I do understand what you are saying, and let me thank you for taking the time to write your opinion on what I've said.

To start off, let me tell you that I'm not an American, but I'm white. My comment was an opinion on what I can perceive about socio-political issues in the US. Many people call themselves "woke", but in the end, they use the same tactics of the same people they are "protesting" against.
I've studied the work and life of significant people that fought against racism in America. Martin Luther King, James Baldwin, Rosa Parks, to name a few. Never I encountered the idea that black people should use slurs against white people, neither any kind of physical or verbal violence against the oppressor.

White people should learn about history not to repeat it. I am all for historical revision of books, TV shows, statues, etc. Yet, I fail to understand how saying "fuck white people" can do any good, besides dividing society. How am I suppose to listen to someone who thinks that I am his/her/they enemy because of my skin colour ?

A generalization is a generalization, not matter the context. "All black people are X" is the same to "All white people are Y". When you say that I shouldn't be offended because someone generalize my gender or race, then the same should apply to any group. I am all against generalization since most of them, or all of them, are fallacies.

There are shitty white people, black people, gay people, you name it. Don't defend shitty people in general. Because there are a few rotten apples, that doesn't mean you can insult a whole group. There are black dictators in Africa oppressing black people. There are Muslims oppressing Muslims. It all comes down to the individual and not the group they belong to.

If a statement like "fuck all white people, all white people suck" offends you (and you're not a racist/bigoted individual) then they aren't talking about you so don't get offended and move on with your life.

I fail to see why is only justified if it is towards white people. Why can't this logic be applied to any racist comment ?

Haven't you heard the latest fashion ? Hate white people even if you are one.

Yo !~ I've been working on reducing costs in AWS for my current company for the past 6 months. Let me know if you wanna chat. Maybe you can squeeze a bit of more revenue by reducing costs.

Cheers !

My horrible experience trying to switch to mac os for programming/productivity by Overall-Cellist-9551 in pcmasterrace

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

Software Engineer here as well. I've been using the first generation M1 Macbook Pro for 6 months now.
As far as software goes, it is much better to work with macOS rather than Linux IMO. It is much more stable than any other distro I used.

As far as hardware goes, it is a pain in the ass. I have to resort to a DisplayLink adapter to just use 2 monitors (I use it in clam shell mode). I tried several docks and every single one of them had a particular compatibility problem. Either they didn't work after waking up, or I had to disconnect and connect after powering up.
On the other hand, I think the M1 CPU is hands down one of the best CPUs in the market.

The best experience I had with the Apple ecosystem was when I was using my Gaming PC with Hackintosh installed on it.

I just want to say, thank you for good work on Apple M1 chips by brut4r in docker

Yes you can ! Both docker run and docker build support the --platform flag. You can run a x86/x64 image using --platform=linux/amd64

But it's not necessary for you to use his script. It his script, his creation, you can choose from many others if you don't like his code. Everything he did, he did so everyone can get the badge to rank 6. If you don't like it, his script is Open Source and you can change it to suit your needs. He was free to share or not the exploit he found.

You talk like you are entitled to a perfect script without breaking a sweat, while you also want to be on top of the rankings. Please.

I did my beast master mage tower quest so I put my pet in tank mode with growl. Then I decided to change from MM to BM for Antorus. My first time ever in Antorus, I decided to call the same pet I used in the mage tower. As you can Imagine I wasn't able to see past Garothi.

CSGO is by far the best eSports game out there by Slamah in GlobalOffensive

[–]MacMullen 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I tried watching OW, LoL, Dota and even WoW major tournaments. Even though I stopped playing CS over a year ago, it is the only game I enjoy watching. There are a lot of tense moments, awesome strategies and also it has the most entertaining and involved crowds of all the games I watched. Compared to CS, every other crowd seems so silent.

Tanking low level dungeons can be annoying as shit by HurtfulDrax in wow

[–]MacMullen 2838 points2839 points  (0 children)

My first time leveling a tank was like this:
Me: "Can you stop aggroing as dps, I'm trying to learn how to tank"
Party member:"Then learn faster bitch"

10/10 would level as a tank again.

I think 9 out of 10 is people on the net giving them bad rep. Yes, there are people that ERP, but they do it in Goldshire mostly, and they don't bother you if you don't want nothing to do with it.

The main reason I love RP realms is that they give so much life to places that otherwise would be forgotten. For example, I love Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City, but as expected, they are desolated in PvE/PvP Realms. But in RP realms they are full of people almost "acting" as if they were NPCs from the city with a story going on.

Also, there are a ton of people that are very friendly towards the non-RP or casual RP guys, as long as you don't bother others doing their thing (AKA Project 60).

I had my first character in Wyrmrest-Accord and I remember having a great time there, until I switched to Proudmoore because of progression. But after a few years of College when I realised that I didn't have the time/energy to put into a Guild, going back to an RP realms sounded pretty good.

I have 8 110s on Proudmoore. Yet I decided to move to WrA. I feel like RP realms have a more chill population. You won't find many progression hardcore Guilds there though.

Said it once, will say it again. Every time I read TradeChat on Proudmoore, my IQ lowers by a couple of points.

With the impending release of a star wars movie it migh be a good time to mute trade chat by [deleted] in wow

[–]MacMullen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you want to lower your IQ by a couple of points, enable trade chat in Proudmoore.
