I agree, yes. I always try to have that conversation, even if the other side seems to be arguing, since at the beginning I am interested in their thoughts and motives, and trying to get them to understand mine. I do enjoy getting people angry though, so at certain point, if they are clearly arguing in bad faith, the calmness becomes a tool, to make them look like morons.

If you want people who know, to suffer, just randomly ask them “what does the dog say?”, and then answer that. If it has been long enough, they have forgotten, but will immediately remember again. Instant emotional damage.

Ironically, that extra might be converted into estrogen, and can then cause things, like breast growth.

Yes! What is the appeal? Why switch all the time? I just install the OS, tweak everything to work, then let it be. I clearly am not enough of a nerd. My whole Linux adventure started with distros, that were said to be easy for beginners… and I did not move past that, because stuff works?

Yeah, my family has hunters, and none of them would in no way describe it as “horny”. Though they kill for food, so I do not know how trophy hunter people are. And if someone kills just for their enjoyment, well… they are already kind of messed up, really. I do not think it is common, but I would also not be surprised if someone…

Oh, I was not even part of that conversation (luckily). I just happened to read it (sadly).

The one time I saw a post about bestiality and necrophilia, someone was saying it is common for hunters to fuck their kills, because the adrenaline of the hunt and all, makes them horny and crazy. No reason to bring it up here, though, I just want you all to suffer with me.

And even if it creates a problem for your landlord only, it is you, who is going to pay for it, anyway. They will not just eat the loss - why would they? - they will increase the rent even more, than they would otherwise, to cover the costs.

It sometimes gets even weirder, though. I am no expert in anime, but many of the “loli” characters I have encountered, have adult woman hips, but a child’s face, and sometimes also upper body. Something like Tatsumaki in One Punch man for example. So it is sexualizing the child-ish look, while also making it more adult like…? I have not understood what is the point.

Sudden moment my profile picture is relevant!

Windows “just works”

Honestly, I cannot understand, who can tolerate Windows 11. It does not even work! Constant bugs, eats memory like a hog, have to uninstall programs when updates itself (so constantly), because automatic re-installs. Every time you reboot, you have to kill several unnecessary background processes it automatically starts, or everything works even more like in tar. On my Surface Pro (Microslop made! Their own product!) the task bar never worked properly, every time there was an update to fix something, something else stopped working. Even the damn desktop broke few times, with random updates. It is a vibe coded piece of garbage.

I have everything I cannot switch to Linux, on Windows 10 - at least that still works. Windows 11 cannot even fill that bare minimum.

Sadly, it does need to be said. You and I might find it obvious, but it has been a common propaganda tactic for decades already, to frame anything negative said about Russia, as “russophobic”. A lot of people do not have that context, and I have seen enough propagandists here, to take precaution. It cannot be underlined enough, that the root of the problem is Russian imperialism, not russian people in general.

I will note, that I comment this, to tell it to other people possibly reading these comments. You do not have to care, if you do not want to, I understand.

It should not really be “Russia bad!”, more like “Putin’s dictatorship bad”, or something like that. The fact is, Russia attacked another nation under Putin’s leadership (they say it themselves), and started the war without provocation, to conquer a sovereign nation (they have also said that themselves). Knowing this, makes quite many people not like Russia under this leadership, especially if you are their neighbor, and they have attacked your lands before as well, to conquer them (that is, where my angle is coming from, for the context).
Some random russian from the street did not do it - but you cannot blame ukrainians for defending themselves either. So, in short it is “war bad”, “starting war really bad”, but “defending yourself ok”. Now, what is happening in the actual meat grinder… War bad.

Ah, ostomates unite.

It is also the athmosphere of anxiety. Horror movies try to intentionally create feelings of fear, and uneasiness, which then is present in the color scheme, camera angles, music (or lack of), spacing… everything. In documentaries and the like, usually the incidents themselves, also speak for themself.

I cannot take horror at all either - I cannot usually watch even horror comedies - but one of my favorites, is to watch real tsunami footage. The point is not to see people dying or some unreal scary stuff, it is to witness the real absoluteness of destruction nature is capable of, yet also people managing to survive, and help each other, in the middle of it.

It is very obvious when these cameras are pointed at you

Do you honestly believe, that all the people you have met in person, would be able to tell the difference between a glasshole with their VR glasses, and a random blind person wearing sunglasses? Sure, in this discussion it is a hyperbole, but people manage to cause these stupid mob mentality things every now and then. Like reddit, and misidentifying the Boston bomber. Or all the canceling, harassing and doxxing, that has ended up targeting someone innocent. Just the other day, I saw some post about a documentary or something, about how pedo hunters managed to murder some completely unrelated person.

Real life is not a movie, people get permanently disabled and even die from a single punch, even in stupid, drunken bar fights all the time. If a random person reads that comment about punching, and decides it is actually a good idea - do you think that one, is definitely one of those, who will be able to actually recognize the VR glasses? Inciting violence online, and managing to cause even a single moron, to assault and possibly kill innocent people, makes you responsible for that as well. If you think that is okay, you should think about your values, and what sort of a person you really want to be.

I do hope you can find some healthier outlet for your anger, than insulting randoms, and writing violent fantasies online.

Did you not read my, or the other posters, comments? You are missing the point we both made. Let me try again.

There are a lot of stupid people. Trying to get a lot of people to punch glassholes, will lead those stupid people to also punch people with VR glasses. Which then leads to stupid people actually punching people with glasses. But because they are stupid, they cannot tell which ones are wearing VR glasses, or that someone wearing VR glasses might have them as an accessibility device, and not as pervert glasses. So they will punch people who have glasses, that to them, look like VR glasses, but are not.
A lot of blind people wear sunglasses, that can look like VR glasses, in places people do not usually wear sunglasses. This means, getting a lot of stupid people, to punch people with glasses, will lead to a lot of innocent people - especially blind ones - not releated to glassholes in anyway, getting targeted and punched, just for existing in a public place. A lot of people punching random people indiscriminately for wearing glasses, because they hate glassholes, is an angry mob. Thus, that plan leads to an angry mob, punching a lot of innocent people.

Well, my country’s legislative bunch has already said, that mass surveilance is against our constitution. I doubt Finland is the only country in EU to have that, so even if it passes fully, it is going to have some big hurdles ahead.

If your version of preventing surveillance state depends on getting angry mobs to beat up innocents, you definitely need some better ideas and planning. And insulting random people on the internet, without offering anything valuable to the discussion, does not shine a good light on your character.

These people do not sound like your friends. I hope that “had” in the first post’s first sentence is literal.
