It's a term for a third gender used by some Native Americans :)

Baldur's Gate 3 has ruined Starfield for me
Reply in thread
The author's arguing that BG3 makes Starfield look like a shallow RPG by comparison. Their broader point is that Starfield is behind the times compared to most RPGs released in the last couple decades, even compared to something like Fallout 3.

Sorry man, but that's not racism. That's equity. Some kinds of people need certain kinds of privileges, because they've been disenfranchised by a racist system for years and years and years. Giving them a leg up is a reasonable and empathetic thing to do.

Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM
Reply in thread
I get the sentiment. But to me personally, "redundancy" is pretty clear and doesn't mask the pain that comes with being let go. There's also generally a difference between being "fired" and being "made redundant". Redundancy suggests that their job doesn't need to be done anymore b/c of a restructure, bankruptcy, merger, and the company needs to meet certain obligations for that redundancy not to be considered an "unfair dismissal".

Generally when Indigenous communities go dry, it's to protect members of the community from abusing alcohol. There's a greater risk of alcohol abuse in these communities because of a whole history of disenfranchisement, insecure housing, generational trauma, stuff like that. So personally I wouldn't say an economic argument is right here. There may be demand for alcohol, but if that demand leads to alcohol abuse and all the terrible shit that brings, and many members of the community don't want alcohol around for those reasons, then it's better not to build a Dan Murphy.

You made me realise how similar the demi and ace flags are... I guess it makes sense since demisexuality is a type of asexuality.

The Tech Industry Doesn’t Understand Consent - Dhole Moments
Reply in thread
Nowhere in the article does the author pin blame on individual employees. "Tech industry" obviously refers to corporations, not individual contributors. The title isn't clickbait.

We always imagine that if humans had tails they'd be furry tails but they'd actually probably be hairless like our bodies
Don't tell the furries

I think she's right, it's a fair and practical move. Not sure if I'd say that all No campaigns for the Uluru Statement use Trump-style politics like she says, but the Fair Australia one is certainly weak and uses the "pointing out racism creates division" thing that anti-CRT Americans like to use so much.

Right, I see what you mean, so there'd be a power imbalance there. From my perspective, if drivers buddy-buddied with each other to that degree, customers would just flock back to Uber and the business would tank pretty fast. It would be more beneficial for the drivers to treat their customers well.

Races of people exist in our society. Observing that, or mentioning race in any contents, isn't racism. I totally agree though -- all Australians should be treated equally. Unfortunately, since colonisation, Indigenous people have not been treated as equal to the settlers. In fact, they've been treated like shit. The system they live under is incentivised to treat them like shit, because it gives other people money and power and land. Crafting special solutions for them, based on their race in a racist system, their culture, their individual needs -- that's the only effective way to help. Every other way is blind. This goes for any group of people. We can give separate, necessary privileges to both Indigenous and Chinese people. It's not a zero sum game.

For sure. That's just how articles have to be titled to get clicks unfortunately. It can be annoying, but it helps keep journalism alive, so you take the good with the bad.
