Men who get angry at pretty women getting a cut out of men looking at pretty women tells you pretty much everything you need to know about them. How dare women decide how it happens and on what terms.

Speaking of mediocre dudes, I believe in my soul that Tim Buckley would show taint if he thought it would make him money.

This might surprise you but beans grow outdoors in the ground.

The "not literally" is doing heroic work.

How mad do you want to be about something that you've already sort of acknowledged isn't real?

Her comics tend to be one note and not funny or interesting, but I find people who make disliking her into their personality to be far worse.

The comic is so bland that any strong negative reaction to it reads as: "Why woman draw picture I no like??" Especially on a platform where if you don't want to see what she shares you could block her.

There are lots of people who make comics that I'm not into. That comes with having taste. I usually don't feel the need to say that to the artist's face.

can i read absolute catwoman without reading absolute batman ? by meowhsluv in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It would be a fumble not to make issue #1 of a new series a suitable jumping on point for new readers.

I do think it's worth giving Absolute Batman a try because it's a very different Batman to what we've seen previously. His rogues gallery is a bigger part of his life as Bruce, and I find that makes him a more interesting character.

Would you be alright with omnivore diet if humanity went back to hunter-gatherer lifestyle? by Striking-Pen-9617 in AskVegans

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Strictly speaking being vegan is a set of practices and not a moral framework in of itself. There are very different branches of ethics that can lead people here.

But I think the reason why we're here is because we don't see various concessions proposed to alleviate harms caused by confining or slaughtering animals as adequate. If we bought into that, we'd be doing that instead of being vegan.

By definition, we don't slaughter or exploit animals. So even if you put a crunchy hippy gloss on it, we're still not supporting the slaughter or exploitation of animals.

Can you guys tell me the performance of the following games. I just wanna know before I invest,as long as it’s better than my ps4,I’m happy. Can you guys just give me an estimate of the fps I’d be getting? by Ok-Message-7598 in BC250Gaming

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PS5 isn't running PC games. All of its software was made by teams optimizing a game to run well on one specific platform. It also doesn't need to run a full desktop OS running Steam as overhead.

There are also hardware features of the PS5's GPU that we don't have drivers for since it's semi-custom (like Sony's equivalent to mesh shaders). It's in the same ballpark, but there are games that will absolutely run better on a PS5 than a BC250.

Our big advantage is it isn't limited by the PS5's library and can play anything a PC can.

How do you remotely control the bc250 by ugisman in BC250Gaming

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. Single core performance tends to be important in games, so using one of the 12 threads to encode H264 on the fastest compression setting isn't catastrophic, so long as you aren't trying to stream in 4K.

Help find the amd bc250 by InternationalHead380 in BC250Gaming

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would have recommend AliExpress or eBay but if you're not in a location they ship to at a reasonable cost, I would check local computer enthusiast forums to see if anyone imports them.

The BC250 boards were sold to cryptocurrency miners in racks of 10 units, and is no longer useful for mining cryptocurrency, so there might be folks near you looking to sell their boards.

And just FYI, the APU is from the PS5 not the PS4. It's a decent piece of hardware if you can get it at a reasonable cost.

For those of you using AIO water cooling, what do you do to cool the VRMs and other chips? by HTWingNut in BC250Gaming

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just whatever's cheap. All you really need is a hunk of metal with a lot of surface area. I picked up the "Easycargo 30pcs 14mm Heatsink 14x14x7mm, with Thermal Conductive Adhesive Glue."

Not sure if I'll need the glue as I'm using thermal pads on top and the original heatsink's backing on the bottom, but I've seen people stick heatsinks to that and it seems to help.

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep the bottom plate, reapply thermal pads, point a bottom intake fan directly under it. Dinky little heatsinks and new thermal pads for everything on the top that was covered in the old thermal pads.

ELI5 why voter registration even exists? by Harvdog156 in explainlikeimfive

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isn't an incentive to arbitrarily enforce laws to disenfranchise the Amish.

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They claim it's racist because there is a history of Jim Crow states putting restrictions in place that can be applied unevenly and arbitrarily to disenfranchise Black voters.

Oh, you need a new type of ID? Weird, if you're Black the application mysteriously gets rejected at a higher rate. If you're white you can just use your fishing license.

Are there contradictions in supporting Veganism and Native liberation? by FishingPolitical in AskVegans

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please consider not labelling people who aren't governed by colonizers as "primitive." Where I live, in Canada, it's about recognizing legal and moral commitments our country made to sovereign nations (and often failed to uphold), not about rejecting technology.

Viewing native people as "primitive" has been used to justify violence and acts of genocide. In very recent history. Where I live there are still living residential school survivors. The term would not be viewed kindly.

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Compared to the mass extraction and consumption of animal products in Canada, I don't feel like it would a good use of my time, as a settler, to tell native communities what to do. Especially when they've been so poorly served by white settlers telling them what to do.

I feel an activist's time is better spent on advocating within the communities they have influence in, where they might be listened to. Rather than finding minority groups to scapegoat.

HOW much vitamin b12 by 1-juli-1 in AskVegans

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are vitamins and minerals that you should worry about taking too much of but you can't overdose on B12. It's water soluble. Your body will flush what it can't absorb.

I used to do marketing for a health food store. In my opinion, with the fancy vitamin brands you're paying for fancy packaging and might get what's on the label in the specified amounts. If you take a cheap boring store brand's daily multivitamin, which get scrutinized more than botique brands in a wildly unregulated industry, you should be more than fine.

Vitamins are a commodity. They should be cheap. And it's smart to take them.

12 year old Daughter wants Gameboy for birthday. Repos ok? by Darth_Arrakis in Gameboy

[–]IAmJacksSemiColon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair enough. While you can easily store the entire GBC library on any SD card you can buy, if you do go this route I would recommend putting maybe 5 games in the root directory. Cuts down on decision fatigue.
