Played it and loved it. I know I should hold off and wait until it's complete before I play again, bit it's going to be tough not loading it up the second there's another update.

Yeah, I'll never know their hearts and minds, so it doesn't really matter compared to their actions.

I don't mind giving them an out, personally, if they need a way to pretend they're not shitty, amoral people (i was tricked! gosh! I would never parrot obvious lies for my own advantage! I was naive!) to resolve cognitive dissonance and stop being shitty in this way. I don't blame anyone else for not giving that to them.

They don't deserve it.

I'm glad they're trying to do something about that bs. The sorts of people worming into election boards scare me even more than the election itself. They believe conspiracy theories so easily.

Misogyny isn't just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the "bad" ones) all the time.

I get it! A friend adopted an overweight dog once, whose previous owners let free feed on cat food. Getting her to a healthy weight took a while, and everyone wants to share pet pics.

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

He looks so done

One purpose of someone personally reclaiming a slur is to reduce the sting of something used to hurt them. This is different than how it is being used in this quote, where it is being used against a cis woman the speaker considers masculine. It is being used to cause harm, here.

The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn't seem to have access to everything at the moment. It's a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that's how projects like this go sometimes.

Fishback declined to comment for this story as the nudist values his privacy.

I respect someone who knows what he's cool with sharing, and what he wants to keep private.

I vaguely remember there being a male kindergarten teacher when I was that age. there was usually a maximum of 1 per grade up until high school. that's when there was more like a third per grade.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/black-like-me-50-years-later-74543463/ Here's an interesting article on that.

By the late 1960s, however, the civil rights movement and rioting in Northern cities highlighted the national scale of racial injustice and overshadowed Griffin’s experiment in the South. Black Like Me, said activist Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), “is an excellent book—for whites.” Griffin agreed; he eventually curtailed his lecturing on the book, finding it “absurd for a white man to presume to speak for black people when they have superlative voices of their own.”
