I don't give a fuck about your gender.

I seriously don't care what your pronouns are, you don't need them, no-one needs them. I barely even care what your name is. I don't care what you have in your pants unless you want me to touch it. This shit is an absolute waste of time and I only tolerate it because the patriarchal status quo is fucking poison and these coping mechanisms might help a few aching people.

Act how you want. Just don't expect me to accept society's genderist delusion. Masculinity is a spook. Femininity is a spook. You're looking for something lying underneath those labels - not the labels themselves.

The latter is very observable, the former is less so.

As a Trans women I do agree that gender dysphoria is partially oversocialized/"unnatural" but it is also to some extent heritable and neurodevelopmental

I avoid them, and I tell people they can refer to me by any pronouns, as long as it's not intended as an insult. I legally identify as enby on forms without custom options.
And I'm surprised to hear your preconceived assertions of other people's gender in a queer space - immediately /legbutt/s here have asserted I'm male, and hetero, and binary. This habitual identity assumption on an anonymous IB is absolute /pol/ brainworms that are tragic to see alive here.

I only use gendered pronouns for a couple of trans friends who specifically requested some, as they see neutral pronouns as invalidating. And I care about my relationship with them more than dying on this ghostbusting hill. I politically disagree, but that's an important part of their worldview.

>neurodevelopmental differences between males and female
Can you give a QRD on this?

language isn't just purely descriptive though, language dictates thought as much as thought dictates language, people think with language not just communicate with it. that's why some people are more passionate about pronouns, they're not just being anal and quibbling over semantics, they're refining language and thought to more accurately represent reality, which is a pretty normal and common thing, it's how languages evolve is by lots and lots of people continuously revising it and inventing new words or rejecting old words or reassigning words to different meanings etc. in any case it's not really hurting you to have to hear people talk about this stuff and nobody really cares whether or not you tolerate it or the reasons why, you're not everyone's dad who has the authority to decide to let it slide for now because it might help a few aching people, nobody is awaiting your approval on this.

Instead of calling to "abolish the family", we should promote single-parent families which inherently rely on consuming socialized production of goods and services more than multi-parent families. Single-parent families drive up demand, are more profitable and develop the productive forces.

from where i sit in america it seems to me like the family already was abolished a long time ago. this whole thing we got going on where it's just two self-centered parents trying to groom their kids for conformity and success like they're show dogs and pushing them out the door at age 18 and leaving their own parents to die alone in some dirty derelict house or a nursing home, people value money and status and ideology more than their own flesh and blood, that's not a family. and it's not good, not having strong family ties makes people weaker, more helpless and isolated and easier to control, there's a reason why america's ruling class systematically destroyed the white family after the great depression, why they destroyed the black family after the civil rights movement, family is the most fundamental unit of social organization, you break up the family and people have nothing.

It comes from the mind, not the weapon. You already have weapons on you, your hands, yet your mind is the source of the evil intent.

>>1582
The goal is the experiment. The neverending testing out of outcomes. Weapon manufacturing is downstream from this. The Serpentigena highjacked the game and now it's a boring sad state. They are like autistic minecraft mods who have nothing better to do than to mess with everyone else. But those outside the domain know this. I out of curiosity decided to try out this domain. When I understood it, I felt at peace. Everything will be alright in the end. The divine spark within you cannot be defeated.

>>1585
Literal evil is attempt to destroy the divine spark or hatred of the "monad" and therefore truth. It's not mutually exclusive to materialism or idealism, but pure idealism and pure materialism are evil because they hate the truth.

>>1586
Sons of Cain is a kabbalistic concept where the snake had offspring with eve (Cain) vs the offspring of adam and eve (Abel) In that the Sons of Cain hold themselves to be of a different origin than the rest of humanity. It's code for "we are the sons of the serpentigena". I don't believe this, but they do. They also think they came from 'atlantis'. I.e. that civilization of the serpentigena here on earth 730,000 years ago was 'atlantis'. They are not, they are an invention of antiquity, going back to carthage, phoenicia and similar civilizations.

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism. It’s completely impossible to make Windows secure, there’s no secret registry switch. The entire thing is compromised top to bottom, and under no circumstances should anyone consent to its use. Closed source spyware monopolies are a weapon of war against us by the bourgeois state.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Do we really believe a windows update will just drop after some election that restores our rights, trust, openness, privacy and dignity? It must be built and owned by the people.

