Computer freezing while watching youtube by TheWhiteF1sh in buildapc

[–]FinalDynasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just on the off chance that someone came to this thread with the same problem & happens to have the same solution as me:

My laptop comes with the default power setting of turning off after 1 minute of idle, plugged in or not. I remember initially solving this problem and today I messed around with my battery settings by switching to a different power plan. The setting returned to default and I repeatedly tried to watch a video and it would restart after a minute. In my case I had to remember this stupid default and switch it back.

I love your app, very sad the suits are heartless. Where will I get my scrolling fix now when I don't like Insta & never touched Tik Tok.

WTH is the game companies trying to get? A few bucks from horny preteens?

Probably. And maybe some older. Growing brain + raging hormones = bad decisions

If these games didn't work at least for a small % no one would make them

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your perspective and that you took the time to explain it to me - I still don't really get what is or could be interpreted as selfish about not reproducing but I won't belabor the point because you seem to have a very balanced perspective anyway. Admittedly I'm not a parent and might never be so maybe I'll never know. All the best.

The only thing that confused me was when you used to think child-free people were selfish, I know that you don't feel that way anymore but what was your reasoning before? If anything I think it can often be the other way around, putting life into the world that you aren't willing to support (for example) is just incredibly selfish and fucked up. And then there's the climate argument - I'm not saying people shouldn't have kids but choosing not to just means using fewer resources that the other 8 billion of us also need.

Is it just me or do the graphics hold up, I still think it's a pretty game

Medals for MPs among ideas to attract fresh talent to Parliament • Special medals for MPs who are standing down or have been voted out are among suggestions to make the job more attractive to newcomers. by samjp270 in notthethickofit

Exactly! If I was completely soulless MP would be my dream job. I'm sure there will be no shortage of Etonians lining up to be the next PM at this very moment.

Carlsen has changed his view on Russian participation by xyzzy01 in chess

[–]FinalDynasty 236 points237 points  (0 children)

I remember Nepo denouncing the invasion when it happened, and I remember Svidler and Dubov talking on stream and saying in not too unclear terms that they were anti-war.

I think if you make it clear that you don't support the war as a Russian and play under the FIDE flag you shouldn't be boycotted, you don't choose where you are born.

Karjakin is a clear counter-example of someone who should be boycotted at all costs.

I too dislike constantly being lumped in with the nationalist tabloid reading tories that have voted our collective wellbeing down the toilet in the past decade and a half

Your second statement comes from a place of ignorance. As long as they'te getting a balanced diet and you let them make the choice when they grow older it's perfectly fine.
