But it is generally one of those things Games Media doesn’t cover since protecting trans folk is a good way to get boycotted and EVERYONE loves retroarch for their emulation needs. And the outlets who DO tend to cover this kind of stuff are under near constant attacks from kiwi farms et al to begin with so…

Thanks for the links, took me a while to get to it. It’s really missing some actual investigative journalism into this because it’s a confusing mess.

I did not realize there were so many toxic people around emulators, of all things…

Do you have a link that explains how RetroArch is transphobic? I’m OotL.

Shit I just posted this without seeing your post. Deleting 🥲

I’ve always found the people who consider them high-brow TV arrogant, they’ve been a platform for crackpots forever. They love pseudoscientific bullshit… So if you have more than 4 brain cells you can dismiss quite a few documentaries. It’s sad because they produce and/or show a lot of good stuff.

It’s Switzerland. Not many thefts.

They’re fine on disused tracks to make the land more useful, which they’re doing in France.

AliExpress at least lets you buy close to the source of a lot of goods that you won’t find made elsewhere than China. Some stuff I find there exists from European makers, latest example, trim clips for cars: you can buy Restagraf but you need to live near a car body shop supplier that will be willing to sell you a few clips without insane markups.

Don’t worry the cork will still be filled with microplastics from the soil used to grow it to the adhesive used to bind it.

If they get fined often they’ll stop.

Can’t judges requisition anyone as a Marshal and send them to capture ICE thugs held in contempt? I don’t think that will happen but maybe it should.

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

They’re the same tracks in most places as far as I know.

Amtrak relies on other companies to run their trains, how much do they spend on infrastructure? Probably not as much as for roads, but the comparison isn’t great.

I wonder if it would even show if they didn’t count fuel prices in the index, because they’ve been low for months.

Yeah, roads are insanely expensive, we’d live in a very different world if they weren’t free to use for everyone in most countries and all the money that wouldn’t have ended up in road maintenance (because usage costs of heavy trucks wouldn’t make them cost effective) went to rail and shipping. And let’s not even count the insane networks of high speed roads that most rich countries built after 1945 that cost trillions of dollars globally.

LVMH still have a lot of workers in France. They can afford it with their insane margins and that way they can say stuff is made there (it doesn’t mean they actually care, some components are from cheaper countries).

Even in 2016 when I had mine done it had to be done abroad even though I lived in a country where any consenting adult can ask to be sterilised without legally mandated delays or any nanny state bullshit. I was poor otherwise I could have sued half the urologists in the country because they gave wrong reasons for refusing like me not having children and me being young.

One also scammed me by sending me to a psychiatrist buddy of his who just went on to spend 30 minutes insulting my intelligence for wanting to not bring children into this world. I’m glad I learned the lesson at that age that just because people are doctors it doesn’t mean they’re not disrespectful and/or stupid.

I go to Germany regularly, never been checked. Police go to the same supermarket to do their shopping but they don’t check the border. There’s thousands of roads they’d have to monitor 24/7. Even during COVID restrictions small roads were never monitored consistently.

I tried to find an electric shaver that plugs into the wall two years back. I gave up and got one that takes AA batteries (rechargeable ones may be expensive but still cheaper per use than proprietary bullshit)

The Swedish authorities have been known to mess with the reproductive rights of minorities, didn’t Denmark also meddle in extremely unethical bullshit? Is your comment an obvious reference I’m missing?