I didn't say rust or go, I said applescript. Just because everyone could learn how to write a "real" language doesn't mean they should have to. Everyone could learn full mathematical notation too, but sometimes you meet them where they are.

>>34084

the point i'm trying to make isn't really about what is a "real" language and what isn't or how easy or hard a language is to learn or any of that, what i'm really talking about is guardrails that lock you into a certain paradigm. applescript is a very clear and obvious example and you can see what it's about right there in the name - a language designed to lock developers into apple's ecosystem and only think and write language the apple way™, so that they cannot use their knowledge in a way that apple does not approve of. a person who uses applescript isn't just a developer, they are an apple developer, their code only works on apple's hardware, if they quit or get fired from apple their knowledge of applescript becomes worthless to them, they can't reuse their code or their ideas anywhere else without completely rethinking and rewriting it from scratch. apple has all the power and the workers have none. google and mozilla's languages basically do the same thing but in a less obvious and less proprietary way, they have hardcoded artificial guardrails in place so that developers are not free agents who can do their work in many possible ways and make their own decisions, they are like slot cars on a track which can only travel along certain predesignated paths. it's like the difference between a well-paid high-agency salesperson who gets paid on commission and has complete discretion as to how to approach the client and convince them to buy, versus a low-paid low-agency salesperson at a telemarketing agency or something who just gets a shitty $8 an hour wage and has to just sit at an autodialing terminal and read from a script verbatim at hundreds of random people all day. the owner and managerial class want to turn every kind of job into the latter kind of job, where they have all the power and the worker is just a monkey that pushes a button and gets a banana.

>>34085
We are talking across purposes. applescript isn't some internal thing, it's an (underloved) consumer-facing product. you are on sounder ground with identifying it a form of vendor lock-in, but its primary purpose was to allow you to script stuff on the desktop with an intuitive syntax (e.g. a valid applescript instruction is "tell application Firefox to quit") although you can do a lot more than that. It is not too difficult to imagine an open, cross-platform language on similar principles (particularly if you weaken the desktop automation element and make a pure scripting language, or outsource interaction with local applications to some kind of extension). It would be actively undesirable to use such a language in a corporate environment (it is inherently too verbose.) but actively desirable for empowering end users.

I am not particularly concerned with enabling programmers to approach problems from whatever angle they like. so long as the language is turing complete, my primary concern is allowing non programmers to approach the problem from at least one angle. To the general proletarianisation of programmers i stand by my original point. Those who thought knowing C made them a superior class of artisan producer who doesn't need any leftist meddling suddenly come to find that in reality they're as, if not more, replaceable than the janitor. A learning experience.

Heaven is for people who know the secret answer

Only people who know the answer and live meaningful lives can go to Heaven and Paradise. It's not even about what relegion you follow. You have to be authentic and tell the truth or else you cannot find the Truth because the Truth hides from the liars, the hypocrites and the "nice" people. "nice" guys and "nice" girls are liars and deserve to reincarnate in purgatory until they face themselves and admit loudly what they are and what they want. Bunch of nothingbags. Their god is "nice" but not the real God himself.

The people who go to Hell are the people who have no way to follow and are hedonistic nihilists. It is only logical, because they don't beleive in Heaven so there is no Heaven for them. They live to only be contrarians so they are the satan and they go to Hell of the relegion they oppose. Bunch of cows. Hell is for ridiculers and nihilist cowards.

It's like polotics, if you don't know you do. But if you don't, then you have to shut up about it don't we.

all of this implies free will and people getting what they deserve but we see in practice that the brain makes caused decisions, based on things beyond its control, like its composition and environmental stimuli, and not the uncaused decisions of the "free will". For example if you have a brain damaged child and they begin slamming their head against the wall because they are brain damaged, and nobody stops them, they accumulate even more brain damage. They are not really in a position to make "good" decisions. Does this person go to hell? No they are just an individual with brain damage. There are obviously more subtle forms of damage stopping people from making "Good" decisions. Some of these can seem more "self imposed" than others but at the end of the day even our "bad choices" are a result of our unchosen brain composition and environmental stimuli. Peoples "choices" therefore aren't free and the main pretense of religion is to get over this scary fact by pretending true justice is possible and everyone gets what they deserve through a cosmic justice system. This satisfies peoples worries but also creates a world where people are held "accountable" for things which were never really under control. Accountability is a social ritual to help people cope with the fact that the human will isn't really free by pretending that it is and punishing bodies for the behaviors of "their" brains.

