I am primarily attributing it to that, especially since it’s affecting large parts of europe and also just the fact that it’s been a general trend. I just suck at phrasing sometimes.

My main point was really just that 30° in central europe has not been weird in the last 100 years.

Calling it global warming isn’t stupid, the globe is warming. It doesn’t mean “everywhere is warming” but “the global average is warming”.

40 was stupidly high and rare and now it’s still stupidly high but less rare and people very much still complain about it, 30 wasn’t super rare my entire life and i still complain about anything over 25 lol.

Local weather doesn’t mean much anyway, hottest 2 weeks on earth and where I live has been mostly pretty chill with 2 days that were actually hot (and those still only went to like 31). Pretty much the way i remember summer commonly being a while ago.

And just to be clear i am in no way trying to pretend climate change isn’t real, it’s real and we’re all royally fucked, but 30° really isn’t anything new and also saying “it was 40 degrees for a week” on its own doesn’t really say more than “global warming can’t be real it was -10 last week”.

No shit there are issues with capitalism

But they have absolutely nothing to do with this situation

Replace russian with jews and think about how your comment sounds again.

Of course it’s not like all russians are against this war, both because of propaganda and the imperialism in the culture (though again that’s very perpetuated by propaganda). That doesn’t mean all of them support it, the numbers are also definitely not actually 80%, and even if they were 80% i can’t put into words how fucked up it is to discriminate against the other 20%, almost 30 million people, just because you perceive the majority as being bad.

My issue with hot weather is that around 25°C i run out of layers to remove to stay comfortable, and I can’t even get to that point if I’m anywhere outside my own home because running around naked in public is sadly not socially acceptable. So when temps reach 35 outdoors I just feel like dying as even indoors tends to heat up to >30 if the temps stay for a few days.

…because that’s how language works?

If someone shows me a person and asks if that person is a woman, it will depend on “whether i perceive them as a woman in that moment”

If we’re talking about gender as a social concept in society, a woman is “a person the majority perceives as a woman”

If we’re talking about one’s identity, a woman is simply “someone who perceives themselves as a woman”

If we’re talking about genetics, a woman is a person with 2 x chromosomes, if we’re talking about primary sex characteristics, a woman is a persob with a vagina (or do we wanna limit it to having had one from birth? Both yes and no answers might be relevant depending on the context), etc.

even if you take gender out of the picture entirely and pretend like someone who looks like a woman, sounds like a woman, behaves like a woman somehow isn’t a woman, you’d still need context to define it.

It’s also a question that I have never fucking asked myself in my life in a general sense, because it’s utterly irrelevant except in very specific contexts.

basically, all of this. My issue was that no matter what I tried, said game was clearly displayed at 60hz on my 240hz monitor (very fast movement so it’s extremely obvious, and it looked identical to if i set the monitor to 60hz in windows). Tried a few things but couldn’t get it to work.

So I didn’t quite try it to switch, rather installed linux to dualboot specifically because one game had lag issues on windows, and ultimately there are just 2 things keeping me from making linux the main and windows the backup.

One is game compatibility, while linux has come a long way it’s simply more convenient to be on windows which can effectively run everything (even if there are a few more performance issues at times).

The other is that I couldn’t find a DE of which I liked the look that could handle high refresh rate monitors properly. LXDE works for my purpose and I think it looks ok, but by design it just doesn’t feel as nice to use as windows.

Hated gnomes UX, liked KDE but it couldn’t handle my monitor. Wouldn’t wanna bother with trying many more options unless I actually know it will work with my hardware.

I have tried like 5 different vegan meat things now and they ranged from bad (the times they involved cheese, my god vegan cheese sucks) to “ok, but would rather just eat something that is vegan without trying to be fake meat.”

Is there any particular type of product that’s good? Brands will probably only help if you’re also in germany, but maybe fake chicken is just the wrong fake meat to buy.

You have a few options, one is sharpkeys as people mentioned, alternatively there’s also the microsoft keyboard layout creator that lets you make a custom keyboard layout where the two are swapped.

If you only want to activate it temporarily, you could also use autohotkey to define a hotkey that makes you type a colon instead of a semicolon and vice versa until you switch it off.

The Muv-Luv trilogy, or rather Muv-Luv Alternative in particular. I just went into hermit mode for the full 60 or so hours it took me to read/play all of it.

It still has its flaws of course but the worldbuilding and character interactions with such a dark and conpelling but not edgy story are something that nothing else has matched for me.

Having multicommunities (either the option to automatically combine all communities with the same name across federated instances into one feed, or some sort of manual linking from the mod side where a community gets combined outward facing while still being hosted across servers with seperate mods) has already been brought up and would be a very good feature to mitigate this issue too. It’s not something that has to stay impossible forever.

If you’ve ever checked new on askreddit, there were quite some questions like that on there too (and people usually answered them because… well why not I guess, everyone’s just killing time on there anyway).

I think as long as there aren’t many posts anyway, it doesn’t really matter. Once there are, it’s unlikely the not open ended questions would get much traction. Maybe /r/outoftheloop or /r/nostupidquestions style posts would also get upvoted, at which point it would probably make sense to seperate the concepts. For now that seems a bit needless imo.

The text specifically disallows this, at least.

Though some sort of ID-verification so you can only put in official Apple batteries for a stupid markup seems likely.

Honestly I would argue it doesn’t matter in either case.

If it is about possession, there just isn’t enough of a negative effect from allowing someone to look at that stuff for another month or so to justify serious infringement on rights without a conviction. The abuse has happened, and a single individual looking at it some more won’t affect things much. And after an actual conviction they’ll just be in prison, or after release you would have a justification to monitor at least their own internet traffic.

If it’s about production, the internet traffic isn’t likely to be the problem. Someone sexually abusing children isn’t likely to stop just because they can’t put it on the internet anymore. At that point you’d rather need to keep them away from children in the first place.

Ironically I wouldn’t mind paying for it if yt didn’t have these stupid monetization rules. Every time i hear a word being bleeped out my hate for youtube grows.

I actually do give them some money as there is a band I really like and due to shipping costs/import tax yt channel membership is the most viable way I have to support them, so while it’s less than yt premium, I’m still not completely leeching off the platform.
