No I'm thinking in terms of we cannot revive the dead so let's not put the genocidal wannabe dictator in power for 4 years. I clearly can't stop what's currently happening but I'm sure as hell not going to vote in a way that results in more people dying more quickly.

You mistake accepting genocide with trying to prevent a worse genocide.

And if you are from a country that has gendered surnames, you live in Germany, and are trans?

The genocide argument is a really bad one. Yes the Biden administration is culpable. The Trump administration would pump more money into it and start parading around the genocide like it's a good thing.

There's voting for the side who might get tired of the public opposition and stop funding that shit, or letting the genocidal wannabe dictator win.

I mean I'm not really picking to not play anymore because I don't want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn't about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.

Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.

I'd like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it's higher than 800.

That said, I get the trade-off. I won't support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.

The number would be higher too, I doubt I was the only one who stopped playing months ago when Vanguard was supposedly going to be implemented imminently.

In Spanish KnY is "Guardianes de la Noche" (Guardians of the Night) and I've never heard a single person say that it was good. Most people I know just call it Kimetsu.

I also personally use SnK, AoT means "ahead of time" for me. For so long I was confused when people expected me to know AoT as Attack on Titan.

That said it really depends on the title. Some titles suck in other languages, some don't. I mostly pick which to use on length, how stupid the translation sounds, and if the translation is confusing for me.

I watched Apocalypto for a school paper at age 15 (from a list of options given to me), and honestly I think some softcore porn would have been better. Some rated R stuff is fine for a kid to watch, Apocalypto definitely wasn't.

Also that same year I researched and did presentations on Chinese history (was a prehistorical to maybe a couple hundred years ago timeline) and at least in my research I covered things like the foot tying thing (to make feet smaller) and that didn't prepare me for the scene in Marco Polo (I think on Netflix) where that happened (and I didn't finish the episode or continue the series because it's just too fucked up).

Porn can be fucked up, some porn is definitely NSFL, but there are a lot of things that are so much worse than the average porn site.

I wish they actually tried to "protect the children" but the politicians are very clearly not.

You can see other people in a reflection without them being able to see you.

It is not possible to see someone else's eyes (except from the side, so it's only seeing their eyes in profile) in a reflection without them being able to see you too.

It's literally not possible via reflection, as everything is equal and opposite. If light can go from their eyes to yours, it's also possible to go the opposite direction.

This is what everyone has been saying but instead of thinking through everything clearly, you resorted to bullying.

The only way to accomplish this one-way vision is by adding something that is not reflection to the system (like a one-way window), but that's breaking the premise under which everyone else has been commenting in good faith.

The reflection is only bidirectional if you can see the other person's eyes.

It's like if someone is in a bathroom stall. You could see the stall is occupied by seeing their feet stick below the wall of the stall, but they cannot necessarily see any part of you since their eyes are not where their feet are.

Same principle applies to reflections, where maybe the body part that you can see is just the top of the head, and since the person isn't tall enough they can't see that you can see them.

It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.

Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.

No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it's tiny as hell

This looks like a prison, get me out
