If you possess a functional set of male gonads, now would be a good time to seek medical sterilization.
We cannot allow the burden of the loss of bodily autonomy to fall entirely on a single sex.
Wanting "consequences" for other people's sex lives is weird, NGL.
(Incidentally, aborting an unintended pregnancy IS taking responsibility. Imposing life without careful deliberation and intention is both irresponsible and immoral for all parties concerned.)
ALT Weird theocrat Greg Price tweeting, "Pete Buttigieg says that men are freer when abortion is legal because men can have consequence free sex and simply kill their unborn babies instead of taking responsibility for them. But J.D. Vance is weird or something."
You know, I probably would have enjoyed being a father. Probably would have been pretty good at it too.
But I couldn't conscience bringing a child into being.
I think one of the biggest sources of evil in the world is the notion that somehow a stranger’s life is less valuable than that of the familiar.

This paragraph goes so hard.
I wrote about how I’m personally going to force game companies to put in all the stuff you hate.

Maybe this is my neurodivergence, but I don’t understand people who operate in bad faith. I mean, I understand they exist and know that they’d try to subvert others with bad faith, I just can’t empathize with where they’re coming from.
“Splinters”a poem:
Memories, sharp and jagged
In the mind they are snagged
They are pain
They are rage
They remain
They engage
They will pester
As they fester
Pinch them out
What’s this about
They won’t dislodge
I cannot dodge
That which is embedded
Has my stability shredded.
The more I think about it, the more I come to believe that the impulse to value one's own child's life above that of someone else's child's life is the root of so, so much evil.
I reflexively get irate when someone talks about what they'd do to "protect" their own kid against some imagined threat.
Like that isn't part of the same spectrum of thought that leads to bombing someone distant stranger's kids into oblivion for the same reason.

So in a few years when there’s a massive gap in the industry from all the games that were never made by the people who got laid off at the studios that were shuttered, who’s going to make your games? Where’s “shareholder value” going to come from when you’ve cut to the bone?

Woke up at 2:30 AM. Resigned myself to not getting back to sleep at 3:00 AM. Got up. Now trying to get some work done.
The usual suspects are butthurt that there are female characters in what they had ASSUMED to be an all-male faction. It's a dumb assumption and they're upset for dumb reasons.
And this?
This is how corporate representatives say "Die mad about it." :)
I am proud to announce that I have accepted an offer to be a Senior QA Engineer at @EpicGames working on the @UnrealEngine. I start on the twenty-second.
No joke, as a kid I literally wanted to be conscripted into a total institution where I'd have the humanity beaten out of me to turn me into a being of pure function, or die in the process of that transformation.
My parents and teachers didn't seem very keen on that idea.
It took me years, but I beat all 120 levels as a kid. I loved this game.

It's the right thing to do.
