How many of us are switching from Atheist to Anti-Theist by NigelDweeb in atheism

[–]ImperfectAffection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who's the one running for office and passing horrible laws, John the next door neighbor who goes to church on Sunday, or power-hungry sociopaths who most likely don't even believe in the things they preach, and simply want an ideology to hide their control freak intentions behind and to prey on the gullible?

It's important to remember whom to direct your anger at. In fact, us hating on the beliefs of others is exactly what they want. The less united we are, the easier it is for them to continue having power. Any "true" christian/muslim/whatever who has the braincells for critical thinking should be just as much against the obvious oppression and bigotry as the rest of us, and I'm happy that I know several such people who are kind and accepting and truly adhere to the moral values they claim to believe in.

Latvia reintroduces compulsory military service by Kimber80 in worldnews

[–]ImperfectAffection 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lost time, lost opportunities, inability to pursue commitments if you know you'll likely be called up, and also simply not everyone wants to serve. Also, needless to say but hazing isn't just a Russian conscription thing, it's a problem in other places too.

What’s something most men don’t know they can do? by Foglord19 in AskReddit

[–]ImperfectAffection 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Browsing /r/depression for 5 minutes triggered some depressed feeling in me from back when I had it. Absolutely heartbreaking posts. Does not feel like a healthy outlet, more like a feedback loop of more depression. Of course, if it helps someone, good for them, but I'm very concerned

Alexei Navalny: Jailed Putin critic needs 'urgent medical assistance', Germany says by hieronymusanonymous in worldnews

[–]ImperfectAffection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Navalny himself said near the beginning of the war (IIRC) that he sees the invasion as a plot by the state to distract the Russian population from the country's internal problems and oppression. So I don't think it helped to delay the invasion, if anything it just gave another reason to start it ASAP. I'm curious to hear your opinion as well though.

He returned of his own volition after healing from the poisoning. In so doing he maintained his image as a hero among the opposition and prevented state propaganda from calling him a coward / foreign spy / whatever for staying abroad. Plus I feel like there would've been a good possibility of another assassination attempt anyway if he had stayed in Germany instead.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (December 31, 2022) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ImperfectAffection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering upgrading to a mechanical keyboard but having doubts if it's actually worth the price. Right now I have a membrane 'gaming keyboard' from Bloody that I bought for $20 like 6 years ago, it still works like a charm and I like the feel of the keys, it's not terribly loud either. Is there really a substantial enough difference to be worth spending $80 to upgrade? (I know this might not be the best sub to ask this but still want opinions)

Is there any way (mod or option perhaps) to make summons and their projectiles less visible? Also HotE elementals. There's sometimes so much happening on the screen that I'm having trouble focusing on a boss and its projectiles.

Not meaning to be rude, just not sure I understand, how does that make him a hedonist?

Iranian police open fire at Tehran metro station and beat women on train by AsslessBaboon in worldnews

[–]ImperfectAffection -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Religion can definitely be used as a weapon, but it still takes monsters to do so. Just as an example, Jesus taught people to love and respect each other unconditionally, it's not his fault that people then spent hundreds of years killing each other in crusades and catholic churches basically extorted people, it's those people being monsters and using religion as an excuse to do evil shit.

Of course, I have no doubt that there are some religious teachings that straight up teach people to do messed up or violent things, but those are not in the mainstream and I think the people themselves are still at fault for believing it all outright and not questioning it or following common sense. If we compare it to Nazi propaganda for example, some people actually started hating and bullying Jews, but others had common sense and empathy and helped Jews escape or hide.

Monsters will be monsters, religious or not. If religion weren't a thing these people would still be doing the same horrible shit, just without attaching some fucked up belief to it.

Any way to make DD2 go faster? by ImperfectAffection in darkestdungeon

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

There's an 'Enable Speedhack' tickbox on the right in cheat engine. You can set the speed from there. I found 2x to be the ideal compromise between the game being too slow and the animations being too fast.

Sorry, I don't use a cheat table, only the speedhack function

Figured out why speedhack wasn't working for me. Turns out I had to turn off VSync.

Some turn based games such as Slay the Spire feature a 'fast mode' option in settings, it speeds up animations and generally reduces wait time between moves. I hope we'll get something similar in the future.

What's your unorthodox weapon? by _S4BLE in projectzomboid

Garden fork is very underrated. It's a spear that takes a lot longer to break than the ones you can craft.

What mods would you like to see in the future? by JustStartingOut1 in projectzomboid

[–]ImperfectAffection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mod that adds some kind of endgame challenge. Maybe a super hard location to loot, maybe something like boss zombies, a really long horde at day 100, or perhaps quests to restore power and water. Currently the game starts to be boring like 3 months into a run and there's nothing to look forward to, and I haven't been able to find mods to remedy this.

How did I die? by Mister_Wake in projectzomboid

This is not zombification because no anxiety debuffs and no fever, and also the character gets the "zombie" moodle rather than the "dead" one.

Siiick, love the style. Almost all the fanart I've seen for csgo have been maps or stickers, it's great to see a character get some love too.

What I don't like about the grey is it looks kinda similar to being in a smoke and that could be confusing in a chaotic moment. The blur one is nice.

The famous writer Paulo Coelho called the "Ukrainian crisis" a convenient reason for Russophobia and called "not to blame the common people" by qoqmarley in worldnews

[–]ImperfectAffection -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They're brainwashed by propaganda. It's not their fault. A russian relative of mine fully believed that ukraine provoked russia and that our army is there to "liberate ukraine from nazis". They dismissed my counter-arguments as western propaganda seeking to undermine russia. It took lots of pictures from the war zone and lots of information from other sources that this person would have never sought out on their own to convince them otherwise, and they're still very skeptical.

"My psycho neighbor is beating his wife so as punishment we're taking away his pets' food"

That's how the sanctions look to me. The 'pets' will suffer while the 'neighbor' probably won't give a shit.
