tbh, that’s a fair question. I would have asked them same thing, if only to hope you’d say something like:

“What, no. The horses didn’t die. It was a movie. They pretended to kill them.”

Especially if you’re already emotionally worked up.

That’s called “being caught off guard”.

Or maybe she was just messing with him, who knows.

three, on three different instances. It’s called redundancy.

Well, what we need is some dedicated non-profit company making chips.

Not really.

Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.

If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.

In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is basically toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.

They predicted pron would condition men to expect sex on demand and sexual assault rates would skyrocket when in fact the opposite happened.

Reminds me of “computer games turns teenagers into killer machines” saying.

I imagine it’s similar to marihuana.

If people find out there’s an easy, relaxed life, they don’t work so hard, hurting corporate profits.

As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:

Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.

This reminds me of The Four Leaved Clover

Beware that four leaved clovers can also be seen as a sign of good luck.

Das Chaos, das sich selbst bezwingt,
indem es langsam Ordnung bringt,
gebiert aus Dunkelheit und Dreck
schön langsam, aber stetig, Form und Zweck,
kurz: Leben, das sich selbst erhält,
und auch im Sturme Kraft behält,
um nach dem Regen neu zu blühn,
so wie auch wir es alle tun.

So wie die Ordnung stets in Chaos geht,
wenn keine Kraft dagegen steht,
so herrscht das Chaos nie allein:
Es braucht die Ordnung, um zu sein.

That someone is me.

This is excellent. Recognize when batteries make sense, and recognize when oil makes sense.

In this case, oil makes sense.

Yeah well, it ain’t stupid if it works.

The problem is that they’re not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.

So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn’t allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there’s that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it’s very limited.

I totally relate to this. While we’re sharing personal experiences, I’d also share mine (if that’s ok):

I made very very contradictory experiences. Some girls just seem to get angry if you don’t approach them aggressively, some girls will tell you that you’re a rapist if you even dare to look at them for too long. It’s an impossible puzzle. No matter what you do, someone will always complain. That is why I don’t take these things too seriously anymore. As long as no-one gets seriously hurt, lots of things can heal. What’s important is to use your instincts to classify the situation, and act with an “open heart”. Then most things go well, and those that don’t mostly fail because of other, unrelated reasons. Such as pressure from the environment.

I ask you to recognize that “women” are as diverse as humanity as a whole.

Saying that all women are equal or want the same stuff, is like saying, all humans want the same stuff. Which just isn’t true. Maybe you should consider that doing statistics like “most women want that” is not going to give you a full picture of the situation.

ok good to know

And iirc, the beer was diluted with the local water from the river, to increase its mass while still also making the river water safe(r) to drink.

I would say that both are interesting proposals to look at. Of course, doing the math and crafting the best approach is work and takes time, and I can’t give many details in a lemmy comment.
