It's 40+ year olds calling you names.
That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can't do that on Lemmy. That's a grown adult praising North Korea...
Shirt buttons are sown onto the left side of women's clothes and the right side of men's. The buttons on his shirt are on his right side.
I'm assuming OP means maybe the DNA model has the helix spinning the wrong way because the image was flipped horizontally, but that would cause the shirt buttons to be on the wrong side for men's clothes.
It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.
What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna ~~grill~~ game!
"Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed?"
Please don't judge my sleep schedule, Nagatoro-san!
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun. We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed in frustration? All to later be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. People fought wars to end monarchy, slavery, fascism. Wanting to be left alone isn't the mark of a good person. Good deeds are what make a good person. It is your actions, not your beliefs, that make you a good person.
You don't need to bombard people with your ideas. You need to stand up for them.
I find it hilarious that the reason these payment companies requested sites pull their NSFW content was due to direct action by a puritanical activist group but people upset by it not only don't care enough to participate in direct action themselves but won't even put their real name on a petition.

Say what you want about right wing nut jobs, but they at least care enough about their ideas that they go out and make a difference.
Michael Cera. He does a good job, but the whole time you're waiting for him to do his "awkward teenager" character.
