So sad because as a kid I said to someone I might want to be a cop to try and help people and they were like uhhh that's basically what people who didn't finish high-school do. Little did I know that would be better than what we have now...

It sucks being chronically ill, but having someone there for the times you feel okay helps with the bad times. Your "hey I'm here, no pressure" is basically perfect, I'm sure they feel bad that they can't be a "good" friend in that moment but it helps knowing people will be there when they feel better.

I am not using him as a moral compass, he made an argument that something is antisemitic. If I don't care who made the argument because it's immaterial to the point of "why are the only 2 Jewish people in F tier in a video about a Jewish hummus?" Ethan is a react farmer and always has terrible arguments and was part of the gamer gate movement of just making fun of women and saying "politics(that disagree with me) bad", but that doesn't mean what he said here was wrong.

Sadly I care about the substance of someone's argument not who they are. I also do not care about either of these people. If trump made a good argument against Hasan I would post that too.

As good faith as Hasan. https://youtu.be/knMyMxXeoDY?t=36m50s this is the first mention of the tier list, Ethan says "yes, with pleasure", then says "did you see the thumbnail." What a pivot to mention it within 5 seconds of bringing it up. I do enjoy wasting everyone's time by lying when you can just look at the video. I can give you the closed captions if you missed him mentioning it within 5 seconds.

There is no Iranian woman in F tier, it is Ethan and Ben Shapiro. He also did not say that means they hate jews, he said it was antisemitic. I can be sexist without hating women, I can be racist without hating other races.

Here are some other non-jewish people that were genocide deniers: Trump (far more popular and recognizable), the change my mind guy, piers Morgan, just about every republican politician. Again, is it a coincidence they put 2 jews into F tier? Probably, but it's not insane to think that's a bit odd and question it. And again all Hasan had to do was say "I can see that but I think it's just they put him there because he's the first anti-hamas guy they thought of." But instead he says hey who knows I could never make any statement ever about it, it's insane to say it's because they're Jewish, and continues grandstanding rather than engaging with what Ethan said. You engage with it because its a conversation and to not massively waste the other persons time. You don't say uhhwhatt? Ethan are you ok? Are you hallucinating?

I don't care if they're Jewish or not, but I also don't think it's insane for someone to make that connection and say why are the 2 jews in F tier. If there were 10 worst fox news commentators ranked and the bottom 2 were the only women I would question it. Just say I'm not sure but I see where you're coming from, I think its just a coincidence. Don't tell them they're insane for thinking hmm this video about Jewish hummus put 2 jews in F tier, anyone that considers that weird is actually just insane and hallucinating, like wtf? Again I don't care if it's the editor, the president, or some random guy in a basement. They posted the video with that thumbnail, and Ethan is asking is "is this thumbnail antisemitic" and Hasan argues around it for 20 minutes rather than just saying yes I see how that could be bad. He literally says no I don't even think it was a bad coincidence, and then goes on to whataboutism.

I don't care the politics of either person, I literally do not care about either of these people. If Bernie sanders said to use coal and Trump says we need to use solar I will say Trump is correct and Bernie isn't using logic. Someone put 2 Jewish people in F tier on a hummus tier list and put the Jewish owned company's hummus in that tier. I can see that being antisemitic, I can see it just being a meme, but either way it's not an insane thing to question it, and Hasan dances around it for 10 minutes and says "well I'm not in their brain so I can't say what they meant by it." Here is the response from a normal person who is being honest: "Yes I could see how that could seem antisemitic to put 2 specifically Jewish people in F tier, but I think it was just a gaff or a joke and not meant to be antisemitic." The person making the argument is irrelevant here, if you want to say Ethan is horrible go ahead, that doesn't make Hasan correct here.

He literally said himself he doesn't care if what he says is true so long as it furthers the goals of the left, which fair enough but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Maybe there could be something like torrents but for streaming, where by watching you're forwarding that stream to others.

For more evidence against it only affecting old people, 2 million Americans now have long covid and are essentially completely disabled and out of work because of it. For most It's 12+ hours in bed a day and having no energy to even make food, for the unlucky ones it's constant shortness of breath and other not so nice symptoms. The vaccine has been shown to prevent long covid, so any person regardless of age is taking a huge risk by not getting the vaccine.

Even I'm not terminally online enough for this but from the few things I've seen it seems like he ends up being generally ish correct, but he didn't arrive there through actual logic. ex: https://youtu.be/knMyMxXeoDY?t=37m38s

Like come on dude just say "yes maybe it's because he's Jewish and it was about hummus." I've seen him talk to other people about political things and he essentially does this same bit where he makes weird sounds and then tries to grandstand something unrelated to what the person said.

I had a pretty funny discussion where someone was like "they're bussing them in so they vote democrat!" And I was like, but they're not registered to vote. "Well the democrats want to change that." But most immigrants lean heavily republican, and are anti immigration as well, sort of a pull up the ladder behind you thing. "Well because even they know what the democrats are doing is stupid!"

