You’re allowed to marry (or just date, or fuck) whoever you want in the US, regardless of the gender of anyone involved. Meanwhile in Iran being gay carries the death penalty.

Birth control isn’t 100% effective and not all pregnancies are viable, nevermind desirable. Texas doesn’t even allow abortions in case of rape you fucking ghoul.

Because Bluesky is easier to use.

I suspect in this case the reason was to hide the name “Larian Studios” to get a click out of people who don’t know.

Merz is going to form a coalition with the SPD and/or the Greens. We’re going to get another 16 years of stagnation, not the fall of the republic.

Die komplett unnötige Gängelung. Außerdem würde ich drauf wetten, dass hier mehr Geld für Logistik, Beschaffung, etc. dieser Geldkarten ausgegeben als durch angeblich verhinderte “Zweckentfremdungen” eingespart wird.

Not if they’re immediately kicked out again because of damage to the home or because they’re intolerable and/or dangerous to the neighbours. And that’s not even accounting for the people who have more invisible mental health issues that still prevent them from holding a job and paying their rent/mortgage without permanent government assistance. If you want to fix homelessness you need to address mental health as well as housing. Neither is optional, it needs to be both.

Same as in more “normal” apartment buildings. You’ve got some noise, but it’s usually not an issue. Your only real concern are the units “bordering” yours, and maybe down the hallway. Plus, so many people around means that it’s inevitable that someone calls the cops if shit gets really out of hand.

For trash there’s a garbage room or a fenced area outside with large containers, and it’s collected several times a week. I’ve never figured out the exact schedule while I was living there, but the only time I’ve seen the trash literally overflow was right after Christmas. And it wasn’t disgusting, just packaging materials. Lots and lots of cardboard. Again, pretty much the same as in every other apartment building.

I’ve lived in a similar enough complex, and visited people living in others. It’s fine, not much different from any other apartment. They’re usually fairly well thought-out, better than a lot of older apartment buildings. Basically universally ceilings though (2.5m instead of the usual 3m), which can make it look cramped fairly fast if you’re not careful about furniture and decor.

The only real issue with the complex pictured here is light. I don’t think the people living in some of those towers are gonna get much natural daylight.

It’s someone having fun at the beach.

I do acknowledge that, but a society is made up of individuals. And none of those individuals is responsible for the crimes committed by their ancestors. Guilt is not passed down through generations. I do not believe that people living in former colonies are entitled to reparations because my ancestors committed crimes against their ancestors, even if those crimes still have repercussions in the current day.

Reparations for what? At least here in Germany there’s virtually (and I’m covering my bases here, I’m fairly sure that it’s literally nobody) nobody left who could be held even partially responsible for colonialism, and I am not willing to pay for crimes that I did not commit. Very few people are, I’d imagine.

Thanks for elaborating. That’s a much better description of what happened.

All parties other than the Nazi Party were banned. Wtf are you talking about?

All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone. Chill.

But since I’m back here already, if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn’t capable of. It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that’s not what it’s designed to be. It’s primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

Not always and not for everyone. If you want to output a decent quality image to a TV to play on the couch, then the Steam Deck isn’t exactly a great choice because it can’t really do that, it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution, nevermind a TV’s (either 1080p or increasingly often 4k). If all you play is older and/or indie games it might still work fine, but it’s not a one size fits all.

Even as someone who supports Israel, I’m not sure that emboldening wannabe dictator Bibi and his even more insane coalition partners further is good for Israel. Israel should be allowed to destroy the rapist horde that is Hamas. Israel should not be allowed to expand their illegal settlements (quite the opposite in fact) or to annex Gaza/the West Bank, but that’s exactly what Trump’s administration is gonna encourage.

More, and that’s assuming you can ever build momentum. I wasn’t defending the choice.

Because fixing something from the inside takes work and time. And it’s not like it wasn’t happening (as much as I’m not a fan of it because I actually am one of the evil liberals people here love to complain about), people like AOC or Tlaib would never have been prominent voices ~20 years ago. But generational change happens over a timespan of, and I feel that it’s very odd that I need to point this out, generations.
