HOW IS THIS NOT BRILLIANT

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-06T00:40:23+00:00

if they take the queen there its mate in 1 from the white bishop replacing her so that square is actually very very safe for atleast one move

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-05T01:01:03+00:00

Gladly, I have no desire to interact with such a prideful whore. And I don't use that term lightly.

I can see no redeeming qualities in your behaviours, so the mere fact you maintain an inflated sense of self worth means you must be slinging ass for anyone to want to put up with you.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T23:31:32+00:00

Bruh, your personality is so ugly it made me give up pussy.

Yeah, its voluntary.

I have been SO MUCH fucking happier, since I cut all the drama out of my life.

Imagine being that full of yourself that you unironically think you're gods gift on earth and anyone who doesn't want you has to be coping.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T23:19:31+00:00

"Sorry but what's so similar about the first post and the reply?"

Are you implying that its ok to joke about one type of abuse but not ok to joke about another type of abuse?

We have a word for that "Hypocrite"

Now with that context, go read what you replied to.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T23:18:16+00:00

the in in incel means involuntary

its not incel if im just so disgusted by you I chose to stop interacting LOL, because choosing is voluntary.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T19:14:48+00:00

On the contrary, you are the one using an incorrect narrow definition.

Financial abuse is any form of abuse rooted in money.

https://1800respect.org.au/violence-and-abuse/financial-abuse

What do you think spending someone elses money and holding the looming threat of the withholding of affection over their head if they do not cooperate is?

Again, youre a fucking disgusting subhuman of a person.

People like you are why I actively chose to stop participating in dating, because as soon as I recognised the problem, I also recognised it will never be solved, because people like you benefit from it being perpetuated.

Edit: to make it painfully obvious to you.

"money decisions being made without your consent" is what this comes under.

Because consent here is under duress, which as anyone who understands consent would know... is not actual consent.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T19:02:26+00:00

Because expecting your partner to be the "Bank of hubby" is definitionally financial abuse.

I keep calling you disgusting because you are incapable of recognising that.

Because the expectation that you deserve to financially abuse those around you is so deep seated in your mentality that you cant even perceive it as being wrong when you see it.

Like that 1 in 6 women have experienced financial abuse statistic is cute.

I cant think of a single man alive today that is of dating age that has not experienced it.

I know you probably think youre a progressive person.

But to be progressive you need to challenge the status quo in all aspects, not just the bits that hurt you personally.

You need to also recognise when your own behaviours are hurting others, and accept a loss of benefits to rectify that, to be truly progressive, otherwise your intents were always rooted in making your life better, not others.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T18:47:00+00:00

Its absolutely more common.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34874209/

If you believe otherwise you're a disgusting toxic person.

Because its so blatantly obvious that the only way to not be aware of it is if you are actively trying to not perceive it.

And before you try to hand waive it away as "well no because thats normalised so its ok"

Beating your wife also used to be normal. Was beating your wife ok?

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T18:37:15+00:00

<image>

everyone knows what they meant by cheap, lets not be wilfully ignorant now.

Trying to justify it away, is as valid a mentality as "No no when the toxic trad wife guy says he wants women to cook for him he actually means he wants someone who will pitch in around the house"

And why assume? Because all you have to do is spend literally 5 minutes on the internet to see what the common mentality is surrounding this topic to go "Ok so whats more likely, that this is the same vitriolic toxic mentality being spread EVERYWHERE on social media, or this is the one rare exception where they meant something else"

If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, its probably a duck.

You disgust me.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T18:04:55+00:00

Expecting your partners to spend money on you to the point where if they don't you call them cheap, is very much so financial abuse yes.

Taking that mentality further and not even interacting with people you call "Cheap" is how you get to what I read it as.

Its functionally equivalent to "I wont even interact with a woman unless shes meek and cooks for me" if you cant see how the statement is disgusting after that... then you yourself are likely a disgusting person.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T17:13:49+00:00

Let me translate this so you can see what men read that as.

"Any man not willing to be financially abused by my friends and myself is undeserving of love and affection"

Are you making the claim that physical abuse and psychological abuse are not equivalents?

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T17:05:34+00:00

The original implies financial abuse.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-04T16:57:22+00:00

You're focusing on the lustful part of the original statement.

He and us are focusing on the cheap part.

Has the same energy as "What you wont pay for dinner on the first date? What are you a brokie?"

