  1. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    Except for the detail that they are literally not targeting children with it. Their streaming service is part of their attempts to expand their reach and market. The notion of cartoons which are aimed at older audiences has been around for a long time now. I am actually surprised now that you...
  2. Libs of TikTok Threaten To Sue Twitter Over Ban Practices

    Aren't they always going on about how private companies should be free to enact their own policies and procedures? Referring to the right in general.
  3. Disney creates satanic cartoons for children

    I am not seeing the controversy. There have been stories about supernatural beings having sex with mortals for a while now. Also like PGen98 identified it isn't even targeted at kids.
  4. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    That is literally what gender is. The cultural and social understandings. Or should we invent a third word to refer to these? If so what value is there in having two words that refer to the biology and one word which refers to the sociocultural? Would it not make more sense to have one referring...
  5. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You haven't really addressed my question. I am wanting to know more directly what you are asserting is the relationship between gender and sex. You have said they are the same thing. The problem with this is about the biological differences and gender is about the social and cultural...
  6. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    The only area I would disagree with him is in the assertion that they are totally distinct concepts. As I believe that gender and sex both exercise influence on each other. In a real sense they mutually construct each other. The biological and sociocultural do not exist in separate realities...
  7. last soviet leader dies at 91

    It is ironic to refer to him as the last Soviet leader after he betrayed his people and the revolution. His counterrevolutionary nonsense inflicted a lot of needles suffering as he subject his people to the brutalities of neo-liberal structural adjustment policies.
  8. Nations report card indicates worst decline in math and reading scores in decades.

    Which is a shame as it isn't like there is nowhere to improve the education system. There are still lots of shortcomings where it does need serious reform. Do you still have an equivalent of the Headstart programme? Last I heard the conservatives were trying to get rid of that. Under quite...
  9. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Which you are totally and completely correct on. I am confused as to how there can even be any debate about this. Gender is literally a term that came into existence to be defined against sex.
  10. Favorite sports teams?

    I am not so sure. I think the international scene is a lot more competitive now. Which I think is a lot better for the game overall. We still have some amazing players but the rest of the rugby world has caught up now. Ireland just had their historic series win over us 2 -1/ Not so much of...
  11. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at that. It certainly is within the realm of possibility given how freely they have been drawing from outdated and disproven arguments and frameworks. I have read articles from the 1980s decrying how frustrating it is that they continue to go back to the...
  12. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    It is incredibly discouraging and disheartening to see this trends playing out. Firstly, and most importantly because of the all to real cost they have on people's lives. We had not even reached a point of parity, yet we are finding the gains which had been made are getting rolled back. Secondly...
  13. Biden is at 38 percent approval, down from 41 percent last week. No blue wave coming!

    I am not particularly surprised to see this, he has been a weak and ineffective leader. The compromises he made with the left, which if we are being honest we didn't expect him to keep, have been whittled down to being all but meaningless. The Democrats are a right wing party, so it is folly to...
  14. Favorite sports teams?

    Haha I am surprised to get the shoutout considering how poorly we have been performing lately. The feedback from fans on them here in New Zealand has been savage. Not that I agree with the extent of it at all. Rugby League: (NRL)The Warriors but I also support the Eels, (International) Kiwis...
  15. The Nintendo Switch has 55 first/second party titles that became million sellers

    I have twenty from that list. Although how many of them have I even finished? I think most I haven't even gotten to end credits. 😅😅 There are some good games on that list though. The ones I did finish I really enjoyed. I am also really wanting to play/finish plenty more.
  16. How did you buy your game consoles and games when young?

    I had a part-time job delivering circulars, the pay was pretty bad. But it was enough for me to get a PS2, Turok: Evolution, This is Football 2002, a second controller, and a memory card. I didn't buy games all that often, especially as I got the PS2 on hire purchase. That ate my monies for a...
  17. Pay to be a member forums

    I wouldn't directly pay for a forum in and of itself, as I am too used to not needing to do so. However I have gained membership to forums through paid membership when the forum was used as a means of communicating and coordinating with other members. Would that still count? I wasn't paying to...
  18. How much can we trust our governments?

    I think fundamentally you and I disagree about the nature of capitalism. But we do so in such a way that we are both in the very least suspicious of the state. You because you think they have turned too far away from capitalism and me because I think they are too capitalist. We even both look at...
