  • the right to abortion is just a subset of bodily autonomy: noone should be able to make decisions or take actions upon your body except you/with your consent.

    you can survive with half a liver, and livers regenerate. you can also donate significant amounts of your blood, and even more plasma, without ill effect. these things are lifesaving, but despite that, you cannot be forced to do so against your will.

    abortion is no different. just because it can’t survive without you doesn’t mean it gets priority over your own bodily autonomy.






  • I’m from NZ. I was very surprised to learn that our gun laws were quite lax up until the relatively recent mosque shooting in Christchurch - the assault-style weapon the shooter used was quite legal, including the special modifications he had made to make it better for killing people.

    in the wake of that tragedy, things have gotten a lot stricter, though I’m afraid I can’t provide specifics - while I love guns, my collections are confined to the virtual, and I really have no interest in owning one IRL.

    “i love my pet so much, I want them to be with me forever, bereft of everything I loved about them”

    I’ve never understood taxidermy. I keep some pictures of one of my dead cats in the wall/as a wallpaper on my phone, and it still is sometimes upsetting to see him and remember that he’s gone.





  • I used to hate early access - why should we pay to test an unfinished game, when that’s an actual job that people get paid to do?

    but I’ve come to recognise that it’s am important avenue for funding for many developers, and tbh, I don’t think any of the early access games I’ve played have felt “incomplete” - perhaps lacking polish, perhaps in need of more content, but that’s true of many full releases, and early access not only gets you these games at a reduced price, it effectively guarantees a large amount of free DLC as the game gets made more complete.

    my only real complaint now is sometimes I like early access features which end up getting cut from the finished game.



  • imo people should be vocal. perhaps not angry; or, be angry with the publisher, who presumably pushed am unrealistic timeline/release of an unfinished product.

    if people just accept it, because hey, they did warn us 🤷, that just sends the message that this is a ploy that can pay off.

    we need to make it severely impact sales so that a) paradox feeds the developer the money needed to bring it up to spec, and b) thinks twice about doing it again.
