License changes that will charge developers based on how many installs their game has instead of how many units sold.

It seems that locally hosted images are down. That'll be every uploaded image, thumbnails, profile image. Weird thing is that community icons and banners are still loading.

No but there's a couple subtlies here. If you are calling someone brave, the context is important. It can come off as condescending. Also coming out isn't an all or nothing thing, see here.

Also in this comic they aren't saying they are brave for coming out. They are saying they are brave for being cis. The underlying assumption there being that being cis or trans is a choice that one can be brave for.

 

Image description: 4 panel comic titled If Trans People Said the Things Cis People Tell Them.

Panel one has an androgynous individual talking to a woman. The androgynous individual, "To me, you are 100% a girl, you know?" The woman has a look of confusion and disgust and responds with, "Wow, thanks."

Panel two has the same androgynous individual speaking with a man. The androgynous individual is saying, "It's so incredibly you look just like an actual boy!" The man is rubbing the back of his head in nervous confusion and says, "Yeah, I... am one?"

Panel three has the androgynous individual speaking with someone of ambiguous gender. The androgynous individual says, "I would never have guessed you were cis! Congratulations!" The other person is looking at them with an expression of confusion and concern.

Panel four has the androgynous individual speaking to a man. The androgynous individual says, "I think you are so brave for being who you are." The man is frowning at them.

Image description: Three stills taking from The Lord of the Rings stacked vertically to create a comic. The stills are taken from the scene where Frodo is wishing he wasn't the ring bearer. The images have closed captions with clear edits to change select words.

Frame one, close up of Frodo. Caption: I wish [my assigned gener] never came to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Frame two, close up of Gandalf . Caption: So do all who live to [transition.] But that's not up for them to decide.

Frame three, same close up of Gandalf. Caption: All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I love this one too. I do wonder how my past-selves would react to me. There was definitely some internalized transphobia I had to deconstruct in my realization. I'm not sure how I would of reacted if I was forced to confront my trans-ness before I was ready.

[–] BiNonBi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

This might be my favorite version of this trope. The knowing look from the future-self. The nervous confusion from the past-self.

I'm wondering how that got there. Teenager painting it on the floor and the parents failing to remove it properly? Or something older?

Surveillance, recon and range of weapons has drastically changed. Satellites have the capability to identify a surface fleet and long range weapons are now able to be fired from long distances, find and hit their targets.

I think a couple submarines can effectively negate a carrier task force by just forcing the task force to keep their distance by the threat of a missile launch coming from a patch of seemingly empty see. Any surface ship hunting them is at risk of suddenly becoming the hunted themselves by the submarine or by any land based defense system that are in range.

Do they need to be able to fight across the entire Pacific? Their most likely adversaries are right next door and their most likely ally is the dominant naval power already.

I any money spent on a large carrier would probably be better spent on other things. You can spend 10 billion on a single carrier or get a fleet of ~100 F-35s. I would guess mid-air refueling and more planes will get more sorties over likely targets in a conflict than a carrier would.

I also don't think carriers are going to be the dominant sea power force in a future peer conflict. I think the submarine will dominate the next war. The carrier will be regulated to power projection after the sea is won and made safe to operate in.

It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It's the nation-state equivalent to "I'm not touching you."

The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.

I believe that's officially a variant rule. The system itself works fine without a grid. It can be done completely in the theater of the mind.

The grid is just commonly used because it simplifies movement and positioning greatly.
