yes, but it is can be a larger than usual problem in some groups.
I know anime conventions in Minnesota struggled with that a lot in the 2000s. It took about half a decade of posters, campaigns, and a small group of people who were willing to be blunt and tell people “this sign is directed at you my dude”
It all did lead to improvements though! It is vastly better than it was back then.
Alternatively there was the MTG asscrack meme which did increase belt sales.
Still have mine, love the concave touchpads.
I feel like with my features acting manly is just performative and pointless because the way I’m perceived is already decided.
Like… yes and no. I also have a high pitched voice and a boyish face. (To the point where I’m looking forward to going grey) a lot of being mature is learning the cards you’re dealt with and playing them effectively. A high pitched voice can cut through with a pointed question. “Hey what’s your plan if the fire travels up the lighter fluid when you pour it on the open flame?”
You may not be able to tower over someone and glower, but a polite grin and fearless stare can give someone pause even if they’re taller.
“Manly” can really steer people down the wrong path sometimes. You can be manly in a pink polo. You can be manly with a polite nod. There are a LOT of very different men out there, and being kind, courageous, and interesting mean far more to most people than “manly”.
I have been voting in Minnesota since 2009, I have never been called for jury duty.
Meanwhile I have a coworker who has been called 5 times in the same time span.
I do not understand how this is possible.
Hero’s Hour is a fun Hero’s of might and magic crossed with an auto battler
Dwarf Fortress is the worlds first and most in depth colony sim their motto is “losing is fun”
Crawl is really fun 4 player pvp local co-op dungeon crawler
YOMI hustle is an absolutely bizarre turn based 1 on 1 fighting game
7 days a stranger will bring you down a rabbit hole of point and click horror mystery
Due Process is a very fascinating take on team based shooters
FTL is a rougelike space battler
Into the Breach is a fun strategy battler with mechs and knockback mechanics
Rift Wizard topdown rougelike wizard sim
Noita sidescrolling rougelike wizard sim where every pixel is simulated gets real nuts
And yet something tells me that if someone followed him around with a camera crew 24/7 he would be deeply concerned.
If anything a faceless invisible entity following you should be even more horrifying.
… I’m kinda ashamed I noticed they made Pluto a planet before the fact that they made the earth flat…
This is why I propose we just make guy gender neutral. I feel like it’s already half way there.
I feel like the proper response by the genie should be “yes, you’re right, what’s your first wish?”
I wasn’t saying you should. It’s just a thing I’ve noticed and that reviewers never mention.
I bet the big difference is time. When do you play vs the journalist?
8pm central time vs 8am central time, vs 3am central time probably bring in very different people.
Kinda like how a bar or pub shifts during a day.
I think so.
How high the priority should be is a debate worth having, but space has many ways to wipe out a planet. Having two planets, having a permanent space station, could go a long way to increasing survivability.
Not only that, building in a vacuum, building in zero G, even building things under great pressure, all can allow us to build new materials with brand new properties.
Also, being able to sustain a small group of people somewhere completely contained an inhospitable can be utilized on earth to feed people at home, or recycle water at home.
The only argument I’ve ever heard about the draft that actually made me consider it was that if everyone was in the army at some point, we would look ar wars very differently.
The number one thing people hated about Vietnam was the draft. The biggest thing that mobilized the American people to protest the war was the draft. Not the death of Americans, but the death of “my Americans”.
It might make us a LOT less warlike…
How has this not been turned into a sketch on SNL?
You gotta use that energy to push people in the primary
Thought this was a new type of drone?
Nope, Chuck Testa
Well, first off the pool is lower because you can’t just grab some rando off the street. The whole job is protecting the hen house and you absolutely can NOT put a fox in that position. Reputation, etc:
You also can’t put someone who can be turned into a fox into the position. If you’re protecting something that could potentially be worth billions stolen, you don’t want to pay starvation wages where the instability would make the risk of betrayal seem lower.
If the person you trust now also has to move, then you also have to pay extra for that.
Every movie makes the security guard a big guy falling asleep in front of an array of monitors but that’s not the case if the thing you’re protecting is worth a LOT.
You know, if it meant that more time would be spent on quality, or reducing crunch, I’d be ok with this.
But ubisoft did it, so it’s because they wanna cut the department 20% and give that profit to the shareholders. So no.
That’s kinda why I liked DC20 reducing it all to strength, dexterity, intelligence, charisma. Attacking uses whatever is the highest Stat.
Just, super simple and let’s you make a wider variety of characters.
I think it’s the height that’s the real problem.
Closer to the poles you are the more important it is.
