  • I think there’s probably no such thing as womens problems or mens problems. Only human problems that bounce around and affect everyone.

    To your point, yes absolutely these issues affect us all, because we’re all connected as humans. But you might want to reconsider how you phrase that. This has big “I don’t see color” energy.

    Both men and women absolutely have unique and specific issues that need recognition if we are to meaningfully address them.



  • Please reconsider the brother in christ phrase.

    It’s problematic, because even if you don’t mean anything by it, it still normalizes and perpetuates christianity at a time when christian nationalism and Dominionism are on the rise and have taken over the US government. It also assumes the person you are talking to is also christian. Third, it reinforces patriarchy by assuming the person you are talking to is male.

    I have no idea how it caught on and become popular, but I’m hoping that with a little self-reflection, we can all move away from it.




  • Years ago, I once started a new warehouse job, and on day 4, as I was moving inventory on a pallet jack, I see a guy in a forklift zipping by…wearing headphones…plugged into an ipod.

    Everyone just accepted this. I didn’t, and I quit at the end of my shift, and told them why. I wasn’t about to get killed by someone driving a forklift who can’t hear their surroundings. Maybe I overreacted, but with how common forklift accidents are, I wasn’t taking the chance.



  • As someone who has both the Switch 2 and the Switch 1 OLED, I appreciate the performance boost that some of my games get with the 2, but I miss my OLED after giving it to my partner. I have even borrowed it a few times for handheld play because of the better screen and longer battery life.

    Ultimately it’s up to you and how badly you want to play Switch 2 exclusives right now. Devs are going to keep making Switch 1 compatible games for years, especially given current global economic trends and the scaling back of larger game dev studios.

    Personally, I would wait for Nintendo to make a Switch 2 with a better display. The display on mine is full of ghosting and once you notice it, you can’t un-see it and it’s disappointing.


  • My mind has been changed by comments on here.

    People can be quite informative, patient, and empathetic. They can write eloquently and persuasively. I’m glad for those people who have helped me change my mind on topics where my view was wrong because of my ignorance or flawed logic.

    But in all honesty, I probably would have been better served by in-person public discourse on those topics instead of spending my time reading a bunch of takes from strangers on the internet. In person, you (usually) know everyone participating is real. You can gauge their sincerity by their tone & inflection, facial cues, and body language.

    While my mind has been changed by people on here commenting, I still would much rather step away from the internet and talk to people face to face about the topics that effect us the most.
