if anyone has a macbook did anyone run into issues with speakers not working after the 26.5 update? Its picking up audio input from the mic but nothing is playing out from built in speakers. I know I just have to go to best buy probably but I’m so annoyed

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?

[boybeetles]

Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate

[flurrin]

Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.

Thanks for the correction! I was like 8-10 years old when this all went down (2014-2016) so I only know vaguely about it. I’m still learning about this.

For additional context, the reason people are posting about her again after over a decade is because she's credited as a consultant for the deck-building roguelike Slay the Spire II, which lead to the game being review bombed, including by many people with 100+ hours in the game who suddenly decided the game was always bad cause she's involved now

The early to mid 2010s were such a wild fucking time for me, cause I was sitting there wondering why the channels I subscribed to cause they made videos debunking young earth creationists were suddenly ranting about "ethics in game journalism"

>the channels I subscribed to cause they made videos debunking young earth creationists were suddenly ranting about "ethics in game journalism"

I feel like this was the start of a lot of prominent 'anti sjw' figures. The Amazing Atheist is one that comes to mind

Painting this with three kids around was… honestly, almost impossible.

Stressful, chaotic — a calm sunny day somehow turned into a full storm around me.

And the hardest part?

Trying to bring it to completion while everything was still wet…But maybe that energy stayed in the painting too.
