I honestly wish there was a moderation system like Slashdot. You got a limited number of points each week, and you could vote comments "Insightful, Informative, Funny, Overrated, Spam" etc. Comments, etc could go up to +5 or down to -1; and you get a slider to determine at what point value comments are hidden at (+4, +2, etc)

It makes it so people can't be buried into the ether by brigading (they'd have to keep up a sustained downvote campaign to continually knock it down to -1), and can 'come back from the dead' so-to-speak, and also allows categorization of comments and may even allow the filtering of joke-comments so that conversations stay on topic or just so that you engage with the serious content instead of low-quality stuff. This encourages people to comment more genuinely and productively.

How in fuck is this a criminal offense?

Dec 6th? Can't. Gonna be playing PoE2.

I'm on the page of discrediting soft-sciences. Because they are not rigid and testable, they are filled to the brim with what are essentially witch-doctors who read the tea leaves so-to-speak. Social sciences especially. They are a pseudo-science that has infected the minds of many.

The difference is that science is observable and testable, god is not. This key difference, changes it from being a fallacy.

So, in the god of the gaps fallacy it goes like this:

• GotG: Something unknown = GOD!
• Science: Something unknown = "We don't know!"
• GotG: Ghosts = GOD!!
• Science: Ghosts = "We need a way to reliably test and confirm!"

Science isn't anti-god either. It's just pro-knowledge. Observable, testable, verifiable knowledge.

There are however videos featuring things that cannot be explained rationally

You can -- quite literally -- create any effect on video. You should go watch that guy that debunks YouTube videos for a living. He shows you exactly how the effects were created, etc.

Who's idea was it to put medium blue on a dark blue background for this shit?

I'd go to college. I'd learn all the things I had to teach myself, but properly. I'd spend as many of the remaining minutes of my life with my family, giving them the things I always couldn't. As a father, you're expected to work your ass off to provide for your family, and doing so trades away all the precious moments you could have had. My kids are almost adults now, and I regret every day not being born rich.

WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK

I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime--so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.

The Montech cases are really good, come with 6 RGB fans preinstalled, and a glass side (not plexi)

What's a jeeves?

I can't tell if I'm supposed to name my organization like the top one or the bottom one.

There are people who use Hotmail still alive?

I pronounce it Forgejo.

Guarantee Microsoft is funding this from a shadow shell corporation like all the other times.

The silly thing is, I wasn't talking about fusion at all. I don't even use Fusion, but here I can add it to the list of all the other CAD software that understands workflow.

I was talking about OnShape, Solidworks, Seimens Solid Edge, Inventor, Alibre, Plasticity, SketchUp, you name it. ALL other CAD software works this way. Because that's the logical workflow... I've used them all, and the first time using them is a pain - for sure. FreeCAD is the only one that I KEEP coming back to, because I WANT them to get it right and they never do. I can use all of the other ones I just mentioned, with nary a hiccup in speed.

FreeCAD has been in development for 22 years. Over 2 decades to get this shit right...

If you are actively hampering your users ability to get work done, then your software is shit. If you refuse to acknowledge that everyone is telling you that you need to hammer out these "Death by 1000 papercuts" instances, then your passion will never gain understanding and a following.

Go look at the commit history for the Realthunder branch: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/commits/master/

Then go look at the commits for FreeCAD: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commits

Notice anything? Realthunder is working on problems. FreeCAD is working on, moving functions around...it literally looks like someone shuffling papers in and out of the same 2 piles to make it look like they're working. And people should call them out on it.

So if FreeCAD was already usable, why’d it take 2 decades to get to a 1.0 release?

LOL...FreeCAD, usable... it was about as usable as sticks for starting a fire, when everyone else was carrying around lighters.

I haven't tried the new 1.0 release, but I've seen random nobodies make solid modeling software in a year that worked better than FreeCAD did just 6 months ago.

Edit: I'm in the process of trying it again and it's still fucking stupid. They call the "ISO Standard" just "Standard" when booting up, when they're listing 8 different "Standards". The standards are ISO and ANSI -- but fuck me, just name it however you like.

Want to see the XY, XZ, ZY planes? -- Nope fuck you, because they're attached to origin for some reason, and hiding and unhiding origin shows and unshows all planes.

Want to right click on the XY plane and start a sketch? No fuck you, because that's not even in the list of options! You've gotta...every time...click the stupid icon in the title bar. Want to pad the sketch you just created? Gotta make you go through an extra step to click that button too - exit the sketch or we're not gonna show you the button to pad/extrude.

God what are these dipshits even doing...even dumb shit like OK/Cancel buttons being on the TOP of dialogs? Why in the earthly fuck?

Ding ding ding folks. Wilhoit's law: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Oh you sweet summer child.
