People suffering(?) from the triad just need love…oh come on. Try telling that to one of countless victims of people with the triad (or part thereof). They might have some meaningful insight.

You might be one the rare occasions that actually sees a problem there and may also be seeking help. Congrats and my heartfelt apologies if that’d be the case. Seriously.

But whatever, you’re surely entitled to your own opinion. The triad is just a theory anyway. Like evolution. It’s just circumstantial evidence. If you dismiss that and maybe even the whole DCM/ICD, okay. One could surely argue about the degree of perfection in those.

NPD should not be here. It is one of the dark triad of PDs that are the inevitable downfall of our species as they are highly rewarded in capitalism. There is no redeeming quality to it.

Not saying everyone suffering from it is a monster though. Talking about tendency not individuals.

Amen. I do love LEDs since their dawn and have a big-ass collection. But on every single stupid computer thing? I don’t wanna pay extra just because my mouse can have stupid rgb-lights. Or my damn RAM. It adds absolutely nothing, costs more and has another part that will go broke.

I hate the rgb-craze…

One my Xbox controller’s light is so bright it could power our solar-panels. I had to put multiple Band-Aids on it 🫤

OK you probably need it more often than I do. But so far, I always found anything I needed for C#. But I’m surely no measure of course, I’m a casual who only codes stuff i, myself, need. And just me/wifey.

Lol, yes. I can actually get things done in c#. Even fast and also complex.

In java (which I have to use for android) it’s really aweful. Sure I’m no pro, but it also sucks to have to be a pro (and dedicate most of your time to a single thing) to get shit done.

I’m not a big M$-fan but I actually like c# a lot. Java not so much.

I’m no pro though, I just guerilla-code in my spare time. But of all the languages it’s actually my most used. Besides PPL and ASM 😁

Guess I’m glad that I don’t use that crap either 😁

Guess I’m glad that I don’t use that crap either 😁

Ahhh a crapple-feature. That explains. Not used one of their devices to this day. No wonder that flew by my radar 😄 Thanks for explaining!

The what feature? She talks like everyone has this and I don’t even know what it’s about…

See my other comment, this “drawback” is just based on missing knowledge. It’s absolutely the same as with torrents. If you are on public trackers/search-engines you’re fucked with the absolute mainstream-stuff. On private trackers you find what you need. Same with usenet. Lots of private trackers (at least in my native tongue, but most likely in many other tongues too) that deal with local stuff. I never not found anything except some very rare cases (in which torrent, debrid or even group-FPTs didn’t help either, it was just not available at all)

As you said: if you know what you’re doing…applies to everything :)

As said, if one does not understand a medium, it’s not the medium’s fault. Same as with torrent, if you need niche-stuff like localized dubs, you’d need local forums/sites for that. Same as with private torrent-trackers. I’m not a native-tongue either, but if i want localized or foreign stuff, there are at least 3 sites where i always find the stuff. It’s just not a simple “enter name, wait, watch” anymore, just the same speed when actually downloading. I even have torrent as a low-priority fallback enabled. Didn’t trigger for years :) Also torrent’s full-speed vastly depends on age of torrents and how mainstream their content is. As if every torrent of the last decade on that tracker is shared with full-speed.

Anyhow, if you think torrent is superior, you’re surely entitled to your own opinion of course. As said, the less people that use the usenet, the better for its future.

Proof? Why would I need proof? I was just helpful. Personally couldn’t care less where you get your shit.

I download at 100% of my line’s speed (3gbit) 99% of the time. I don’t need to rely on seeders and don’t care for u/d-ratio. If you don’t understand how things work, just stick with Torrents. The fewer that use usenet, the better 😉

Torrent sucks. Go for usenet. As long as it doesn’t really hit mainstream it’s far superior. Plus all the *arrs (sonarr etc) and you’re comfortably set. (Though they work fine with torrents too, if you prefer those for whichever reason)

I have a minimal maintenance-setup running for years now. Wanna see a show? Enter name, select quality, wait a few seconds, start first episode. Movie? Enter name, click download, wait a minute or more and watch. Same with music and subtitles and even fucking porn (who collects porn???).

Price? Not even 10 bucks a month (provider plus indexer). And I even could save, coz I use 3 indexers while one would suffice most of the time and I also pay monthly for emby (I like it and want to give back, beats the lifetime-payment)

It sounds so absurd, dystopian and even surreal that I find it hard to believe. But then again… It’s the USA…

Despite it seemingly being an actual remaster, not the usual 3-6 upscaled textures and 5 fresh new bugs, but a full price-tag plus paywalled quests? And no mods for a foreseeable future?

Pass. Maybe as warez, but…nah.

Jeez. You expect people to actually reply to this - helpfully even - after you put over 10 seconds into your stroke-inducing “request”?

I don’t see much of a difference. Besides the obvious physical one of course. You have paint on your face right now, whatever kind it might be. Maybe it’s a message, maybe you’re dumb, maybe you’ve made a big mistake at some time, maybe not. But should I care? Are you good people or a mean piece of human garbage? That is what counts (to me). You could be either, with or without paint. My prejudgment doesn’t cloud my actual judgment of you.

I wouldn’t say they’re a terrible idea. Except maybe you’d want to work one of those boring ass jobs where a stick up your arse is a requirement. Like accountant, salesman or bank-clerk.

But besides your own consequences in this world for having makeup or face-tats, I couldn’t care less. You’re not defined by the clothes you wear, the money in your accounts, the color of your skin, nor the paint you put on that. Permanent or not. Unless, as said, the message is obvious (swastika et al) and hence more judge-able. You’re defined by your actions. The facetat-dude could be the loveliest dude ever, while the suit could be the worst kid-beater.

What I would do is having a prejudgment maybe. But that is just by looking at you and has no intrinsic value at all, until you proove me right or wrong. Just a first impression.

I would (and actually do) hire anyone for anything if they prove to be good people (and obviously abled for the job). Heck, I have one dude managing a branch that is covered in tats (face too), wears some rock- or punk whatever outfit, is a harley-biker with rings heavier than my watch and looks like 3 angry people melted into one big SOB 😁… And is one of the kindest persons I’ve ever met who helps everyone and works his free time in a soup-kitchen.

Long story short: prejudgment should be just that. A quick judgment based on appearance prior to a real judgment based on character.

I would actually not care nor measure that into my judgment. At one particular time in their life, this felt like a great idea to them. We didn’t live their life, we can’t know. It might even make up for a great story to tell.

And on top of that: I see no difference to make-up, except it’s permanent. Women paint their faces like they’re applying to Clowns college and noone bats an eye. A nice face-tattoo is just more plainly identifieable as paint than good makeup is.

Not talking about a swastika or other stupid messages of course. If you portrait stupid messages I’m forced to deduct you’re stupid.
