I sort of agree in that I very much would like to abolish gender, I don’t think it’s a super helpful framework to have so heavily embedded in society and in how humans interact with each other. On the other hand, I’m wary of equating manhood with shittiness, because there are (a) non-shitty men and (b) people who actively choose manhood. I’m simply unwilling to say that a trans man is actively choosing to be a shitty human by virtue of choosing to be a man. That doesn’t seem right to me, there’s something drawing trans men to manhood, and I do not believe it’s as simple as wanting to be a misogynist.
There’s not a man alive who doesn’t think women are beneath him.
Please, we can talk about how men are shitty without saying that they are literally, all of them, to a man, irredeemable. Because that’s obviously not true, there are plenty of men who see women as their equals. Yes, there’s “male socialization” or whatever and men are often taught to be extremely shitty, but their shittiness is not a necessary part of manhood and they can be educated out of it.
In fact, I would argue that saying stuff like this, that “there’s not a man alive who doesn’t think women are beneath him” actually gives men a pass to be misogynistic assholes. If part of being a man is viewing women as lesser, then we can’t hold any man accountable when he views women as lesser. But we can hold them accountable for this, and furthermore, we need to if we ever want to build a better society.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think the updated textures look worse than the original. I looked through all the screenshots and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’d want to play the re-remastered. The lighting is harsh, the extra detail makes every scene harder to parse and it just looks, I dunno, messy.
But, that’s the beauty of modding! People who like the updated textures and lighting of this mod can install it, and I don’t have to!
Sure, that’s extremely fair! Those qt dependencies are no joke! How do you feel about Evince (apparently now called gnome document viewer)? It seems to be the standard gtk pdf viewer, but I’ve never used it, so I actually don’t know what it’s features are like. It’s a heavier application than mupdf (of course), but at least you don’t need to install qt to use it!
When zathura (my beloved) isn’t feature-rich enough for my needs I usually turn to okular. Sure, it’s kde, so if you’re on a pure gnome system you’re going to have to install a bunch of dependencies, but if that’s not a problem for you, okular is quite good in my experience!
I’m very confused by this. She’s a billionaire, it’s actually unthinkable that there would be that much mold on her walls. That’s just like, literally impossible. Even if she doesn’t notice it, one of the people she pays to clean/cook/whatever surely would. But if this is an unedited photo (actually, hold on, maybe it’s an edited photo, that might be the explanation), then I’m struggling to see what else that could be except mold. It doesn’t look like weird wallpaper, it’s far too uneven for that.
I think I’m going to believe the photo is edited to make it look like she has mold on her walls, at least until I see a video or some more photos from slightly different angles or whatever.
Edit: Oh. A picosecond of googling has shown me this is actually her twitter profile pic? She uploaded this herself? Well there’s my theory out the window! She wouldn’t edit mold into her own photo, that doesn’t make sense. So very possibly indeed a full on billionaire has tons of mold on her walls? That makes no sense! That actively makes negative sense! I don’t understand!
