They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
I'm looking at you, spelunkers.

The best writers can do is take creative control from her and add things that will show her up, like what they did in the latest videogame, and add transgender characters and actors.

That's not what the decision said, but JK and their ilk are trying to push it as that.

Their decision is limited to what they believe was meant in the Equality Act 2010. It's just them indicating what a law meant originally.
A law that was written by people who didn't know better.
Now we know better, as the science is undeniable, but what we know now doesn't change what the law meant. That's why what the UK needs to do now is change the law to properly match science.

Rowling and other flavors of transfobes want to muddle the waters and act as if everything was set in stone, but it isn't.
There have been amendments to the Equality act before, the latest in in 2023 and 2024, they can do more.

Do not play into their game. Instead, push for change.

I can't believe he lasted that long. This guy needs help.

It's not a dichotomy. Capitalism inevitably leads to oligarchy, and oligarchies are just authoritarianism rich people being the ones opressing the people. Both China and Russia ended up as oligarchies too, even though they started claiming to be 'communist'.

A way to prevent authoritarianism is the division of powers, but that only works until the enemies of the people work together to take over all divided powers.

The only system that has proven to work in the public's best interest so far is social democracy. But even that is hanging by a thread, as it requires higher levels of public education and better control over corruption to maintain.

Daycare is free where I live. It has to be. You can't expect people to pay for public services themselves; that's done with taxes. Corporations can't have customers or employees without people, and to get people to make more people, you have to make it easier for them. So what makes the most sense is cutting corporation porfits, which they don't need past a limit if they aren't investing in things that will benefit the public. So if a corporation isn't doing anything good, raise their taxes, use them to pay for daycare.

Yeah. All GW1 pretty much needs at this point is just the Beyond chapter of Elona and 2 professions unique to Prophecies, one heavy armor, one medium armor. And having Prophecies and Factions weapon drops updated to the new system used in Nightfall and EotN, with inscriptions and more upgrades, and making the upgrades have fixed stats like armor upgrades, so they can get their own trader NPC.
And then rig the trader NPCs to always have supllies at a premium cost so GW1's economy does not depend on bots to stay supplied.

There's no way we'll ever see new professions , and I doubt they'll ever update the weapon drops. But they have already done some new quests. So there's still a bit of hope for "Rise of Joko".

It could use some more cat.

Oh, no! Look at the waste exit port! Someone inverted the polarity!

Yeah. Tankies always forget you can't have socialism without democracy, and either no government or a government that is strictly from the bottom up, and fascists gladly play along with that facade as it works in their interests.

"Authoritarian communism" is an oxymoron.

And not an "emphasis" kind of oxymoron like "bittersweet" or "impossible solution", or a "poetic" kind like "living dead".
An "absolutely impossible" kind of oxymoron. like "married bachelor" or "squared circle".

Apparently, deboning your meat before eating it is not "manly". You have to chew the bones, like an "alpha wolf" or something.

It's the other way around.

X is a "if you build it, they will come" situation. They were already around, they were just too cowardly to come out of the woodwork into the open.
