I suppose so, but I believe they always make sure not a single trace of Earth life is left on the equipement they sent to Mars, for obvious reasons. So they already control for that.
Besides looking pretty messy, I’m not sure this does any harm.
I’m glad the article mentions that in this case, it really doesn’t matter; like, there seems to be nothing to ‘pollute’ on Mars (also 7 tonnes is not much at all). Bit of a strange headline to me.
I’ve given up personally. I don’t know if it’s life circumstances or me not being as good at heart as I’d hope, but I’ve resigned myself and I’m just trying to learn to cope with the loneliness. At some point it’s fair to call it quits and start being realistic.
That’s just me ranting though, this isn’t directed at you, and I wish you the best of luck.
Oh I know all about that podcast trust me, it doesn’t change my opinion about Rowling in the slightest, and it’s far from being a good way to “understand this affair”.
If you’re genuinely curious, I highly recommend ContraPoint’s video about that very podcast, as well as her other video about Rowling.
Yeah I’m not gonna waste more time trying to change a transphobe’s mind, peace
It’s never been about proving trans and cis folks of the same gender are “identical”, no one is arguing that, obviously there are some physical, biological differences. Differences that trans folks are painfully aware of, and that take a lot of time and effort to mitigate for many them to feel like themselves.
It’s just about being accepted as, being seen, and talked to as the gender of your choosing.
People like Rowling who argue against the existence or the rights of trans folks overwhelmingly do so out of ignorance, fear, or simply malice. It’s not a philosophical question, it’s not up for debate whether trans people “exist”, if you don’t believe in them then you’re just objectively, provably, scientifically wrong.
And if you agree they exist and still want to make their lives miserable, then you’re just an asshole.
Very boring answer but JK Rowling.
Her books already had some questionable shit in them but witnessing that shockingly venomous transphobia really recontextualizes everything. I used to re read the Harry Potter saga every few years, but never again now, this whole, very nostalgic for me franchise is forever ruined now.
Chuggaconroy has been around forever yet he’s only gotten better with time, despite only doing let’s plays.
There’s a lot of great channels though, it depends what you’re looking for.
One of the downsides is that you’ll be playing the Nintendo Switch.
Switch emulators are so good by now, the experience is nearly always better on PC. My Switch is one of the first models too but now that I don’t play online Smash anymore, I really don’t see what use I could have of a homebrewed console.
I still use Reddit a bit (on desktop only), mostly to check on some niche communities that aren’t really on the Fediverse yet, but Kbin has been very nice also. It’s nice and chill, and overall a lot less fascist/bigot friendly, which is refreshing.
Nice Kingdom Come Deliverance profile pic btw
I haven’t seen anything of Twitter in a while
It does play livestreams, yes.
I’ve noticed that too, I just switch to Freetube when it happens.
Simply disgusting, but it’s business as usual for Google.
I wouldn’t use Twitter even if it was the one paying ME
I can’t see the problem.
They’re definitely gonna go after the wayback machine next, because what use is there in controlling social media and deleting what bothers them, if there’s freely accessible records of it somewhere else?
The archive needs to be protected at all costs.
Or you could just say “cis woman”
Refering to women as “females” is always a massive red flag for me, it really gets under my skin.
US weapons Trump would provide, most likely.
