They are not my standards. Describing reality does not mean you’re happy about it. And yeah, that’s sexism, patriarchy, whatever you want to call it.

There is a social context that makes gender-swapping not entirely symmetrical. Men and women are not treated equally by a large portion of the population. These differences in treatment have repeating patterns and tendencies that create a bias that does not average out.

Just to be clear, both men and women suffer from these biases. Think “provide for family”, “parental leave”, “children custody”, “real men don’t cry” for men. Women get the short end of stick in terms of autonomy and respect though…

What’s the stuff in the background on the right?

I’m not very familiar with UK politics, but are the Liberal Democrats far-left? It doesn’t look like it, at least by European standards.

Ooh, nice. Thanks for making me discover it! I would have liked a FOSS alternative, but this is pretty good.

Edit: argh, it’s nice for local urban commute, but it doesn’t work outside or between big cities :(

OSM can technically replace Gmaps for shops and restaurants if enough people were using and updating it.

However, Gmaps in unbeatable for public transportation :( no alternative at all

These are very valid arguments that can’t be reduced to a lack of habit. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Are you american? If so, the “unwieldy and too long” is probably because you’re not used to it. I’m not used to letter-size and it seems weirdly short and unnecessarily wide but I know it’s because I’m just not used to it.

I tried to swap the awful colormap… I don’t know if it’s any better, I hope so!

Edit: ah, the rivers were already blue…

Another possible interpretation I haven’t seen in the comments: it’s possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it’s normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

It’s a crossover between two excellent games: The style is from Undertale and the depicted character and environment are from Disco Elysium

You weren’t kidding!

Is this… Rayman?

One of the most renowned Belgian comic characters is Gaston Lagaffe. Its author, Franquin, has doodled some horny stuff with Gaston too, it’s interesting.

Of course. And I’ll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I’m better off blocking it. I’m not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I’m against advertisement abuse and greed.

I’ll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.

You’re right, it’s a fork of Lemmur
