Well this didnt age well, Imane is a darling to the west now, and might be the only person who can shut jk Rowling up for a week.

And I will allow a single part of France to be ass backwards, just like any other country. Should I share with you all the chart toppers from mine that are explicitly racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Some artists even write controversial songs in an effort to move forward dialogue, even though their actual art itself might be problematic and non-representative of their morals.

I think we might be well past the days of honest natural sport. Thats not me saying we should be cheating, but trying to get back to that isnt possible, we have to figure this out moving forward not just for women or trans people but for all the other ways science affects sports.

Its not natural that someone with enough money for the best training science can provide them is almost guaranteed to be in the top percentiles of their sport.

What’s interesting is that this has been true since at least roman times, with funding going towards training and gear, even if the participants themselves might not be wealthy.

Because to those outside of religion, its a choice to be religious. All of those least worst Muslims or good Muslims or good Christians or whatever you want to say, all should not be in those religions to begin with.

I’m not saying to destroy the community, break off and make your own “fuck the shitty versions of our religions” sect.

At some point people need to be held to their decisions, despite the community social pressure aspect, as the only way to counter that is equal and opposite pressure.

If you can figure out how to remain in a religion and cause that kind of backlash then I suppose you would be the exception.

Just to summarize, all religions are bad, so being part of them is bad too, even if you are a good person. Can’t be a good Nazi right?

Aren’t you being purposefully obtuse by refusing to consider the idea of a battery swappable phone that is IP68 certified? Its almost certainly going to happen with the line of phones in Europe that will have swappable batteries and it’s not even that far into the future.

I think this post is about change moving forward, not making sure our past decisions were sound.

Popos is Ubuntu and has been my main driver for gaming for a few years now, with an nvidia 3080ti even.

Its been more reliable than my other setup with nvidia and endeavour.

I dont think its worth generalizing entire groups of distros, because that implies they all behave similarly.

I believe the very first one had skill points that unlocked an extended ending and game art.

Not sure where the debate is this moment but from my understanding, vegans won’t eat honey.

Why are you lashing out at strangers? I dont know that your anger is coming off the way you think it is.

Well the French aren’t being assholes right now, Russia is. Specifically in relation to sports. Which is the topic of the conversation.

How does western racism cause Russia to falsely ban an athlete?

Magic earth is a great alternative.

Lol is this for real?

Do I think Russians cheat at international sports? Yes.

What the fuck are you going on about with that other shit?

For me it was understanding the idea of equilibrium. The way I use it is to mean the state of something given enough time that highs and lows have evened out.

A practical example is with common diet mentality of dieting until reaching a goal, and then stopping the diet. The diet is a peak, not dieting is a valley, over time youll end up back at the same weight or more. Basically the problem is that modern diets give people high expectations when studies show the most likely scenario is that the weight is lost, and gained back plus some.

So what will work. If we think of this long term equilibrium, the dieting doesnt work because they aren’t permanent changes. So if we agree the only way to stay healthy long term is to make permanent changes, we can agree that making cumulative small permanent changes that affect diet will ultimately result in lost weight.

Sugar is the easiest to target IMO. Dairy, meat, and fish also are good things to target too as they cause other health problems besides weight gain. Switching to mainly water is another thing. Even taking on a new hobby or exercising a slight bit more will result in a net loss as less time is able to be spent on eating and more energy is spent physically.

Plant based whole food diets usually result in weight loss because they are less calorie dense, so you will feel full with a fraction of the calories in your stomach. Alternatively you can lose weight with calorie dense foods, but you will likely have to deal with hunger more.

Once I started thinking more like this, it was easier to come up with my own changes rather than shopping around diets with absurd restrictions. You know yourself best, make small changes and keep trending in a good direction, and if you make a “mistake” do your best to forget about it and immediately get back to it.

Did you consider that the Netherlands thinks its important to stand by its rule of reform over punishment? You are being incredibly vague as well with what the person deserves.

Say it plainly, what should have been done instead?

Anyone can do anything, but becoming proficient at something is hard and takes time. Why do you hate people who create art so much?

You hold a grudge for 12 years? Did they kick your dog or something?

You’ve read those gamepass on steamdeck instructions?

I’m sure there exists someone who wants to do that but seems more like wishful thinking.

I also thought it was interesting that they can’t create their own flatpack to supply for Edge, although I would never put a microsoft product on a linux station myself.

Asking you to clarify or defend your position is acting in bad faith? I’m sorry you are too tired to engage but thats not my fault. I’m not sure what I would do with a gotcha anyways, I’m not on social media and I dont have anyone to share it with.

Feel free to come back and defend your perspective whenever though, I’ll see it in my replies I’m sure.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.
