But my cats have all always smothered me with love, and that's something I've always loved about them! Maybe because I find cats very easy to communicate with, whereas with dogs I always feel kinda ackward.
First of all I’d like to apologize in advance for any insensitive statements I might make (I hope I don’t though), I’m trying my best not to and I was just curious :)...
If I've just met you, with cautious optimism. I don't feel able to let my guard down until I have a better sense of you as an ally (or not). Having said that, at least a slight majority of people in my friend group are cishet, so it's not like I'm looking for reasons not to like un-queer folks :P
Are you saying America is the only place where people care about trans rights? 'Cause I gotta say, as a Canadian and a trans person, I'm SO glad I was born on this side of the border. I imagine I'd feel the same if I were born in (most of) western or northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc. In my view, much of the US is absolutely full of vile bigotry towards trans folks, and only getting worse.
I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I’m currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it...
Love/hate relationship for me - much preferred earlier 2d versions of platformers like Mario, Donkey Kong and others (Mario 64 makes me nauseous). On the other hand, N64 games I do like - like GoldenEye (mostly for multiplayer), Mario Kart 64 (same) and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer all have a special place for me. So I guess overall I'm not a huge fan, not nearly as much as the NES, SNES, Game Boy, and later, the Wii, but the system does have some really good picks for me, just not the platformers I love.
Overall Nintendo is my favourite, but for that generation, at least the PlayStation still had a decent selection of 2D and 2.5D games.

Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
Going all the way back to the NES for me, and I'm getting the feeling I'm quite a bit older than most of the commenters here: Super Mario Bros. 3 - best game of all time. :)

Your example makes a disgusting comparison. The basic demand of nazis is to enforce discrimination on others. The basic demand of the queer rights movement is to not allow others to discriminate against us.
So, a better example would be - should a nazi designer be compelled to provide services to a Jewish client, or a queer one, a disabled one, a Roma one, etc? And the answer is YES.

"The key here is that no one involved in this mess seems to be good at their job, they all seem to be petty would be dictators (or an actual petty dictator in Putin's case)."
This is what happens in a government culture that leans so heavily on the importance of machismo and appearing strong, rather than actually being competent and promoting stability.
I've just rediscovered my childhood Gameboys, I grew up in the 90s and had an original, a color, an advance and an sp. My game collection has whittled down over the year to the usual suspects, Pokemons, Zelda's, Mario's and some other standards. But I want to dive into some games that 7 year old me would have brushed over. So...
