But what people mean when they say "my kids won't understand" or they'll "be confused" is actually "seeing gay people could make my kid realize they're gay" or "they won't understand why being gay is wrong"
That's actually a major reason I switched to linux. Windows security update kept failing with no solution for like 6mos. Afaik there is still no solution.
For sure. I totally agree!
Well of course Lindsey Graham, anti-gay activist and well-known gay prostitute hirer, doesn't want ethics reports coming out. He hates coming out.
You mean it doesn't make them look badass to be carrying intentionally edgelord versions of a swastika flag while wearing matching skull balaclavas in front of the shake shack?
Nope. I don't think you understand my argument insofar as it was implied by those 2 questions.
Sure, okay, look at the source with skepticism - I certainly do. It just doesn't make sense to not engage critically with the source. And, in this case, this story seems to be completely factual. Trump does intend to expand arms supply to Israel and ease restrictions. So, disbelieving the story in this case would not have brought you to the correct conclusion.
So, do you think that, in this case, the reporting is inaccurate? Or do you just wish they linked a non-Fox version of the same story?
In the veiled depths of cosmic night, beyond the grasp of mortal understanding, there lurks an abomination known as D'ohl-Nald'trump, Evader of Consequence, Weaver of Lies. Ancient as the first whispers of deceit, this blasphemous entity shambles through the mortal realm in garish splendor, clad in illusions spun of its own warped grandeur. Its voice, a booming incantation laced with half-truths and hollow promises, spills forth with the power to sway the minds of even the stout-hearted, plunging them into delirium where reason itself dissolves. Those who fall under its thrall are left in a fog of bewildered amnesia, helpless to recall its transgressions, let alone question its motives.
For D'ohl-Nald'trump wields a dreadful gift—an eldritch glamour that cloaks it in perpetual exoneration, a power so unnatural that no mortal cage may hold it, no law may bind it. Even those who glimpse its deceit find themselves ensnared in its web of forgetfulness, powerless to hold its ever-shifting form to account. And so, the Weaver of Lies drifts through aeons untouched, a nightmare that evades justice itself, as if consequence were but a faint myth of a distant, naïve cosmos.
Hmmmm what do you call it when you STAGnate the economy (like by shrinking it $5.1T) and cause inFLATION (by returning to fucking mercantilist economic policy)? Sounds so familiar....
None of the answers you've received are really correct.
Liberalism has a specific meaning in political science. Modern Liberals support market economies, strong individual rights, and the right to own private property (not personal property like your house, car, or toothbrush - private property means capital).
I'm going to use socialism as a proxy for Leftism broadly because Socialism + Anarchism is too broad. Socialism is a political philosophy characterized by public ownership of capital (aka the means of production). That is the primary thing that binds leftists together.
Leftists view Liberalism as an improvement over feudalism, the system that it replaced, but criticize Liberals for protecting the status quo of neoliberal capitalism and the injustices, inequities, and evils it has perpetuated (slavery, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, labor exploitation, etc.). They also assert that any Social Democratic reforms Liberals champion are ineffectual at addressing the core problems of capitalism.
The reason that the leftists in the meme have guns is because Leftists have historically been violently opposed to fascism and have engaged in revolutions to overthrow feudal, liberal, and fascist regimes.
When you smurf long into an abyss, the abyss smurfs back into you.
The difference is that people who joke about bombs in airports typically don't actually think bombs in airports are a good idea.
I think the dems have been losing for decades in essentially every political arena because the repubs have cartoon villain mastermind Mitch McConnell pulling the strings and the dems have fucking Nancy Pelosi behind the curtain fixing races against Bernie, etc.
NAS Server OS/Software Suggestions
I want a NAS solution to back up my PC and host media files, but prebuilt NAS solutions are incredibly expensive and underwhelming and so I'm planning to build one. Does anyone have recommendations for a NAS interface?
I'm brand new to server management and would prefer something user friendly. I have used linux mint, but currently use windows as my daily driver (planning to switch to mint soon). I'd be fine with a dedicated NAS OS or with something I could run on mint since I'm already familiar with that distro.
Throwing up almost every class. Is there anything I can do about it?
Pretty much the title. I've been training for 5 months, injured for 4 weeks in there - just came off of a 2wk recovery from a knee injury. I'm relatively young, 6ft 175lbs, in pretty decent shape.
But I overexert myself to the point of vomiting nearly every class. It's frustrating and embarassing.
I've started doing more cardio and have improved a lot in that regard, but it doesn't seem to help at all on the mats. Do I just need to do more cardio? Is there something nutrition-wise that could help? Open to any and all suggestions.
Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice. I will try 1) not try so hard and ask partners to help me with that, 2) advice to talk to my doctor - I have in the past and he wasn't much help - but it got me to do some research... some medication I'm on can cause hyponatremia, which can cause nausea and vomiting especially after exercise... so I'm going to try a saline solution before/during class and may report back if it works.
Edit 2: took a 3% hypertonic salt solution to class today and it seems to have worked. I asked a higher belt to really push me in a difficult roll after class to test it. Not certain yet, but seems to have fixed the vomiting
Opinions on 9x9 for beginners
I have been playing Go with my friend (who has a Chess background) for a while now. We started on 19x19 boards but he found it really overwhelming and struggled. He wanted to switch to 9x9 and we have now played several 9x9 games.
