i didn't make it, but my read on it was as a critique of male-gendered products go over the top injecting "masculinity" into their branding. they do mention the pink tax ("20% cheaper for no reason!"), i don't know that reactionaries would include something like that. Either way, I agree wholeheartedly that tampons for men who need them should be normalized.
it clicked pretty quickly when i finally went and looked it up online, and played a bit with a standalone browser version i found. the in game explanation just isn't very good.
Terrific advice in this thread, definitely start on flat ground (hell i started off practicing ollies in the grass) and wear helmet/pads (some people might give you shit about these; those people are idiots), BUT:
You absolutely will eat shit from time to time, and you have to accept this and be ready for it. I must have tumbled down the side of the bowl 50 times before I finally dropped in successfully, and it was worth every scrape and bruise.
Someone else said “learn to fall.” I’ll go one further and say if you have the means to do so then take a judo or parkour class - they will teach you how to minimize injury when you hit the ground.
Also, it’s not a terrible idea to walk an area before you skate it, and note large cracks/gaps in the sidewalk, scattered bits of gravel, etc. so it isn’t a suprise when/if you run over them.
it’s because (in the US at least) the “Skinhead” subculture has been colonized by neo-nazis to such an extent that they’re basically synonymous. also falling back on pedantries like “I’m not a nazi because I’m not a member of the german national socialist party” is how nazis try to deflect people calling them out.
edit: just realized you said it was /r/bald… very strange that people on /r/bald would start calling someone a nazi for having a shaved head. i think you got called a nazi for something else, and the content of this comment makes me think they were right.
e2: account is 10 days old, refers to women as “females”, and likes to whine about anti-white racism. tag appropriately
e3: a reddit account with the same username exists, but they’ve had a bot overwrite their comment history with gibberish. can’t find shit from them posted to /r/bald, so it looks like that’s just an out and out lie. why would you tell on yourself this hard?

I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn’t the best. The “touch screen” is...
right? this is the same type of brain-dead anti-intellectualist strawmanning that you see going around “mom groups” and antivaxx circles, just slightly tweaked. people are reading in their own nuanced criticisms (and those definitely need to be heard) but the meme itself is just “doctor bad”.
when the disagreement is about whether we should be allowed continue existing it’s a bit much to handwave like that, and fuck you very much for deigning to not only frame it like that but 'splain it to us like we’re children. get bent.
This is how I’m learning there’s an emulator for Switch games.
Funny thing is Switch was the first Nintendo device I’d even considered buying since GBC, but now that I know I can use my own hardware instead of paying through the nose for a locked-down Pi with a tiny screen and a shitty doll-size controller I’ll probably go that route instead. If I decide their branded shovelware is even worth playing in 2024 that is.
even in the deepest depths of my “bitter newly-deconverted atheist” phase i always found the bible and its history downright fascinating. mainline christians and critical atheists alike sell it so short.
my screen freaks out and flashes white and pink when I open/type in the gif thingy, in a way that makes me thankful i’m not photosensitive. it’s been this way for over a year.
thats like saying theyre wrong because words are spelled correctly yes the number is correct but the machine doesnt know what the hell it is, or what it’s for, or in any sense “understand” what it’s regurgitating to the user as evidenced by the fact that it listed it twice. “AI” doesn’t know anything, it just copy-pastes shit.
meanwhile i asked it to write a short simple hello world in a scripting language designed for children, and it spat out nothing but garbage. one of us is leaning on confirmation bias.
i was diagnosed early in childhood. my parents chose to believe it was fake and more than once actually pleaded with me to explain why beating me senseless every other day didn’t make the behavior stop.
shitty fearmongering propaganda outlet does shit thing to their website that will only drive away users thereby hampering their own ability to propagandize and fearmonger. no sorry i don’t see what’s wrong with this picture. never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.
