Hard agree.

I love this article on the topic: https://www.newsweek.com/trans-man-broken-men-1817169

Thoughts for non-toxic male role models:

  • Bernie Sanders
  • Zohran Mamdani (looks good so far)
  • Jean-Luc Picard
  • Tong from Raya and the Last Dragon (watched this with my daughter recently)
  • Mr. Rogers
  • Aragorn

It depends if you view the X-Y plane as the camera/viewport/screen or the ground. If X-Y is the ground, then Z is either up or down.

That makes more sense. Simple explanation of my error. Thank you.

Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is "to the left"?

I personally think that right-hand Z-up makes the most sense, but it makes sense to move to where most of the industry is going.

No, Bastard (Operators from Hell).

Hopefully that checks out, even though it's an old reference.

(Also, agree with the original expression of the negative systemic evaluation of the US policing system, even if I don't love the crude expression; and even though I'm contributing in a humourous satire of the expression)

This is the only response needed to any overtures from the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAbATWsvjTE

And sorry Democrats, until you get your Republican problem under control, we can't trust you either. In 2016 it looked like it might just be a flare-up, but the reappearance of symptoms indicates that the infection is deeper and ongoing.

Oh thank goodness. Coffee Stain is by far my current favourite publisher, and I was worried with them getting caught up in all this Embracer stuff.

Possible interpretation assuming positive intent: "Lol" in this case could mean "Oh shit, I didn't realize that, damn the internet sucks at attribution. It's funny that even I can get caught in it sometimes."

"Lol" doesn't have to be douchey if you don't want it to be.

(I acknowledge that I don't know @cm0002@lemmy.world and they could be a douche, but I choose to assume they're not until proven otherwise)

"Hurt people hurt people"? (potential explanaiton, not justification)

I can't remember who it was, but sometime in the last few years a VC or CEO wrote an article documenting their day and how they "worked 12 hours a day" or something like that. What I remember most is that their accounting of their work included their time at the gym, at least one meal, and something else that few if any employers would consider "working time".

I agree that sometimes C-suite execs do work long hours sometimes, and I'll differ from you in that sometimes those long hours are legitimate and valuable for a company. IMO, it's not the norm nor is it generally worth the premium that most companies pay for those hours.

I can only imagine the world where we got to keep Aaron instead. 😭

The worst thing is that looking at this case, at least from what I've seen, Blake Lively's side isn't as "pristine" as they first appeared. "They" might be right. I hope I don't end up siding with Candace Owens by the end of it. What frustrates me about both of these cases is that unless and until there is a public trial, nothing close to the truth will come out. But of course the tribalism has to start already.

In the Depp/Heard case, we got to see enough evidence that a relationship with either of them would have been problematic at best, abusive at worst. You can argue about who the worst was, but neither came away looking "clean," IMO.

Here, it's way too early to be "picking sides." 🙄
