Should I drop aspirations of being a conservationist? I find myself lucky enough to be able to go back for a second degree and have wanted to get a degree in biology since before I finished my first, entirely unrelated to that field (though much more marketable), degree. Everyone seems to be in love with environmental rape and collapse now and I can't muster much hope in regards to the importance of futilely trying to keep the various floundering ecologies of the world afloat anymore.

I'd resigned myself to the truth of environmental collapse but reading daily about how America has decided to kill another endangered species, actively, entirely without any remorse, has become more than I can handle.

I don't want to be doing shit in an office 'till I die, but I don't know if going back to follow what I'm actually interested and passionate about will yield much fruit, if any at all.

Growing up I would see villains in fiction whose ideologies are so retarded that it de-immersed me from what I was reading, but as an adult I've come to realize that reactionaries are simply like that and have podcasts and substacks where they say so plainly.

Transexualism is the capitalist expression of people who want to change their sex. It has only been able to exist in capitalism since it is only now we can change our sex. Before now there have only been "3rd sexes" or genders such as the Hijra. But these are patriarchal constructs and represent pre-modern economic forms. We should defend them when they are under threat from reactionary, patriarchal, or imperialist forces, but they are not what we should aspire towards. Transexualism is bourgeois in the positive way, but like capitalism itself it has become necessary almost since the day it started existing, and now we must move forward.

Transexualism cannot be resolved in capitalism (or at least it can't be in the modern day) because there will always be people who cannot access sex change resources such as bottom / top surgery, hormones and for trans women FFS, which are all necessary. Even in the hypothetical most 'accepting' world ever where everyone has their gender respected these necessary things cannot be given to everyone because there will always be colonized people since capitalism requires imperialism. Trans welfare will never be able to be shared to everyone, and today things like FFS remain achievable only to the bourgeois and the highest section of the working class, leaving most trans women to suffer.

Transgenderism is a pysop in order to prevent the movement to resolve the contradiction of sex. It takes away the truly revolutionary demand for sex change / abolition with a phony acceptance, which is really just harmful. Gender is a patriarchal idea. Toxic woke stabs me in the back worse than others do because to them the end goal is me being unable to complete my transition. It is pure bourgeois idealism that must be combatted in order to achieve true revolutionary transexualism. It is even more harmful to non-binary people because only through surgery will others actually perceive them as non-binary. They are trapped by CIA idealists in their biologically sexed bodies.

Revolutionary transexualism understands that now we have the technology to resolve the contradiction of sex, and the only issue is that it is not distributed fairly. We must dismember the bourgeois imperialists and expropriate and extract their body modifications to share with the people. Sacrifice the oppressors on the altar to progress and let us be free as we are splashed by the blood from their still-beating heart. Gender idealism must also be Post too long.

So, i realized i want to be a mom a while ago, which had me crying a lot for days til i spoke to a therapist, and my endocrinologist.

And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks

and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in México- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of México to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

I wish this were true. It’s become more a thi mg amongst postboomer folk even outside of the Anglosphere. Interestingly enough though, misopediacs also are fond of childrens media, especially from their own childhood era

>why does anyone want to have kids?

I want the opportunity to be a loving mother, and start a family with the man i love; he has helped me grow a lot and i'm sure he'll be a great father as well.

Everyone says this and end up being fuckups as parents in some way.
Seriously, whatever happened to having homesteading training in youth?

Two wrongs dont make a right. Also, cishet parents are getting alot of flak for fucking up, but nobody wants to put their foot down with some sociolegal amendment.

Again, children are not toys. Why is it that society will ban or restrict industrial or recreational equipment due to consequent tragedies but when it comes to childrearing they dont?

>my friend is an adopted child and she just had her baby, i'm not scratching off that option, i just really wanna do this first, why nobody questions cis-straights for not adopting?

Again, cishets are also criticsed for not considering adoption.

Again, you seem to think children are some vanity project. This is exactly why we have so many fucked up kids. And in this global economy?

