Here from the future: they weren’t wrong.

Problem is that this legitimizes their belief that there are set characteristics that define people as “manly.”

Every 30 years or so we make some sort of social progress for women and/or LGBT people, and then a panic ensues that society is trying to destroy manliness. The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates of the world suddenly pop up and start selling their nonsense that will magically make them the man’s men that their grandfathers were (while in fact their grandfathers were being told the same thing.)

The solution to this isn’t to tell the loud whiners that their exact fears are true. It’s to divorce ourselves from the notion that being a man is determined by penis/testicle size, or even by having them at all. By telling the bigots that their worst fears are true, we’re tacitly endorsing their bigotry as legitimate, when we should be doing the exact opposite of that.

In most of the games she’s racing against another group, but several times is alongside them or even ahead of them. For example, in the very first game she’s working with someone else who sends her in first to retrieve the treasure, and then steals it from her.

Plus, a good chunk of the time the items are hidden inside priceless ancient artifacts, and Croft has to dig into her British roots to destroy an ancient culture’s legacy so she can get a few bullets or whatever.

We just got the answer to that question yesterday.

We’re going to get a Supreme Court who says a sitting president can’t go to jail for any crime, including the state felonies he’s been convicted of that he can’t self pardon.

Trump got about the same amount of votes as he did in 2020. Harris got about 16 million less than Biden did.

It’s less that voters changed their mind and more that millions of voters will show up and vote Democrat when they care and stay home when they don’t.

The only silver lining is that maybe the Republicans will just forget about trans people until it’s time to stoke the hate again for the next election.

But yeah, very disappointing result. The country was willing to vote in a twice impeached convicted felon (whose sentencing will be postposed indefinitely, I suspect) over a gasp! brown woman.

This was silly and cheesy. But it is such a relief to see a politician enjoying themselves rather than ranting.

Or even “vs only president to be impeached twice,” “only president to be elected after losing and being impeached” “first president elected by an electorate that knows full well he is a rapist,” etc.

Monkeys are specifically non-ape simians.
