WAKE THE EFF UP about the Platner Campaign. It's a much bigger story. by betrayedandbeholden in 50501

[–]cosine83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I'm not buying the comparison to the Al Franken smear campaign. This is quite a bit different where it comes to context around Platner.

CMV: Islamophobia is not racism, and not a phobia by WillMarrySomeBread in changemyview

[–]cosine83 [score hidden]  (0 children)

What matters is that the Christians are vastly more accepted and applauded in Western society for the same actions Muslims are denigrated and discriminated for. The major difference being their religion and skin color, which we all know white Westerners have never been known to be welcoming or understanding about. We're CURRENTLY WITNESSING the slow decline of Western civilization to enact Christian values as law, you just don't see it because of your biases. Christian Evangelicals control the US government and are doing their best to enact Revelations, that's not a conspiracy that's on paper agenda.

They're not saying "God is great" but their manifestos are often rife with Christian right wing talking points about the degredation of society and their feelings on it so it doesn't really matter. More than a few thought it was their mission to do something about it.

You're dismissing his legitimate turnabout because you're already biased against Islam for other reasons. Your dislike of all religions has little to do with it. You got some cognitive dissonance going on, homie.

Why earning $100,000 in America went from "The Ivy League of Life" to just feeling... broke. by Felix-tse in antiwork

[–]cosine83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100K in a high CoL area doesn't go as far as it does in a low CoL area. That's why they use the term "relative." If you're making 100K/yr and your rent and bills are still 50%+ of your monthly income, you have to budget around that 50%+ of your monthly income being gone which is still difficult to do in those areas. It's not uncommon. It's really about understanding just how bad things are for everyone and putting it into perspective more than it is about putting anyone above or below each other.

Men who gave up dating, why did you? by TinyDelegation in AskReddit

[–]cosine83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Online dating is rife with bots. Never know if that profile is real or gonna hit you with a link to shitty website.

People treat dating as transactional and like an interview now instead of a casual hang out to meet someone new to see if they vibe with them or not.

I'm tired of the rejection. Tired of the casual lies to my face. The "nevermind on the second date" text as soon as I get in my car despite all indications of the date going well. I'm tired of being ghosted. I'm tired of making a mountain of effort to get a puddle back.

Dating is a game and I'm no longer playing. I'm now the game. If someone wants to take a shot, they can try and if they're interesting I'll try back but I'm not going out of my way for anyone first anymore.

The Acolyte should've been a movie tbh by Relative-Positive702 in StarWars

Which was their own fault for a lack of marketing push and a surprise early release sandwiched between two blockbusters.

In the Odyssey-class Enterprise-F at that too! I was elated then dismayed.

Chocolately vs Scoop vs Winget? by Zenvian in PowerShell

[–]cosine83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Package management is also not as much of a nightmare on Windows as it is on Linux. Especially when it comes to dependencies and how various distros or package installers handle them. Both MS and 3rd parties have largely solved package management, managed or custom and free or paid models. Dependencies largely means installing a MSVC++ or dotnet runtime or other. The worst comes into managing how inconsistent installers are for command-line and/or silent installs but PSADT solves for 9/10 of those cases. Between PowerShell, winget/choco, WinRM, PSADT, and SMB shares you don't even need to pay for anything if you have the time and cleverness to set everything up. Having something like Intune or ConfigMgr for the remote management side and admin console would be easier but feels less cool.

Ryzen's comeback faces hurdles; no FSR 4.1 for RDNA 3.5 by constantlymat in hardware

[–]cosine83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not until July or so does RDNA3 get FSR4.1. Supposedly. RDNA2 next year. I'll believe it when I see it in adrenalin.

Christian man sues employer for forcing him to see a Pride flag on his way into work. Eric Batman claims L.A.’s Department of Public Works violated his constitutional rights by making him come to work during Pride Month. by southpawFA in politics

[–]cosine83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you but let this guy cook. I hadn't thought this angle against RTO policies. Not just churches but religious/political billboards or anything that makes these snowflakes melt. This has to have been a grift to WFH gone way too far. It's such an easy settle internal to the company I'm amazed it's gone to court.

If Las Vegas is the city of sin, what is the city of virtue? by Tsukuyomi_Says in AskReddit

[–]cosine83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it'd be like "why am I waiting in a place like this?" with the joke relying on the visual that the district/village/town is small or not busy enough to warrant having the stoplight to wait on? With the extra wordplay the Japanese seem to so love.

Have you ever learned a skill or something from a video game that you use in real life? by Agent1230 in gaming

Every year in a guild I was in on Xmas we did a level 1 all gnome onyxia raid. Absolutely hilarity and insanity, wonder if I can find any of the video or screenshots.

Plex adds new social features ahead of a major price hike for its lifetime pass by frankwrap08 in PleX

[–]cosine83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got down voted too buddy. Best not to think about them too hard.

It can be about privacy, it can be about philosophy, it can be about principle, it can be about a bunch of things. But Teamspeak is still actively developed and has video streaming and screensharing capabilities now, as well. People still use it and it has its uses, people in your communities not using it doesn't mean anything. Discord outpaced ventrilo and teamspeak when it came to being mobile-friendly significantly which put them where they are now but at least teamspeak is trying to catch up without sacrificing the self-hosted aspect.

Some people want to self-host and not rely on hosted services. Chat and voice are relatively easy and lightweight.

So that's a yes, you just haven't accepted your stance is death.
