is plasma any good yet? I last used it in like 2019 and it was too buggy. I’ve heard it’s gotten better, but I haven’t had the chance to test it

1 step forward, 4 steps back!

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t recommend OpenShot because it just gets really laggy when adjusting the timeline, and it lacks certain workflow features that you’d just expect mature video editing software to have (like the ability to move or delete keyframes)

Find a multiplayer online videogame that is popular, has social or elements, and is noncompetitive enough that it doesn’t already have a market for cheats. Then develop and sell cheats for it. Not illegal, just against ToS (you have a right to reverse engineer depending on where you live) And you’ll get heaps of money.

My problem is I can’t not see transgender expression as mostly being a choice. What they do to deal with their dysphoria (which amounts to body image issues, I know how serious that can be) is a decision. The decision to just go for it and start presenting as the opposite gender is the most challenging one, by nature it’s destined to be radical and have the most pushback. It’s not their body image issues that tgey are derided for, it’s their action, not their existence

Do I think that is bad? No. It is a classic underdog story, there is everything to root for

Yet I cannot view it as being even close to the civil rights movement, where people just have the wrong skin color. It just isn’t the same.

If someone is born as a boy and later in life they just decide to go “fuck you, I’m a woman” that’s punk, you cannot expect everyone from all backgrounds to understand, it is a really confronting thing. It’s actually very metal. I don’t see how anyone can think it’s just everyday existence. It’s totally a cultural choice and not just them ‘existing’ like a black person during the civil rights movement.

Trans people exist who who aren’t activists, but they are still part of a counterculture. It is very punk-coded. At some point in the past, punk people liked being seen as radicals.

Yeah, I understand not wanting it in one’s own relationship, but other people should be allowed to do whatever they want. I don’t understand getting upset at a polyamorous couple. If you don’t like it then just don’t do it yourself

It is a bit disingenuous to say they are just trying to live their lives in peace, they have chosen an antagonistic path by pushing to normalize the way gender is viewed in culture, which is an upset of the status quo, and that is radical by definition. it doesn’t matter what their motivations are for that to be true.
