Yes sorry, I did assume a western context, that’s my bad. I’ve only ever lived in Canada so I’m not too knowledgeable on progressive movements outside of the west. I would imagine though that the best course of action would be to state your alliance with those marginalized ethnicities in those cultures. For example, if you live in Kenya and want to see Somalians treated equally there then you should express your support for the Somalians, because not expressing that support will cause others to assume you hold the culturally “default” position, which in the case of widespread discrimination would likely mean they would assume you are anti-Somalian.

Basically all I mean is that if you want to show that you don’t care about race or ethnicity then show support for whatever group needs it the most in your community. By doing so you’re showing that you’re willing to accept those groups even though they aren’t identical to you. Sure that might seem like you absolutely do care about race, since you’re supporting those groups on basis of who they are, but a truly “neutral” position doesn’t exist in situations like this, as choosing not to say anything at all is showing that you’re okay with whatever the current dominant ideology is.

it’s the same issue as the “black lives matter” / “all lives matter” distinction. On the surface, sure, “all lives matter” sounds more appealing because all lives do matter. But the point is that most people support white people, it’s the people of colour that you need to voice your support for, because they’re the ones being targeted with constant discrimination and racism.

I think back to the post about liking pancakes not meaning hating waffles. It sounds ridiculous but it’s very easy to fall into that mindset, especially in scenarios like this. “I stand with people of colour” doesn’t mean “I don’t stand with white people”, it just means “people of colour need my support more than white people do right now”.

If that sounds weird to you still, and you’d still rather say “I support everyone” that’s totally fair, but if you’re going to do that you need to be aware of the cultural meaning given to those kinds of phrases beyond what the literal words mean, as the type of people who say that sort of thing are usually saying it to delegitimize messages of support for marginalized groups, and so by saying it yourself you may end up being associated with those people as well.

I think it’s more making fun of the fact that they have to keep using it. I do agree it’s great that they actually do have that power though.

I just found out literally with this post lmao

As someone with ADHD, the whole comic is me exactly. I’m never late to anything ever because I literally can’t think of anything except the event until it happens, and I’m also super stressed about missing things so I always leave early.

Absolutely! And did you notice the canynes actually have different features based on which element they are! I love seeing little details like that.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 just released and it’s insanely good. As usual it’s way too expensive as all AAA games are now, but I’m a sucker for Monster Hunter so I was going to pay no matter what. It’s a lot more open than the previous games, which makes it feel a lot more interesting and the new gameplay sytems really play into that in a good way. It’s also a lot of fun as a Monster Hunter fan seeing all the monsters they chose for the game. Some of their picks are very surprising!

I also picked up Dragon Quest Builders as it was recently on sale and I need to satisfy my extremely intense desire for Pokopia while not supporting Nintendo. I played through the second game a long time ago but I never played the first one until now. It’s fun but you can definitely feel that this was their first attempt at this kind of thing. I’ll probably replay the second game when I’m done with this one.

When I had this problem in the past it was actually other addons causing the problem. Do you have any other addons? If so, try disabling all your addons (except ublock) and checking if the problem is gone. If so then you can re-enable them one by one until you find the offender. For me it was actually an addon which shouldn’t have affected YouTube or ads at all which was causing the problem.

If that doesn’t work or you don’t have any other addons, try going into the ublock settings (click the icon in your taskbar and then click the gears) and click restore to default settings at the bottom. If that still doesn’t work then you might have to seek help elsewhere (the official support page is r/ublockorigin if you’re okay with using reddit)

That’s certainly an interesting take. I loved the first game but DS2 blows it out of the water. It’s pretty much a direct improvement in almost every way in my opinion. The only downgrade I think is the difficulty, but death stranding 1 had abysmal combat so I can easily forgive the game becoming easier while also becoming more fun.

Animals are one group or “kingdom” of life. Plants (such as trees) and fungi (such as mushrooms) each have their own kingdoms, and so do bacteria and a few other forms of life. They’re organized this way to represent how closely related they are. Every single living thing in the animal kingdom is more closely related to every single other thing in the animal kingdom than to anything in any other kingdom.

As an example, chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms are more closely related to each other than to a sunflower, so we call chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms animals but not sunflowers. This is called “taxonomy” and there’s a ton of different levels of how related things are, ranging from very distantly related to so closely related you can barely tell them apart. Kingdom isn’t even the most broad!

You might have also heard that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants, but that doesn’t mean that fungi are animals, just that the lifeform that branched into fungi and animals did so a lot later than the one that branched into plants. In the end they’re still distinct enough that we call them different kingdoms!

Oh dang, the tested video made it sound like they were making it. Good to know, and honestly even better that they’re supporting a preexisting project!

Even better: they’re developing a new translation layer in the style of proton for x86 to ARM called FEX, so theoretically most x86 games will run on the frame. Naturally it’s also compatible with proton so you can go windows game -> x86 linux -> ARM Linux. We’ll have to see how that runs but it’s certainly exciting to think about.

crosscode mentioned, hell yeah!

2TB NVME dedicated entirely to virtual memory

You’re right, there are, but my point was that private MMO servers are significantly harder to host and moderate than a private server in a match-based multiplayer game like say Team Fortress 2. An MMO that relies on private servers is almost certainly doomed to fail, so it must have some form of official server, which then will need some form of cheating prevention.

The issue is that that’s only a solution for a certain type of multiplayer game. MMOs and battle royales for example cannot feasibly implement community servers as their main form of multiplayer connection, because very few people have the capabilities to host such servers, much less moderate them at such high player counts. Heck, there’s even arguments to be made for the value of public matchmaking, despite how often it gets blasted in spaces such as this. Private servers are unfortunately not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Fuck did we all go down the exact same pipeline? I just installed Linux last week and I haven’t booted up windows since.
