I'm also in the second camp. Plus, censoring the bad words on specific users is a few too many steps closer to don't say gay on the internet. Is ass ok but not fuck? Is sex talk forbidden? All mention of anatomy, including general questions about health? How about they ban anti-capitalist language too? The tiktok language phenomenon shows that users will absolutely just make do getting around communication bans, "unalive" and "le$beans" being the most popular. This type of censorship has already happened on other platforms, and it's all bullshit and useless.

Yeah all 12 of them XD. Really taking the temp of the population there.

Good! That's what I want to hear.

There will always be another shitty person and yes it is exhausting. My partner is non-binary, I understand some of it. But online is literally the easiest place to be an ID and not a person. Don't put anything in your profile, don't hint stuff with your usernames, make your pfp a cartoon sheep, and only express anything that might bring harassment in places that will accept it, and make that a separate identity. I use the same username everywhere and it's unique, but I'm also not a target.

I can empathize with it being a problem, but there are (annoying and unfair) steps to mitigate it. It might even involve removing or abandoning all of your online identities so you can't be tracked down, but people get doxed all the time and have to start over.

Constant harassment? No because I block people at the drop of a hat. Unprompted friend request? Blocked. Playing music in global chat? Blocked. Shitty username? Blocked. Don't deal with people, a single infraction is enough to remove internet strangers forever.

I tried it for an hour, the gameplay was just starting to get past intro stuff and seemed interesting sobut I had just awful performance with my 1080ti. Bad enough that I refunded it. I do wonder if that got fixed by now, but not enough to try again.

Nobody's mentioned Rinworld yet, I played like 15 hours over the weekend, getting one of the endings for the Anomaly DLC. My current goal is to get everybodys genetics locked in, and everyone getting bionic limbs before I sell the place for an archotech shard.

Well at the point of kicking, I don't think many people are saying abortion is still an option. Pushing a pregnant person feels worse, in the same way hurting any more vulnerable party does. Can't really argue with that. Causing a miscarriage should be a more serious offense yes, but I feel like it is a difference between suicide and manslaughter. Both are crime, and both have the same end point, but one was action taken against another.

The unborn child doesn't get a say because it doesn't have a say yet. It doesn't have an opinion. It doesn't want to live. It can't survive on its own, it's just a parasite basically until it's born.

Being pregnant is a life threatening emergency, until we had modern medical intervention, we had death from childbirth all the time. Like, all the friggin time. Making someone carry to term is not exactly a no-risk/no struggle situation for them, and forcing them to is just punishment for sinning for a lot of pro-life people. Same reason a portion of pro life people want to ban contraceptives.

The goal is to stop having unhappy, poor, abused, or unwanted children, and to have happy, well adjusted, wanted and loved children. The pro-life argument usually stops as soon as a kid is born. No adoption programs, no child health care reform, no handouts for struggling parents, nothing. So someone who wasn't ready to have a kid might now be forced to either abandon them or barely make it through life with a kid, making everything harder for all of them.

So because you're not the ultimate moral arbiter, why not leave it up to the people who may or may not get an abortion? Almost like it's pro CHOICE.

Your example of pushing is still assault and non-consensual, pretty easy to call a difference there. The only argument I've heard hold any water is the cutoff time for abortion, but that's not what pro life people are ever talking about.

I agree, that was basically tapping. Still inappropriate but not like, damaging.

I never even considered using my flipper to check for outbound signals. I have been wanting to track down the installed LoJack for a while and make sure it's properly disabled, that might help.

I was just mentioning that to my partner lol. If someone has a bad enough take on a subject, I just remove that interaction, and make sure I don't think about their opinions anymore. I'm sure some people will say that I'm not open-minded enough and shouldn't block people with other views but I don't have that kind of time, and I don't feel like making it my problem.

It may have been that one, I'll have to look up Joe pie haha

Yeah for metal, I don't know if I'd trust it. Maybe light cuts.

And here it is with a part on it. and machined.

I feel like you'll end up having to pick some compromises, or spend a lot of money. I think your best bet would be a desktop PC that has a bit more punch for less money than a laptop would be, and then also buy a laptop for your actual laptop needs, if you can find used options you might come in at budget. A laptop with integrated graphics can handle some games, you probably need to pick non-graphic intense games for gaming on the go.

There are some new laptops coming out from Qualcomm that have a Snapdragon X, and they are not as versatile or powerful as Intel or AMD, but they are incredibly power efficient and cheaper. (They are new so we'll see how that pans out )

$1000 is not enough IMO for a catchall laptop with a modern GPU, AI capable, power efficient, repairable, and lightweight. A 800$ desktop and a $200 laptop/Chromebook/used thinkpad and SSD can probably cover your real use case of school laptop and also gaming/AI at home.

I was also going to pitch his books, and I haven't even read all of them. They are very solid fantasy books, and he just keeps writing bangers at an unusual pace. My favorite part of books is magic systems, and all the flavors they come in, idk if that is something you've found you like yet.

What's funny is I know someone with like, 2000 hours in that game. And it just happened to be his favorite fps, nothing to do with the army propaganda.

I was so jealous of my dad's HTC one, haha.

I could increase the cyberpunk feeling by turning the TVs off with a flipper zero. I haven't felt the need to yet but it's always an option.

I wouldn't buy a printer to try and be profitable per say, I would buy one for the things you cant/don't want to buy. If you can use some 3d modeling software, you can begin to solve problems for almost no money.

Stuff like a vape holder and extended cup holder for my partners car, or a couple little shelf brackets for our IKEA cubes, or replacement closet rod supports. It takes a few minutes in CAD, a couple hours or printing, and 15¢ of plastic, and saves a trip to the store. Making custom, exactly how you want stuff is really nice.

Knick nacks are fun too, but ultimately your house will fill with things you don't particularly want or use.

Yeah, I haven't seen anything for a more sturdy seat post. Im willing to bet you could find an aftermarket seat and post though, because it looks like it's a pipe-in-pipe attachment to the rest of the bike. As long as it's got the same diameter.

Or fill the stock one up with JB weld or something. Give it some extra stiffness.

Solid aluminum bar is pretty cheap, if you have any sort of tools to cut it to length. I don't know what your clamping/attachment method is for your bike.

Wasteful? Of the 7¢ ibuprofen pill? Boo fuckin hoo lol.

Yeah but I'm doing 64 in a 55, passing the person doing 58 in the right lane and someone comes up behind me doing 75, acting like I'm impeding the flow of traffic.

It takes a little while to pass someone without wildly breaking the law.

I'm not sure, but I can't downvote anything. I don't know if I can ask see other downvotes or not.

Jokes on them, my instance doesn't support down votes.

"that's a pirated copy I'm playing locally, not live tv".

Mm took a shift from setup to finished. I had to proof the program and made some edits along the way.

I don't wanna be licking the leaded steal lol

They are for an in house assembly yeah. We were pretty behind haha

They smell like metal and oil and my fingers..

The... Orders? Do you mean the steel?

He didn't wish for the death of a president. He's not the president. Idiot.

My steam review for rinworld would say I have some 6000 hours in game, but I've only played maybe 300. I have a habit of leaving games open while I go to bed, or make meals, or go to work. I'll leave a game running for days just so I don't have to launch it again when I want to start. I only put so much stock into playtime because of that.

They make children's sized dirt bike(motorcycle) helmets, and they are full faced. Probably not as cheap as a regular bike helmet but they are well under $100. Amazon has a razer brand full face for $40.

Or turn off the monitor and bounce lol. If you don't have employees to fix things, systems are hilariously easy to break.

"an employee making less than the new threshold who doesn’t manage anyone else, whose job doesn’t require them to exercise “independent judgment with respect to matters of significance,” according to DOL, and whose job doesn’t require advanced knowledge might qualify for overtime pay."

The limit used to be people making under like, 100k, and now the limit is like, 130k or something. How many people making between 100k and 130k have jobs that are not management and don't require independent judgment with respect to matters of significance?

Feels pretty niche to me, but I guess progress is good. I'm also wondering how many people in these positions don't have significant bargaining power., as the article states this law is for those people.

Edit: Ah re-read it: it also impacts those in the 30-40k range, bumping the threshold up significantly.

Told is the past tense of tell, tolled is the past tense of "to toll" like a fee for something. English sucks lol

Hey currently religious rules include: -Eating scaleless fish or seafood is forbidden, but actually shrimp is ok but crab is not. -Wearing clothing made of two different fibers is a sin. -Don't cook a young goat in its mothers milk.

So I'm not about to assume what might be considered a non-issue to any specific religious community.
