I don't really support defacing art either, but at the same time, it's not like the art is gonna matter if the planet burns, is it? The only people who'll still be around to enjoy it are rich people, and they'll probably just ditch it the moment they realize it doesn't have a monetary value anymore due to societal collapse.

So what's the point? Throw soup at art (in Minecraft). Throw grenades at yachts (in Minecraft). None of this will matter soon (in the real world).

All we need to do is build a similar setup and then find a guitar and a CRT and see what happens

Edit: actually, I've got a guitar and a CRT and maybe half of the pieces there. The big thing I'm concerned about is destroying the CRT. I have no idea how sensitive CRTs are or how much power is coming from a guitar.

Probably like, 95% of the people in my city are either neutral or supportive of LGBT people. The last 5% are so fucking insane that it's still scary to be LGBT. - (major Texas city)

Edit: I kinda assume this is unique because I'd think most places are either safe (with the occasional heckler) or completely unsafe. Texas seems special because it seems like most people don't care or are supportive, but then you get the nutjob who's entire reality is shattered by the idea that you aren't straight and/or cisgendered and all they can do is get apocalyptically mad about your existence.

Edit 2: oh yeah, on a less depressing note, iirc Texas is like, sorta kinda half canyon. Iirc Palo Duro canyon doesn't really have an end to it, it just kinda.... widens until it becomes part of the normal landscape (I might be thinking of a different canyon though). As such, you could basically consider anything downstream from the canyon as being inside the canyon, resulting in a huge chunk of Texas existing in a canyon!

Yeah, this seems like, "we don't care unless you care; we're just giving you information so you know whether or not you care"

I couldn't get through Halo 4's campaign when it was released as part of the MCC, nor was I able to get though Halo Infinite's (it wasn't bad, just... meh; nowhere near as good as the Bungie campaigns but not trash either, just not as good). I would still like the option to play Halo 5 on PC just so I have the ability to play the main campaign, plus I've heard it's the best multiplayer Halo? But yeah. Even if I never actually play it, it's nice to have the option.

On a tangential note, I think 343's Halo games would have been considered good if it wasn't for Bungie's Halo. I don't think their campaigns are honestly bad, per se (though again, haven't tried to play H5), they're just bad in comparison to the "OG" games.

I'm pretty sure I've read Qobuz has the highest payout of any streaming service, plus you can actually buy music. Also afaik Qobuz never jumped on the mqa scam train. Tidal wasn't even giving you lossless music when you asked for lossless music for the longest time.

No one's mentioned Qobuz either. It's like Spotify+iTunes except lossless.

I'm unironically amazed that Texas is supposedly perfectly average while California is below average. I bet it's all the Texas engineers offsetting the Texas bigots, while the California techbros offset the California tech geniuses.

(I'm saying this as a Texan)

Ye, I got that part, OP's response was what threw me for a loop, but I think I understand what happened with OP's response.

• guy calls out op, believing OP's brain to be fake (in more ways than one, if you catch my meaning)

• OP doesn't know much about human anatomy either, thinks "shit, what if they're right and it was mislabeled? Fuck, how do I recover?"

• OP decides to play the fool, pumping up their self-confidence under the assumption that smokinliver is correct, thereby satisfying the Dunning-Kruger effect.

• OP decides to add a bugs bunny clip as a "wink wink, nudge nudge" (to indicate they're not being serious)

• no one gets it and everyone thinks OP is a moron and a dick.

I remember trying something very similar when I was a teenager which is how I learned that playing the fool is not a good recovery method lol

Amusingly, smokinliver appears to be wrong (I literally did a Google search for "side view of a healthy human brain" and got OP's pic): https://sciencephotogallery.com/featured/side-view-of-a-healthy-human-brain-garry-watsonscience-photo-library.html

Edit: wait, is the joke supposed to be that it is not a human brain? That OP found a not-human brain labeled as "human brain", therefore demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect? I'm confused.

I think you're misunderstanding what feminists mean when they say, "all men can be rapists". It's alright, I used to be in your shoes too, sometimes people are just bad at explaining themselves, so lemme try and explain my understanding of the statement.

They're not saying that men are rapists, what they're trying to say is that men have been trained to pursue relationships in a way that can be coercive and can lead to rape without the man realizing he's doing anything wrong (I'll go into how a man could """accidentally""" rape someone near the end).

A good example of this is "Baby, it's cold outside". The song is about a man trying to convince a women to stay the night with him. The song takes the form of the woman finding reasons to leave, while the man finds reasons for her to stay. This was because, at the time, it was considered improper for a single lady to stay the night with a gentleman who's also single; they might get up to something, the horror!

Now, the song portrays this coersion as being possibly consensual; that, in the context of the song, the woman might want to stay, but feels compelled to go through the list of reasons she should leave so it isn't "improper". However, if you're engaging in roleplay like that, you need to set clear boundaries before you do, otherwise you risk someone getting hurt. Furthermore, standards have changed. It's no longer improper (in most places) for a woman to spend the night at a man's house, nor is it acceptable to try and convince a woman (or anyone for that matter) to sleep with you if they've said "no". Again, it is coercive, and you cannot derive consent from coersion unless it was clearly defined beforehand as part of role-play (consent can also be revoked, if someone tells you "stop", you stop).

Despite that, cultural momentum means that many young men are still taught that if a woman says "no", that just means you need to give her a better excuse to say "yes" ("she's just playing 'hard-to-get'").

You might be able to see how this is a bad thing, yes?

That is what I believe they're referring to. It's not that they think every man is a rapist just waiting to strike, it's that most men have been trained to "just try harder" if their lady friend says "no".

Edit: if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

You're probably gonna have to be more specific.

Radical feminist can refer to:

A hardcore feminist who goes to every rally and protest, donates money to things like planned parenthood and so on. - probably a cool person, but might have their head up their ass. However, their heart is probably in the right place regardless of their personality.

A misandrist. Fake feminist who hates men and believes men are the source of the world's problems. - almost certainly an asshole and should be avoided.

A terf, aka "trans-exclusionary radical feminist". Also a fake feminist. They don't believe trans women are women and seek to exclude them. - asshole, avoid at all costs; tend to call themselves "gender critical" because the real feminists got tired of their bullshit and started kicking them out.
