    Why shouldn’t people use windows?

    You can’t expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

    Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers



  • So you’re saying that everyone that dislikes anime “just doesn’t get it” ? That’s a pretty silly take.

    I’ve watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can’t do it anymore

    Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

    - Incredibly frustrating dialogue

    I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can’t connect with the characters. It doesn’t need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

    - Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

    Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you’re just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

    Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it’s still too much. I can’t sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue


  • Your right to free speech ends when it turns into terrorism, racism or a call for a coup.

    There are some things that should be banned, such as the twitter accounts that promoted the attempt at a coup in Brazil in Jan 8 2023.

    These are the accounts that the judge asked to be banned. After Twitter didn’t comply they started sending fines and eventually outright banning it.

    Free speech doesn’t mean you can say literally anything. It means the government cannot punish you for your political views. But they can, and must punish racism and anti-democracy speech.

    Also, it’s a misconception that a decentralized service cannot be banned. In fact it’s not hard at all





  • My brother what can they do?? They put diplomatic pressure and sanctions in place but there’s nothing more a country can do to influence another nation.

    There are US and EU sanctions in Venezuela since years. But they still manage to live in their limited space.

    Saudi Arabia is an Absolute Monarchy. They have a king and all that bullshit. The king is a de facto dictator BY DESIGN. that’s their constitution.

    What do you expect us to say?? “hey, how about you abolish your whole political system? Because you know… We kinda don’t like it”

    I don’t like it either bro but it is what it is. We have to live with that bullshit. Unfortunately there is no solution to everything

    Name a dictator that gets political support from the EU


  • Western powers are willing to recognise Putin as the ruler of the Russian Federation

    “A European Union spokesman said the elections were not properly monitored, nor conducted in a free and fair way. The governments of the UK, Germany and the US echoed this.” -BBC on the Russian 2021 elections

    Here’s the article

    This has always happened in the past Russian elections. The EU doesn’t push harder on this topic because they know these efforts won’t influence Russia

    On Venezuela however, there’s a lot more chance that international pressure will cause changes. Maduro GTFO!



  • What’s to see?

    I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

    Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

    He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

    I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical

    The context doesn’t make a difference

    In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333…

    In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4

    But they’re both the same number.

    Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications



  • As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

    They are not morally Superior to Israel.

    Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.


  • Man what a terrible choice of words.

    By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

    And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

    Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

    Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

    This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict
