idk with the old shorts this was more true, but now if it's like a quick tips thing or just a preview of a longer video, so long as you're not scrolling shorts and only scarcely engage with the more informative ones, they seem to have a place. Youtube pushes them to be infinitely scrolled clickbait garbage though so that's probably the experience for 95% of people.

If someone complains about a problem they didn't cause, it's not suddenly their responsibility to fix it. You are allowed to just be mad at something unfair. Fixing it would make it better for everyone, you're right. But if I'm irrationally afraid of women and I treat every woman I come across as a potential murderer, that's not fair to them or to me, and it's not their job to fix me.

There's an interesting technology connections video on how analog clocks can be easier to parse how "far" through the hour/day you are with just a quick glance. Hand almost at the top means the hours almost up, for instance.

A lot easier version is just short hand = the hour, long hand * 5 = the minutes

A couple bad people really ruin it for everyone. You are the person in the post because you're a regular dude who doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

That's kind of his point...

Brother this took me 15 seconds to find, this is very low effort astroturfing https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/2022-08-31/22-08-31-final-assesment.pdf

e: also all the interviews with matching details https://www.npr.org/2018/11/13/666287509/ex-detainee-describes-torture-in-chinas-xinjiang-re-education-camp But again the entire UN agrees this is happening, and the only one who says it's not is the country that benefits from saying it's not.

No they are sourcing a Chinese tabloid which is governed by China to prove that China did not do something, while every other country's reporting, including Chinese historians interviewed, says it is happening. This is the only link I checked to see if it was worth looking over the rest. I am using the most likely conclusion that either they did not care to see the source was from a Chinese tabloid because it confirmed what they already believed, or they are a foreign agent, which have been confirmed to exist on every social media platform. You should be wary I am one too. Either way it's not worth anyone's time.

Wasn't there a meme post about how people don't change their opinions when presented with facts? I think not even explanations, for me it was listening to someone I trusted talk to someone about their experiences. I think it's often just people not imagining themselves as the other person and how they would feel experiencing all that, or just not knowing what the average woman deals with day to day.

Yeah I never really liked the definition of racism = prejudice + power. People can get caught in the crossfire even if they aren't the ones in power, same with sexism. I hate ragebait like this because it's usually divisive for no gain to anyone.

I just don't know what to say because I was that person before. A lot of people men especially are extremely pigheaded and argumentative, and you can be justifiably upset at them. If your goal is to help women and further feminism though, even a "correct" gotcha like this makes people less receptive to feminism. It's just making enemies out of people who might be wrong, stubborn, and combative, which unfortunately is basically everyone at some point in their life.

The sources used in your link are sourcing Chinese tabloid Global times. I am fully convinced it's astroturfing at this point.

 

I know several Republicans who will say they love trump and everything he's doing. I say well, conservation is really important to you, and trump just cut funding to wind farms, cut tons of environmental protections, cut regulations for pollution, isn't this against everything you stand for? And they say "well nobody's perfect."

Then they say rfk is going to fix our country's health! and I say he is anti vax this is the foundation he funds to create anti vax propaganda, haven't you been pushing for vaccines your whole life? And they say well I don't think he's really going to do that.

And then they say trump is going to fix the border and I say "weren't you saying for years the problem is illegals and that we should protect refugees? Trump just canceled flights for 1500 refugees who would have been totally legal to be here" and they say well I don't know. 1 day later they're back to saying trump and rfk are great.

I don't think they are faking these beliefs, it's just as soon as a republican does it they choose to not see it. I can understand looking the other way for 1 or 2 things, but when 10+ go against their core values in the course of 3 days... it's just really disappointing to see them value "their guy" over the work they've done for their whole lives.

 

I can't seem to get freestyle gunz to connect. To note, the launcher downloads everything fine, and the game launches fine (I have to launch using the launcher.exe rather than gunz.exe or the game won't start), but it just gets stuck on "Connecting" and then the game says there was an error connecting to the server. I have followed this tutorial: https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?126443-Tutorial-How-to-run-Freestyle-Gunz-on-Ubuntu-with-Lutris and setting lutrus to use any proton version or wine version besides 9.21 I had the same issue of getting to the login page, entering my information, and it says "connecting... 2nd attempt.... 3rd attempt..." and then says failed to connect to server.

Only very old proton versions (<5) fail to launch the game at all. If I run wine cmd then ping google.com I get a regular response. Stable, Staging, and development 9.21 versions of Wine would not launch the game after clicking start on the launcher, and with the lutris configuration running wine 9.21 gives this error: 02bc:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000409 flags 1 addr 0x744b63, but running wine 9.21 with a new configuration and installing those libraries using winetricks hangs after these lines: 02c0:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_TABLE_INFORMATION action 0

I have tried running the game through steam's compatibility settings, going from top to bottom until the game no longer launched, and all had the same issue of not being able to connect, but everything else working fine. I also tried running the installer with proton, and had the same issue of not being able to connect. I tried using winetricks without lutris to install msxml3,4, 6, and xmlite, and had the same issue of the game not launching using 9.21 wine and the game launching but not connecting on earlier versions. I found another reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gunz/comments/1dwkgjq/how_to_run_gunz_the_duel_on_linux/ with someone who seems to have a similar issue of not being able to connect, but no solution.

Something maybe of note: winetricks complains I'm using a 64bit wine prefix and installing 32 bit libraries when I install msxml, but the launcher is 64 bit and the game itself is 32 bit and uses these 32 bit libraries.

I'm just running ethernet, only things that show up on ifconfig are enp5s0 (my ethernet) and lo