uygha maybe stop playing video games and do anything else, like actually get some friends to roleplay with

>you're just bad at games.
As someone who loves challenges this got nothing to do with it.
>genres
This stuff is everywhere now, even stuff like city builders, factory builders, action-adventure, racing games, etc. As mentioned, engineering/puzzle/simulation games (can add visual novels too) are about the only ones mostly immune to this.
>>47691
>stop playing video games
This is what most video games aside from RPGs were like before the late 2000s
Adding skill trees everywhere in particular is something that started around the late 2000s/early 2010s

>Critique progression systems that invalidate key game mechanics and hide overall trivial gameplay (including bad AI and poor level design) and which is primarily added to non-RPG games because "numbers go up" has been proven to be addictive

RPG fans are touchy as fuck about their skinnerboxes, all I play nowadays are shmups, fighting games and the 3 JRPGs that contain everything you complained about in the OP but in far lesser volume.

brother do you realize how wide a net "Thinly veiled power fantasy treadmill" casts, past 95 when memory cards and battery saves where ubiquitous, most games outside of mascot platformers and puzzle games could be described more or less in those terms

I've noticed for a while now that trans people on average are much more likely to be communists or socialists. I've never really thought about it, but why could that be? I've had this image saved since early 2023 (when I started noticing this) and have seen a lot more trans communists since.
I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.

That and trans people are pretty autistic

Not a form but there's an overlap definitely

Trans people are the jews of the 21st century. Which is why btw we must oppose trans separatism because that is zionism.

Please explain further I find this interesting but there isn't really any good information on it.

Also [vid related] for archival purposes

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

a story that tied better to the black mesa incident, a much more darker atmosphere, iirc there was like a way bigger ravenholm section which has been bouncing around between remakes and episodes and idk if anyone's working on it atm, there was the whole Borealis section, a ton more weapons, you can see a lot of it on the 20th anniversary documentary but there were also a bunch of leaks around the time, concept art, scrapped content found around, alpha-beta footage from the Source 1.5 engine.

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

Algo estan cocinando. Guarden post

Argentina is a Latin American country ergo it’s a western country, so it can’t align “against the west” since it would mean having to align against itself.

And yh, since online culture has made “first world” to mean really rich countries, and “third world” really poor countries, second world is the middling one, which would fit Russia, China, Turkey, Argentina and the rest of LatAm.

>LOL BE has been crashing out over Argentina losing to Spain. Truly a chimpout.
i'd be more concerned about you simpletons forming political opinions around animosity or attachment to youtubers. you truly are american pigs feeding with slop from an algorithmic pigswill. every day i'm on this board i lose the very little faith i had in the americans to do anything except be in the way of the rest of the world

it's semi-periphereal because latam is a mixed economy of resource extraction and industrial production. nobody is a third-worldist because no one knows what these terms mean, but everyone ought to at least be familiarized with wallerstein i think

>estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable

SI

>>19225
Apuesto a que te comes toda la mierda "hispanista" y sus maromas argumentativas, porque esa es la única oposición existente al término de Latinoamericano. Una que, muy en el fondo, entraña un racismo bastante funcional para el delirante de la fantasía blanca.

wut? unless systemd somehow fucked up the traditional boot order, /var and other filesystems in fstab should be mounted after executing init

>>34171
Ah, well perhaps, know it's needed for /usr/, LVM, and cryptsetup. I used to have the former, and still use the later two. That plus the docs: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Initramfs must have confused me.

>>34172
did a quick search on the forums and apparently systemd has services depend on /var that don't specify mounting disks as a dependency, as opposed to literally any other service manager…

How can you protect yourself from a drone attack as an individual?

I know there are ways to beat drones using tech but as a foot soldier on the ground, how can you maximise your survivability?


>>6391
>but as a foot soldier on the ground,
Digging underground shelter for cover. Also placing nets between trees works. Use a shotgun as emergency solution.

you don't. that's the whole point of drones is to attack and terrorize civilians who have no anti-aircraft defense capability and no way to defend themselves. you go outside to get the mail and an RC plane blows you away and hundreds of miles away some pimple-faced teenager sitting in front of a videogame console laughs at you with doritos in his mouth and doesn't even think that it's real. all you can do is live in the sewers at this point.

Netting is the most effective thing, underground shelter won't help you if they use thermobaric rounds.

>>6391
Train your aim. (Refer to video)
