Bro, what in Epstein File's tariffs is this??? It really costs me over 40 dollars to ship a singular A4 sheet of paper from Germany to the United States.

Labour is killing trans people

Pass it on!!
We fucking told you. We told you, but oh no "you're being reactionary, they're just worried about transing kids to early, they're not going to try to stop adult trannies"
You fucking bastards, we told you
Especially since Hoyoverse makes ongoing games, rather than games with complete releases upfront; they rely upon a continuous stream of revenue.
My favorite is when someone makes a mild critique of the game and they respond by telling them to no longer play it if they have any criticisms. I do not think they have considered the ramifications of what would happen to a game when their customers start leaving and prioritizing other games.
I have been around some extremely toxic fandoms, being into a lot of different games myself, but I genuinely think that the Hoyoverse fandom is the worst I have ever come into contact with. Players will actively bully one another, threaten voice actors, doxx people, etc.
Some players have critiqued the game for lacking a skip dialogue option, and many fans in response will get angry, aggressive, and insult those players just for the sake of defending the company. People can make mild critiques of the game design, yet even that is taken as blasphemy.
Certain Mihoyo fans were actively insisting “these actors are just lazy, they thought they could keep their jobs despite not working for months!”
Then Welt’s VA came out and said he did keep working but refused to sign a predatory contract
He too was vilified
Seems the company can never do wrong.
But then when you point out the coercion that employers themselves use, they insist that employers are complete angels and that suddenly the responsibility is upon you to look for a new job.
I just don’t get the mind that sees game companies willingly dropping talent because they won’t even humor talking to the union (let alone signing a contract) and chooses to blame the union for it.
In my book, a company that doesn’t value the talent is the one in the wrong.
And permanent DST would just make mornings more dangerous for people with disabilities, especially in the winter where there would be less sunlight to thaw the ice and sidewalks. Lastly, morning sunlight exposure is more protective against winter SAD than evening. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Traveling across time zones is not equivalent to DST, as the adjustment usually entails retaining consistency between sunlight and the time of day. However, people who live in western parts of time zones do experience worse chronic health outcomes than those on eastern side of them.
That is where blackout curtains are effective.
If it is anything like previous attempts in the USA and Russia, then they will pretty quickly find out just how bad it is to have insufficient morning sunlight in the winter.
Do you genuinely not see the logical inconsistency between comparing a temporary form of jet lag (which itself can still be harmful to one's health) to a chronic form of jet lag, wherein the latter is created by a misalignment in sunlight exposure and anticipated wake/sleep times?
This also coincides with increased rates of suicide:

That said, people who live on the western side of a time zone do indeed have worse health outcomes than those who live on the eastern side, producing a chronic form of social jetlag:

Okay, and many people do have difficulty adjusting to the new time zones. Furthermore, the issue with permanent DST is that the time change is permanent and corresponds with a misalignment of sunlight exposure, which is not necessarily the case when changing time zones.
Okay, I have heard people complain about experiencing jet lag across one time zone. What is your point?
Not everyone wakes up that early. School and work obligations generally prevent one from waking up an hour later.
No, one cannot, because the increased light exposure in the evening inhibits melatonin production, making it harder to go to sleep to begin with. Blackout curtains can alleviate early morning exposure, but they are not as effective for addressing evening exposure.
You have never heard of jet lag?
The CDC also has discussed this very issue:
www.cdc.gov/niosh/bullet....
Some smaller-scale studies address this matter directly, though this merely confirms what scientists already know about late exposure of blue light and its impact upon the suppression of melatonin.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
They do mention it, though usually via discussions of blue light exposure and high intensity of light. The sun emits a large amount of blue light, boosting energy and alertness during the day and suppressing the production of melatonin.

Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."
*Just in the LAST WEEK*:
- Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them
- Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license
- Scouts agreed to ban trans kids
- Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids
- SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents
Kansas is invalidating trans residents' licenses even if they HAVEN'T changed their gender markers, according to this reporting from @natezuke.bsky.social @assignedmedia.org:

How odd – I thought all of this anti-trans stuff was about women's rights?
"The 34-year-old, who won last month's Gorton and Denton by-election, was helped by the police towards a waiting car after anti-transgender activists clashed with women's rights and anti-racism campaigners."
Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
I am, thank you! Hope you are doing well too.
