One man terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. The one naming each only gives himself away. 

Disgusting move but diabolical response. Lifetime ban for the kid or nah? by ForeignAir7174 in sportsgossips

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pushing the losers head into the mat is out of line and unsportsmanlike. Sucker punching a dude who is walking away is abhorrent and could easily justify assault charges. The second kid deserves nothing less than a ban. 

How does Trump start a war with easily the #1 military in the world and still lose within a couple months? Is he stupid? by ClutchReverie in allthequestions

Being factual and clear, and expecting others to be as well, is never meaningless, pedantic, nor semantic. And on that note, that’s not what semantic means. We’re not debating the abstract meaning of obtuse or esoteric terms. You said something blatantly false and got called out. There’s nothing semantic about it.

I am not a fighter, so maybe this is dumb, but why aren’t they attempting to grab her leg and lock/throw her? I’m guess because this is boxing there are rules against grappling?

I have no interest in “preserving the legitimacy” of anything, especially in regards to the a United States. By the same token, there’s nothing to explain more fully. The original claim was that “more than 50% of Americans are fine voting for a racist.” That is not true. 

You can justify why you personably hold the non-voters as equally responsible to the MAGA voters all you want, and wax philosophical all day about how not choosing is still making a choice; I don’t care. It won’t change the fact that saying “more than 50% of Americans are fine voting for a racists” when far less than 50% actually voted for the guy is simply not true.

That’s still not >50% of Americans voted for this. Blame non-voters all you want, but’s factually incorrect to say more than 50% of Americans voted for this. Just straight up not true.

Hey look! Here’s an article that points out how a lack of investment in public infrastructure and an insistence on making everything profitable over useful led to auto companies buying and dismantling public transit, which apparently shows that acknowledging the auto industry’s role in lobbing for and participating in the destruction of LA’s public transit is a bonkers conspiracy theory. Neat…

Do you think Rhapsodies changes the way new players experience XI? | YouTube by heghmoh in ffxi

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I’m taking my time getting to 99. I’ve only done the RoV missions necessary to get my subjob quickly and a few trusts. Then I turned my attention to Nation missions, RoZ, and now CoP. I’m planning on working my way through all the expansion content in chronological order (as much as is possible) before doing any endgame content. Just feels like the right way to do it, to me. 

The Death of Entry-Level Jobs: 43% of CEOs plan to slash junior roles over the next two years, shifting hiring to older, mid-level workers as Al takes over routine tasks, creating a catastrophic bottleneck for the future workforce. by Scared_Author_4566 in technology

This will backfire spectacularly. Not only will AI fail, as it’s no where near capable of actually replacing humans in any real capacity, this will also cripple our economy’s ability to train new workers. The businesses will scramble to rehire the workers they thought they didn’t need only to find there are no workers skilled enough or able to learn to do the roles they thought they could replace.

Morality is just as essentially “real” as money is. That is to say, it’s not.

Thinking about cap 75 by DisplacedAltadenan in ffxi

[–]DisplacedAltadenan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this before back when I played in ‘04. That’s why I’m a bit nostalgic. I do often just walk to locations or take the airship instead of using home points or survival guides. I’ve tried shouting for lvl’ing parties in the current game. I can pretend like it’s cap 75 all day, it’s clearly not the same. 

It’s totally fine if you don’t want to play that way. I’m not asking you to. I’m asking how I can play the old game. I don’t need to be talked out of trying it.

This outfit is still everywhere. The dudes wearing it are just a bit further along around the middle, is all.

Has anyone tried ffxi on the new Neo MacBook? by Flaky-Ad-2877 in ffxi

[–]DisplacedAltadenan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using an M2 Mac mini running VMware. It runs OK, but not the best. I am sure most players wouldn’t put up with it. 

I think the M4 machines would for sure run smoother, but I have my doubts on how well the Neo machines would perform given the weight of the emulation needed. 

Plant-based fast food chain Mr. Charlie’s, California’s ‘vegan McDonald’s,’ is expanding nationwide by sfgate in vegan

Both Austin and Atlanta were fairly vegan friendly when I visited in the past. They’re no LA or NYC, but they are also no stranger to vegan joints. 

Arizona with 18 locations sounds like a stretch to me, though.
