It's also hard to know what you don't know, I learned in this Twitter thread that sexual education in the US is extremely inconsistent when it is even taught, with some examples of segregated gender sexual education (!). It's hard to fathom for my French self who has had full class sex ed so I didn't have to look into it later.
Whatever the reason, the conclusion still stands, in puritan US men shouldn't be passing laws about women's bodies. -

Never mind, third time's the charm, I clicked and I clicked and I clicked and I finally clicked through this mission, closing a 20 years long #videogames chapter of my life. Many times I came back to some game several years later, thinking I'd be better, and this time it's true! -

I thought I could beat the Starcraft: Brood War campaign 20 years later after I first played the game, but the very last Zerg mission "Omega" is proving too difficult for me. It seems there's no strategy to it, you just have to train Hydralisk faster than they die. Meh. -

Stephen King should build a motion-activated smoke machine so that an ominous liquid fog pours out of one window of his house whenever someone steps too close to it. -

♲ @rallyfora11y@twitter.com: I made @MrPetovan watch Little Shop of Horrors for the first time and he argued the destruction of Audrey II made no sense because electric pokemon are only 50% effective against grass pokemon.

♲ @dremilyportermd@twitter.com: I had a guy friend with a Ph.D in engineering ask me last week how women pee with a tampon in and this is why men shouldn’t be passing laws about women’s bodies.

Interestingly, the Spotify version of this same song has the Carbi B verse cut?

These past few days I've been mesmerized by the beat of the 2017 G-Eazy song No Limit I've been listening to on repeat. Warning, the lyrics (which I don't care for) aren't always the most tasteful. #np #music #rap

Pretty much anything telling what other people should be or do. These days in the US it's about how young adults should have made better financial choice when funding their college tuition in the context of the executive decision by Joe Biden to cancel out a fixed amount of federal student loans. -

That's a noble intent, but doing so you are spreading the original argument to people who might have been spared by it, which can end up being a net negative. 😬 -

It's hard, since they are some people who get a kick out of replying to these posts who you will not convince to ignore provoking posts. It's the trickle-down attention economy.
And then you have the news media industry that has been, directly or indirectly, turned into pure entertainment outlets. They also directly benefit from outrageous statements from politicians and commentators.
There is no fix for all of this, the only winning move is not to publicly engage. -

People who post the most outlandish stuff on social media either make a living or get a kick out of it. You won't convince them to stop by providing them with attention. The only winning move is not to play their game. -

Yes but someone who makes a living out of consumerism cannot abide by this. -

♲ @parismarx@twitter.com: He finally came out and said it. Climate change isn’t perceived to be an existential risk to the wealthy; they feel they can buy their way out of its worst impacts, and don’t care about what it means for everyone else. That’s why they push false solutions over real action.

If you haven't read the books it absolutely doesn't matter to you as you wouldn't know the reference. This is also why I don't suggest you try to read them as your expectations based on the TV show would likely be heavily disappointed. -

I left Netflix because of a diversity and inclusion issue, but I'm kind of glad I did given where the industry is going. I find myself renting digital copies more often than not, which I believe has a better chance of escaping the accountant's death touch given the more direct views -> revenue causality. -

It seems completely unrelated (despite using the series and the characters' names) which makes it that bad for anyone acquainted with the books. Otherwise it seems like a run-of-the-mill science-fiction show. -

If you know anything about the #Foundation series by Isaac #Asimov, do not interact with the Foundation #ScienceFiction TV show created for Apple TV+ in 2021. I repeat, do not interact, you are risking significant mental damage.
You have been warned. -

Oh no, through “Related” tweets I caught a glimpse of the gender discourse on #Twitter and, folks, I’m sorry to report it still isn’t pretty. 🥵