Playing Stalker Anomaly because Stalker 2 is apparently anti-soviet and piece of shit in general

>>45195
I played it for the first time about 6 months ago. Got the "bad" ending and was then too lazy to go back and keep playing for the other endings. It felt like a weird cross between Half Life 1 and Fallout 3. It was very linear, but also kind of "open world." There's factions but it's super easy to permanently piss them off. Duty was on my ass every time I was in the Bar area and I had to save scum and keep killing them until there was a mountain of corpses outside the bar. I didn't like all the backtracking to do side quests, which for me is the main thing I usually do in games like this. I did like the realism of the firefights which was ahead of its time. Guns felt correctly inaccurate from a distance and taking out random unaligned stalkers in their little hideouts was riveting. The anomalies were sometimes interesting but usually really annoying. I found myself selling the artifacts instead of wearing them, because I preferred to have a lot of guns and health packs.

You probably might want to skip Clear Sky if you didn't totally fall in love with the first game, but Call of Pripyat improves upon SoC in almost every aspect, I swear. The basic idea of the game and mostly the engine is the same of course.

While I find your analysis of the game pretty much accurate, I don't even know why but I think STALKER is my favorite game series ever? I've spent 140 hours in SoC alone. I think it's the atmosphere. And mods make the games more open-world so you can waste away days playing

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.

>Filters shouldn't be costly.
Well, if we're using LLMs at all they would be from the user perspective.

>They likely can't. This is why you give users the options to configure these filters, because it allows them to do aggressive filtering at their own risk.

This tracks, it's a good idea. Having two tiers of filtering, one for basic federation (meeting basic social standards of the fediverse) and another tier with per instance filtering you could make it federate well, at least on the level of the Group. I also like the idea that sense we're working with trees of a single inReplyTo link per post you can go ahead and hide entire trees at once. Making bump ordering work with this is a tractable problem.

Went ahead and got the creation of Note and Article objects, and the display of the catalog done today with the help of "opencode". No file attachments at the moment of thread pages. Had to replace the >!spoiler!< syntax with the more contemporary ||spoiler|| so that the quotes would parse correctly.

Today had opencode add the thread posts, I didn't really like the way it structured the model code so I had to fix this.

Had another idea: a "difficult" POW for newly created accounts. This is roughly equivalent to banning everyone by default and having a default ban length. With this you could have actual user Actors instead of just the Group, but purely optional usernames, and still have bans that make some sense. Sort of think I no longer have the energy to dedicate to this project. Might just wait for the LLMs to get good enough to write this themselves.

Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson to the point where they make defending him from all his abuse allegations a political issue?

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).

Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.

And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.

So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?

You’re forgetting that Osama Bin Ladens family were business associates of George Bush’s family.
The whole 9/11 theory about it being a military operation is a common open discussion and there’s been televised specials about it.
I think it’s copium about being assailed by a foreign entity especially since the 1990s was marked by terrorist acts from domestic people.

They aren't controversial, pretty much every lefty and commie will tell you AmeriKKKans can't into space and September 11 was CIA's doing or they let it happen. Bring actually controversial stuff like China giving up on socialism after Mao died o algo.

Statistical likelihood of cumulative signs. Things like having nerdy interests (possibly due to isolation from normal society), being knowledgable about non-superstructural political subjects like architecture and logistics (possibly because they feel no fun in discussing culture war shit due to being on the chopping block) or being fasionably dressed (possibly due to giving up on fitting in because merely being in an especially marginalized demographic means simply dressing and acting normal isn't enough), etc…

These are also signs of being non-white too though, which is why it's easier to clock queer white people than others.

That is why the quality of the dubbing could vary widely, for instance you could end up with a group of unemployed actors from North Carolina dubbing your anime.

Yeah it's been the topic of discussion last month. Honestly it feels like something unfinished or even discarded because it's Itachi levels of retcon given V1C1 having Cinder basically try to kill Ruby. The rest feels like its directly ripping from Final Fantasy and the Life Current / Corrupted Life Current. The Medea base also just really doesn't track with the Cinder(ella) naming and story basis.
I find the Atlesian scientist-mom theory for Cinder far more interesting and unfulfilled.

