I think they still need to be called out for their BS. The response wasn’t just for him, it was also for others who might read it and think that’s somehow an acceptable opinion to have.

As a foreigner, if you voted for a genocider (there was two in this race), I do not think you are human.

I feel like that’s such an idealistic way of viewing things. Hypothetically, if you had a choice between indirectly supporting genocide or throwing your entire life into chaos you’d rather ruin your own life? If you’re actually willing to ruin your own life for it you’re more passionate about this issue than 99% of the population. For example I don’t have an issue supporting Ukraine, I’ve donated to support packages going to Ukraine. But you won’t find me on the battlefield because there’s a limit to my support and that limit is at not throwing away my life. I guess that makes me inhuman because I could do more and I’m choosing to not to.

If the table turns sometime, if I have to pick between genocide in the US and fascism here, well, I hope you have a place to hide lmao

How hypocritical and vindictive. I won’t do what I consider humane because you deserve it.

Actually I’ve grown more fond of my ultrawide monitor and I don’t really couch game anymore, so I haven’t bothered to troubleshoot why it does that.

I agree that my specific issue is an uncommon one as it took a bit of digging on the web to find a working solution, and that alone isn’t an indication that the official dock is bad. The purpose of my comment was to shed light on the fact that it’s not as plug and play as the Switch dock is. You can’t just buy the official dock and expect everything to work.

Maybe a third party dock works better. I don’t really know, but it’s something to look into when you plan to buy a dock for the deck.

If you have a dock. Maybe I’ve been unlucky but I don’t recommend the official dock. Every time I want to use the deck in a docked mode I have to rewire everything in the correct order to get the dock to output a normal resolution. Wire it in the wrong order and you either get no output or you get low resolution output with weird artifacts.

I would absolutely recommend taking time to get comfortable with blueprints, they’ve been a huge timesaver for me. I just got my 600 caterium ingot factory up and running. Took me about 15 minutes to build, connect and wire 50 refineries. They don’t look pretty but I don’t care about pretty. If I wanted to make them pretty I could always build a building around the blueprint.

I also have blueprints for smelters, foundries, constructors, assemblers and manufacturers. All of them running vertically so whenever I need to scale up the production I just build my towers higher and the only manual things I do are connecting the wire between 2 blueprinted parts and connecting the inputs and outputs. Eventually I’ll hit the belt limit, but then I’ll just start a new tower next to the original one. I have also made blueprints for blenders and refineries but those expand horizontally and I’m not 100% happy with them, but they’re still better than manually building them.

I think I’ve saved tenfold the time I spent figuring out good blueprints and it has taken off a huge mental load of factory maintenance because everything is built using the exact same style so it’s pretty simple to understand what is going on in any of my blueprinted factories.

Kinda but not quite. The fluid buffer isn’t necessary and it’s just one pipe going up and down. The idea of a water tower is to pressurize all your pipes with just one headlift pipe. Let’s say you need 1800 cubic meters of water to go up 40m. How many mk 2 pumps do you need? Three? Actually you need just one. You take one pipe, add the pump to it and bring it up to 40m, then bring it back down. That pipe is your “water tower”. You then connect it to the three pipes you want going up to your factory and all those pipes will move water up to the water tower height. The best part is that you can connect however many additional pipes to that water tower and they all will flow up to the same height without any additional pumps.

Here’s a quick 2min video explaining the concept.

Everybody doing it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a bad thing for customers and a reason for piracy.

But that’s on Nintendo. For those people the game doesn’t cost $70, it costs $200+ even if they buy a used Switch lite. Nintendo is deliberately leveraging their games to make people buy their console when those people just want to buy the game.

They want to have their cake and eat it too, and that is most likely one of the biggest reasons people pirated TOTK.

Whenever I need headlift on a lot of pipes of the same fluid I build a “water tower”. Built properly it should cover all your headlift needs.

They do exist and some of them swear Mac has better workflows (than windows because most of the time your options are Windows or Mac). I would call them loonies but I’ve seen some smart people use Macs.

But that doesn’t keep him in the race, there are moron candidates with moron voters in other countries but they generally drop out pretty quickly. What keeps Trump in the race is mostly the electoral college but also the first past the post voting. Trump wouldn’t have a shot at winning if the electoral college didn’t skew the value of individual votes and first past the post effectively limits the amount of candidates you can have.

