Haha! To prove that it wasn't me, I just downvoted you. You are now on -1.

Sorry dude, you assumed too much there. I'm in Europe, and don't go around down voting people in the middle of the night.

Anyway, your point. It's irrelevant, since we were talking about NASA vs. the space rangers or whatever they're called. Not This Guy vs. me.

No, it's space administration. And they are the ones who actually know a thing about how spaceflight works, unlike this guy, evidently.

Does he?

Does he what?

He clearly supported Brexit no matter what the semantics of it are

What do you mean by the word "semantics" in this sentence? I don't think it means what you think it means.
Here are some examples of John Oliver opposing Brexit:

guardian, 2019

Last Week Tonight, Jun 2016

Last Week Tonight, Brexit ii

Last Week Tonight, Brexit iii

John Oliver publicly, repeatedly opposed Brexit, using his considerable platform to do so. With respect, you are talking out of your anus.

You seem to want to paint John Oliver as a stereotype, and then claim that this is all he is. I find that reductive, ignorant and distasteful. Here is someone who addresses issues varying from presidential accountability to gambling laws, national, international and global issues, with compassion, logic, humanity and humour. And you try to boil him down to a stereotype. You're not even able to define the stereotype you're trying to invoke. It would be funny if it weren't shameful.

You're absolutely right there. We're hard wired to think this way and it's a constant battle.

Knowing these helps with self-talk. You trip over a curb and start scolding yourself. Then you can say to yourself "this is just spotlight bias", and move on with your day, avoiding the impact of negative emotions. Or, you might be more open to a change in restaurant plans because you know of the false consensus effect. There's subtle but real power in just naming things!

The misgendering, and the fact that it was accidental, is the point of the post. If anything OP is sharing her correct gender with "even more people", and creating a discussion where we can think about how to stop this happening in future both to this individual, and on Lemmy in general. Why would you want to shut that down?

I think you meant they are labelling the protest as pro - Palestine, rather than anti - genocide. But it looks like you are annoyed that anyone would say things that are pro - Palestine.

I tried binding in Steam but the controller settings in Steam are kind of terrible too. Half the time I don't know what a setting does, and I feel like I need to do a training course to understand it. So I gave up and went back to Elite.

I couldn't find a way to bind a double press in X4, so hold RB and tap X for example. These combinations are essential because there is no other way to use a controller to perform all of the necessary controls. It's a shame because I would have invested a lot into the game if that was surmountable.
