first well known work after 1970

The Martian Chronicles was published in 1950, Fahrenheit 453 in 1953

I had the same experience with Hedgewars, but I can’t really say why it doesn’t click like Worms for me.

Battle for Wesnoth - a turn based tactics game in a fantasy setting. It’s also available on Steam and itch.io. Coincidentally, version 1.18.0 was released yesterday.

Thanks!

“women” feels weird for a lot of English speakers

Why does it feel weird? (not a native speaker here)

Obligatory shoutout to the podcast “If books could kill”.

And fight for political change.

The brochure.

Well, maybe it is NIMBY? I think it’s an understandable reflex: things change, there’s a some uncertainty how the neighborhood will be affected, the drawbacks are visible from the start but the benefits are somewhat abstract and in the future. So the first reaction may well be “I do not want that”. But you’re doing the important next step: reflecting this reaction and questioning what exactly it is that disturbs you and whether this is in line with your values/politics/ethics. Maybe this isn’t a great project. But if all you have is some vague feeling then maybe that’s just the discomfort of change and the project(s) will turn out alright?

I think a lot depends on the actual architecture and the surroundings. I’ve lived in several 4-6 buildings and they were really different - in terms of contact with other neighbors, cleanliness, general vibe and quality of life, … I prefer them because resource consumption for single family houses is insane (at least with the types of buildings in Germany) and they allow for more space to be used for other things, like green spaces, while still keeping everything walkable.

Are you complaining about that?

Unfortunately there is no rest - his memorial was vandalized after one day.

Or a top artist having ~twice as many albums explains having ~twice as my awards as some other top artist.

Lady Gaga has 35 awards? The f*** like I can sing tons of her songs.

Lady Gaga has also put out five studio albums, Taylor Swift ten.

Pro tip: you can actually get organized in a union and strike just to get more money, no need for AI or getting fired. CEOs hate this trick!

I was saying we could create the missing liberal spaces ourselves. ThePantser said we couldn’t because we’re being called out as sexist when we do that. The only example for that being “boy scouts” which I suppose means BSA, an organization with massive sexual abuse and bullying problems (according to Wikipedia). No idea how they are supposed to be “liberal”.

Whether the girl scouts accept other genders or not has no relevance for that argument. And if it would be fair for them to do that is a completely different discussion because girls are hit by sexism in a completely different way than boys.

the use of the term “gender identity” there implies it’s more for trans people

No, it doesn’t.

if there was a recurring women-only Minecraft party or something and there was never one for men, I’d be upset about that.

And again you are completely ignoring any arguments about why these spaces might make sense.

I don’t think so.

What are you trying to say? I don’t know that much about Scouting in the U.S. At least in Germany we didn’t have this gender divide in scouting, but as GSUSA were founded after the BSA I suspect that their goal was to provide scouting for girls because they couldn’t join BSA.

As soon as men try to organize and speak out we get called sexist.

That’s simply not true. We have at least one counselling centre in our city that is “boys/young men only” and several “men only” self help groups. I’ve never heard them being called sexist, on the contrary people generally agree that this is a good thing and we need more of this. And they are certainly not forced to include other genders.

There are obviously not enough initiatives like these. But a blanket statement like yours is false and if you make the claim that men are regularly getting called out as sexist for forming liberal safe spaces you should provide some sources (I’m not denying that it happens, it’s just not something I’ve experienced).

Just look at the boy scouts (ignoring the pedophiles)

The goal of boy scouts wasn’t to provide a safe space to explore gender identity or emotions or anything like that. There was no reason to exclude other genders.

Until there’s a liberal space for men, it’s going to cause them to flock to lying conservatives.

I mean, they/we also could create these spaces for us, much in the same way women did (and many other groups). And of course it’s easier to fall for reactionary groups when liberal groups are less visible, but it’s still a decision to follow their bullshit.

The only claims of genocide in this whole affair are the ones the UN has found plausible that Israel is committing.

This is your brain on Hamas propaganda.

On 16 October, an open letter signed by around 240 legal experts, including jurists and academics, declared the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 as a “crime of genocide.”

On 17 October 2023, Genocide Watch published a “Genocide Emergency Alert”, stating that “Hamas targeted Israelis simply because they were Israelis. It was the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have expressed their genocidal intent to destroy the nation of Israel. The massacres by Hamas constituted acts of genocide. The attacks were also crimes against humanity and war crimes.”[49] On 24 October 2023, Genocide Watch issued a new statement. In the statement, scholars of Holocaust studies and genocide studies and prevention, including Gregory H. Stanton and Israel Charny asserted that Hamas’ actions against Israeli civilians qualify as genocide and crimes against humanity.

In November 2023, a lawyer[who?] representing the families of nine Israeli victims of the 7 October Hamas attacks filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing Hamas of genocide.

Hilly Moodrick-Even Khen, a senior lecturer of public international law and chair of Ariel University Center for the Research and Study of Genocide, asserted that the crimes committed by Hamas on October 7 constitute the crime of genocide.

According to the Economist, Hamas fighters who conducted the attack on October 7, were carrying out actions in line with their genocidal intentions outlined in the group’s founding charter.

British historian Niall Ferguson characterized the events of 7 October as indicative of Hamas’ intent to re-enact the Holocaust.

Martin Shaw viewed Hamas’ attack as “a wave of ‘genocidal massacres,’ localized mass killings whose victims were defined by their Israeli-Jewish identity”

And that is only some examples from the real world. source
