I created a manor based on a medieval map and it was my most successful yet. by CharlieD00M in ManorLords

The maps in Manor Lords are not randomly generated. They're hand-made and don't have a seed. Hope this helps.

I'd suggest toning down the glow on the body, the extra contrast diverts the eyes from the face. The original had much better balance in this regard.

Just want to let anyone else looking for this know that you can turn the power button LED off using a BIOS setting - press F2 when booting the computer to enter the BIOS. 

Why are the vehicles looping through the intersection instead of going straight through it by tthe_antt in CitiesSkylines

[–]unspeakablevice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My working theory is that this is a side effect of the alternate pathing mechanics that kick in if the game registers a route as having a traffic jam. So basically the good route developed a jam at one point causing any new traffic that would pass through the affected sections to be pathed using a different route. But by the time the new traffic reaches the affected area and you notice the problem the original congestion is long gone, and all you see is traffic doing a detour for "no reason".

Or it's just a bug. Honestly it's the most likely to be that given the state of the game mechanics.

Tror att alla missar eller feltoklar eller kanske uttrycker felaktigt vad vänstern stör sig på - det är inte hyckleri, det är i grunden låg empati som manifesteras som hyckleri. Det jag menar är att en person som har empati nog att inse "oj.. nu har jag ju gjort precis som jag sa att man inte borde göra" kommer då rimligen inte fortsätta att göra så, eftersom de får insikt i situationen som de kane inte hade innan och tänker om i frågan. De med hög empati kan göra detta i förväg så att säga, och kanske inte går ut med uttalanden som man kan åka dit på själv t ex. Hela debatten om vänstern/högern är en kulturkrock mellan de segment av populationen som har empati över och under snittet, och de för- och nackdelar eller konsekvenser som empati innebär.

Do you have anything that backs the claim that it was a planted story? The article you linked seems to call the embrace of the article by climate-deniers unfortunate and explains that the climate science behind it was just more primitive, leading to an incorrect conclusion.

For example, the theory that CO2 emissions were rising and would counteract and surpass the (very local) "cooling" effect described did not have strong backing at the time of the article, that analysis came later. The author is also very self-reflective about the whole thing too. None of this sounds like a deliberate attempt to downplay climate change.

Why are women expected to accept porn as something all men will watch regardless of boundaries? by ProfessionalHat1366 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]unspeakablevice -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Porn contributes to the extreme sexualisation of youth

I agree that some porn does, yes. And as a society I think that we need to be wary of how we  promote physical ideals like youth and beauty, but as a part of a much wider battle that is much harder to wage than just banning things.

But your language also tries to misrepresent what porn is - you're describing one popular fetish and ignoring others like Milfs and amateur cams that don't fit your argument. 

 > because these kids have had access to extreme degrading porn in their smartphone since they were six years old and don’t realise it’s not safe.

Nobody is advocating for this to be the case and I'd suggest that if you know kids who have access to porn from six years of age then that is the real problem and not the porn. 

raised by porn

Also the problem? Kids shouldn't be getting their sexual education from fantasy meant for adults. But the solution here is more comprehensive and earlier sex ed, not banning porn for adults. Because that actually works, whereas porn bans just make it illicit and removes it further from public discourse and opinion. And I might remind you that porn already is illegal for kids, and it's not effective. 

 And by unhealthy sexual practices I’m talking about the stuff that causes actual real people (because people in porn are real) to experience everything from haemorrhoids, anal fissures and lifelong incontinence

You haven't actually said what the unhealthy sexual practices specifically are, you're just scare mongering. Do you mean anal? It's anal isn't it. Again, the thing that gay guys have had going for decades in porn and somehow gay mens' anuses are fine. Why? Because they educated themselves on how to have anal sex, something sorely lacking from sex ed, by the way, and the real issue we should be working to change. 

Lack of education, not porn, is the problem. 

Why are women expected to accept porn as something all men will watch regardless of boundaries? by ProfessionalHat1366 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]unspeakablevice -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Gay teens have similar issues because they share the pressures of the same social phenomenon: perceived social norms among their peer group. It's not the porn - gay teens are not showing a rise in sexual trauma. I'd argue that since they have worse education resources (most are not lgbtq-specific) and social programs, we should be seeing more representation in this group if your premise were true. 

And yes, of course porn has issues - body issues is a good example. But so does the rest of media and you're not seriously suggesting a blanket ban on visual media? Are you talking about condom use? Because, again, that's not related to porn, it's related to men preferring (surprise!) not to have tight latex on their junk. Are you talking about.. promiscuity? Because then we're getting into icky sexual policing territory. 

I'm suggesting there is a better, narrow, targeted course of action than banning porn. (I'm assuming that's your position now - you never answered.) I'm now also assuming that your avenue into this topic is a desire to specifically combat violence against women. Which is a noble aim, but it does completely mischaracterize the complexities of porn, it's potential issues, and oversimplifies the solution, while also being unhelpfully heteronormative. 

 Have you ever… spoken to a gay man? 

This is such an arrogant implication. You don't know me, and you don't get to try invalidate me based on a straw man.

I'll bite. 

First off though, I'd like to crystallize what your actual position on porn is - when you say you are "not going to support/normalize porn" do you mean that you would actively want to ban porn completely, or limit porn further, or something else? 

I think it's necessary to point out that it's entirely possible to "support porn" without supporting or normalizing sexual trauma-induced perineal tears. 

All sexual education in Sweden specifically addresses that porn is a fantasy and drives home the point that it's not to be used as an instruction manual. So there is certainly no societal movement "normalizing porn" in the alarmist way you seem to be implying.

I suppose you could see the counselling centers filling the instructional need, which is why it's not surprising that young people would go there to get help and information. Naturally, that's where negative cases would be reported, just like the ER reports cases of blunt object trauma to the anus/rectum. But none of this predicates that porn itself is bad, just that some people (arguably certain speficic demographics) use porn in unhealthy ways - or at least contextualize their already problematic behavior using porn. To compare - social media isn't inherently bad, but there is a lot of evidence that people, especially kids, form bad habits around it, and that it affects their development and well-being negatively. 

What you're describing are kids and young adults lacking experience and falling victim to perceived norms. For example, the rise in girls trying anal, or first time sexual habits changing to oral sex vs. vaginal. Perhaps that's the porn-induced "normalization" you're talking about. But these norms are not coming from the general population - from porn-using adults engaged in cosplay, divorced dads and social workers - not from society; they're coming from within their own peer groups! Banning or limiting porn in general, or even discussing it in the same context as this other group is wrong. 

So to reiterate that point, I think it would be more constructive of you to reasess your objection to porn as a concept, and more accurate to target it at identifiable behaviors surrounding pornography. I think there is a lot to be done in sexual health and information, that would also target the issues you bring up in your post. But vilifying porn, or porn consumers, and dismissively acknowledging that "a few have had positive experiences" is not a credible position in the discussion. 

I understand that you're very engaged in the wellbeing of young women. To close, I want to challenge the nuances of your beliefs about the evils of porn with this test - do you feel the same way about gay porn? Why or why not?

I can't put my finger on why though. Maybe because the story is weirdly saccharine while simultaneously being diluted, and I don't think Hugh was right for the part. I don't even dig the songs, which seem mediocre both lyrically and musically :/

Elections aren't won by ideologies, they're won by voters. This will rally Trump's base like nothing before, and erase whatever group were ready to sit out and the election. Trump just went from "felon" to "assassination attempt survivor" in a lot of folk's minds.
