  • The problem is, when they start with construction noises at 8am, this is all fine and legal, but if I come back at them with vacuuming at 11pm, I'll just get a fine.

    It's ok, I run my drier at night. It's enough to be annoying and not enough for anyone to call the police.

    • You don't know the real numbers
    • All Lives Matter would've been a better protest slogan to begin with
    • Men are not trash, women are not trash, some of both are, you definitely belong in there regardless of your gender identity. You can be a non-binary trash if you prefer, but I can guarantee you're trash.
  • Certainly close enough says the expert. And then someone in the other thread explains how the legal definition is so fkd up it essentially excludes male victims. Tell me about real sexism here.

    But you know what? It shouldn't fuckin matter either way, because if it does to you, you're the problem.

  • There's a comedian who told a story, that I feel almost every guy can tell as if it was theirs..

    They had that friend in their friends group. You know, the kne always making misogynic jokes etc. Well, yeah, that guy eventually raped someone.

    You know where he says it was his, the comedian's, fault? The whole group always laughed at those jokes, or maybe didn't laugh, but definitely didn't dismiss them, didn't lecture the guy, didn't tell him it was not ok.

    There's this men's club where misogyny is an accepted business as usual. And it enables deranged individuals.

    So, as a man who's aware of the statistics, you can start doing some prevention: shame other men for misogyny.

    Oh, and btw, fuck the lady with sign. She's a petty sexist using someone's tragedy to support her hate for men.

  • And so, what's the course of action? To give all men some sterilization treatment?

    How does this help with anything?

    And, I promise you, the real numbers are probably scarily equal, just like with domestic abuse. Because men are definitely taught to never come forward with those.

    But even if the true ratio was 1:50, what's the solution? Let's write the law that when it's a man, he gets a double prison sentence. Or maybe the police shouldn't believe men who say they were assaulted, but vise-versa barely check, cuz for sure it's true?

    Criminal statistics should in no way enforce the course of justice or legislation. They could only maybe influence where money is allocated in prevention campaigns. At best.

  • Transcoding for 1080p, which is usually 6-7mbit/s, you can downsample it to 300kbits if you like. FYI, Netflix is about 2-3mbit, premium is like maybe 10.

    Transcoding is not allowed for 4k.

    4k bitrate varies from 10mbit/s to like 60-80mbit/s, so at least 100mbit link is recommended.

    Almost all new content is available both in 1080p and 4k. Some older stuff only in 4k.

  • Unpopular opinion: sub to a plex/emby server. All your favorite shows on one platform, probably in 4k too, works on all devices, you never need to think ahead about torrenting something. Mine is 10$/month.

  • Please, point out to me, in the methodology of the poll, which is provided at the bottom of the page, where is it stated that 46/49 numbers are some arbitrary chances of winning the election?

    My reading is that they're averages of other polls that are polling popular vote, e.g. simply asking "which candidate would you vote for if the elections were tomorrow?".

    But, please, I'm happy to be proven wrong.

  • Look, you can't even make a simple logical conjecture. Each of your messages has shown an utter inability of using simple first-order logic. And yet you claim to have a graduate degree in a math-related subject? Tell me more about the smell of what's coming out.

  • Meh. That exists everywhere.

    If you got a college degree you can move to a lot of places in the US which have a higher HDI and a living standard than almost anything in Europe. And you don't even need to learn a new language.

    Cry all you want about healthcare, but as a white-collar worker you'll have a corporate insurance plan and it will be lit. Try some European public healthcare afterwards, that will be a harsh downgrade, I promise.

    You do have a biiig problem is if you're uneducated and working at McDonald's or an Amazon warehouse. Cuz then you're fucked. Like for life. And don't you dare go unemployed, homeless, or get sick. Cuz, life, apparently can be worse than being an amazon slave, and apparently you won't ever "recover" (to your previous slave state) from falling that low.

    And, ofc, it's fun to live in a society like that.

    But you definitely don't need to personally struggle on a daily basis. Unless by choice.

  • I am sure I am the only one so far who used a "3-sigma-improbable".

    Everyone else kept talking about electoral college, which means nothing in the context of a popular vote poll.

    To me it seems like you choose to ignore facts.

    Compared to you, I do understand a lot about polls, population samples, sampling methodologies, importance weighting, confidence intervals, and other related stuff. On a level way above high school.

    And I think it's interesting that you likely talk in the same tone to all your political opponents while insinuating its their lack of education that is the problem. And, it does correlate. Your political opponents on average are less educated than your political supporters. And so, you using that when clearly misrepresenting the facts surely makes them feel like listening to your arguments and carefully considering them. After all, they come from someone better educated than them, yeah?

  • You need to either find a way to start changing things, or move to a different country, or accept that there's nothing you can do, vote dem every 4 years while staying away from political content.

    You can't just be angry every day in a group of people 100% sharing your views. This gets you and the country nowhere.
