 Gonna keep on posting this.

Even if every single "libertarian/conservative/MAGA" response from trans people were all trans women, that would still be less than the percentage of both cis women and men with those political affiliations. This is a month old survey from a reputable source of people 18-34 (the demographic likely to be on 4chan). 

The "trans woman nazi phase" is only biased anecdote. It has nothing to back it up other than your transmisogyny.

 Idea 🧠 

➿ 🎵 #MixtapeDecember 🎵 ➿ 

We are coming into a season where there is a bunch of music that infiltrates every moment of our lives. To counteract that, we make mixtapes, music collections, and playlists to share around.

Rules:
1. There are no rules

Suggestions:
1. Choose a mix title, a description, and genre
2. Make it personal to get to know you
3. Put it in an accessible format (upload one music track to masto, put a zip on MEGA or archive, but if that is too complex then a youtube or spotify playlist is better than nothing
4. Don't critique others mixes without them requesting you do so
5. Share other people's mixes and use the hashtag #MixtapeDecember 
 You don't say...

"[...] overdose deaths in states with drug decriminalization laws, like Washington and Oregon, weren’t higher than those without the same policies. Researchers found fatal overdoses increased in multiple states, likely due to an influx of fentanyl."

New Research Finds No Link Between Measure 110 and Overdose Deaths

 if you are walking down the street trying to find a place to eat with a friend, then you see a food not bombs (free vegan meals in the park served by punks) in the park and a chic-fil-a across the street, a lot of people will choose the chic-fil-a every single time. We can try to convince them around things like health, ethics, community, etc, but it's just outside of the experience they know. Advocating for fundamentally changing food not bombs into a fast food joint isn't going to solve the problem. Fighting to reform the chic-fil-a into a better establishment is just silly.

Some people are going to choose the chic-fil-a, and that's OK for now. My longer term goal is to work on creating situations where the food not bombs might be something they become more comfortable with over time.

 @25909bc3 It depends on a few things: 

Do you have fun in Bethesda open world games? It is still very much that.

Do those mini-games sound fun? They are improved in this game as compared to past Bethesda games.

Are you OK with having lots of open barren worlds with hotspots of activity where quests pile up by people just chatting around you?

It seems like most people who like Bethesda games can have fun in the space. I think those expecting a full space sim might be disappointed though as it's more just lots of fast traveling between mini games and shooter sequences. 
 I'm updating my original thoughts. I had said at first it was a minecraft mini-game, space battle mini-game, and a shooter. However, I've played a bit more, and there are a bunch of smaller systems in the game:

* Lock picking puzzles
* Persuasion mini-game
* Career simulation
* Labor simulation
* Spaceship building mini-game
* Outpost base building mini-game
* Piracy mini-game with disabling ships, boarding ship, stealing ships, stealing cargo, handling contraband, etc

And there are probably others. So, the game becomes: how can you use these systems to build a character and experience of a Bethesda space game that fits your needs? It does feel like you have to create your own fun though. 
 if you boost this toot it is an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy
