i feel like i've been denied everything the moment i was born
my father was the least favorite of his known (and unknown) brothers, that much he says.
my family always treated us like others,

growing up with FARC stories and named after a communist hero i always wanted to be a soldier.

going through my teenage years i tried so hard to fit in a mold that wasn't made for me, i got to associate femininity with bourgeois behaviour due to me getting bullied out of my own feminity

i used to stare at quinceañera dresses daydreaming of my own quinceañera party

i wanted to be a mother, to be a woman, to be a soldier, everything i've ever wanted has always been denied to me.

and then my mother who kept stopping me from joining military school kicks me out for wearing a skirt.

i see my cousins who my grandfather loved more achieving all of this and the only thing i have left for me is violence, all i have is the dream of one day taking my enemy's life

>gender-neutral equivalent of niece/nephew
My dictionary says niece applies to both. You may also use nibling. Also please don't talk about transmedicalism like it's a foregone conclusion. Not every transhumanist wants to wear dresses when they're in kindergarten and biology doesn't make people become dysphoric, especially not natal hormones, which is why it's wild to me liberals have been pushing this form of calvinian predestination at every opportunity. Normoids probably aren't ready for this conversation, about how the horrors of cissiety can make someone trans, but in this particular case i blame defensive gays and their "born this way" rhetoric.

>>5042
>liberals
Projections. Liberals are usually butthurted by transmedicalism.
>biology doesn't make people become dysphoric
Studies show the opposite.
Literally wherever you read, a transgender brain will differ from a cis brain. Either in the direction of the opposite sex, or in its structure being completely different from that of either men or women.
>Not every transhumanist wants to wear dresses when they're in kindergarten
The brain and hormonal levels of girls and boys before puberty don't differ significantly, so dysphoria typically only manifests after puberty. Although many may notice signs of transness in early childhood, without experiencing dysphoria.

>>5043
>>biology doesn't make people become dysphoric
>Studies show the opposite.
Correlation =/= Causation sucka
Reminds me of those ridiculous debates we had about determining the age of consent from "brain development".
>Liberals are usually butthurted by transmedicalism.
It's the main framework of transness for the liberal state, along with medicating dysphoria and le freedom to pronouns. This is how you get to the psychopathologizing and HRT gatekeeping practiced by even the most "liberal" trans healthcare.

SSEEDIT

I already nodded my Skyrim heavily for the combat by removing perks that gave npcs arbitrarily high magicka regeneration and removed a bunch of spells from mages who didnt specialize in certain fields of magic

This is more of a world building problem than a gameplay problem. But gameplay should come first, the world building should be created after the fact.

I don't even see how you could implement magic in a game that's more complex than what you get in something like D&D or just being superpowers with an occult theme. Real life magical/occult practices are usually subtle and free form in how they're supposed to work. It's something I only see working narratively.

>>45026
WRONG. No gameplay loop no matter how perfect is worth anything if the world you play in is boring as shit

CANNABIS AND SIRIUS
Posted on October 24, 2012

There is evidence that cannabis is not native to the earth. It is the only plant in existence that displays its gender physically. You also have the fact that cannabis just appears out of nowhere in the fossil record and history about 12000 years ago. there are no evolutionary predecessors to be found. also, cannabis dna structure is unique from any other plant. the closest genetic relative that can be found on the planet is…the strawberry! Also, Take a look at the word cannabis. Ever wonder what it means? Cannabis is a Greek word, though its root is African. In Greek, canna means ‘canine’ or ‘dog’ and bis or bi is the number two. So cannabis is the ‘two dog plant’! That in itself is interesting to me. But the pot thickens.

There is a cannabis-loving tribe in Mali, West Africa called the Dogon tribe. A fairly well-documented group, the Dogons were visited by Herodotus, a Greek traveler and chronicler, around 300 BC. He was fortunate enough to

have visited the Dogons during a year-long celebration that took place every 50 years. Explaining their celebration, the Dogons pointed to the brightest star in the Winter sky, Sirius, and said it was the ‘Two-Dog Star’ and that it was the home of the ‘two-dog plant’, cannabis. The two-dog plant, they said, was brought to our planet from the Goddess from the Two Dog Star. Their yearlong celebration was in honor of that star.



