  • “Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”

    My rpg club took the incdusivity road in the 2010, and is now a very inclusive/diverse place. We do have the blue haired enbies that riqht winger hate, and some old players who after acouple of beer starts complaining about RPG becoming woke (An inclusive place means they’re welcome too)

    We do have a couple of women only group and a point someone launched a men only table. While we had one of the old player complaining about the women only game, no blue haired enby complained about the men only game. So I have the impression that this whole women only space are OK, men only space aren’t is some bullshit.

    Note that, this worked becaused the gender specific game include people identifying as this gender, are the exception, and have a justification. It’s not I don’t like wo•man so I want only a gender but * I want a game exploring masculinity/feminity and therefore will limit the cast gender*


  • The level of “endogamy” within the rich and powerful is definitely slowing things up. We have strong evidence that these people are all at least acquaintance if not friends. It may not be great for your career to investigate/prosecute top level politicians and billionaires. Actually the positive of the documents release is that people see it.

    Then a big factor is that being invited to a party where children have been rape doesn’t prove you partake to the rapes or even have been aware of it.

    Finally, money means that you can afford a lawyer slowing things down by writing various requests to the court. Your lawyer will tell you to save your money and do the necessarà/efficient one. But for people with virtually infinite money, a team of lawyer can slow down the things







  • I get your point about full time school which may require 2-3 years without income (even though in some countries you may keep your unemployment rights). But often, especially for shorter degrees, there is options in evening classes, whith less hours (sometimes at the price of a longer time) some would even give you real degree. Moreover, if unemployed, sometimes a 6 month training can give you the basis to be hired, either in a manual job, or to fix a missing skill on your CV


  • There’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with,

    This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. (I even have a made in China Eastman guitar, for the price of the Taylor everybody has, I got a way better guitar, and that Taylor is damn great)

    Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba,it’s great for hobby crafting but China has moved toward high quality products.

    To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production
