I remember when MTV had music. At a young age, I bought a NES with saved up birthday/Christmas money because it was way cooler than my moms Atarti 2600. Playing outside around the neighborhood was the normal. Roaming the mall as a teenager was standard. Hell I remember when malls regularly had lots of people. I watched the adoption of technology from a fringe thing to mainstream.

If the statistic were reversed, you’re going to tell me that you wouldn’t care?

I'd be calling bullshit still. Sensationalized "stats" for the sake of views on "news"/blogs/podcasts is nothing new and I will not subscribe to it. I'm not sure which fallacies are in play here but I suspect it's several.

If 95% of murders were committed by women? You don’t need to answer, I already know.

You really don't.

This is a thread about Rebecca Cheptegei and you bring Vance into this... something 100% unrelated and is frankly, disrespected to the deceased. The problem is, you spend way to much time on the internet/news cycle and now you have a screwed up view of reality. You need to largely disconnect from the internet for a significant period of time

That stat is entirely reductive and meaningless. And two of your answers are sexist. Not that I think you give a shit.

Domestic violence is a global issue. But you're not helping anyone by further pushing a stereotype and ignoring the problem. Do you think only cis men are capable of domestic violence? Because such a though would be bigoted in a few different ways to be honest.

News only reports like this and it skews peoples perceptions. For example, I'm a guy. This last weekend I took my friend and all her kids (all girls) out for amusement park, festival, swimming, gifts, and any food they wanted out weekend before school starts. I paid for everything. You won't find it in the news, Why'd I do it, because they moved to a new city far away from their friends so I wanted to start all the girls on a very happy note for school starting.

No one owes you examples. Men are not inherently evil and women are not inherently good. People, all people, have the capacity for both good and evil.

All operating systems suck ass. There are problems and issues with all of them. It's the same argument for programming languages. Now it's the same argument when it comes to what brand of vehicle Ford or Chevy.

Don't get hyper focused on a brand, on a label. Simply use what's best for you and your needs.

I really wanted a wife and kids. Once puberty hit, I had one goal, be the best father\husband I could be.

Put myself through college, got a good job, bought a house (specifically close to schools so they could just walk to school)... One problem... I'm clearly not attractive because everyone I dated in my 20s cheated on me. So I gave up. I've spent the last 10+ years having to constantly remind myself this. I hate it every day.

Of those options I'm going with the last one. Because you have the standard error number right there but I'm assuming that it's a customer response so the message could be modified to have something useful in it.

Ditto Pikachu is best Pikachu. And I will die on this hill.

Is hard to pick one.

Altruism is the default instead of selfishness

Cancer doesn't exist

No harm could come to children. No one would have wicked thoughts towards them. They'd fully recover from any non-lethal injury. They could get sick.

Hard to rate.

When I was a kid, I once feel out of a tree and feel on my lower back strait onto a small stump (maybe 3-4 inches across). Also, as a kid, I was jumping back and forth over a hole. We were installing basement egress windows I was jumping over the hole that was dug. This particular hole had like a water connection or something, a white pipe with a white cap. Anywho fell directly on my lower back of that too.

Some years ago I was doing an obstacle course 5K and I severely rolled my ankle, but I kept going and even did the vertical wall. It didn't hurt so much that day but it hurt like a son of a gun the next few months.

Of course one can't forget migraines. Sound hurts, light hurts, the pain that you have also hurts and there's not much you can do about it.

In high school, some girl thought it was okay and funny to repeatedly punch me in the nuts. She only stopped because her brother came out and stopped her.

I've never heard that word before so I had to look it up. Because obviously my first thought was Ned Flanders from The Simpsons.

For anyone like me here you go...

Flanderization is the process through which a complex fictional character's essential traits are oversimplified to the point where they constitute their entire personality, or at least exaggerated while other traits remain, over the course of a serial work.

It's far too early to tell. It's in early development yet. People getting invites and expecting a fully complete, polished game have unrealistic expectations.

Pwsh 7.x works very well in Linux. Haven't got any snags.

I have not... now I gotta find a video of this

Well that's fucked.

Are they providing support for the things?

Gives the user far too much control of their machine and you can accomplish a task far to easily.

It being that realistic made it a terrible choice for me.

So I did all of the medical training that had on there, which I did learn stuff from but also found out that I should never actually work in the medical field.

But because it didn't easily identify friend from foe, I kept killing my own team. Not on purpose I was just really bad at identifying friend from foe and if I saw it moved I killed it.

Otherwise it was a solid game. All the issues I had with it were with me.

I've seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.
