I’d guess “To whom it may concern” would be the most gender neutral/inclusive way to rephrase that.

I’m either too drunk for this or not drunk enough for this. Either way, you seem like a fun person to argue with.

Are we talking people who have had their gonads removed and don’t have any hormone replacement? Are we talking people born completely without any system for producing sex related hormones? Are we including around/ace people? I feel like there’s a lack of definition but I’m not 100% sure it matters.

Not being part of this group, I’m just going to take a shot in the dark and say it depends on the person. You don’t necessarily need to feel romantic attraction to a person to empathize with characters in a fictional story. You also don’t even need to empathize with the characters to find the concept interesting. Just like folks who do have sexual or romantic feelings, some will enjoy those types of stories and some won’t.

To be fair, most people who try to copy success fail.

That’s a souper idea!

Thoughts like this are likely how The Church of Euthanasia got started.

If you’ve got interest in deep simulation mechanics you can check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It’s FOSS and, last I checked, still has an active developer community.

What is your issue with DEI?

I mean some of them did, probably. It’s a diverse group, can’t really lump everyone together outside of being not straight and/or not cis.

Just got written up at work for essentially this.

Would I know it’s my last day? If so, skip work and take a nap. If not, work then take a nap.

Red lentil curry over spätzle (the only German noodles I know of) sounds like it would be amazing or at least worth trying.

I know it’s a bit off topic, but is PlanetSide 2 approachable for new players still? I loved the original and tried the sequel when it came out but didn’t get much of a chance to play it. I’d be interested in giving it a shot

I was looking into Rust a few months ago and noticed that most jobs listed seemed to be Web 3, crypto scams. It doesn’t seem to be in high demand, from the corporate side of things.

Honestly, the best you can do is try a bunch of stuff and research the company if you like it. It also really depends on how you define an ethical company. Even if you remove capitalism from it, if you look into deeply enough you’re going to find that every company has done something unethical or works with an unethical party within their supply chain.

Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

Honestly, I mostly use it to find local shows. I haven’t found a good replacement for finding that kind of thing.

Depending on when you played the UI changed to be more mouse friendly. Still a game that is keyboard driven but it does have solid mouse based controls as well.

Yes! That is the word I was blanking on!

An art project/bench outside of my high school the last day of senior year while waiting for friends to finish finals. I forget the term, but the bench was covered in small glass/ceramic pieces to form a pattern on it. Super uncomfortable, would not recommend
