Biden under pressure to act amid new fears of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Gaza
New fears? New to him? Not New to anyone paying attention.

Anon tries to be ethical
Nah, he wants to see if anon can be shamed about his lack of ethics.
If he is shameless, CEO behavior.
If he is ashamed, McDonald's behavior.
If you lie about it, then just par for the course and you can be a broker anywhere. Gotta feed out the line to find the narcissistic socios and not the stealthy ones.

So, on pronouns.
Hello! Resident Genderfluid person here. Usually you can just ask their name and that works to get them to give you the greeting they like. They look like a James, but give you the name Samantha? Probably safe to use she/her unless doing so has them ask you to use something else. IRL, at least.
Online? It's usually in a bio or they will tell you if it is functionally relevant. The only people I (anecdotally) have seen devolve into scree when accidentally misgendered were people trying to start something or acting for the sake of poisoning the well.
As far as using non conventional pronouns irl, you probably haven't heard it since it is genuinely dangerous to be outed in a lot of places. Look up gay/trans panic laws. It's dangerous to be queer in America with Conservatives having so much sway right now.

What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
I could probably do a better job running your country than the guy you elected since I know when to give the problem to someone more qualified.

PlayStation’s ‘Concord’ Did Not Break 700 Players On Steam On Launch Day

There has to be a point, first. It's just the old "go woke, go broke" nonsense. It's the recycled conservative pearl clutching that has always come in when society starts to include those 'nasty outsiders'. (Minorities.)
Let's say I entertain the possibility that there is a point.
->Baldur's Gate 3. . Very 'woke'. Amazing game.
->Concord Arguably 'woke'. Crappy game.
Let's go with a game that flopped and wasn't advertised as 'inclusive' Anthem.
Let's entertain this further to /really/ drive some nails into the coffin of this 'point'.
Celeste, a game heavy with queer tones to tell the story. Great game, very popular.
So, that is why most people are walking by this with just a down vote. It's all it really deserves, but I needed an easy win today. ^~^
Hope life treats you well, Peace

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?
Working from home is legitimately amazing. My bud oes not need to sit at your desk with your lame chair and keyboard. He has a much faster pc at home with the big clicky-clackies. Ten hour work day? He will bring that shizz down to 6-8 with the same productivity and can play games on the side.
I get that it doesn't work for everyone, especially those with task management issues, but out of the 40 people I know, 2 do better in an office.

Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
Well, I've had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they've deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing....so while I grew up conservative...yeah, I can't support that shit.
Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren't constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.
I'd like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America's history. They'll end up assassinated.

Do 10% of developers do *nothing*?
As a previous so-called 'ghost engineer', it took three people to replace me, and four months for damage control when I wasn't there to keep things in top shape. There was documentation to keep things running, but since I wrote that documentation and "my contributions weren't necessary foe the team's success" Well. Why leave them?

Late Stage Capitalism: Poverty is worse than anytime after slavery, wealthy people have never been wealthier, police brutality is at the highest since slavery, workers rights are trending back towards the second Industrial Revolution, politics recognizes corporations as people (thus robbing those who cannot compete with billions upon billions of dollars), civil rights are receding, basic necessities are becoming scarce, the environment itself is being poisoned for profit, etc.

This will actually work. After a look around her, sit back down and smile. "You must've had a great surgeon. I can't tell."

What was a profound moment that a video game caused you to experience, and why?
Undertale: You've progressed through most of the game. You didn't strike out at the monsters. You've done everything you could to avoid hurting those around you and yet strive for escape. Over and over You've been put up against a wall with your enemies striving to end you. You could fight back, you could react to this world of monsters and become like them, a monster.
But you didn't. You stand before a mirror in a house very similar to the one you were in at the start of the game. Looking into the mirror, you are affirmed.
"Despite everything. It's still you."
Despite everything I've gone through. Despite the hunger and gnawing to give in. To respond to the hatred and harm that has been inflicted on me with fury and bloodlust equal to the twisted delight others have taken in my suffering. I didn't give in. I didn't lose my joy in making others smile. I didn't give up my interests and the rare and disparate moments of joy.
Despite everything. It's still me. I'm still here. I'm not a monster.

Or democratically elect a left-leaning government, or give away land to your own poor citizens to develop instead of to a company.

What is the scariest thing there? Me: "People who wear shorts in winter..." 😂
As someone who lives in the "wouldn’t be that tough." That's big talk for someone who likely doesn't want to spend their last moments desperately clawing at the roof of a pine box.

Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?
I'm confused. You are here and engaging, but you think it is an echo chamber? Echo chambers aren't really conducive to outside opinions. I'm here and definitely not a liberal, I'm a humanitarian.
As long as you don't see any person to the left of you as a Liberal, you'll find a decently diverse pool here!
Stick around, smell the flowers.
