Got very excited

You can, and do.

It helps set the bar, it is a tool for determining how to assess what level of imbalance is reasonable.

It’s not the only tool, nor an I arguing for it to be.

Nothing about gender wars here.

Just because Facebook is shit, doesn’t make this any better.

I was making the point, that despite the fact that this is mildly ok. The test for anything that gives one group power over another, is to switch the groups.

If it’s still reasonable, than it is probably OK to keep it. If however it seems wrong after the switch, the bar to keep the power imbalance should be very high.

Agreed, but it is worse the way I put it…

Change the target to any other group and the outrage would be 100-10000 fold bigger.

Try it out, instead of Women rating men, try subbing in various minority groups or races.

Bonus points for the most offensive combinations…

e.g. Russians rating Ukrainians in your area…it can get pretty bad…I can think of many worse combos.

I thought that list was about NZ, until I got to fire trap…we don’t have that particular problem here.

The rest, well fairly spot on.

This is about the Epstein files isn’t it.

I use Mint, with little customization.

Mint basically gets out of my way, I care about the ability to get my work done.

I also prefer the windows paradigm rather than the Mac paradigm. IMHO Mint does it better than windows now.

I run mint 22.1 and have a 9070xt.

I used mainline to install kernel 6.14, works flawlessly.

Mint Cinnamon.

It’s easy, stable and gets out of my way.

I haven’t seen the need to dostro hop for years.

Easy fix, stop doing studies. The problem will just disappear.

We can’t have dirty ethnics hanging around now can we.

For you, the day the IDF graced your camp was the most important day in your life, but for me? It was Tuesday.

Cantonese food is the best in my opinion. Not the westernised shit, the traditional greatness.

Very effective.

The RAM section with the hand woven memory modules is so awesome. 1kb of RAM; tiny iron rings with fine copper wires threaded through them.

In the compsci building at uni, there is a museum of sorts in the hall to the labs. At the beginning of the storage section, there is a 20Mb storage device. It is the size of a washing machine, I have no idea how much it weighs, but it has to be in the 100’s of kg range.

Sitting on top are much more modern devices, 5.25"/3.5"/2.5" drives; I haven’t been back for a decade to know if they kept going as tech improved.

Ah yes appeal to authority. There is a reason this is a well understood fallacy; assuming something is true (or false) because the speaker says it is flawed.

There are places in the world that don’t have the death penalty…just sayin

I’m doing my part
