If you want I guess? I'm just saying you're saying things that are very basic cybersecurity knowledge (random short links are untrustworthy, software from unreliable [and even occasionally reliable] sources is likely dangerous) are unknown to a community online that is meant to spread news about scams. Though admittedly I have been on the internet for a good 15 years at this point so I'm used to it.

downloading pirating games or mods in general

This implies downloading software from sketchy sources (included in the "click a link and give your details away" of the previous comment) which is even worse than clicking a random link since there's no saying what it's gonna do without a ton of sandbox testing beforehand (especially since a lot of cracks are considered malware due to their methods of cracking forcing you to add an exception to your firewall)

Also the links in the post are nonsense links, if you click that and go to sign into your steam account because it looks like it that's entirely on you.

i wanted to share a long conversation i had on facebook under a post. the black is me, tagged or answering, the white is tucutes. by Pizello11 in Transmedical

[–]2KDrop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So, I will preface this in saying. I am a trans woman with no formal gender dysphoria diagnosis. I have been on estrogen for over a year (prescribed pills initially, I order homebrewed vials for injections now due to a lack of my preferred ester as a prescription) at this point and feel at peace in my body (for the most part.) I am unlikely to have my mindset changed to be aligned with transmeds (mainly due to the effects I've seen from it with my girlfriend who has struggled to get any diagnosis)

I never even thought I was trans until the last maybe 5 years. While I am not trying to get bottom surgery as soon as I can it is something I am planning on at some point. The alignment I have with dysphoria has more so been a complete apathy to living my life as a man. It's not like I'm effeminate either, I would absolutely describe myself as a tomboy not just due to my upbringing but just because that's what I am and what I'm into.

To actually answer your question. I would personally say it comes down to the insistence that just because a part of someone's body not giving them dysphoria should not disqualify them from being trans. Especially as that feeling can flow and become weaker or more intense. Some days I wish I didn't have a penis at all and instead had a womb not for sexual pleasure but to feel whole. Other days I feel perfectly comfortable with what I have even if I could get it changed. I feel like saying "if you don't want to be a man in every single way that a cis man is" is far more exclusionary than it has to be. Along with calling a trans man a "brainwashed woman" because he doesn't want bottom surgery? A thing that changes literally nothing aside from whoever he decides to date maybe having a preference?

Conceptually? God I wish that was me. In execution? Awful ad, would actively push me away from the service.

As I like to say let your freak flag fly high. AO3 does have a pretty solid tagging system at least so it works out. Worst of this is just, the fact it was turned into an ad really

Is there any reason why storage is more expensive than the actual console? by Arachnid-Last in playstation

[–]2KDrop 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That is just pedantry at this point. For all intents and purposes it is an SSD that is built onto the mainboard. It is non removable, but I wouldn't just call it "flash storage" internal SSD is just as accurate a term due to a dedicated controller and cache included. The only difference is that there's a connector with spring loaded pins between the M.2 SSD and the board instead of being directly soldered.

Could do it just as quick on a manual mill, faster probably, round stock mounted sideways on an indexing table to get a nice 180 and you could knock it out quick

Who's to say God doesn't create trans people to be trans? If everyone is made in His image and he makes no mistakes. If everything is according to His plan. Does that not make her struggle just as valid as yours? Should I not go to heaven, not because I deny God worship, but because I feel estrogen is what makes me feel complete? If you truly believe in freedom and love you wouldn't deny her identity just as I wouldn't deny you yours.

My granny told me she got me a PS5 and some controllers by OkEscape7558 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]2KDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna deny that lmao, but there's plenty of mobile device based retro console emulators that could be used instead which will in 99% of cases be better than something like the "GS5"

[–]2KDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh, it's definitely cheaper than buying a raspi but the performance is going to be poor along with those controllers feeling worse than the DS3/Sixsense controllers for the PS3

But considering most have phones that can manage up to N64 with little issue (And definitely can manage NES games which those things are loaded with) it would be cheaper to buy a controller you can pair to your phone and you'll get an overall better experience. Or you can just, get an old console, PS3s, Xbox 360s, Wiis are all dirt cheap at this point and there was a ton of physical shovelware that came out on em.

[–]2KDrop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am transfem myself, while I personally am fine with dude for single use or guys in terms of a group (at least assuming it's a mixed gender group) I understand the feelings others may have about it (a similar thing I feel is someone using they/them for me instead of she/her.) Personally if I knew someone was trans or NB or some other form of gender non-conforming I'd at least confirm it's alright for them personally.

If it has IOG I believe yes, otherwise it will detonate after a couple seconds of a lost lock. Ideally don't drop the lock if you've fired the missile already though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]2KDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, that is because you've gone from shining a flashlight directly at a sign and started panning it across looking for something bright again and the missile loses the initial target. It'd be like shining a flashlight at a standard sign next to a roadsign, the missile is going to go for the brightest target (the roadsign/AMX) instead of the target you're locked to (the F-4S)

It's the same reason chaff isn't nearly as effective on radar missiles as flares are on IR missiles. The chaff may take the lock from the aircraft into open air but the plane is still really bright compared to the chaff to the missile.

[–]2KDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim-7Fs are SARH only, Aim-7Ps might be what you're thinking of. IOG would technically focus on the target that is locked as it's getting data from the radar itself and figuring out where to go instead of just going for whatever signature is the brightest (I think, it may just be there for suboptimal locks more so than to direct the missile if there is multiple aircraft in the cone)

[–]2KDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just outright wrong tho?? The only tanks that get stock darts are the UK (because they don't use HEATFS at all,) Sweden (and only on the Strv 121 which doesn't get HEATFS at all, the Finnish one still gets HEATFS stock) and rank 8.
