Digital circus' biggest problem is that it was written to be a niche show aimed at weird analytical queers with actual media literacy and it accidentally blew tf up and hit the mainstream and a bunch of people who have never had a second thought about anything got into it

Most recent Neopets lore update: the depressed character everyone has been semi-jokingly claiming has dysphoria for the past two years just went through a magical rainbow transformation and immediately started going by they/them so I guess it wasn't actually really a joke after all

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

"Why do you talk so much about being intersex?"

Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.

The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.

I didn't.

I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.

Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.

That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.

A lot of people don't realize just how much space car infrastructure takes up. So I've decided to provide everyone a visual aid!

I've presented two maps at the exact same zoom level, as indicated by the big red arrow. They also each have a red area circled, of approximately the same area.

In the first image, I've circled one of eightish parking lots at a US mall. A normal amount of distance for even Americans who drive everywhere to walk through.

In the second image, I've circled:

a subway station

a park

like twenty apartment buildings

like twenty restaurants

three convenience stores (which, being Japanese, can also handle banking, copying/printing, and a variety of governmental paperwork)

one grocery store (another two right outside the circle)

seven medical clinics, two pharmacies

a fire station

a post office

two preschools and three cram schools

a Shintō shrine

a Buddhist temple

multiple parking lots and a car dealership

This wasn't even a particularly cherry-picked part of Tokyo! I just picked the area around my house.

In case anyone thinks by "a park" I'm talking about the green area not circled, I'm not, I'm talking at this area at the southeast end of the circle:

Here's another angle on the area I circled, with a lot of the things I mentioned in view.

The shrine, just because I have a soft spot for Tokyo neighborhood shrines:

Anyway, I suppose I'll end on what the mall parking lot looks like.

Remember, this is one of eightish parking lots at this mall.

bass pro shops needs a esports department i want to try weird mice i want to choose a desk pad i want to browse decorative rgb lighting

[magicratfingers]

im really not

this is a best buy — a chest high labyrinth of brand displays and loss leaders stalked by unreliable salesteens

and this is a bass pro shop

best buy puts sets out a tiny selection of product by brands that can pay for the privilege and says heehee money for our spreadsheets

bass pro shops shows you 15 versions of everything imagineable and their own versions and says whoooo look how big our dick is

so imagine the fundamentally bad ass experience if your gaming shit was sold by people who deadass put a whole lake in a store
