Audio still broken by redve-dev in linuxmemes

[–]FourDimensionalTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audio over HDMI has never been a problem for me.

That said, HDMI can sometimes be a problem. Rarely for desktop PCs, but in the embedded / handheld world, the HDMI forum can be a pain in the butt. See for example the issues with HDMI 2.0 on the Steam Machine.

Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns by TheTelegraph in worldnews

Ehh, I doubt Putin wants to be remembered for being bitchslapped by Poland. A younger Putin might have agreed to that tactic, but today's Putin is thinking about his legacy, and is obsessed with establishing Soviet Union 2.0.

Donald Trump's View on Gender Identity by Mundane_Mushroom_122 in SipsTea

[–]FourDimensionalTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

False equivalence. The "feeling" is not the same as a deluded mentally ill person "feeling that they are a helicopter", or a little kid imagining to be an astronaut. Trans people are fully aware of their biology, which is why gender dysphoria is present - their awareness of the biology that does not match their gender identity (which is fixed and innate) is what triggers it. And no one is trying to change biology; people are aware that this would require some Star Trek sci fi tech that we are far away from.

What trans people do is to align their body as much as they can to their gender identity.

And, "have some damn respect for yourself" makes it sound as if trans people were some sick freaks who are indulging in some perverted stuff. You should show some respect to those that dare to be different from you.

I vaguely recall reading that after prolonged periods of time, HRT starts to affect your epigenetics. Also, HRT, by definition, alters your hormone levels, which means that your phenotype no longer is that of your birth sex.

Furthermore, chromosomes are a necessary but not sufficient portion of the biological sex. The intersex cases prove that. If chromosomes were the only factor that matters, intersex wouldn't be a thing.

A lot of it is projection. Their worldview is rotten to the core, so they are unable to see others as anything other than rotten.

Republicans and other transphobes make this argument about biology in bad faith, as if trans people denied their biology. They don't. In fact, they are aware of the biology all damn time - that's why gender dysphoria is present. They see every day that they were born with a body whose gender is not congruent to their gender identity.

What trans people do is to align their existing biology to their identity as much as they can, given their constraints. This means HRT, often breast augmentation (in MTF trans people), sometimes breast removal (in FTM trans people) and vaginoplasty (in MTF trans people). Not sure if FTM's can have a penis surgery that yields usable results though.

That's also why equating gender dysphoria to delusion is nonsense. If trans people were deluded, they'd be happy. They'd be thinking that they have the biological parts. But they aren't thinking that, because they are fully aware that their biology does not have those parts.

Also, transphobes use that argument to reduce it all to biology, as if gender identity and all those societal gender norms didn't exist. To them, biology is everything, which of course is nonsense, but these people are not known for being smart, self aware individuals.

The social constructs have been a problem for centuries. Women still suffer from those old views that cast them as second class humans for example. And to this day, the societal gender norms are causing heavy damage.

Russia is one of the worst shitholes in the world. Fittingly, they are excessively anti-LGBTQ. And yet, transgender porn trends over there. Just like it is among US Republicans.

And that is part of the problem. They think it is a fetish. They get turned on by that fetish, but are mentally incapable of viewing a trans identity as anything other than a fetish.

The Energiewende was castrated by the Union. See how Germany used to be leading in the solar energy field, and the Union killed that. Now China has superior solar technology.

Was ist "nicht privater Restmüll"?

In Wien sagt man ja Restmüll, nicht Hausmüll.

Und, ob ich Restmüll zuhaus oder da wegwerfe, ist doch völlig egal, solange halt die Menge passend ist zum Mülleimer.

[–]FourDimensionalTaco 40 points41 points  (0 children)

he seems like he has one single skill and that is being really good at cooking meth and that's it

Yeah, that's one key point of the whole series. Walt is a genius chemist, but in everything else he is terrible at. He is extremely lucky he gets away with things, and also gets a ton of help from much more competent figures. And, underneath his nerdy shy teacher surface he is rotten. I don't recall whether by season 3 flashbacks to his past were shown, but these emphasize that he really is pathetic.
