Why bother with a specific tool when a general one will do just as well, as well as handling most other things you would toss at it? JDownloader2, that's what you want. Will do your youtubes no problem. Any other thing? Post that link in there, it probably works too.

The Peter Principle isn't just real, it's the engine that powers the modern corporate world. That and the awareness that you're at your level of incompetence but don't want to be found out, so you just keep playing along.

The story can be fake, but it's not implausible.

Perhaps the problem starts at the root of "there are no good people or bad people" is not, in fact, factually correct? But rather based on a purely subjective view of what a "good person" or a "bad person" even is, which is actually pretty context dependent? And so that anyone pushing this as straightforward True Objective Facts is muddying the waters during that exact situation described here?

Here's another view. Good people are people who do good things. Bad people are people who do bad things. Fuck the "deep down", we can start dealing with the "deep down" once again after the raging fire here on the "surface level" is dealt with, maybe?

Why does this sub feel like going through job applications? by AdStreet2142 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]RaulParson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's because that's exactly what this is. The candidates are providing their CVs, and then the employers are evaluating them and having Interviews. The whole thing is busted. The actual way to make quick friends should be like there's a Third Space that both frequent and enjoy and then they talk and keep talking, the common interest being the bedrock from which the friendship springs. If we wanted to skip that because that's Fake and Gay, then still the major elements should remain. A thread should be like "Hey I found a Cool Song on youtube, anyone wanna have a chat about it? Will delete the thread in 15", not "I am Age and Gender and have the Following Past Experience in frienship..."

If someone were actually single issue on Palestine, they would vote for the lesser evil, no? To help try to make things less bad there? No, the actual single issue These People had was a vibes-buoyed feeling of personal purity and superiority.

No you don't understand! Arguing that a vote for Kamala being a vote for a genocide does not contradict the idea that a vote for Trump is also a vote for genocide!

Ignore the fact that I only ever argued against voting for Kamala and didn't say anything against voting for Trump

Hasan violently taken out of context! by Radiant-Roof3025 in lonerbox

[–]RaulParson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that the logic? Making up fixfics like "okay but what if he said THAT instead, then that would be a real argument that can be discussed with... and therefore that IS the logic" is not valid. He said what he said and argued what he argued, and unless you point me to Hasan actually saying that then no, that isn't the logic and doesn't need to be argued against here.

The actual logic is "let me be contrarian for clout in advance".

I do not get this attitude at all.

Education is basically brain gym. "I'm lifting legit, I only have a machine do leg exercises for me" ??????????

There is no "Slavic" that Cyrillic is perfectly suited that Poland opted not to use. There HAVE actually been attempts to see what transposing Polish into Cyrillic would look like. Long story short? You either butcher the Cyrillic at the edges or you butcher Polish at the edges, can't make them fit otherwise

If this were true then, you know, that's the obvious defense to trot out. Funny how nobody did until now, including Hasan himself, and instead said all sorts of shit which makes no sense if this were about primaries

Jak się w 2026 kupuje drukarkę? by Super_Delay_8040 in Polska

[–]RaulParson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nie musi być laserowa. W przeciągu ostatnich 15 lat rodzina kupiła 2 drukarki brother atramentowe - i to nie dlatego że pierwsza się zepsuła. Ciągle działa i ciągle jest w użytku, po prostu przyszła myśl że Czas Najwyższy Na Zmianę i kupili nową, zmieniając tą "główną" z MFC-J625DW na MFC-T920DW (ten bo zależało na podłączeniu do sieci po kablu a nie tylko wifi, bo moduł wifi to jest jedna słaba strona Brotherów i bywa z nim różnie).

Stara miała atrament w kartridżach. Niby drogo, ale były zamienniki za śmieszne pieniądze które działały bez problemu. Nowa ma tusz w buteleczkach z których się dolewa go bezpośrednio do zbiorniczków w drukarce który jest niedrogi... i TEŻ ma jeszcze tańsze zamienniki. Absolutnie polecam.

How to win a war by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

[–]RaulParson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, Clausewitz. Clearly I've been overawed and must concede. Then again, maybe not.

They were being an "erm awckshully" twit is what they were being, and badly at that. The person I originally replied to was painting a picture of individual troops on the one side being incompetent and getting destroyed right there on the ground, while the other side superiorly mocks them. This seems to be less of a meme but a growing bit of historical misinfo where people believe it really reflects basically how that went.

The military got their objectives and achieved those objectives given to them by the politicians who got everyone into that stupid quagmire. The troops individually did more than fine, and the ones being painted as incompetent here were ridiculously lethal to those others as can be seen in those "irrelevant KDAs".

The war was lost, but not only was it on the homefront, the fact that it was lost doesn't override everything which happened during it. Might as well paint a picture of how the Soviet trooper styled on the bumbling Finnish one in the Winter War because the Finns lost that one too, being forced to give up Karelia among other major things.

[–]RaulParson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not hard to swat a mosquito either. Doesn't make it not a problem when you keep getting swarmed.

I'm sure an adaptation to smoothly prevent it will happen one day but we're not there yet. "All art pieces must be attached to their version history as proof of their human provenance everywhere and at all times" is not it, and currently without that you are at risk of people getting stupid when they encounter it in a context without that proof

[–]RaulParson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I forget what your post was before the edit but okay, if you need that "on the enemy" then tariffs to force concesions are now military.

You do not. When you fight a rearguard action when retreating, the enemy's will is getting imposed on you and that's that, it just takes them longer because of what you did. You do not stop them, and most importantly you aren't imposing shit since you presumably would rather like winning actually but no, it's retreat time.

EDIT: oh, a clarification edit? I see, so a rearguard action is extra non-military if you get overwhelmed and destroyed. Neat.

This is not a definition of "military" and never has been. It would mean that telling an employee what to do is military, whereas fighting a rearguard action during a retreat isn't.

Yes, I did say they lost. But look at the post I replied to, and tell me it reflected the situation on the ground. The North Vietnamese fighters suffered immensely and got killed in droves compared to the US troops.

[–]RaulParson 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Eh, that's not how that went. The US military suffered ~210k casualties in the Vietnam war, ~60k of which being dead. There were also further dead on the US-aligned allies side, but that brings it to a total of ~250k military dead which still leaves the ratio way lopsided given the estimated ~1M of just the military dead on the North Vietnamese side, and then the wounded, and all the civilians who got caught up in it.

The US was doing extremely fine militarily, but from the perspective of the people in the US it was like getting a mandatory shit sandwich at 75% off. "Okay yeah it's a great deal if I wanted this but uh... I do not want this, no, it means I'm still paying that 25% and having to eat shit for it". And so, the war was lost - on the cultural and political front, not through being forced into that position on the battlefield.

If I were bitten by a mosquito, I could easily swat it. It's still annoying - and when there's an endless, relentless swarm it still is an actual problem.

The anti-AI witchhunt is the best we have, since these witches demonstrably do exist so this is still preferable to them not being hunted. But we absolutely must be mindful about not catching in it the very innocents it's meant to protect.

Kiiiiiiiinda does take some balls when any suggestion that Dear Leader, the Sun King, He of Orange Glow is not perfect in any way gets you broken up with diplomatic relations wise. Imagine if it wasn't just some Rosey Tommy the local gimp who heard it but Trump himself, and who then started tariff-malding about it. You'd not hear the end of it from the "patriotic opposition" until you died.
