this comment cured my russophobia i love my country o7

I have Warhammer brain so i thought of the golden throne but this works too

This is a good rundown on some of the issues

I hear there’s another neat website called google that lets you find the doi of a paper by its title

I hear sci hub is a pretty cool website that lets you find a paper by its doi number

i mean i pretty much was, op admitted to having brain worms around the term so i was trying to suggest re-examining/reclaiming it from that angle

the problem is pathologizing and shaming behavior that doesn’t actually harm anyone- it doesn’t matter what specific term you use to do it, hence why the term “agp” is in quotes.

i was trying to push back against the common rebuttal of “we’re nothing like those gross perverts Blanchard writes about” because it leaves room for the transphobes to move on to something else. it concedes too much! Imo people should be allowed to transition because they have a right to as a matter of bodily autonomy, not because they fit within some abstract standards of behavior.

Doesn’t this sort of post go in the dunk tank?

I’ve noticed this cat>dog pattern a lot, wonder if it’s a generational shift or just me picking different social circles from a few years ago :|

iirc in the blanchard lore bisexuality is explained by “meta attraction” I.e. you’re just attracted to the idea of yourself being more feminine by being with a man.

hot take but I think being “agp” is not bad or pathological any more than being trans is. Cis women get to enjoy feeling/being perceived as hot without it being a mental illness, why shouldn’t trans women

yes, someone should make a list of modern roguelikes without meta progression

I dislike how nowadays slay the spire and its ilk is what people assume for the term deck builder instead of multiplayer (usually offline) games like ascension or puzzle strike or dominion

several people I respect have recommended “everything was forever until it was no more” by Alexey yurchak.

I wouldn’t mind if we had ru or ukr language communities on here either.

what about neocon, does anyone self id as that :|

It’s quite possible they did share, but the Russians thought they had it handled. Afaik there was a mirror situation in 2013 with the Boston bombings, Russian intelligence knew about the terrorists and tipped off the CIA but was largely disregarded.

When writing about Russia they may also be replaced with double Zs

I’m Russian and I was amazed to find out that popcorn is ancient and Americans actually had special machines for making even in the 1910s. We never got that shit even after khrush’s initiative, and we love movies no less than americans. Popcorn became a thing there in the 90s

didn’t know this was a thing, will file away next to the obamacrons
