AggressivelyPassive

I see that problem also in a kind of “contact guilt” in certain topics.

That is, if there’s any polarized issue, there’s always the liberal/left/progressive position with extremely clear boundaries to what is acceptable to even discuss. And then there’s the vast conservative-fascist spectrum. If any problem arises within that issue, even mentioning it is immediately labeled as outside of the acceptable part, simply out of fear that this could be used as a wedge against the liberal position.

That in turn alienates people, they see an actual problem and the liberal side either ignores the problem or says it’s fascist. And the actual problem never gets solved or even tackled, simply because nobody wants to touch it.

This leads to a situation where for a whole bunch of people the fascists seem downright reasonable and then the radicalization pipeline kicks in and suddenly they think Hitler might not be such a bad guy after all.

So essentially, the left feeds the right gullible people out of fear they might legitimize some of their points.

Just an example from Germany: when the first wave of Syrian refugees came to Germany in 2015, they were greeted with literally open arms. Great thing. But if you let about a million people into the country, you also need about 500k new apartments for them, the bureaucracy has to be capable of processing everything, language courses have to be expanded drastically, job trainings have to be organized, etc etc. A whole bunch of problems.

Now, what happened? Nothing. There was great fanfare, the local governments did their best, but nothing substantive happened. Nobody talked about it, because that might fuel the existing resentments. Nobody tackled the problems. And within a few months, we had tens of thousands of young men, who had nothing to do, were not allowed to work, were completely alone and had no money or social safety net. Well, of course a bunch of them turned criminal, which then fueled the resentment even more, because suddenly the fascists actually had what they hoped for: criminal foreigners. Even if the actual problem was tiny, it was the spark that ignited the fascist resurgence.

Unfortunately, the current finance minister is really that stupid.

Absolute braindead wannabe neoliberal.

Fake news! We should ask Ukraine for peace talks! Otherwise we might provoke Putin!!

Half an Apple a day keeps the IDF away!

No.

Interoperability is only required, if you have a significant market share. Apple does not have this in the EU. iMessage specifically doesn’t fall under this regulation, since hardly anyone uses it.

And since Apple plans to publish an SDK for their intelligence anyway, you can’t really regulate them for being too closed.

So either that’s a purely political retaliation, or their “super privacy friendly” services aren’t as privacy friendly as they claim.

Using the Rabbit R1 instead of generic ML was too obvious.

They also stated they won’t attack Ukraine.

SSH, OpenSSL, LibreSSL, pf …

There’s not a single web server without some code from them. Every single phone, every Linux machine, and probably even Windows (citation needed) ships with some of these tools.

And you didn’t hear a thing, because the OpenBSD guys just sport a smug smile and don’t care about our plebian fame.

I don’t think it’s validation in the sense we normies felt. For regular, sane men it’s more of a fitting in and being desirable kind of validation, women do the same in that age.

For him and other powerful people (but also some regular men) it’s a power thing. Many powerful people are narcissists, and they live constantly under the dissonance of illusion of grandeur and inferiority complex. Essentially forcing their will onto others is a way to mitigate the latter.

Especially in terms of “legally not rape” charges, even the average man has to face terrifyingly few consequences. So many women report assaults, unwanted aggressive advances and “not exactly consensual kinds of intercourse” without the men ever facing anything serious, not even stigma. Banging blackout drunk girls is a sport for some people.

Truth is, it works often enough that they’ll keep trying.

Whether it’s fear, greed, or actual attraction doesn’t matter to them, in their world they scored a win.

The AI will take care of it.

No humans, no hunger.

The OpenBSD folks are a weird bunch. Literally the entire Internet is built on top of their tools and libraries, and they just ignore the fame and keep dwelling in their basements.

Club Mate. Not too sweet, loads of caffeine and looks cool.

Also, you can feel superior to the plebs that don’t understand the complex “wet ashtray” flavors.

On the other hand: most cars are not moved 23h a day. They just stand around.

A lightweight solar panel could be a worthwhile range extender in at least some climates.

I would suspect, hardly anyone who knows how to do that is stupid enough to do it.

Most modems/ISP routers are relatively secure by default.

Show me a single person that uses these tools exclusively and does not care about updating their machine.

And even then: ssh does have vulnerabilities. Email clients also usually render HTML, which means they have a browser engine under the hood.

• “How do lesbians have physical fun time?”

Ok, that one I don’t understand.

It takes line 10s of adult research to find a whole range of possibilities.

Many women seem to assume that penis and balls are attached actually between the legs, just like where their vaginas are. They are surprised, if they’re told, the whole assembly is actually more “at the front”.

The reverse is also true, BTW. A lot of boys struggle finding the vagina because from their perspective it’s waaay too low.

We barely understand our own bodies, it’s not surprising that we have problems with other sexes bodies.

Jet pee can’t melt steel bike frames!
