To be fair, the vast majority of these are societal standards and not rights, they are still absolutely important and we need to do more for equality both for women and for men, but strictly speaking they are not by definition rights.

But I am in agreement with you that I think a lot of why the younger generation are being pulled in the wrong direction is because men, of which I am one, have not done enough to create an environment that addresses issues that primarily affects men in a way that is not based on misogyny.

Don't get me wrong, the alt-right have absolutely tried to exacerbate these issues (either knowingly or unknowingly) and use them for their own gains, but we as a society have also not prioritized emotionally healthy solutions and that has led us to where we are.

Out of curiosity (please feel free to disregard if the question is too personal), when you've partaken in kinky activities with other people, has it been sexual in nature or have they been other types of experiences?

I'm not very knowledgeable about that world but I've always sort of associated it with sexual gratification, I have heard fairly recently that a pretty large portion of people engage in it without involving sex and I'm just curious about what kind of enjoyment is involved in that case.

What is a hëlp and how do we cover it?

Be the change you want to see in the world. Beautiful.

It's an all-day activity, in my opinion it's much more pleasant than binging.

I have never thought in terms of this before but now that you explain it, why wouldn't they do exactly that when no one was held accountable after the 2008 financial crash, the big firms that fucked the market got bailed out, and the ones who had enough money when the dust settled could buy everything for cheap and increase their ownership?

I didn't know that the Night Lords worked at Activision but whatever works, I suppose.

That's just ridiculous, they wouldn't price it the same.

They'd price it at 99% of the cost of a human's salary so that they can convince their customers that they're saving money by firing their workers, then pocket the difference!

I think one argument would be that if you use "only" beforehand then the next linguistic object must (or at least should) be descriptive, meaning that if you only say "guys" then you're kind of infusing meaning into it, which defaults back to how the word has been used historically. If someone said "I only date cool guys" then I think it's more ambiguous.

That being said, I also think there is still quite a strong gendered connotation to guy/dude and the gender-neutral definition is pretty modern. The good thing is that language is defined by its usage, so if we decide to use it as a gender-neutral term then eventually that is what it will become.

Add to that, that to the best of my knowledge, most child rapists are not pedophiles and most pedophiles are not child rapists.

The two being convoluted helps child rapists by letting them hide behind their sexual orientation ("he can't be a child predator, he has a wife and kids!") and hurts pedophiles by stigmatizing their condition so that they have a harder time getting help to control or remove their sexual urges.

If we really want to reduce the amount suffering for both adults and, most importantly, children then we have to be able to start having actual conversations about this.

It doesn't have to be true, it just has to convince his base and that's a low bar.

Well, that could make the popup unusable depending on screen size. I think the wording is pretty clear, the issue is just that there's no followup and not clear enough incentives to avoid skirting the rules at the moment.

Not "make it easy", it's "make it as easy", meaning it can't be easier to accept than to revoke, much clearer bar.

That's already part of the GDPR, companies just aren't complying with it.

From the official GDPR site:

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

• Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.
• Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.
• Document and store consent received from users.
• Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies
• Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

Combined with their last two sentences

although it has to do with so many factors that are helping them intentionally.(example they made up majority labs in universities, preferred over men in probably hire situations as part of thier "demographic" goals.

Their comment reads a bit like "how do you do fellow kids non-misogynists"

First person to win two Nobel prizes and the only person to win the Nobel prize in two different scientific fields.

So basically that's why it will never be 100% correct all the time, because all of the output is just more or less correct hallucination.

This is completely correct, it does the exact same thing when it works as people expect as it does when it's "hallucinating".

I am mostly in agreement with you but why would the area of the car matter? You can potentially have bigger crumple zones, but that'd exclude the space that is used for passengers. Other than that, the energy transferred in a collision is relative to the mass, where the lighter vehicle receives a larger proportion of the energy than the heavier one.

That's an odd way to troll but you do you, I guess.

I can add that in my experience, switching to Linux tends to have a positive impact on performance and keep the laptop usable for longer, I highly recommend you try it with your current laptop.
