Human Rights Watch is “zionist” now? Lmao

Yes.

Usually it helps but not as much as most people think. Very few people actually use a privacy focused browser, so that in and of itself is surprisingly identifying.

Why did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don’t need a ‘fourth’ outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.

Almost the entirety of computer graphics uses the z coordinate for depth afaik.

Even Minecraft does it.

Which one?

(Technically all the same, I know).

Element zapping is still a thing.

That’s a noun. It’s used as a verb in this card description, which is wrong.

There are StringComparison options to pass that allow you to ignore case sensitivity when comparing. No need for ToLower.

TIL Greenland sharks can live up to 500 years, take 150 years to reach sexual maturity and have a gestation period of up to 18 years. And apparently it takes a year in the back yard to prepare as well.

They’re sideways facing eyes, but a bit diagonal. Definitely not forward facing though. They’re just a bit bulgy.

A TOS is not a liability shield. If Raine violated the terms of service, OpenAI should have terminated the service to him.

They did not.

There is a correlation between height and dick size, but it’s quite small. IIRC for every 20cm or so in height you get 1cm in dick on average, but it varies enough that it’s no certainty a tall guy has a larger dick.

Also fun fact: studies into penis size correlating with other factors can be broadly generalised into two categories: measured studies, which is where doctors will measure the penis when erect in a consistent manner, and self-reported studies, where people just tell a researcher how big it is.

Self-reported studies generally come back with results like “black people have larger dicks, Asians have shorter dicks” etc… But in measured studies, it turns out that worldwide penis size is basically all the same. It’s people self-reporting their own size + a correction for what they think they should have (nobody wants to be below average). In places with high porn consumption, penises tend to “be larger”, because that’s what men see and they want to have the same. Only in countries that tend to censor genitalia in porn do you find people actually self-report a size that’s essentially the same as their actual size (which usually happens to be Asian countries). That, plus the whole “BBC” genre in porn, essentially explains the self-reported racial differences in dick size.

Also fun: self-reported studies overestimate average dick size by approx. 2cm. Self-reported the average is about 15cm, but when actually measured it drops to about 13cm (which also happens to be 6 inches and just over 5 inches respectively; see the psychological effect there?).

I’ve heard of Zorin before. It’s been around for a while, but last I heard anything was years ago. There’s not been much hype or anything since.

“Demsoc” is just a shorthand for “democratic socialist”. Similar to how “ancap” is “anarcho-capitalist” and “nazbol” is “national-bolshevik”.

No, life expectancy was used to show that life was better in Russia under the Soviet Union. Which is only true if you look at the direct chaos after the fall, but the comparison is much, much less rosy when you zoom out a little and realise that under modern Russia living standards actually increased, whereas they stagnated under the Soviet Union.

I argued that the Soviets were already behind most of the world, and that their stagnation was indicative of worsening living standards. Developing countries did not show such stagnation unless there was either severe civil strife or external factors (like the fall of the Soviets) impacting them.

And sorry for saying this, but I think it’s kind of a given that as the world’s number two superpower, it’s kinda expected that their life expectancy is higher than developing countries in Africa. I don’t see how that’s this supposed slam dunk you’re pretending it is. “Yeah life in the Soviet Union was better than in Chad”, no shit Sherlock. But life in Chad is actively improving, which the Soviets failed to do. It’s an enormous nation filled with natural resources, the Soviets not improving living standards in such conditions is almost an achievement.

I’ve been talking about the stagnation in the rise of life expectancy between 1960 and 1980. It only started rising again around 2000, after the fall of the Union. Try to keep up.

Developing countries obviously had a lower life expectancy, but one that was still on the rise, indicating improving living conditions. Same goes capitalist nations and many of the more developed nations had passed the SU by a fairly wide margin.

The SU, as one of the very few nations in the world, managed to completely stagnate, which indicates that living conditions weren’t improving, and likely worsening somewhat (as advancements in medicine normally leads to a longer average lifespan).

By the way, you yourself steered towards comparing the Soviet Union with developing nations in Africa, as any other comparison was somehow unfair to you. I compared them with western nations, nations in Asia and now random countries in Africa to play along with your demands. And now that you can’t shift further, you throw in a “Imagine thinking” reddit-like response.

How about you either address the flatlined life expectancy during these 20 years directly then, skip the comparisons. Why didn’t it improve? Or just come up with a country that is a fair comparison to you. Because if you’re not going to seriously engage and just throw out silly soundbites then there’s no point to this.

He’s not named Adam, he only compares himself to the biblical Adam at some point.

KDE Plasma is just the desktop environment. It’s not an OS. SteamOS is a full OS, built off of Arch Linux. It has both a Gaming mode, which looks a lot like Steam Big Picture does these days, and a desktop mode that uses Plasma as the graphical shell/interface. It doesn’t matter OS-wise which one you “boot” into, as both are SteamOS.
