I’m not sure the public realizes how deeply the 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸 military integrated.
So if CAF are carrying out Trump’s orders on exchange - what happens if there’s a conflict between the two country’s interests?

In case you're a cis person wondering if using someone's proper pronouns has any impact: Virtually everyone I know who is aware of my proper pronouns has only started using them regularly only after one of their (cis) peers have started to do it.
Normalizing it among your peers has the most impact!

I'm not looking for work but I have a personal goal of sharing more of my non-games stuff, so I am just going to post my favourite art pieces I've made over the last few years that I really like.
Some will be never-before-seen and NSFW. Viewer discretion is advised. 🧵

I feel like we don't talk enough about how Steam's "laissez-faire" moderation approach (with no real interest in policing itself) coupled with aggressive monetization and gamification of most of its features really make it one of the shittiest spaces to be on, practically by design.

Valve tweak Steam Community Awards to deal with point farming and "attention-grabbing content"
Along with an entirely new set of awards you can give out across Steam the changes should stop all the clown farming on reviews, guides, forum posts and more.
