According to Yahoo! News Japan, 7-Eleven said the demand and interest have been exceedingly high, so it decided to suspense [sic] the rollout due to sales structure.

A fun fact for whom, 8 year olds who are a year late learning a fact everyone knows?

This sort of pseudo-intellectual rhetoric that wants to pose as critical thought gives me stomach pains. When people act like historians to justify their use of words like “faggot”, I just don’t know what to do. I almost feel bad for them, which I know most people don’t want to do.

If that’s your response, you’re just handing them the victory in this argument.

Do you also walk up to people with your finger extended and loudly proclaim, “But I’m not touching you!”

That’s not what he was doing and you know it.  If you have nothing to say, don’t say whatever comes to mind.

No.  But people are more vocal and visual when disagreeing instead of agreeing.

It’s tough because competitive to some is a mode that should accurately place you on a bell curve of ability. It’s a measure of ability and worth in some sense. That’s good. That’s mainly how I approach it. For others, it’s a place where you do whatever it takes to increase that number. The irony is that this might…

lol

Losing the ability to check teammates’ creds wasn’t something I was looking forward to. If a teammate was struggling over which hero to play, it helped me help them to look at who they’ve won with the most.

That looks more like Ded Moroz (Дед Мороз) than Santa himself.

The context is about internal consistency. As in, don’t advocate for something without considering how to get there and what happens when you do. Arguing for a gender as a cultural thing, as appears in many cultures with 3rd genders, legitimizes the idea that we can shun it and say we don’t have it in ours.

Western society didn’t really do that. That was mostly amongst nobles and in villages without many options. Most people were married in their mid 20s, contrary to popular myths.

Lol.  What?  That point isn’t even relevant and it feels like you’re bringing up slavery and colonization to find something else that’s more charged.

Are you suggesting social convention isn’t real?  Or that a businessman who showed up to work in a dress wouldn’t face retaliation in any way?  That’s pretty much nonsense.

It has precedent in other cultures for sure, but this argument is always presented like a sledgehammer to faulty logic rather than an entire paradigm shift.  If our ideas of masculine and feminine in the West came about naturally, and other cultures developed their own and should be respected, the idea of not having a…

That’s mostly a snarky post with no base than a real one.  We know that men and women have different roles in different societies and even at different levels.  The history of “nonbinary” is recent, and the implication that it isn’t would reinforce the idea that we don’t actually need a term then.

No, it would still be an issue. Even more egalitarian societies have gender expression like this. The issue for me is two-fold (at least these are the lenses I see it with). For one, being non-binary is a reaction against binary. It’s as rooted in binary terms as anything else. People choosing different gendered…

There’s probably a disparity between people who are okay with microtransactions and people who are okay with loot boxes. Loot boxes aren’t just a proxy for microtransactions but worse step beyond them. Not being upset with why companies are doing it is entirely stupid.

I’ve seen jabs at dropoff in PUBG and in Battlefield. Could you explain the differences, please?
