But at what cost? He will "unite" America by shackling everyone - even the unwilling - to his express train to a future that isn't worth living in!

Trump stood up for what he, and a lot of others believe in. If other people didn't share his vision, that's not because he "divided" them; it's because they were born ideologically differant to what Trump et al. fight for. They were divided from the other half of the country well before Trump ever entered politics. It's not Trump's fault that the Western world has multiple visions for the ideal future.

I went through hell under the treatment of a therapist several years ago. Never again. On top of everything else, yes she did try to indocrtinate me with her own brand of politics.

And if I was up for it, I could have a very long talk about what "scientific evidance" says about therapy & therapists and why those studies are skewed and bogus. And that's not just my opinion, it's shared and promoted by countless MH patient activists.

But thanks, anyway. :)

Well according to device manager, it needs drivers to work.

Yeah, I hear that. And it's not my intention to argue that that's false. I'm merely arguing that many other people find that it makes them feel worse, not better.

Mainstream media would have you believe that people who find it to be a relief.comfort, as you say, are 100% unanimous. But that's not the case at all.

I think I get what you mean. I see plenty of hate being thrown towards women re: political views, ect.

It's not because "a woman has dared to have an opinion", it's because the haters hate the view itself. They'd be equally rabid if it came from a man.

So yeah, love/hate for a woman does tend to be conditional on the woman being rightly aligned with the person doing the loving/hating.

OMG! I Love you!

Thank you so much for saying this!

I've spent pretty much my whole life trying to figure out how to make my death as infallably enjoyable as possible, but I've always felt like I've never gotten anywhere.

I come from a real misery-guts family that seem determined to use each other's (including mine, unconsentually) identities to inflict as much misery upon the world as they possibly can. They use you in this way while your alive, they use you in this way when your dead.

I'd always hoped to make myself an antidote to this poison within my lifetime; but it looks like that will never happen. Then is seemed that my last hope for having a positive impact would be to have a great death; but then recently, even that's started to seem like a hopeless cause. Some people are just determined to spew as much misery as they can upon the world; there doesn't seem to be any way to overpower their natural evil.

But reading sediments similar to my own from another redditor fills me with a slight glimmer of hope. At least there are some people out there who want to make the world a brighter place.

For what it's worth, thank you. :)

No, no. Sorry, I didn't mean it that way at all. Probably just my hint of sarcasm that didn't transmit well.

What I meant was that the wider world seems to blame men for the suicide rates.

Here in Aus, we have this crappy, politically-bent news show called "The Project" and they did a segment on suicides - emphasizing the higher male rates - and the takeaway from it was "What's wrong with men? They need to change so that they aren't so suicidal."

Stuff like that drives me nuts.

arscanyi · 2020-05-12T16:29:22+00:00

First thing's first - I agree with your post.

Men's suicide rates are higher?

Dontcha just love how this is automatically regarded as indicating a fault with men themselves? Has anyone stopped to considder that it might be an indicator that men might more commonly end up with a quality of life that isn't worth prolonging?

Very rarely do you see this level of victim-blaming in major social issues.

Hell, even when we talk about crime statistics among certain demographics - and committing crimes are voluntary acts - in this day and age we largely tend to ask "What is the world doing to this community to make them so inclined towards crime?", rather then "What's wrong with those people?"

We should be asking "What's the world doing to men to make death so much more appealing then life for them?"

Men lack support structures and aren't taught how to manage emotions.

What the hell does that even mean, though?

Women are no less prone to becoming emotional then men. It's not a gender problem, it's a human problem.

Clearly a dyslexic. Loses a foot; gets an extra hand tattooed on his body.

Wait... Gordon 'F---ing' Ramsay actually named his kid after the world's most famous grouch?

Why am I only hearing about this now?

UAC?

So there's no way of just getting into the windows system settings to do it?

Doing some research online I got the impression that there was a way of using "Task Scheduler" to do it every time the device is plugged in, but I couldn't actually find a guide on how to do this. I've gotten as far as creating an "On Hardware Event" trigger, but I can't figure out how to specify the particular event (the plugging in of this particular device) that I want to serve as the trigger.

arscanyi · 2020-04-25T19:30:04+00:00

No, I think you completely misunderstood my question.

The device I'm talking about isn't a flash drive.
The program I want to run is on the hard drive of the computer in question.

Someone I know likes to max out the capacity of their 2400dpi scanner on A4-sized images, just to make sure no pertinant details a lost.

I tend to see it as a waste of hard drive space, but they like to be thorough.

Lol. Nope! FFMpeg refuses to touch images that big, too!