Yeah, it’s definitely more of a case of being just unlucky because it’s not a common issue with the dock. Took me quite a while to find that wire trick.

I think Steam Deck is great and a huge impact on both Linux gaming and handheld gaming. My only gripe with the Steam deck is trying to use it in docked mode. I’m not sure if it’s the TV or the official dock but the only way I could get it working is when I disconnect all the wires from the dock and then connect them in the right order. I think it was 1) connect deck to the dock 2) Connect HDMI to the dock and finally 3) connect power to the dock. If I don’t connect it the right way the signal from the dock to the TV gets fucked up and I either get some really crappy resolution that doesn’t even get properly aligned, weird almost white noise or just straight up black screen. Not really a big issue for me since I mostly use the deck when away from home, but it still that using it at home is such a hassle (at least for me).

So what’s your broader hostile context? Or are you living an unnatural life?

Is it the landlord or corporate owner putting the boot to your neck because you need a roof over your head and food in your belly?

If so do you think your life would lose meaning if the boot was lifted from your neck?

Do you really think it’s unnatural to have all your needs met?

If that’s the way you want to play it, Here’s the proof of soviet vote manipulation

I’m not supposed to magically find evidence for your arguments. You’re supposed to find the evidence and present it. How am I supposed to discredit something you yourself refuse to present? I just took exempts from your “evidence” and you pretty much ignored it because clearly that was not what you meant when you linked something you yourself didn’t read.

Pat Sloan provided evidence to the contrary.

Well, link that then.

Here’s a place to find newspapers from the USSR, you can read those if you want.

I’m supposed to do your job for you? No thanks. If you can’t find actual examples then maybe time for you to accept you’re doing the “God is real because you can’t disprove him” argument.

So you want me to go through your sources? Alright:

Before the proclamation of the 1936 Constitution, elections to soviets of all levels beyond local urban and rural ones (with varying ratios of citizens-per-representative each) were indirect, carried out by soviets of lesser scale below them. However, direct elections for township or industrial soviets were allowed to be competitive in theory, with candidates of different organizations other than the Communist Party and even the Orthodox Church allowed to fill the paperwork,[citation needed] although constant disenfranchisement of their voters and persecution of any activism during the campaign was the norm. [9]

Soviet Citizens were able to vote for representatives to represent them in the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, which was the legislative arm of the Soviet Union. The elections in the Soviet Union would be held every 4 years for the citizens to go to the polling station and vote for a single candidate. These candidates who were going to be elected for 4 years were approved by the Communist Party themselves and were the only option on the ballot. [10]

Even with a single candidate on the ballot, representatives could theoretically fail to get elected in the Soviet Union, but this did not happen above the lowest levels. A representative would have to keep local improvements satisfactory in order to try to gain greater than a 50% vote. Although not the definition of democracy, the Soviet people would still have the choice to keep or to basically “request” a new candidate from the Communist Party. Although selected by the Communist Party, each representative had to some degree keep their population somewhat satisfied with the way they were governing their people.[14] With the threshold of a 50% vote, many unsatisfied Soviets would form groups and would lobby to have their voices heard. This would allow the dissenters to have a small amount of input on how some things should be run in the Soviet Union. However, group dissent was extremely rare due to opposition from the authorities.

Literally spelling out that voicing ideas got you persecuted, candidates were pre-selected by the party in power and any dissent was met by opposition from the authorities.

And yet, not a single actual example of what you claim.

Your sources at not actual examples. They’re broad strokes of how it might’ve worked. You wanted an actual example of vote manipulation, I want an actual example of voicing an idea and voting on it.

I feel like you’re the one moving the goalposts. Remember, this is what you said.

Banning of factionalism was done when there were literal fascists and Capitalists trying to infiltrate the party and reinstate Tsarism for their profits. You were allowed to have different ifeas, voice them, and vote on them.

You say they banned certain ideologies, but beyond that you don’t mention anything about elections or politics. You said people could voice different ideas and vote on them. You have not given actual evidence of that.

You linked elections, you said people could voice idea and vote on them. Election is not voicing an idea.
