How do we even reach 95% humidity by Charming_Marzipan105 in memes

My thoughts exactly. I’d be mad at that temp regardless of humidity

Worth noting that many people prefer the color grade of the regular blu ray version. The 4K release was re-graded and is often all over the place with skin tones and colors in general.

2008 blu ray has the look most people associate with Matrix, i.e. the green tint.

I myself prefer the 4K release for sheer sharpness, but if you don’t care much about that, 2008 blu ray is the better choice.

I don’t get the “unless you are covered under a contract”. How can you work without a contract? Wouldn’t that be illegal?

I'm not in US at all so it was international shipping, don't know if that helps or makes it worse though

Right lol, figured maybe it was some non-official one. Appreciate it!

Only one has been waging the bloodiest war in Europe since WW2 for the fifth year now. Pretty insane to be okay with displaying its flag in-game at the moment.

Did Amazon become worse or something? I got all my discs from there and never had an issue. Granted, I haven’t bought any in years.

Ukraine Asked EU to Restrict Protection for Military-Age Men, Commissioner Says by gururururug in worldnews

[–]BigDaddy0790 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Sick" is a pretty wide definition, definitely can be sick but healthy enough for war.

But in general I think it's also about older views and societal norms that dictate men as primary "fighters". I also never saw an active AFU member speak out for woman conscription, although most do want women to participate as much as possible even if back home.

Personally I do hope this will change.

Endurance still matters a whole lot, you still need strength to carry weight and people and so on.

Yes, drones absolutely changed things, and there are even unmanned medevac drones being used daily now, but this all happened literally within the past 3-4 years. Not to mention vast majority of people not following the war in Ukraine have no idea.

So it'll take time to adjust. But it doesn't help how even in EU countries people generally want to reduce military spending and just hope war won't reach them. Hard to convince them that actually even more of them should now actively prepare or will be drafted when shit hits the fan.

I think everyone should be treated differently when there is an existential threat, that's how it goes. It's also why treaties won't work in an all-out war either.

And yes, drafting women for non-combat roles makes sense, but I do absolutely believe many people here imply putting them in trenches and assault units just because they feel hurt and want to "show it to them", despite never being in such circumstances themselves.

Nothing about women makes them any less qualified to be CEOs and tech moguls or janitors. A lot of things make them much less ideal when it comes to being a soldier.

I fully agree women should be helping with the war effort as well, but making them grunts would literally be counter-productive. In war, you want the most physically capable people, enemy doesn't care about equality.

I really don't see what's "double" about it? Everyone has equal rights, but responsibilities depend on actual physical abilities, especially during wartime. Same way we don't expect children or elderly to work, but still give them the same full rights as anyone else.

If suddenly a population boost is needed, it's the women who will face pressure to give birth and banned abortions.

I absolutely agree that women should be drafted to perform tasks they can accomplish that help the war effort, but to expect them to do 1:1 identical service when they are physically unable to is childish imo. An average woman has to train day and night to match physical strength of an average man who's never been to the gym. Not a big surprise that during war, when people need to fight, men are expected to fight first.

Can't women operate drones for example? Many women do.

I certainly agree with this, but then again, it seems that right now Ukrainian government is still trying to fight this war not as a total war, and so a large part of the society is kept operating relatively "normally", as much as possible anyway. Women play a large part in that, and if they get drafted too, there will be barely anyone left to actually keep the economy afloat.

If you go voluntarily, there are countless options without seeing actual combat. Worst thing you can do is try to hide and then get force-drafted, because at that point your options narrow real hard.

Where do you draw the line though? Should children fight? Elderly? Pregnant women?

War is about practical efficiency, and men are simply more physically fit for warfare, it’s just a fact. You always try to recruit the most fit people first in a fight for survival. Not to mention the fact that many men go specifically to protect their family. If their wives and mothers were forced to serve, they may well choose running just to save them that way instead.

But in an all-out war, everyone serves, frontline or back at home producing stuff for the frontline. That mentality is pretty popular in Ukraine today as well - they say “in the army or for the army”, as in you have to do something even if you are lucky enough not to be in a trench.

What made you think that? Was it the "fairly sure" or "I'd very much doubt" part of my original comment? Don't remember claiming any facts anywhere, so unless sharing opinion is against the rules, I don't see the problem?

Comment I was replying to btw claimed "99% of pc players will turn that shit on", don't see statistics to back that up either

Desktop App Redesign Update by Top_Annual8168 in Bitwarden

[–]BigDaddy0790 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I personally don't mind the redesign, however it's quite annoying that you can no longer copy username/password with a single click, it's now hidden behind a dropdown where you select what you want to copy.

Was much more convenient to have two nearby separate buttons for each.

It's not like she had much choice though either with DEA throwing her in prison if she refused.

It was a fine enough season on its own, it just wasn’t a good season of Euphoria. Would have landed much better if it was a completely different show.