These games are just for fun and I don't think he has much intention of ever playing seriously, so it doesn't really matter, but I feel like the skils developed playing 9x9 are really not all that applicable to a real game other than just basic life/death, some endgame stuff, etc.
I started on a full sized board, and I ran a successful club where we started beginners off on full sized boards, so I don't really know how others do it. What do you think about starting beginners off on 9x9? When do you think they should transition to larger boards?
How do you use AI to train?
I've been using AI to review my games for a while, but how do you personally use AI to learn?
I've found it really helpful in strengthening my joseki as well as general game-sense/intuition. Re-training myself on which moves feel correct.
One weird result has been that a lot of my intuitions that I used to brush away in favor of moves that I felt were more big-brained, turned out to be the moves that the AI prefers. So I'm having to work through when I'm overthinking moves.
The main problem I find is that it is so much better than I am that I can't understand the logic sometimes - so I walk away with "Well, that move was just better, I guess" and fail to get a good understanding.
Go in Art: Guan Yu plays Go during bone surgery
Portrayal of the Physician Hua Da Scraping the Bone of Guan Yu to Treat an Arrow Wound (Hua Da hone o kezurite Guan Yu ya-kizu o ryoji suru zu), Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1853
"Guan Yu was once injured in the left arm by a stray arrow which pierced through his arm. Although the wound healed, he still experienced pain in the bone whenever there was a heavy downpour. A physician told him, "The arrowhead had poison on it and the poison had seeped into the bone. The way to get rid of this problem is to cut open your arm and scrape away the poison in your bone." Guan Yu then stretched out his arm and asked the physician to heal him. He then invited his subordinates to dine with him while the surgery was being performed. Blood flowed from his arm into a container below. Throughout the operation, Guan Yu feasted, consumed alcohol and chatted with his men as though nothing had happened." (Wikipedia)
Go in Art: Minamoto no Yorimitsu and His Retainers Defeat the Earth Spider
I'm not entirely sure how Go plays into this story, but it's a wild print that shows Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who had apparently been in the middle of a game of Go, fighting the legendary Yōkai Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛, i.e. Earth/Dirt Spider), a giant spider demon that lives in the earth.
I'm not sure why so many fights broke out while samurai were playing Go in feudal Japan. But, Minamoto no Yorimitsu is Minamoto no Yoshitsune's (whose retainer, Sato Tadanobu, beat a bunch of samurai to death with a floor goban) great, great, great, great, great uncle (5th great uncle), so it must run in the family.
The history behind the community banner and a little piece of Go lore: Sato Tadanobu Bravely Resisting Arrest
First published in 1855, Sato Tadanobu Bravely Resisting Arrest (左藤忠信勇戦芳時が勢を移る圖) depicts a man fighting off a number of attackers with a Goban. But who was he and what is his story?
Satō Tadanobu (佐藤 忠信) was a samurai in service of Minamoto no Yoshitsune who lived between 1161AD and 1186AD. There are two accounts of his death, but which one is real may not be as important to us as which makes for the better story.
The first part of the story is the same in both accounts and is recorded in the Gikeiki (義経記, or Chronicle of Yoshitsune) and involves Tadanobu retreating with his master Minamoto no Yoshitsune's forces to Kyushu, fleeing the advance of his half-brother Minamoto no Yoritomo's army. Sato, serving as rearguard with a few of his men, aided the retreat by donning Yoshitsune's armor and, acting in disguise as Yoshitsune, killing twenty of his pursuers. Though his companions died in the fight, Tadanobu escaped and continued on to Kyoto to take refuge in the house of a woman he knew there.
This is where the stories diverge, and where the subject of this painting comes from:
Telling #1: While staying at his acquaintance's house, he was discovered and attacked. He committed seppuku before he could be captured alive.
Telling #2: Sato Tadanobu was enjoying a game of Go at his acquaintance's house, when he was suddenly attacked by Yoritomo's men. Unable to reach his weapons, he grabbed the Goban he was playing on and proceeded to single-handedly beat a number of armed and armored samurai to death with it before he was able to reach his weapons and commit seppuku, thus evading capture by the overwhelming force.
In the Kabuki plays (such as Yoshino Shizuka Goban Tadanobu and Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura) and Ukiyo prints inspired by this event, Tadanobu is implied to be a Genkurō (fox spirit) due to his cunning impersonation of Yoshitsune.
Go Problem Tree for Absolute Beginner to Double Digit Kyu (30k - 10k) - Like Duolingo for Go
I found Gomagic from the YouTube channel of the same name. It's a really nice way to do high to mid-kyu Go problems (there's a 9k - 1k section under development too). They have a wide variety of types and it walks you through a bunch of different skills.
The downside is you only get a limited number of free problem sets each day if you don't pay for a subscription, but it's like 15 free sets of 5-6 problems per day or something pretty generous.

Great tutorial for anyone who wants to learn how to play. Gomagic does a great job with all their videos.