Use Dillo. It only has ~80,000 lines of code. That's smaller than some terminal browsers, even. Firefox and Chromium are like operating systems w/ 10s of millions of lines of code. That's why compiling Firefox on Gentoo is a fucking nightmare. With Dillo, it just takes a few seconds. And minus the proprietary js attack surface since it comes without it because it's a legacy browser with its own engine instead of using Google/Apple like Otter browser or Suckless Surf.

i'm not using a browser called dildo

for a web browser to be called a "web browser" it needs to be able to browse the web. dillo cannot browse 99% of what is known today as "the web", therefore it is no longer a web browser. see how that works?

This is the stupidest way you could pitch Dillo, but it's been a while since I've tried Dillo, so I'll see if it has ublock style filters and javascript whitelisting yet.

You also posted this on Kiwifarms and it wasn't funny there either

How do we feel about academic elites stealing the music of Woodie Guthrie and turning it into Democratic Party woke intersectional feminist propaganda?

Should we show up at this event and counter it’s message by showing how Guthrie was a working-man first and foremost who hated liberals?

<The Clive Davis Institute is the first and only program of its kind to provide professional business and artistic training toward a BFA in Recorded Music. We aim to provide students with the necessary skills — business, creative, and intellectual — so that they might emerge as visionary creative entrepreneurs in the evolving global music industry.
<We encourage students to develop innovative musical ideas and envision new music business models, work collaboratively, cultivate both intellectual rigor and a willingness to experiment artistically, and to assume leadership roles in the art and commerce of creating and selling recorded music.

I'm pretty sure that Guthrie would have self-described as a feminist. Maybe not a Democrat, tho

what are some games that you think that insist upon themselves?
8 posts omitted.

Portal 2.

Portal had an ominous atmosphere with Aperture Science largely being a mystery, with it being uncertain whether they were as unethical as the test chambers would suggest or whether it's a result of GlaDOS taking over.
Portal 2 completely destroys that mystery by repeatedly insisting upon itself that Aperture Science was extremely unethical.. but only out of stupidity, then Valve makes Aperture Science a self-insert for their 9001 VR tech demos.

I get they weren't going to get through a much longer game without some kind of story that elaborates on Aperture Science, but the writers made every single aspect of Aperture Science goofy and wacky and lol robots ftw.

And then they had the barefaced cheek, the fucking bollocks, to complain that "the cake is a lie" was overdone, unfunny and had to be excluded from their wackiness.

All Final Fantasy games. I haven't played a single one which ddn't have a totally ridiculous story. All Persona games too for that matter. 200 fucking hours of high school cringe dialogue simulaton stuffed with the most boring combat system ever made by any human being.

The government contracting a private military company, a PMC that is largely made up of 18 year olds who are fresh out of school, under immense crippling debt that they will likely never pay off, in order to send them off to liberate newly enemy occupied territories that have been seized from the state?

Thats how good psyop works though. People don't come for the propaganda, but they leave with at least their unconscious mind changed.

Honestly, I'd argue that the first three Modern Warfare games, Black Ops and even Infinite Warfare are appreciable because they portray all sides as being filled with violent psychos willing to kill for their cause. The only real difference is that the Americans win in the end, but they're never really presented as morally superior. The remakes on the other hand are frankly crap because they try to inject a sense of moral complexity, but it just doesn't work.

Wtf is "save rooms irl"

bazinga

>>47402
Decoration style with emphasis on candles, wooden crates and old-timey typewriters. Usually soothing background music is listened while drinking red cocktails or taking a nap in such spaces.

>>47399
I can see how "Kishotenketsu" is pretentious if you just mean to say a "story without a villain". The "engine grain" refers to how games made in the same engine tend to look similar, especially if devs don't fiddle much with the defaults, and I think it's an OK word. One must have a super-human sensing for when people are being pretentious if that word triggers something, though I can imagine such a person existing. But "invisible walls" is just self-explanatory. And "sound chip", wtf?

>>47420
doesn't 'sound chip' refer to older consoles that had a dedicated sound card, like the sega genesis' yamaha ym2612?
