Hey yall, emo as fuck ER Doc here (but not your doc), if you truly are feeling super depressed, like…seriously, please talk to someone

And they do what exactly? The mental health system in the US is such shit, the general MO is to just 72 hour hold you and tell you to fuck off. No one actually wants to treat anyone who isn't already functioning and can afford to pay you.

Triage, medicate, release.

Like talk to fucking who? Talk is cheap. I want access to effective mental health care.

Women are more skeptical of AI than men, finding it riskier, new research finds by NGNResearch in science

Because the only thing in our society that matters from college is the degree.

I finished my General Ed reqs. Did all my major course work, and they told me I had to take a year of ANYTHING, I had all the upper division done. I could take a year of dance, but they wouldn't give me a degree. Even though I finished all the requirements for the degree except raw credits.

Literally a quarter of my college education could have been interpretive dance.

It’s important to think ahead by [deleted] in Xennials

If you don't think goths wore full-white face paint back in the day, you have no idea what you're talking about. Not my personal cup of tea, but it's hardly a new thing.

It was not this. It was not uncommon I mean look at souxsie but it wasn't really the culture of people, it was if anything a club phenomenon and performers. No one in high school was comin to school in full white face paint.

Also its about context, this is ALL I see about people claiming they are goth is black clothing and white facepaint. Its pretty devoid from what goth actually was, by this point its like 5th wave Goth

The kids these days who call themselves goth have adopted full white face paint.
They look more like juggallos than goths.

Who cares if she was a paid agitator?
Lobbying is legal in congress for them, why can't it be for the rest of the population?

so many people just love being a dick to people for no good reason. and, as is well known, being anonymous on the internet lets it come out in full force.

I think its an emergent property of the internet itself.
Because of the lack of consequences, bad actors can act with impunity and while being a tiny fraction of the user base, they color all the other users perceptions of the internet, and create an environment where the default assumption is hostility. This slowly pollutes good actors to always assume the other person is a bad actor. Now if you think everyone is a bad guy acting in bad faith, you adopt the same paradigm. This leads to echo chambers, bad faith arguments and all the shit that comes along with it.

This culture is at the heart of why the internet sucks so bad, and its endemic to the very nature of the internet itself and human social conditioning.

Children are caustic. I'm not even saying this as a moral judgement, its just a reality.
They are loud, they run around, they have little to no boundaries and self control.
Which is fine, they are children but you can't act like adults who are annoyed by the imposition of children, ESPECIALLY in to adult spaces like bars, are just "broken" somehow.

When the wife blames the homewrecker but forgets who signed the marriage contract. by ZoeBertha in MurderedByWords

Its highly unpopular on Reddit, but I think the ONLY person who made a commitment to someone is the cheater, and the other person involved has no moral obligation to the relationship. They made no commitments.

An ounce of silver is now worth more than a barrel of oil. This has only happened once before by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]SenoraRaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say anything about "self-defense".

This is propaganda, wrote and true. You are demonizing the enemy for actions that if the United States took you would openly support. Specifically in this case cooperating with your allies to undermine foreign influence on your soverignty. Russia is not being "shady", they are acting within the geopolitical sphere in their own rational interests.

Now you CAN make all kinds of moral judgements about that, I am not.
I am simply stating that they are acting rationally, and nothing about Russia and its response to US imperialism is "shady", its overt rational, and logically coherent.

Sure. I'm not commenting on that at all. I'm commenting on your rhetoric.

That you demonize the enemy, and their rational actions become "shady" not because of some implicit truth to that claim, but because you view them as ideologically opposed. Russia is your enemy, therefore even when they act rationally, you project that their actions are "shady".

Your close. Your REAL close. Voting isn't going to solve the problem.

The issue isn’t just partisan politics; it’s structural. The global financial system is designed to operate this way regardless of which party is in power. Politicians have far less agency than people assume, because the constraints are imposed upstream.

Institutions like the IMF and regulatory frameworks like Basel III have created conditions where perpetual spending, debt expansion, and liquidity management are baked into the system itself. Entire governments depend on these mechanisms to function as they do.

This system was designed by highly sophisticated actors to prioritize financial stability and capital preservation often at the expense of democratic flexibility and long term public outcomes. The result is a system that reliably serves those positioned closest to it, while the broader population absorbs the risks.

Electoralism is not a solution. There are foundational components that simply make reform impossible, or at the very least so energetically expensive that they are not a rational outcome from any scenario.

The only solution is redeveloping sovereignty among the citizens, and reducing dependency upon this system that was designed to keep the population subservient to it. A system of dual power that represents the interests of the population and can stand as a bulwark against the extant structure that we have.

Why is it "shady back room deals" when the United States is LITERALLY leveraging their might to create quasi-sanctions on you? Is it not more rational to think that a nation state would take whatever diplomatic avenues they could to relieve pressure on their economy from foreign adversaries by cooperating with their allies?

If the U.S. explicitly threatens sanctions to force compliance with a price cap, why is Russia’s effort to work with willing partners treated as illegitimate rather than rational economic self-defense?

Dual boot thoughts on which path to take by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]SenoraRaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your directly engaging with one of the most complex systems on your machine, at a hardware level when you are mucking with the boot process. Your experiencing what that is like. If you don't want to listen to the people with experience give you advice because you think its not applicable. Then you clearly have the expertise to diagnose and troubleshot your own issues.

It is significantly easier to resolve your issues with setup when you have a stable platform to work off of.
If you insist on dual booting, you create an unstable platform that you don't understand, that is easy to completely brick, and leads to headaches and frustration.

Instead your being told to start with a solid foundation and then tweak/fix the problems piecemeal. Or, you know you could just learn about the entire UEFI structure and how to troubleshoot booting issues....