All of this would be easy to dismiss if not for the fact the Dogons possessed specific knowledge about the Sirian system for thousands of years before scientists with modern telescopes and equipment could catch up and prove them right. The Dogons had specific knowledge about Sirius B, a white dwarf star, which they call Po Tolo. They knew that it was white, that it was extremely small, and that its the heaviest star in its grouping. They were able to describe its elliptical orbit with Sirius A, its 50 year orbital period, and the fact that the star rotated on its own axis. Sirius B is invisible to the naked eye abd is so difficult to observe, even through a telescope, no pictures were taken until 1970.

They also described a third star in the Sirius system, which they called Emme Ya. In 1995, when two French astronomers published the results of a multi-year study that was apparently a small, red dwarf Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Yeah I mean I watched the show when I was a kid and that really encouraged me turn the fucking TV off and pick up a book. With material analysis (or an understanding of archaeology) they would have to be skeptical of or critique their conclusions but they can't and won't do that, it's an intellectual dead-end.
What infuriates me the most about the show is how they dismiss some of the greatest early human achievements, architecture, language, religions, art, even calendar making, as being given to dumb dumb retard ancient people who probably couldn't grow their own crops without divine intervention. It's almost as bad, maybe worse than, believing in the garden of Eden and the fall of man.
It really shows the vanity of modern humans to think people of past were too stupid to do anything by themselves.

>>286

However, the Dogon tribe is one of my favorites, and the most plausible ancient aliens theory

Idk the show gives me and my schizo dad something to talk about I guess, though it freaks him out if I talk too much about gnosticism or evolution lmfao
Also I find the religiosity and devotion to belief in aliens and UFOs to be astonishing. The way my dad talks about them, and his belief, is almost exactly how he talks about Christ, it's fucking insane

>the witcher has literal elven commandos waging protracted people's war against racist humans which want to exterminate them and their battle cry is "humans to the sea"

What did Andrzej Sapkowski mean by this?

>>46878
I don't know about that, but I stopped watching when the second episode had that obvious Palestine/Israel metaphor and his solution was to tell the Palestinians they need to accept that Israel took their land and they need to move on and find somewhere else to live now.

> In 1240, Geralt is hired to investigate grain thefts in Posada, and is followed by Jaskier the bard. They encounter a Sylvan named Torque, who knocks them unconscious and takes them to his mountain cave. There, Geralt meets Filavandrel, the elven king, and urges him to lead his people to better lands after being banished by the humans. Instead of killing them, Filavandrel frees Geralt and Jaskier, taking the witcher's words to heart.

>>46879
Better summary:
>Jaskier and Geralt awaken to find themselves bound and harassed by Toruviel, an elf who is sick. Filavandrel, king of the elves, reveals that he had the Sylvans steal food and medicine for them to help their sick and starving populace, driven out from their homes by force. This confuses Jaskier, who thought the elves graciously left the land to retire to "golden" palaces, when in actuality they were simple caves.

>Geralt advises Filavandrel to move elsewhere and to rebuild if he refuses to integrate with humans, and claims not to be human, so Filavandrel lets him go. Geralt leaves his bounty with the elves in thanks, and Jaskier sings a new song he created from the experience while Geralt follows behind him.

>>46879
>>46880
Yeah, I don't know how it plays out yet but in the book Triss the sorceress is sick and they stop at a way station to try and get help. There's a bunch of merchant wagons held up there because the guard fort got attacked, and Geralt walks in on an argument between a racist knight that wants to exterminate all non humans and a few other humans that are basically saying the non humans are rebelling for legitimate reasons. They go on to say
>they're not bandits but "commando" (a gnome loan word) units
<the racist knight says the evil empire is using them to cause trouble
>their battle cry is "humans to the sea"
<humans are outsiders to this setting after some kind of reality convergence dumped people and creatures from various different realities here

So far it's been a bunch of stilted dialogue and kind of tedious scenes but now I'm kind of intrigued.

I was thinking more of BD releases, streaming is a crapshoot yeah. It really depends on where the download is sourcing from, I'd guess it probably is upscales of a broadcast version in most cases. I just don't think it's *always* gonna be the case.

