, to nottheonion in Michigan State University 'deeply sorry' for Hitler image displayed on video boards before football game
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Why was Hitler's birthplace considered a fun trivia question suitable for a large event? That's the real question I have here.

SLaSZT, to lgbtq_plus in Japan Court Rules Against Mandatory Transgender Sterilization
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Never underestimate the desire of imperial powers to exercise reproductive control over marginalized groups, I guess.

SLaSZT, to gaming in Alan Wake 2 will have free and "significant" DLC
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

I agree with your interpretation, but I really wish publishers would go back to calling additional levels or story content an "expansion" instead of DLC. It's a lot more clear and differentiates from other types of content like a character costume or a soundtrack.

SLaSZT, to abandonedporn in British phone box graveyard
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

So a TARDIS/scrap metal emporium for anyone with a pickup truck. Wonder how much theft goes on there.

SLaSZT, to startrek in ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds New Home At Netflix After Paramount+ Cancellation
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, their ads are a lot more aggressive than they used to be. I recently started watching SkyMed with my wife and it's nearly unbearable - and they want $5/month to get rid of them. At least cable didn't just play the same 6 ads over and over. :/

SLaSZT, (edited ) to gaming in Disney's CEO Is Reportedly Being Urged to Consider Turning Company Into a 'Gaming Giant' [and buying EA]
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

Disney owns Marvel and has since 2009 so I don't think they particularly care as they likely made the decision themselves.

Disney also owns a lot of things that have nothing to do with media or entertainment, so they can fail for several years straight without needing to change course. Money can buy success in many, many cases.
