I have no dog in this thread and I'm gonna leave after this, but holy :wub:, Chomsky is being called a "tankie" now? That just goes to show you the word has lost all its meaning. Chomsky is a...
You're really not subtle with how you telegraph your contempt for trans people, especially with how you used "lol" three times in this message responding to me. Point being that I'm correct and...
Firstly, being trans isn't related to your sexuality. The two are often contemplated together, as (for example) someone who grew up assuming they were a straight woman, but discovering they are...
I am not dismissing my own premise, the two coexist. I've seen it in my own friends and people I know.
Trans people feel internal pressure from dysphoria and external pressure from discrimination...
Again, they have a higher rate of suicide because everyone treats them like :wub:. Women have higher rates of depression than men. Black people have higher rates of depression than white people. Gay...
Right, so clearly the answer is to not be affirming and have even more suicidal teenagers who are upset that they can't transition in the first place.
As someone who was suicidal myself for a good portion of my childhood, I can vouch for exactly what you're talking about. A lot of the time I was afraid to talk about it because I feared that I would...
If you're saying "no" to your child asking if you will support and accept them as who they feel that they are, then all we're saying is, you'd better be prepared for your child to no longer trust you...
Returning to this thread after a few days and been reading some replies, wanted to address this point. Singular they has been in the English language since the days of Shakespeare at least. All...
Again, there is far more basis for trans identity than transracial identity. Transness is a concept which is hardly unique to our society or our point in history. Cultures across the world dating...
This is normal, and to be expected even. The same thing happened with left-handedness around the turn of the 1900s. When you design society to be catered to a certain demographic (cis people/the...
There are multiple explanations for why someone might change pronouns.
Firstly, and most simply, is that they are genderfluid. This is one of the larger categories of nonbinary. Some people feel...
These people really do only have one joke, don't they?
The fact of the matter, OP, is that the two are incomparable because one situation has an objective truth and the other doesn't. We all...
Completely ridiculous that people in the UK are being arrested for being anti-monarchist. That's what ACTUAL infringement on freedom of speech looks like, not right-wing grifters getting banned from...
I don't think you actually know any "purple hair SJW" types if you think they're middle aged prudes who dislike video games and fantasy settings. Speaking as someone who's in that crowd, the majority...
As an aside, I have never in my life seen an "SJW" protest anti-pedophile laws who didn't turn out to be some 4channer trying to make them look bad. The "wokest" of the "woke" people out there are...
"Aye sir. Finally managed to get away from those damned ambassadors for once," he said with a grin. "And it's been with the blessing of God that I've just so happened to run into my sons on the way...
Micum F. McIntyre III, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, accompanied by his two sons, arrive at the reception, having unfortunately not been able to see much of the inauguration thanks to the massive...

I'll take a colonelcy in the Belgian militia. (Sentences you never thought you'd hear yourself saying...)
For all of my memeing in the Discord, I think I would like to genuinely be in the Maine part of Massachusetts. I actually really like the idea of being an Acadian-American, there's a lot of...
Hey Kip, missed your posts by a month or two lol. Can definitely recommend the Warhammers as very good quality games, I also personally quite like Attila for its aesthetic and survival-oriented...
Something that should at least partially help in the diplomatic interactions is that major factions - that is, factions you can select and play - have large rectangular flags, while minor factions...
I've been playing Total War since 2007-2008, started with Rome 1 and Medieval 2, was around for the launch of Empire and Rome II, was disillusioned by the latter up through Warhammer 2 which brought...
I'm turning up a bit late to this, but I have to say, after taking a look at it ingame, I agree with the OP - the elite Persian archer animations for using their spears, look absolutely amazing, and...
Really? Warhammer 1 and 2 battles last a ton longer than ones from Attila, etc for me.
Thrones has very quick battle times, though. VERY quick. I think the longest non-siege battle I had was like...
Anyone holding out hope that a full-fledged War of the Roses mod will be made for ToB? It'd be a shame for such a massively detailed map of the British Isles to go to waste - think of the epic...
>kip and everyone else having reunions while I'm dicking around in third year of college
BOI IF U DONT
Kip, you bastard, it's good to hear from you again. Also, what's this about an IH discord?...
Hey everyone, loving the mod, I'm playing 7.2. Campaign is crashing for me, going into turn 25 on France's turn. I think it has to do with them capturing Budapest. Is there any way to scavenge my...
Marx and Engels did say that the state was a tool of class dominance, yes, and they did argue that the state would eventually wither away, yes. But they did not call for the destruction of the state...
TIL that people who hate capitalists and want to kill them en masse are acting on behalf of capitalists.
Let me tell you, I wish the rumors about Soros paying leftists to protest were true. I...
Neither of these are correct. A left-wing view is that the state is the tool of whoever wields it. It can be used for oppression, it can be used for liberation; it can be used for bad, or for good....
No, fascism is not left wing. A race-supremacist, ultra-nationalist, corporatist movement which espouses intent to commit genocide against lesser peoples, which mass-murders communists and...
Fascism is on the rise once more because neoliberalism is slowly suffocating under its own weight and the global left is still reeling from the fall of the world's first socialist state (not to...
I dunno if I'd be wholly active around here for that kind of thing, might pop one or two suggestions in. Been meaning to get back into worldbuilding actually :p
And yeah, @Dan, Ireland was a...
Happy new year, folks. Figured I'd let y'all know I'm alive and everything. God damn it's been a while since I've posted here. Seems it indeed has begun to wind down though - a shame, really. But we...
Um...how exactly do you set it to 16 bit? I see the option for 32 bit but no 16 :P
I'll try it and report my results, thank you!
I just installed the mod on my laptop and, strangely, the campaign map lags very badly. 15-20 fps. Battles run fine, and I can run M2TW and mods fine on the campaign map in those games.
