  • The core complaint is for femwashed stories, where the male lead has been replaced by a woman.

    It’s very similar to Hollywood movies taking movies from Japan or China and then turning the Asian lead to a Euro-American.

    The level of hatred for this type of content is very strong as it feels like a farce or fraudelent, like someone is trying to sell you a fake designer brand item. Everything that made the item great is absent in the fake one.

    On top of that, there’s a clear fascist takeover in the US from the rainbow liberal, evangelical and social capitalists. Fascists have weird superiority and inferiority complexes including towards women. But don’t worry, Chinese movies will become popular soon, so both sides of the US political aisle will have to adjust.




    1. It matters as some distros have one maintainer or will offer you something ideological at great sacrifice, but you seem to already know that.

    2. No, the biggest difference is package manager, community forum in case you meed troubleshooting, default DE (eases troubleshooting), and release type.

    There are three big families of distros: Debian / Fedora / Arch. Any distro that is a derative of either of these three use their package manager.

    1. Drop tuxedo and take a look at endeavourOS. It’s arch-based and arch has the best package manager of all. Also KDE is their main DE. I use Manjaro because I prefer Xfce.

    In case you do use EndeavourOS, one warning, DO NOT USE THE ARCH FORUM FOR TROUBLESHOOTING!!

    (If you’ve heard of ‘Sheldon Cooper’ from the tv-series ‘Big Bang theory’ or ‘Young Sheldon’. This forum is run by a real life version of him and you will get banned there immediately or very quickly, unlike other forums. Rule #1 of many is that any user troubleshooting admits that the issue is occuring on any OS other than Arch, including the closest deratives, will get banned.)

    1. No. Don’t know what HDR is.

    2. Tinkering with the DE is definitely fun and you should play with it. Be careful though, because the freedom you’re allowed also allows you to break things. But tinkering with the DE isn’t the worst thing you could break.

    I’m going way way out against the standard model here.
    No spacetime, no dark matter or dark energy, not even photons.
    Just a ‘3D big ball of yarn single object universe’.
    If light is a ‘turn of the “stick”’, then gravity is how ‘the “sticks” are binding the atoms together’.

    And so there would not be any gravity waves.
    And any measurement of them would then have nothing to do with gravity.

    And gravity is instantateous, and if not, really really fast or planets and stars would slingshot themselves out of orbit.

    If you’re openminded enough to listen to those who disagree with the standard model,
    take an elastic band and turn one end. Instead of the band turning, you’ll have a twist in your band
    and it takes time to unravel the twist if you let go on the other end.
    That’s what will happen to the stick and this travels at lightspeed,
    because this is how light works. Light works like ‘the stick’ in your example.
    And if you try turning it faster the ‘elastic band’/stick/‘atom on the other end’ starts breaking.

    If you need FTL communication, then use gravity…somehow.



  • I don’t know if he was the most awful person I ever knew, but in the 45 minutes I’ve known him, he talked about his trip in Thailand that was all about drugs and women in a disturbing manner. He offered me to play throwing giant switchblades at a dartboard, which I accepted, not wanting to appear rude. Porn was playing and bags of white powder were laying around on the coffee table while we wrecked the dartboard completely. I can’t recall but I think there were also pictures of people on them to which he said that it would make the game more interesting. He then showed me the rest of his apartment. I thanked him, told him that I would need some time to think about becoming his roomie and would call him back and walked out of there never to return there again.

    Didn’t call the police or mentioned this to anybody and thankfully never saw him again, so no idea.