This might not sound that impressive, but i've just managed to get program-agnostic rio-style window creation working flawlessly in FVWM. Previously it was a flickery, unreliable mess of xdotool commands, but now it's spawning every window iconified, hooking into the window creation event to set geometry from my rectangle selection program and deiconifying it to its correct position.

If you could keep track of all terminals and from which one a particular program is spawned, you might be able to reach true rio emulation closer than even the plan9port version.

Desktop and window management general, i guess.

To avoid confusion, this is my private dmenu fork, which doesn't do menus or suggestions. I reduced it to a simple prompt.

>>31661
after reading OP again, I didn't notice back then, but I don't think you should be using fvwm or xdotool at all. a barebones x11 wm is like 300 lines of c, and you could implement one with these features in, I would say, 500 lines if you don't care about compatibility and only need it to work on your machine. the wm I used for a long time was 500 lines of zig

because to me it looks more like you are wrestling with fvwm than with the complexity of the task itself. the way to do this with barebones x would be to create windows out of the screen and only move them in when the user does the rectangle gesture

>>31664
No, you see i use a lot of FVWM featureset, like sloppy focus, cascading window placement, the anti-aliased menus and the virtual desktop stuff, which were implemented over a span of decades by a lot of smart people. Besides OP marked the point i managed to recreate the "rectangle gesture" in terms of FVWM primitives, so there are no more xdotool kludges. Maybe sometime i will publish the config and all of the helper programs as their own fvwm-based desktop. For now i will look into adding window groups 0-9 in a way the Next command understands.

I just finished writing a few functions, which can serialize and restore the position of any currently open windows and happened to find this in the manual:
<State state [bool]
>Sets, clears or toggles one of the 32 user defined states which are associated with each window. The state is a number ranging from 0 to 31. The states have no meaning in fvwm, but they can be checked in conditional commands like Next with the State condition.
Good enough for window groups, though i'm unsure how to reconcile window group inheritance with the non-exclusive nature of this attribute. Maybe i could filter using a set of states for a whopping 2^32 window groups.

Machine Learning general. So anybody here actually do any ML programming? I just installed PyTorch yesterday and actually started training some shit. It was pretty easy to get working. But… I am a dumb dumb, so I am going to go back and learn all the basics I think, because I have delusions that maybe I'll be able to do something interesting with it, but I know unless I'm really knowledgeable about it, the probability is less than zero.

I know that thread about bitching about ML is the most popular thread on /tech/ but I thought we should have a separate thread for people actually programming it.

I haven't reviewed this televised class because I'm not too interested in Ollama, but I'm assuming it's good because the guy running it caught what a breakthrough deepseek's experimental sparse attention model is

An expected result, but it does down some critiques

it's important to distinguish between non-commodified ML and its legitimate uses and LLMs and other crap the AItard corpos are trying to shove in all our holes

There are some things I don't understand about transphobes:

Why is it that when a man displays an attitude or behavior that isn't typical of his sex/gender, he's immediately treated as an incomplete man or a sissy, but when it comes to trans women, they immediately say he's a man, a complete man trying to deceive society? I mean, either do you believe that one can lose their status as a man or a woman, or do you believe that biology is absolutely binary? You can't believe in both (I mean, a eunuch should be as masculine as The Rock, but these idiots wouldn't see it that way).
Another thing I've been thinking about is this:
On the one hand, they tell a trans person that they will never be the sex they were born with, mainly because of their genes, but on the other hand, they don't care about those same genes when it comes to unnatural body modifications, like steroids, breast implants, etc. I mean, if a trans person isn't a man, then I, who am bald for example, and get a hair transplant, would cease to be bald phenotypically but not genetically. The funny thing is, if I went to a meeting of bald people, they'd kick me out even though I'm genetically bald. Unless you're a Lamarckian, the argument doesn't hold water.

By the way, many TERFs say that trans women invalidate women's suffering. This reminds me of when deaf people say that those who use hearing aids invalidate their suffering. And let's not even talk about conservatives who claim to protect children from mutilation but remain silent when discussing circumcision. KEEEK
pd. sorry the syntax im not anglo

You've correctly pointed out some of the most obvious contradictions in their hate.

