  • Anarchy in the context of anarchism doesn't refer to a complete absence of rules or their enforcement. On the contrary, anarchism rejects any form of higher power (aka might), and focuses on building communities in a way that makes them resilient to it.

    I'm not sure I really understand your argument though. Societies and communities were able to have rules preventing violence long before the existence of nation states. Not to mention that your definition of the state is ironic in and of itself: We need violence (the state) to prevent violence (by non-state actors). The state itself in this definition (which I agree with) is itself following the method might makes right.

  • This is a great reply to my comment you really did a good job addressing any of the points and not making things up. Also nice job getting your buddy involved now they can start 10 different threads with essay-length comments again and then complain that I didn't answer each of the 10 paragraphs in each of the 100 comments.

    I already regret honoring any of your nonstop abuse as conversation. I'm blocking you.

  • Why are you so hung up on this? I didn't come here to debate you. But fine I'll take you seriously one more time. But I'm pretty sure all you're gonna do is dismiss everything I say as myths (or just ignore it alltogether), and then pretend you gave convincing arguments because you mentioned whole process democracy, and call me a liberal. Feel free to prove me wrong. Here we go:

    There is ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang in which China has piggy-backed on the US "war on terror" as an excuse to repress muslim populations. This is officially called "Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism". Do I really need to say more?

    Taiwan has its own democracy and wants to be independent, yet China claims it as its own.

    Yes there's asterisks and details and questionable involvement from the West in all of this, but these aren't "myths".

    Sinologists from various countries have stated that they or their colleagues have been barred from entry or held by authorities for weeks because of what they've said about China. For example I just heard Weigelin-Schwiedrzik say this on a marxist podcast.

  • Stop arguing with these shit bags buddy. It is 100% not worth your time, and 200% not worth your mental health. They made it very clear that they are here to be an asshole and call you names, and nothing else.

    There are a select few tankies over on .ml worth arguing with, but not this fucker.

    Is it possible to speed up the launcher?

    Hey friends!

    Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let's say I type "firefox", and hit Enter.

    The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens "Files" instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.

    Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.

    This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.

    I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.

    I'm sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?

    Opinion - Human Fighter is the most creative character option

    This isn't strictly a Pathfinder thing but I like this community.

    Basically, there is this meme that Human Figher is a "boring" default choice or sign of an uncreative character. I disagree. Picking out a weird ancestry is not creative. Choosing a human fighter basically means that you get zero flavor from your ancestry and class - so you are forced to get creative yourself. You are forced to give your character a personality, and you are forced to solve problems creatively.

    For me, the stereotype is the opposite - if a player chooses an esoteric ancestry and class combo, I worry that their characters whole personality is just their ancestry.

    Of course both humans and other ancestries make for great characters if done right.

    Escape - is the unarmed attack modifier Finesse?

    I stumbled upon this and couldn't find any definite answers.

    The Escape action states that you can use Athletics, Acrobatics, or your unarmed attack modifier. However, it specifically says that you use your modifier and not an actual attack. While fists have the Finesse trait, the regular attack does not - so am I correct in assuming that if you have a higher Dex than Str, that you can only use Dex with acrobatics, not with the unarmed attack modifier?

    How my group made a tough encounter trivial (minor AV spoilers)

    My group is playing Abomination Vaults, and on the second level there is a room with an undead Minotaur Skeleton Warrior. The book specifically states that it never leaves the room it's in.

    My group quickly figures this out and would simply have everybody ready an attack, one PC would open the door, triggering everybody else's reaction, and would then close it again.

    After doing this about 10 times they finally took down the skeleton despite it having resistance to most of their attacks, with none of them taking any damage.

    This is a somewhat inexperienced group that doesn't usually do strategy things, so I was happy to see them plan and execute.

    Anyway what's the weirdest way your group beat a supposedly challenging enemy?

    Best article about XZ backdoor?

    Hey, I've been hearing a LOT about the xz backdoor. Crazy story, but rather than reading 10 different articles about it from 3 days ago when the story was quite new, does anybody know a high quality write-up that has all the juicy details and facts? I really like in-depth guides that cover every aspect of the story.

    Thanks in advance guys!
