I’m talking about political and societal attitudes; We’re outliers. Simply being on the Fediverse makes us outliers with a strong bias towards more tech and gaming based interests.

It will be another 10-20 years before politics catches up to us in normalising video games and understanding they’re important cultural elements not simply kids entertainment. Until that point in time, their importance is going to be neglected by politicians and Christian lobbyists will be able to exert their influence over moral policing them.

    They may have grown up with video games, but video games were not the cultural force they are today. For my entire childhood they were for nerdy boys, now everyone growing up plays them and they are mass cultural events such as fortnite concerts and streamers.

    Our country is incredibly lazy and slow to change, and Christians hold a lot of power.

    Likewise the median age of politician is 50, so they’re not really a generation who value gaming.

    But mostly it’s Christian’s and their forced morals on the rest of us.

    I bought some random straightener brush from a shop a few years ago and I love it compared to a flat iron. I find the gaps between the brush-prong-things helps grab between my curl strands.

    Just as I'm about to start like a ~$20,000 dental treatment. I bet this will come in the second I start getting billed for it.

    Still long overdue and I hope it does happen and benefits everyone.

    Only happened yesterday, no news articles or anything are up about it so no idea what’s happening. Might be a stolen car as well.

    Although this is more in the realm of terrorism than losing a license.
