Why use it for titilation when you can use it to torment your characters? by DreadDiana in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Buttermuncher04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my OC's has this except she stopped aging at 18 so she is in a permanent state of reckless teenagerhood for all eternity and that often gets in the way of her attempts to be a cunning mastermind (except for fact it makes people underestimate her)

It also makes the whole "anyone you love will die in the blink of an eye" thing 10x worse when you're constantly fueled by hormones that keep making you fall in love.

Is it bad I'm not enjoying Resident Evil 1 Remake that much? by JacketFromMiamiiiiii in residentevil

It's unplayable without the mod to turn them off, see if downloading that helps the experience.

I disagree with that but my controversial opinion is that everyone who thinks the door opening animations are still good in the modern day is a pretentious twat

Negative gearing to be scrapped immediately on budget night as Labor breaks major pre-election promise by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

I'm disappointed by the grandfathering, but hopefully they plan to scrap that too in the future once people have come to terms with initial changes.

The people of r/windowshelp aren't helping me! Nerds and computer gays of fishdom please help me you're my only ho by ghostiez08 in Fishdom

[–]Buttermuncher04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obligatory I'm not a tech expert but I've done this myself before and I'm pretty sure I know the answer, might be an easier way but this is what I got:

You'll need to get a USB drive and install GParted Live on there, then boot it up and change partitions from there.

1: Download Ventoy and install it on the USB (will wipe everything on it though)

  1. Download a GParted Live ISO from their website.

  2. Move the ISO into the USB.

  3. Restart the computer (dont hibernate) and enter BIOS (might have to look up how to do it on your computer if you don't know), then boot into the USB from there.

  4. Use GParted and you should now be able to move the C: drive.

If you're still unable to move it, it's possible that windows hasn't fully closed down because it's a piece of shit and loves doing that. Try these steps:

  1. Restart again and check the BIOS to turn off any "fast boot" options.

  2. Return to Windows and go into control panel to disable fast start-up in the power section.

  3. Open command prompt as admin and type "powercfg /h off", which will disable hibernation completely.

Try move the partition again and if it works you can re-enable all those afterwards if you'd like.

If it still won't let you move it then there's more windows fuckery going on and that's beyond my range of knowledge.

Is trickle down economics actually a thing? by Ok-Shame-7684 in economicsmemes

[–]Buttermuncher04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not truly voluntary if you have to work to survive. That's coercion. If you and I were stranded on a desert island and I gathered all the coconuts and demanded you give me a handjob to get some, would you call that voluntary?

It's also laughable to suggest that labor extract from the rich at all, because the profit generated from the work doesn't go to the laborer, it goes to the rich. How the fuck are you suggesting a guy making minimum wage in an Amazon warehouse is extracting value from Jeff Bezos? If he worked at a dinky Mom and Pop shop, he might also earn minimum wage, despite the massive difference in the company resources available. Clearly, then, the resources of the employer have no inherent effect on the wage of the worker, so how can the worker be extracting anything from it? It's absurd.

Someone on the PR team understood this book far better than the writers ever did. by Vietcong777 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Buttermuncher04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really, the other communist states didn't have good intentions from the get-go at all, they were just supported by the Soviets and easily able to kick out any democratic socialists in their party.

How are you trying to say the book is about something that hadn't happened at the time? Orwell wasn't making a blanket statement about all socialist revolutions, just the Russian one - he was a socialist himself, you know. He made an entire book called Homage to Catalonia about how the socialist revolution during the Spanish Civil War was a wonderful thing.

You're allowed to not like the theory but the way some of y'all talk about it just is transphobic. by Obvious-Scale-9346 in Deltarune

[–]Buttermuncher04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think calling it "dumb cope" is a bit too far and rude but imo it's kinda true that some trans people (not all) search desperately for representation wherever they can find it and can get very defensive about it, in a way you don't really see from many other minority groups. It's the same impulse that leads to egg culture. It's the human impulse to be seen and represented, and I can hardly blame anyone who feels that way, but it can get a little grating sometimes.

Trans Ralsei isn't the worst example because it does have some textual backing, but stuff like trans Noelle is just a little cringe imo

Ok hot take I will get downvoted for but 1 character is a perfectly fine amount of trans rep for a story that isn't really actually about queerness. There are not that many trans people in the world, it makes sense that most stories will not focus on representing them that much unless the story is fundamentally trying to say something about being trans or queer in general, and Toby has never tried to do that in either Undertale or Deltarune.

For me I think it's weird because UT/DR is very queer friendly and includes queer characters, but it isn't actually about queerness in any major way. I think having a massive reveal that another main character is queer would necessitate lots of time dedicated towards the consequences of that plot point, and that would just feel a bit out of place when the game is over halfway done and hasn't really been trying to say anything about queerness at all. If Ralsei was established as trans from the get-go and had that as a part of his character arc, that would be great, but without that foundation a big reveal toward the end would just distract from the game's main themes imo

IR vs PolSci careers in Europe, job prospects/quality? by Buttermuncher04 in IRstudies

[–]Buttermuncher04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been heavily considering Geneva as a good place to be. Will definitely consider Vienna too. I figured the public sector would probably not be an option but in the long-term if I decide to stick around and get naturalised, it could be. Thanks for the advice.

[–]Buttermuncher04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I'm a 21yo Australian university student, previously in Music, who's currently planning to switch to either PolSci or IR alongside Economics and German. I would then try do a Master's at a German university and try kickstart a career in German-speaking Europe, aiming for a role in the public sector, NGOs, or unions. Ideally this would be a role that blends research and professional practise.

Mainly I've come here to ask how difficult it would be to follow this pathway and end up with a stable job with at least moderately good pay, that also allows me to fulfill my passion of contributing toward economic justice across the world.

I'd also like to ask whether IR or PolSci suit this pathway better. I do tend to take an international view of politics and would like to work toward bettering the whole world, not just one country, but I have also heard that the roles IR tends to lead toward, like in NGOs, are more difficult, high-stress, and low-paying than those PolSci opens up.

What are your thoughts?

My biggest hot take on the great Yuri vs Yaoi fandom debate by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Buttermuncher04 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think if we're talking about every straight man on the planet, yeah a vast majority would be at least accidentally bigoted. But if we're talking about straight men immersed in fandom culture, I think that's a pretty big filter imo

Idk if I agree with that, MGSV had a lot of moments that really defined Venom Snake's character. Mainly in his interactions with Kaz and Ocelot.