And then 5 minutes later they're saying the first line, when they just agreed the exact opposite is true... it's like the facts are only true if it supports the argument that they're making at that exact instant

 

I can't seem to get freestyle gunz to connect. To note, the launcher downloads everything fine, and the game launches fine (I have to launch using the launcher.exe rather than gunz.exe or the game won't start), but it just gets stuck on "Connecting" and then the game says there was an error connecting to the server. I have followed this tutorial: https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?126443-Tutorial-How-to-run-Freestyle-Gunz-on-Ubuntu-with-Lutris and setting lutrus to use any proton version or wine version besides 9.21 I had the same issue of getting to the login page, entering my information, and it says "connecting... 2nd attempt.... 3rd attempt..." and then says failed to connect to server.

Only very old proton versions (<5) fail to launch the game at all. If I run wine cmd then ping google.com I get a regular response. Stable, Staging, and development 9.21 versions of Wine would not launch the game after clicking start on the launcher, and with the lutris configuration running wine 9.21 gives this error: 02bc:err:seh:NtRaiseException Unhandled exception code c0000409 flags 1 addr 0x744b63, but running wine 9.21 with a new configuration and installing those libraries using winetricks hangs after these lines: 02c0:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_TABLE_INFORMATION action 0

I have tried running the game through steam's compatibility settings, going from top to bottom until the game no longer launched, and all had the same issue of not being able to connect, but everything else working fine. I also tried running the installer with proton, and had the same issue of not being able to connect. I tried using winetricks without lutris to install msxml3,4, 6, and xmlite, and had the same issue of the game not launching using 9.21 wine and the game launching but not connecting on earlier versions. I found another reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gunz/comments/1dwkgjq/how_to_run_gunz_the_duel_on_linux/ with someone who seems to have a similar issue of not being able to connect, but no solution.

Something maybe of note: winetricks complains I'm using a 64bit wine prefix and installing 32 bit libraries when I install msxml, but the launcher is 64 bit and the game itself is 32 bit and uses these 32 bit libraries.

I'm just running ethernet, only things that show up on ifconfig are enp5s0 (my ethernet) and lo

I recently watched a video about an unpolled change in old-school runescape that added the ability to change your character's pronouns, as well as have beards as female characters, and the community's reaction to it. Sadly, most of the runescape playerbase is pretty right leaning, with the expected reactions of "this is dumb why would they add this," "why add this unpolled," and "this is a medieval fantasy game not a dating simulator"

I wonder what people's thoughts on this are, as if you are a paying customer for a game, and the game has been promised to only add poll-approved changes, is this unreasonable and why? The game is "old-school runescape," the players are notoriously resistant to change, and are paying to keep the game as they like it. Can you pay to keep your uninclusive game uninclusive? I don't have a great argument against it past "this literally doesn't matter" which won't convince people who believe it does.

 

Hi all, I've been recently playing some somewhat old games and have had trouble with either crashing, or weird graphical glitches.

The list of games I've tried:

Warcraft III (a custom map, normal game seems to work fine) Quake 2 Spring engine 103 (rts engine)

Warcraft 3 has a glitched white bar following the cursor, and the map crashes with "access violation" as the only error, as did the rts engine. I managed to fix the crash by running a 64 bit version of spring engine, but it then had this weird graphical glitch: https://imgur.com/a/ij6FaWa I looked in the settings and kept changing anything I could think of, one was to set UseVBO=0 which fixed that graphical problem, but sometimes the game will still crash with "access violation" Quake 2 replaces all projectile sprites/trails with a circle: https://imgur.com/a/qtLR2To

I'm thinking this is a weird problem with my AMD card, because I have a computer with the same 64 bit OS and all of these games work fine on it, and I played quake 2 before on this computer with the only difference being I swapped the graphics card and motherboard (exact same model mobo) I've tried running warcraft 3 with djvoodoo and that didn't seem to help, I've read online amd cards can have issues with older games running openGL and directx. Those posts are pretty old, but they make me think I might be SOL with an amd card

specs: OS: windows 10 home 64 bit mobo: gigabyte z690 UD ddr4 processor: intel i7 12700kf gfx: amd radeon RX 6800 XT

Appreciate any ideas!

Edit: wc3 crash log: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xrfw98rs7yhy356gt725g/2023-07-30-12.35.02-Crash.txt?rlkey=dp9oiqcibo4kigeq8lpzk8s0o&dl=0 running spring with a 32-bit launcher gives me Error: Failed to allocate memory 100% of the time I run it with UseVBO=1, 64 bit launcher gives me the graphical problem with UseVBO=1, and both work fine with UseVBO=0 quake 2 issue seems resolved if I change the openGL version, though it did work fine with previous settings before changing the graphics card, apparently this is a known issue pending future release.