It's not like they actually thought it through, though, that's what you're missing. They just say "ew people are doing unexpected things, bad bad bad" and come up with the reasons it's not okay for them to do those things later.

Most reasons that leftists are confused about shit like transphobia and racism are just the assumption that your average person engages in recreational and critical thinking exercises, comes to conclusions before speaking, etc. They don't. The average person doesn't ever think about anything unless they have to for an imminent practical reason. So, most "reasons" for transphobic behavior are created on-site the moment you ask about them and justified in reverse, from the starting point of "well I believe this so it has to have a good reason because I am good".

Anti-intellectual sentiment is extremely useful for creating a society where you can make literally any group the current scapegoat whenever you want by simply saying "trust your vibes bro, aren't they sus?", and this sentiment does indeed successfully pervade the entirety of modern culture. Hence, no thinking.

I think you can make an even stronger statement. To most people, including large swathes of the intelligentsia, the fact that sex roles are extremely socially contingent and not just some expression of sexual dimorphism, is occult knowledge. You can probably think of several ways the average cishet person is actively governed by or comes into conflict with gendered expectations, but most of them will never reach that breaking point, where they realize tens of thousands of years of social organization and conditioning have personally fucked them over. Leftyzens should already be familiar with a similar instance of this: The way liberals make up elaborate bartering scenarios in their head, without even considering the mountains of historical evidence on primitive accumulation and the active maintenance of private property. The process itself is founded on the fact, that the overwhelming majority of actors are ignorant of its existence or impotent to change it.

Transphobia is politics. Not biology, not sociology, not science.
There is literally no alternative to the mainstream right-wing agenda. Liberals with their myriad genders only make things worse for the trans community.

transphobes' whole ideology is retarded. it's based on an incomplete and oversimplified version of biology that happens to align very closely with the religions they tend to follow

Hey, /leftypol, do you blame Ryuk or Light more for… y'know, ~130000 dead lumpens, a few dozens dead glowies&cops, a dozen dead porkies, one dead Anime George Bush (accidentally based?), couple of dead exploited orphans and a wave of worldwide fascisation?

>>29465
Asking because I was having an argument with a friend a couple of days ago about whenever or not Ryuk should be considered a villain. He was arguing that Ryuk is not a villain, while I was arguing that he is.

I was arguing that Ryuk literally started everything out of nothing but his own enterntainment and actually basically preyed on Light and ruined Light's life, on which my friend replied that Ryuk is a neutral semi-divine force that both does not and can not abide by the human morals and Light is not a victim in any real sense and should be primarily blamed himself for his own corruption. In the end, we had only agreed on that Ryuk can be seen as villain or not, depending on if one interprets him as malicious or ignorant of humans in the beginning of the story.

>>29467
Anyone who thinks Ryuk isn't a villain is deranged. That's like saying it's a morally neutral act to give a loaded gun to a toddler.

>>29468
>>29467
I agree. Ryuk has worked with other humans in the past with that note. He would’ve known what would’ve happened if one went overboard and did nothing. Either he’s evil or he’s a dumbass but there’s no in between.

>>29468
Honestly the idea that the [supernaturally/technologically, depending on the setting] beings cannot possibly be held to the same moral (god, I hate that word) standards as "mere" mortals smells lovecraftianism. And I am almost sure that Lovecraft had subconsciously birthed that idea to rationalise his own KKK-tier racism. You know, "Columbus' fleet was Ctulhu for the Taino people".

Zootopia doesn't directly map Western race themes into their setting, at least with any cohesiveness or consistency, but does sprinkle in plenty of references to it, perhaps to signal that a distinct but similar social categorization causes tension in their setting.
But I think it's fun to playfully extend the metaphor anyway.

Let's start with Nick's (purported) transspecies son.

Watching Mighty Nein. I'm so fucking tired of fantasy settings that are way too similar to the modern world. Just constant quipping from autistic nerds who suck at humor and dialogue that's indistinguishable from IRL today. It would even be fine if it was contained to 1-2 characters but not the whole fucking world.