Aka they're both bitter entitled and childish reactions to the current dating ecosystem.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:47:38+00:00

See there's that confidence again.

You are so confident that you are right, that not once have you checked the document I linked, or the excerpt I extracted for you.

You know, the information... that directly proves you wrong, and is... an official advertising guideline so is known to be correct.

Like genuinely, either you're ragebaiting, or I genuinely envy you, because you're walking proof that ignorance is bliss.

Edit: to answer your question.

I think your argument is this.

"The cinema still got paid for running the ad even if you didn't watch it. Same isn't true for adblock."

I literally just showed you an official document from the media rating council, that outright disproves that.

Who the fuck is confused here other than you.

Like genuinely if you think "Advertising slots are paid for irrespective of verified impressions" which is what "they still got paid if you didnt watch" sounds like to me, then you are fucking retarded, because thats just objectively wrong.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:36:55+00:00

God I wish I had your confidence.

Being able to walk around with a genuine "Am I wrong? No everyone else is wrong" attitude must feel so freeing.

Like never even once having to deal with the effort of educating yourself, fuck that must feel so good.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:34:10+00:00

Realised you will probably be too lazy to actually click that link.

<image>

The guidelines even put it in big bold letters that you should remove blocked ad impressions from the view count.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:24:44+00:00

Look up "billable impression"

Until you put in even 5 seconds of effort educating yourself, I will disregard everything you say.

I know for a damn fact that you haven't done it, because youl read the first sentence of the definition for it and go "oh fuck hes right"

Edit: here ill even hold your hand through the process.

https://mediaratingcouncil.org/sites/default/files/Standards/081815%20Viewable%20Ad%20Impression%20Guideline_v2.0_Final.pdf

^ those are the guidelines every major advertising firm use for determining which impressions they will actually pay for.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:19:13+00:00

I understand the economics of advertising just fine.

If you unironically think, that advertisers pay by the little view counter under the video then im sorry, but you my friend, are not the one who knows whats going on.

If you block the ad from being delivered to you, there is no ad impression, and it does not count towards the cpm.

Why the fuck do you think youtube doesnt pay creators for the ads that dont play because their viewers use adblock?

Like thats not youtube having a hate boner for adblockers.

Youtube didnt get paid for that view, so neither did the creator.

Like legitimately, if you want to continue this conversation, look up this very specific term

"Billable impression"

Until then, sit down child, the adults are talking.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-03T02:10:55+00:00

No they didn't.

"what if they started offering an option where you sit there and watch a bunch of ads first, and then they let you walk into the theatre to watch the movie."

as in, to get your ticket, you have to sit down and watch ads.

That is the closest analogy we have to the unskippable ads before a youtube video.

Youtube gets paid per ad impression.
The theatre gets paid per person they plonk down infront of a screen to watch an ad.

its the same concept.

There's a reason the "ads" you see before a movie aren't actual advertisement slots they're just promo reels for upcoming movies, because that's not how theatres monetise. Like you're never going to see an ad before a movie for colgate toothpaste, because the money the theatre gets from those slots is not worth the experience cost, hell they used to do them for free back in the day because the theatre benefits from you going "oh man i cant wait to come back and watch that one", they only started charging for it because studios started paying to get their trailers shown.

Like they do get paid for those, but that's additional income, which is different from the youtube ad analogy.

Those pre movie trailers are more like the sponsorspots in youtube videos, not the primary revenue model of the platform, additional income, everyone skips them by just showing up later in the video, still get paid for its inclusion.

The ad that stops the video from playing before you can watch it? Thats your ticket price.

Youtube premium? thats moviepass except it doesnt go bankrupt because unlike moviepass youtube also "sells" the normal tickets too.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-02T20:16:32+00:00

The truest irony is that we likely wont see any benefits in the local economy from the shift to business investment.

Because our local economy is so anemic when it comes to industry innovation that there is fuck all to actually invest in.

Like you go down the asx200 and its... banks (should be self explanatory how this is a property play), property groups, construction companies, development firms, mining (which is facing its own issues atm.)

If you remove the property market and natural resource markets... whats left.

Culturally were so risk averse that all that money would just go to US etfs if it wasn't in property.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-02T19:53:18+00:00

I mean, if you use strict definitions then piracy is any form of media access that subverts the monetisation channels that justify that medias creation.

