Can a genocide like that be consider war? Not that the statement is wrong.

I think your example is pretty good. The important detail is that the timetable for Bulgaria, would be fairly similar to your own, except it has some kind of offset, which would be more or less exactly what the time zones express. So, instead of everyone that want to relate to some other places’ relative time schedule, having to do it themselves, we just use… Time zones. that’s what time zones are.
Without it, you’d have the same complexities inherent with time zones, but with none of the benefits.
A case of a problem being solved, and mistaking inherent challenges, i.e. the sun moving with a different offset around the world, as a fault of the existing approach. The suggested alternatives would improve nothing, and instead make the problem worse.
I’ve seen the sentiment expressed before. The logical conclusions of the former, seems, plainly put, terrible.
It would mean one global time, let’s say UTC. Everyone who travels anywhere need to adjust their entire relation to hours of the day.
We’ve very likely always had “time zones”, even before we had clocks and hours of the day. We said “at noon”, “at dawn”, etc.
Where we really fucked up was daylight savings time. But time zones? What’s the alternative?
Do you mean just the latter?
You’re kinda arguing my point tho, so maybe I didn’t communicate it very well.
If a character such as Trump gaining power can be considered a symptom, then the conditions that allow it is the disease. I.e. the points you make, with news networks not beholden to facts, lack of education and critical thought.
All of this is what I would argue is the underlying cause and conditions that are fertile grounds for populists. Also, just a little reminder that Hitler first succeeded on his second attempt at becoming a dictator. And unlike in the US, he was imprisoned for the first attempt.
Isn’t Trump just a symptom? What scares the shit out of me, isn’t Trump. It’s that Americans voted for him once, and a repeat of that shit show is somehow again a possibility. Even 5% thinking that could be a good idea, would be cause for concern. 10% is “what the actual fuck America…”.
Remove Trump from the picture, and the issue is still there. The people who would vote for him, and the machinery in place that can convince them of it.
Imagine someone as vile as Trump, but not dumb as a sponge…
You probably ended up in the wrong confirmation bias bubble in the world of black box “news” content filtering. It’s the most dangerous thing about Facebook/Tiktok.
That, and/or another round psyops funding from Israel et al.
I tried Heroic Launcher. It’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion
That whatever species ends up dominating the earth with tools and technology branches out from bonobos instead.
How many do you have now?
Thanks. I will try it out. I’m pretty sure it was Lutris I had tried previously, and it didn’t work very well. As for Epic, I’d rather not game, than have to run it, even through Wine.

Though consider other suggestions like Heroic Launcher and Lutris. I cannot vouch for them, but there is certainly a better way than how I do it.
Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.
Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It’s exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I’ve now placed in the spoiler.
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/
PS: Surround all paths with double quotes. Both the TARGET
and START IN
fields. The working directory is almost always the directory that the executable is in.
When updating a game, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Change the entry to run the update. Update. Change the entry back.
I’m sure there are better ways to do this. So I’ll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn’t all that happy with it.
If its available on both, GOG. Always. Even if the game was $15 om gog and $6 on steam.
I play them through steam with Proton. It’s tedious installing and adding the games, and updates are a similar manual process as installing them. But, I want to support DRM free software.
Edit: From the comments here… Hm, maybe it’s not a well known thing that you can run gog games on steam w/Proton?
I think it’s also perfectly reasonable to say the truth instead, and replace “professional ethics” with “personal”.
If they are appreciative of you, and don’t truly want to do whatever it is that makes you the most comfortable or happy, they should be exposed to a learning opportunity.
If they get offended. Maybe they eventually figure out that, just maybe, you shouldn’t express gratitude with selfishness.
Anyways. That’s ny two cents. Say it as it is.
Until proven otherwise, I assume either ignorance or malicious intentions by those who want to rename these “problematic” terms. It does nothing to improve the actual issues.
The false pretense of having done something, is worse than doing nothing. It’s just noise.
To be clear: I don’t mind the changing of terms. I’m too old to care about trivial stuff like main
vs master
. But if the reasoning for such a change is dumb and potentially harmful, you’ve lost my respect.
Is there kibble with low, almost no grain percentage? For dogs there are decent options.
What permissions does the extension need to work? Then, what is the maximum level of damage a malicious update to said extension can do with those permissions?
You are absolutely right (in how it should be in a functional democracy). I also think you might not be aware of how close to fascism the US is. It really is one political party very clearly saying this, and making public a plan for how to do so, which might very well work.
Communists just think you are a little bit thick and/or uneducated. Maybe a little bit cute. Like a child who doesn’t know what words mean.
