'Anyone Who Doesn't Include Five Trans Characters...': Ori Studio CEO Defends Closure Comments
Yes it's because you don't put five trans characters in games. Not because you complain about wokeness and cancel culture in a way that is not so much a dog whistle as it is a fucking foghorn of rightwing nutjobbery.

JUST EJECT FASTER
Attach the ejector seat TO the helicopter blades so that they both eject and you get a cool propeller and can fly around and it can shoot lasers and stuff too.

Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons
shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn't a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.
It actually is a perfectly sensible move, and it doesn't "shut out" anyone. If anything, prioritizing twitter is what shuts users out. They linked to two-three alternatives. What's the argument here, exactly, from the other side?

Florida man caught illegally feeding wild alligator resists arrest: "He's a good boy... and he loves bagels."
Man's long and well documented history of anthropomorphizing and treating wild apex predators like friends and pets.

YSK the body of women is designed to produce children. They have breasts to feed kids. They also have powerful hormones that influence their mood and fertility.
Designed...?

I'm not going to engage with this poster specifically since they seem to be trolling, but if anyone else cares I did some research.
The image they posted is from a site called World Animal Foundation, and their information comes from only one source: dogsbite.org (incorrectly spelled Dog Bite org above).
dogsbite.org's primary concern is self-disclosed as being the gathering of data of fatal dog attacks in an effort to increase knowledge of what they consider to be dangerous breeds with what they say is the intention of advocating for victims.
https://www.dogsbite.org/dogsbite-about.php
This means the organization is not focused primarily on non-biased academic research. They're interested in proving a theory that they believe to be true, primarily, that pit bulls are dangerous and should be banned.
Their methodology involves primarily scanning a vast amount of media outlets for dog attacks with some supplemental coverage. Their identification methods seem to primarily be photos and social media. They do not mention DNA or professional veterinary verification.
https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatality-citations-data-collection.php
I would determine the organization's data is compromised by several forms of bias, including reporting bias, confirmation bias, publication bias, and observer bias. You can find a brief overview of biases in the link below.
https://casp-uk.net/news/different-types-of-research-bias/
Proper data collection should be handled by a third party and the research should also be reviewed by a third party.
An article published by JAVMA in 2000 investigates the issues of expensive DNA testing, and the importance of reliable identification.
Another article published in 2022 by the National Canine Research Council concluded that breed was not a good indicator for behavior.
**tldr; **
Maybe don't just blindly trust a single infographic from random strangers on the internet.

Fake Prices for Fake Frames - Gamers Nexus
This is one of the reasons people saying it's good that games require RTX now pissed me off. Yeah it's been a decade since the technology was released, but the GPU shortages, price gouging, and scalpers have also been going on for that long. It feels like ancient history when you could buy a midrange GPU for MSRP within a year of its release.

Functionally speaking the distinction is negligible. Users won't be able to download patches from the site, and new patch submissions won't be accepted.