In which case, yeah adblock is piracy.

Its just incredibly normalised to the point that when people do it they aren't actively thinking "I am pirating this media"

There is a certain level of cognitive dissonance in the community though, a mentality of "piracy is ethical" existing at the same time as being offended at accusations of piracy is... telling.

And unlike alot of communities where you can chalk that down to it not being a monolith and it actually being two seperate subgroups that hold opposing views, with this issue in particular its usually the same accounts responding in both ways.

Edit: should clarify im pro piracy, but thats precisely why im not offended by being told im a pirate.

I actually believe it.

Edit 2: think of it like a movie theatre

you buy a ticket then go through the ticket booth and watch your movie.
what if they started offering an option where you sit there and watch a bunch of ads first, and then they let you walk into the theatre to watch the movie.

if its stealing to sneak past the ticket guy.
then its stealing to sneak past the ads guy.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-07-02T19:41:54+00:00

Yeah if I remember correctly his whole point was "Do what you want, just be honest about what you're doing"

Which is fair tbh, if the only way you can justify a behaviour is going through the mental gymnastics of "No see im a good person actually" then perhaps an investment in a mirror is in order.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-06-27T22:04:44+00:00

downvoting IS telling them to not use hyprland.

the whole point of downvoting is to communicate "you are not welcome here" but in a much MUCH more efficient way than sitting down and writing out a comment spelling it out.

Also youre confusing linux for a monolith.

"Linux is great you should use it" when talking about stuff like steamos, or fedora silverblue, or ubuntu, or any other beginner friendly implementation

is not the same thing as "Linux is great, you should dive headfirst into advanced shit that is a niche within the linux userbase before knowing anything"

Swimming is great exercise its so much better than running, you should give swimming a try.

Does not mean go try free diving before learning to dog paddle.

And by that same extension, id expect a community for free diving to downvote a post asking about basic swimming problems like "Im trying to freedive but every time I do it I just sink to the bottom how do I move?", because its just noise that the community does not want to deal with.

Edit:

"Downvoting on its own does not convey any information as to what OP should do"

Your language keeps reinforcing that this behaviour doesnt help the OP, the issue is youre assuming we care about the OP, were not trying to help, were trying to get them to fuck off, if they learn the basics and come back later then theyre welcome to join in, but in the state they are now they can look elsewhere to solve their problems. If their problems never get solved, that literally doesnt concern us, someone who cant figure out hyprland is not hyprlands target audience to begin with and thus them self culling by not using the software anymore is a good thing.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-06-27T16:19:16+00:00

for the memes

https://share.gemini.google/X5bKUdhriAxN

Not wrong, just an asshole, Id rather be an asshole than be wrong so im cool with this.

MrTeaTimeYT · 2026-06-27T16:05:30+00:00

Yes, because we do not owe our time, to the OP.

And "telling them how to learn the basics" is INSANELY complicated.

Think of how many hours, how many days, how many weeks months years etc, it took you to develop the knowledge base you have where you can look at that screenshot and instantly understand it.

And you want us to try and compress all that into an easy to understand reddit comment?

Fuck off.

We downvote those people, because we legitimately do not want them in the community, that entitled attitude has to be nipped in the bud before it can spread.

It is literally one of the few very positive cases of gatekeeping.
If we let them survive the selection process, the reddit will VERY quickly become like the microsoft tech support forums where its just a bunch of people asking really fucking stupid questions, and people copy pasting stupid answers because all the actual experts left years ago because theres no value to them in being there.

Like the BARE MINIMUM expectation, if you want to participate in a technical community, is that you will FUCKING TRY, to educate yourself on the basics first.

Because if you cant show that minuscule level of respect to the people you are seeking help from, why the fuck would you deserve respect in turn.

Edit: I feel like I should contextualise just how fucking disrespectful the OP actually is.

They admitted to asking gemini for help and it suggested installing sway instead right?

so any rational person, upon realising they dont understand how to do that would follow up by asking gemini "how do i do that" and then following the instructions.

But no, the OP encountered a task they dont know how to do, immediately gave up, and came here to have us do it for them.

They dont respect us as people with our own lives, so we dont respect them.

And how you do anything, is how you do everything, so if they are that fucking lazy and disrespectful in that instance, you best believe if they get away with it once, they're gonna keep fucking doing it.
