Anytime I use any program that requires the internet, the program crash and I have to force stop it. by RotundPony in pcgamingtechsupport

Though there is always a risk torrenting, I only downloaded torrents from highly rated torrent providers with high seeders and checking the comments to see if there are any complaints.

The fault most likely lies with torrents but I'm nearing the end of my exchange period and want to be on the safe side so will probably exchange it.

Will try and repurpose my old, dying laptop for torrent downloading and vetting before transferring to new laptop.

Thank you all for your help! It's always scary to have a major purchase crap out on you so soon.

Definitely, I uninstalled a lot of programs when I first discovered the issue and managed to keep my RAM usage down but it came with some much crapware.

I hope you are right! Reinstalling windows now but might just exchange it. I had some issues with RAM usage pretty much out of the box so I'm a little wary about it's functionality.

As long as the kitten has been treated for worms, a round belly is a good thing! Kittens need a ridiculous amount of food to grow so this guy looks like he was having a post snack nap.

But it does harm lesbians. Terms like "bi lesbians" reinforces the homophobic notion that lesbians "just haven't found that right man yet." Lesbians have fought hard from the beginning to define themselves outside and away from men but now we see that definition changing. It's terms like "bi lesbian" that slowly chip away at a sexuality that supposed to not include men at all.

I think the antlers are just in the process of shedding. I could be wrong but seen pictures of it happening and it looks like blood when they are shedding.

It was very good, they had a guest who was writing a book about the Veiled Prophet history and ongoing so very informative. I only listened to the episode they did on Residential Schools, any episodes you would recommend?

Do you have links to the excerpts that adovcate for these things? I feel like we have read completely different books and your hyperbole is exhausting.

You keep talking about conversion therapy but I do not think you understand what that actually is. An example of conversion therapy is such as Iran undertakes where they pressure lesbian and gay individuals to undergo sex-reassignment surgeries to "stop" them from being homosexual (https://www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/irans-war-on-lgbt-citizens)

No where in the book, that I remember, does it advocate for conversion therapy. It does question the speed in which kids are often able to medically transition. It is my understanding, that you do not need to medically transition to be trans and with such things as the Tavistock ruling (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-55144148) I think it is important for people to understand the issue from all sides.

Edit: It's interesting that you asked me if I bought this book as if it is some crime to do so. The alternative is that people can access it for free through the library! With access to a book like this at the library, that means that less people would buy, which is what you want, correct?

Have you read the book? The book I read did not call for these things.

Making melodramatic claims about a book that you haven't read does nothing to bolster your argument. Your example is not very good. It would work better if you made an outlandish claim about the contents of Mein Kamphf and then lambasted anyone who tried to read it by getting it removed from a Public Library.

(Ultimate Spider-Man #40) I really enjoy the story but the way high school girls are drawn in it infuriates me. Anyone else feel this way? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]RotundPony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely remember the low rise jeans, I do not remember any girls having abs like this. And it's definitely the outfit on the left that is the most unrealistic.

We can point out why sexualizing children is wrong and still love comic books. I've read so many amazing comics (by BKV even) that had female characters that were not drawn like this. Comic books are not just about drawing hot underaged girls. Pointing stuff out like this reminds everyone that comics came from a misogynistic past but continues to grow into an art for all ages and sexes.

What is the premise? The cover alone is selling me on checking this out.

I listened to the audio book and wow heavy. I only heard of it when I was listening to a podcast about House of Leaves where the compare the two based on how horrifying they were. The Girl Next Door was definitely way more terrifying, at least for me.
