  1. ~~British~~ colonialism bad.

  2. This goes far before the British. Before the British, there were the Mughals. This part of the indian culture is old and predates either of these two. The caste system has been around forever.

Edit: Bit of clarity.

I do think we may be over-prescribing these to a certain degree, but I know people whose lives are impacted for the better due to medication for ADHD, for example. Its easy to understand when you see someone with severe symptoms one day, then calmer and more focused the next.

I mean there are restaurants and a hotel, though.

You seem alright and I agree that gamebryo is typically crash heavy. I really didn't mean it as an attack on you personally and apologize for conflating your opinion with someone else's.

I do feel very strongly that whatever engine they use should support user generated mods, but let's be real, I probably won't have the time to spend on it anyway.

[–] denshirenji 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I very much agree with what you are saying. If the engine changes we will lose mods, or at the very least there will be significantly fewer. I don't make a habit of playing many games from 2012... except for Skyrim. I also dont play many games from 2001, except for Morrowind. I will spend hours or even days setting up a modding environment. Please let me have that for future Bethesda titles.

Also people calling us folks that like user-made mods shills, when they are trying to force a shift to the very much corporate owned Unreal Engine is funny.

I can't stand it when a perfectly fine joke gets downvoted. Did you plan on downvotes? Did you you just sabotage your own comment?

[–] denshirenji 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wholeheartedly agree!

I have had some time to think about it, and I should have included the word systemic instead of serious. I still stand by my overall point with regard to what the idiom actually means. I don't believe that its a good thing to misrepresent something just to prove a point.

I kind of think this is also a bit misleading. Isn't the point of the phrase that you should remove the bad apple lest it affect the rest. As in, "If you leave the bad apple in the barrel it will spoil the bunch. So remove it before it does." I don't quite think that its really being misappropriated.

From your link a translated original proverb:

“Well better is a rotten apple out of the store

Than that it rot all the remnant."

So, by that logic, if you get those bad apples put before they spoil the bunch then they were "just bad apples".

To be clear I'm not saying the phrase isn't being used to minimize serious issues. But the point of the phrase wasn't that one bad apple means the entire bunch is already rotten, but that you need to remove the bad elements before the rot spreads.

TBF, they're both equally as dumb.

...bruh

That honestly sounds like a conspiracy theory. You think that a bunch of people and corporations are putting time, money and energy into these projects to break the very thing they are designed for? I really think you should do some research on exactly how the Wayland project got its start and who was involved. Spoiler, it was a bunch of Xorg developers as I understand it.

Plus the fact that desktop Linux was already fragmented by its nature. You think they want to fragment the already fragmented thing under the pretext of improvement? Fragment it by what? Providing a newer standard that is better enough than the old, that it actually convinces most groups to adopt it.

Its legit the opposite, but the beauty of right now is that the various fragmented Linux ecosystems (distros, desktop environments, etc) are more alive and more healthy now than ever before.

Edit: grammar and clarity

I use FreeIPA and it works just fine for everything I would need AD for. Your point still stands. I just mean there are good enough alternatives for the Linux environment.
