It’s no secret I’m on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like… what’s the deal?
It’s not ok to discriminate based on what people are (genetics, disabilities, race, gender, etc)
But it’s fine and necessary to discriminate based on what people do. We do it all the time. ‘No Smoking’ signs being perhaps the most common.
Culture is a thing that people do. They can choose not to do it. Cultures don’t deserve respect purely because they are a culture.
So if a culture is generally promoting something bad (racial/gender discrimination, for a very common example), why not discriminate? Oh keeping slaves/having vast wealth inequality/persecuting people for their sexuality/or calling for nuclear war is a thing in your culture? Then that’s totally fine and dandy because we respect all cultures, yaaay.
But in your case, it’s the leaders of the country declaring nuclear war, which may/ (or more likely) may not be in line with the culture. So… yeah no. Not ok to discriminate in that case, when it’s not a product of the culture, but of the leadership.
A country can have multiple cultures within it, and cultures can be spread across countries, but a country is a line on a map, not a set of customs and traditions etc. They can align of course, but they aren’t the same thing. People can be proud of and represent both, but you can’t choose which country you were born in.
It sounds like maybe a better word would be patriotism?
To break from the trend (because I recommend Mint as well),
Check out the options on distrowatch.com, test out any live distros you can. When you have some understanding of GRUB then dual boot, and then triple.
Inevitably, you’re going to end up using Arch because it’s so easily managed and you get to choose each component. But it’s better if you have experience with the different components first. I completely missed out on learning RPM (package manager), I went from Mint (apt) to Arch (pacman). I did resurrect a lot of old laptops and desktops with various different distros though, and I learned Gnome and xfce, LXDE, MATE, and i3, xmonad…
There’s a lot to learn but it’s all fun, and it’s all different. When you go to a tiling window manager, you’ll understand why Windows adopted (albeit shittily) tiling in it’s latest version.
I haven’t actually touched selinux at all… It’s not ‘officially supported’ in Arch yet, although there are compatible packages available. I only recently discovered PAM which I have yet to learn too.
Can I really ask 3 whole questions? Oh … two now? Fuck!! goddam. Ok, ummm… gotta be something real important, something impactful… Should I invest in Tesla?
So i’m helping my best friend to try instaling nvidia gtx 1050 mobile drivers on his laptop, we genualy don’t know what to do and i can figure out how to make it work, so it would be very helpfull if someone could explain me what to do or provive me with a guide to make it work

This is an extremely valid and important question, I am so glad you asked it. Upvoted. Twice.
Tomato soup is definitely the bad one. It sucks in general.
I would also avoid anything with ‘chowder’ in the name. Idk, just never sat right with me.
The broccoli cream soup @lesnout27 mentioned is a definite winner. And any soup that incorporates coconut as a cream or flavour.
Generally I think you would aim for lighter soups, rather than heavy and hearty with tons of solid veges and meat. And it must be compatible with dipping garlic bread.
It’s personal preference, but basically edge limits that increase over time, like at 15 you’re looking at ±6 months, at 20 it might be + or - 1 or 2 years. At 30 you’re probably at looking at 5 years either side of 30.
Once you hit 500 the attraction window is so large it becomes mostly irrelevant, and you’re judging more on aristocrical lineage and/or aristocrical diet.
It’s only a few more years til 1000 (which usually turns out to be a very dull party with no surprise guests) and by that point you’re lucky to find anyone attractive.
There’s obviously the old ‘hurr durr he’s over 2000 so he must be gay now’ stereotype, but as far as I can tell, attraction isn’t cyclical.
So if I had a cp -v operation fail, is the last file name it printed out the last successful file copy, or is it the failed partially copied file?

Refresh our memories, what powers did this one have? I remember the chick running it over with her car a bunch of times and that’s about it from the movie.
Semi-permanently, otherwise known as permanently until shit breaks catastrophically (in the IT world at least).
Obviously you’re going to need to set up a cordon. No one gets in. Limit the food supply.
This thing is cunning so we can assume that it knows what’s going on. So actions need to be coordinated and rapid. Use satellite and IR drones to track the thing’s location.
It’s likely that live bait is required, so a few death-row inmates get to draw straws. Stick them in cages around the perimeter of the thing’s active hunting area.
It’s cunning, so it knows that the cages are traps. … But I’m cunning too.
Now that the creeper has determined that it is in an area that is monitored, and it’s being hunted, it will try to escape. We let it escape. Then we move the cages a few hundred miles out.
The creeper escapes again. A show is made, jets flying over etc. We move the cages.
Repeated enough, the creeper ends up in Canada or Mexico, and voila! Problem solved!
Sony is Sony is about to delete Mythbusters, Naked and Afraid, and tons of other Discovery shows from PlayStation users’ libraries even if they already “purchased” them....
It’s both parties. The button says ‘buy’ not ‘hire for N years until the contract runs out.’
The implied transaction for consumers was that they had ‘purchased’ a product and retained it indefinitely. If Sony can no longer uphold their end of the deal, then they should be refunding.

Do you think it would be understandable/alright to be discriminatory towards people who identify with a world culture if that culture ended up declaring nuclear war and going through with the threats?
