Leave them be, everyone goes through an experimental phase. They're just working themselves out. Give them time.
Because Russia has been so good at only hitting military facilities in Ukraine so far.
You seem to be under the impression that there's only 2 agruments here when in reality there is at least 3.
Your interpretation seems to be that Either Vigilante justice is never OK, or vigilante justice is always OK.
No one here is arguing that vigilante justice is always OK.
The argument here is between vigilante justice is always OK, and vigilante justice is sometimes OK.
The examples of slave revolts and lynchings of black people both fall into the camp of sometimes. Slave revolts are always morally good, while racist lynchings of black people are always not morally good. Both were illegal at the same time, but at no point is it argued that both are always morally good.
Because they've successfully been conned into thinking that what's in the best interests of the rich is in their own best interests too.
I don't know why I clicked that to find out what happens. I have an ad blocker lol.
That sounds like a warning to others lol. Don't inbreed or we'll feed you to the lions
People born before 2000 think older technology just evaporated the minute the millenium ticked over.
Of course it's all in my head. Its not like all my depression is stored in my right foot.
Tie them to the communications mast and give them thirty lashes with orions belt!
Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You'd might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.
Good work ethic is when you spend every waking moment working instead of spending time with your family, yourself, your pets, your friends, doing self care, cooking for yourself and/or family.
Sounds like a jolly old life that doesn't it? Sure would love to do that every day until I die.
This guy is a certified nutjob.

Less is sometimes more honestly. Its likely you've got so much running that they're fighting each other. See if you've got overlapping features and remove as many as possible while still keeping the same functionality.
Most cafes aren't open at 3am when I get off a dreadful shift and just want to wolf something down before collapsing into bed for 10 hours.
Knowing humans, yes! I think they will. Probably not the bits that fall off, they'll most likely be placed in the visitors centre but given how sentimental we are as a species I can absolutely see us one day touring the sea of tranquility space reservation.
It only took a couple billion monkeys a few million years but one did eventually write out the full works of Shakespeare
Leave a bowl out with a sign that says "if the bowl is empty, please knock." You don't even have to fill the bowl with anything.
What metrics are deoderant companies using to calculate their "72hr protection" numbers?
How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?
Im assuming they're fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?
How do I tell if my cat is chill with stranger cat?
My cats a senior cat who's always seemed to take issue with other cats, particularly in his house.
However, I've found out recently that there's another neighbourhood cat that's been snooping around and stealing his leftover food that he hasn't finished.
I was sitting around on my off day with my cat on the other side of the room when this Siamese cat saunters and makes eye contact with him. I get up assuming this cat is about to antagonise my cat and the Siamese just bolts. I go after it to see that it leaves and once it scarpers out the window I go back downstairs to my cat who hasn't even moved lol.
All of a sudden I feel like maybe ive just chased off one of his mates and feel just a little bad over it lol but I'm really not sure what to think now.
My cat is quite elderly so some part of me thinks he's just intimidated and no longer bothered with defending his territory but then neither of then seemed that bothered by the interaction at the time.
My cat hasn't had any injuries from this cat but I still can't be sure they're not fighting.
Just kind of at a loss at this point lol. Any advice?
Cheers!
My cat BTW! Haven't got a PIC of the Siamese yet. First time I saw him today!
Where can I buy ebooks that will actually be mine for life?
I'm looking to change my reading and buying habits away from Amazon and need an alternate source for my ebooks. Where can I buy ebooks that won't expire or have their licence revoked and will allow me to download a copy of that ebook I can store on my own system regardless of the websites status?
What's the best graphics card thats worth getting to upgrade an older PC?
My PC is getting on a little, it's running on an i7-4790k, 16gb ddr4, and a GTX 970. right now, it's struggling some in most games even though I don't play any triple A titles. What would be a sensible upgrade that wouldn't get totally bottlenecked by the CPU?
In most games I'm playing the CPU is pinned at around 25% while my card is maxed at 100% 3d and vmem usage so I'm fairly sure it's just my card that's the main limiting factor.
Would you be in favour of assisted dying being introduced for terminally ill patients in your country?
With the discussion of whether assisted dying should be allowed in Scotland befing brought up again, I was wondering what other people thought of the topic.
Do you think people should be allowed to choose when to end their own life?
What laws need to be put into place to prevent abuses in the system?
How do we account for people changing their mind or mental decline causing people to no longer be able to consent to a procedure they previously requested?
How do I pick quality gym/sports wear?
I know absolutely nothing about going to the gym or working out and I need some help choosing some actual good quality sports wear.
The clothes I currently have don't seem suitable at all for exercise in that theyre not particularly flexible, breathable or lightweight.
I'm mainly looking to lose weight and improve cardio fitness as I haven't done proper exercise in a very long time.
My priorities are durability, longevity and breathability. I'm not bothered about fashion brands unless they can do all three of the above and I don't mind spending a little more money to get something thats good quality.
I'm in the UK but if you can point me towards the good stuff, even if it's not available in the UK, it'll help me pick similar stuff!
Thanks very much for any help in advance!
Cheers!
How do I find organisations that support causes I want to fight for?
I want to be able to support the causes I believe in and actually be a part of the change I want to see but I was never taught how to find, join and work with these groups.
I see all the time about protests and community action and people actually going out and helping people who need help and support and I always hated the fact that I only know about it happening after the fact and I want to get involved!
Any help would be much appreciated!
How do I select BIFL walking boots?
Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I'm sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?
Cheers!
Install Linux mint on formerly RST raid 0 drive
Hi! I previously had windows installed on an intel RST raid 0 disk and I'd like to switch it to Linux mint instead. However, from what I've found, rst isnt compatible with Linux mint as it's specifically a windows thing.
I'd like to install Linux mint directly onto the raid array and I don't mind erasing windows and starting from scratch, but I can't seem to find a comprehensive or comprehensible guide on how to do that.
Any help on where to start would be very much appreciated!
Cheers!
Organisation, tidying, and clearing techniques?
I need some help when it comes to clearing out, organising and sorting my stuff.
My house is basically full of stuff and things right now and I really don't think it's helping me out with my health (mental or physical)
I mostly suffer with getting hopelessly distracted, mess blindness, never wanting to get started, and getting overwhelmed with the scope of the task.
One of the reasons I want to get tidied up is because my main hobbies (electronics, drones, and DIY) mean that I've got tons of stuff I need to keep around, but it's also lots of small stuff with lots of different categories and storage requirements so it's really not easy to sort without needing tons of boxes or bins so I still haven't been able to find a good way to store it.
I also don't have much out-of-sight storage in my flat so it's kind of everywhere.
Any tips on storing and sorting would be massively appreciated especially from people who have been through this already and have/are working towards getting clean!
Thanks!
Warlock that casts spells using hitpoints instead of spell slots
Thoughts on creating a Spellcaster that uses hit points for spell casting instead of spell slots.
I was just wondering about home-brewing a walock NPC who's patron saps hitpoints in exchange for spell casting. Essentially, as long as the character has hitpoints they can cast as many spells as they like but with each one it takes a toll.
Balance is obviously an issue here in preventing them from just being healed by the party and used as a spell battery in exchange for healing but Im thinking perhaps balancing that out by making con saves to prevent them from passing out from blood loss or something from wounds appearing on their body as till for the spells. Aswell as that, spells would have different hit point costs that scale with levels like a first level costing 5, 2nd 10 and so on.
Backstory and lore could be pretty interesting as to how they received their patronage, why they took such a harmful deal, they could be good or evil depending on their motives for doing so and other fun stuff!
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas!
Advice on casual clothes to wear with a cloak?
Since discovering the joys of cloaks, I've wanted to wear one all the time now but struggling for clothes that don't look jarring with a cloak.
To be clear, I'm aiming for a "larp/fantasy" look, just some somewhat modern and comfortable clothes that would look good with a cloak.
Thanks in advance!
What's a lesson you've learned first hand on the trail?
For me, it was to always bring a big water bottle (or two smaller ones).
I just got back from a hike on one of the hottest days of the year where I ended up walking around 3 hours and several kilometers after running out of water during the hottest part of the day before I could get to a churchyard with an outdoor tap to fill up on. Not fun!
How do I go about getting diagnosed in the UK?
I'm fairly suspect that I've likely got ADHD and/or mild depression and I don't know if ones causing symptoms of the other or if im personally misatributing symptoms here and I want to know how to go about changing this in the best way possible.
The NHS is a wonderful service but unfortunately it's run by the British so it's horrifically overworked and often mismanaged and my area is no exception to the rule.
Mental and physical health services in my area are under funded, under staffed and overworked which means I can't even speak to a GP about my concerns and I worry I won't be taken seriously or brushed aside as a low criticality case. Not to mention all the testimonys from people about GPs not taking adult ADHD seriously assuming they even believe ADHD exists. (See the state of gender health and trans healthcare for an excellent example of a a broken system).
However something (whatever it is) is affecting my life and although I absolutely don't feel like self harm or suicide, etc, I'd very much like something to change.
What are my options here? I've heard people talk about private healthcare but I'm in no position to afford this.
I'd very much appreciate the help from anyone whose been in my position and would desperately want to listen to your stories too.
Thank you!
Nimona (2023) is probably the second best movie I've seen this year! Have you/will you see it?
I watched Nimona on the weekend, it kind of took over my life briefly. It was a blue sky project that spent several years in development before being sold on when the studio closed, bought up by netflix, set to release during the pandemic, then delayed. Let's say my expectations were low but a depth chage came along and blew them sky high.
I don't think I've laughed as much in just under 2 hours in a very long time. Nimona herself was an absolute cherry bomb and I liked her character from minute zero. This only improved as the movie went on.
Ballister was voiced Riz Ahmed and let me say he killed it! He nailed every emotional bit, he was sincere and funny and sometimes sarcastic. Lots of spice in his character!
Ambrosious was well developed and very well voice acted. I liked his character more than I expected to honestly and although we don't get a huge amount of him on screen, his presence made up for that.
As for supporting cast, Todd was fine. Maybe a little overstated but I never hated him more than a hateable character should be! The director was very imposing and stole every scene she was in.
Over all, I really enjoyed it. It was a super fun romp and there's a little bit of something for almost anyone!
