- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
It’s nutritious. Instead of carefully observing some diet you can eat some beef and buckwheat or cabbage or beans, and you’re good.
That said, I eat meat so rarely that my relatives worry, mainly because it takes some time to cook if you boil it, and I’m lazy and unorganized, and frying it has the potential of, eh, leaving the kitchen for 5 minutes which turn out to be half an hour and returning for the smell.
Other than that people can’t care about every problem at once.

I also included starting at their tits unconsciously, when not thinking where they are starting, or unintentionally. All more probable due to instincts.

No, capitalism is a religious term among leftists, used for things much younger.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 2 weeks ago:
I know when you are pretending to look at your phone as an excuse to stare at my tits. Stop.
While this may be true, I brought a laptop on a game yesterday and I’m not sure the girl on the opposite side of the table didn’t think something like that when my eyes were on top of the screen. Which was a lot of times, because naturally all the people are above the screen and only the keyboard and the table are below the screen.
So - please consider the fact that if there’s a direct line of sight to your tits, and someone has to look in that general direction, they may occasionally from time to time look there. And also that due to, eh, basic uncontrollable instincts they may do that unconsciously a bit more than they need. Like looking at a bunch of pencils and noticing the red ones more than the grey ones.
Also when I talk to girls about my hobbies, they very often apparently perceive this as some nonsense to get romantic. Usually that means that they gradually ignore me more and more and refuse to believe that it’s more complex. Though kinda recently (and long ago before that which led to a trauma, but eh) it was me who thought that they are fine with talking about hobbies, while being more romantic was expected, eventually led to being ignored too.

I hope you have noticed that Rojava is next to Turkey, has lost much of its territory to Turkey, and can lose the rest anytime. Definitely fighting against it better than a certain UN member state too bordering Turkey (I’m being ashamed of Armenia here), but still.
EZLN may be in a better situation. Mostly because in Latin America “live and let live” seems to be not such an idealistic approach, since I’m confident there’s a lot of force which could squash them.

I’m afraid “this system” has existed since humans learned to lie and commit fraud, and it’s not called capitalism.
But there are some laws which these things follow - the more horizontal and decentralized everything is, the less such rot.
The political ideology is called distributivism and unfortunately associated with Catholicism, but it’s the sanest I’ve encountered.
- Comment on Who decides when the US goes to "war" 4 weeks ago:
Those people in the unconstitutional and unregulated organization called “president’s administration” in Russia (which de facto took over all the important functionality from parliament, the federal council etc since around 1996) sometimes consider themselves very smart and sensitive of irony. They are also very superstitious.
Well, like people capable only of stealing and petty intrigues and achieving something at 10x the normal cost usually are.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this was their inspiration.
(While V and Z likely just meant “east” and “west”, since В and З when carelessly drawn can be mixed up more easily, if the left part gets covered in mud or something.)
- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 1 month ago:
It’s still genocide if somebody survives. Otherwise Holocaust wouldn’t be a genocide.

Good for you, some day you’ll realize that you can write anything on the Web not making it one inch closer to the reality
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
Men in general are more likely than women to be physically violent towards their partners, and women in general are more likely than men to be victims of physical abuse.
OK, suppose I agree, but what does this sentence add to this conversation? “More” doesn’t mean much.
o acknowledge that is not to say all men are abusive, just as it is not to say that all women are abuse survivors. However, to jump in and go “not ALL men!!!”
OK, I won’t answer the rest because you are not arguing in good faith.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
This is rock-banging basic stuff. Just simple, obvious logic. You had those numbers in your hands, you used them to try and make a point, and you didn’t realise this. I don’t think we should be taking your advice on how to use statistics.
Somebody should have taught you that claims are not supported by rhetoric.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
This is so dumb that I’ll return to comment.
which are… nowhere to be seen.
The pic you posted says the same thing as I say about factual statistics. You’ll have to argue with yourself.
Also the first page in Google:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7658679/
and Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/…/Domestic_violence_against_men with this - “The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that 97.2% of men do not report domestic violence to the police, compared to 82.1% of women.[6]”,
that would make a woman 6.3929 likelier to report than a man. So you actually have to normalize reported domestic violence by that, say, if there are 6 times more cases reported to police against women, then in reality it’s about the same.
Also every fucking police service publishes some stats.

Thx, it’s not annoying, my writing is sometimes like this even in my first language.
I can go into detail about each change, if you want.
We-ell, my sister regularly does that on every kind of mistake highlighted, so - not necessary, but thanks again, ha-ha.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
So to be clear: you think that domestic violence against men could be similar to domestic violence against women, for instance? Are you actually saying that?
It is from factual statistics. Yes, I’m actually saying that.
There’s a reason you singled out emotional abuse, because if you mentioned any of the other kinds, it would be pretty obvious how silly your argument was, wouldn’t it?
Factual statistics say otherwise, that my arguments isn’t silly.
I thought perpetuating gender role stereotypes and even prioritizing them over data was something a slrpnk.net user would be unlikely to do?..
Also I’m following the example of that other person and disengaging.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
I don’t see my argument being limited to emotional abuse in any way, and an example doesn’t have to cover all cases.
TLDR, you don’t look smart.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
but as soon as I ask you to explain specifics you back out?
No, as soon as you take a glance at a white ball and ask for elaborate proof that it isn’t black.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
“n in m women said that they …” and “p in q men said that they …” would be more correct.
You are comparing apples to oranges. If women and men were treated the same by the society and thus would report actual events with the same probability, then you could compare these.
How many men would admit they experienced emotional abuse were that the case? A rhetorical question. Like a half of them or more wouldn’t.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 1 month ago:
In my experience they just stop talking to you, as if hoping you’ll stop existing or something. I’m the one doing the “best wishes” shit, just to get some closure for my self.
While I just remind that I exist from time to time until too lazy, by sending links to some articles or something via DMs once in a few weeks or so. This is a bit similar to stalking, so don’t do that.
BTW, one reason I love the idea of emancipation of women is that not behaving like that isn’t some male psychology natural trait. Men just learn it, and women don’t learn it because of being treated differently.

- Comment on What’s next for Mozilla? 4 months ago:
I happen to be a Firefox user
I happen to be a former
conkeror
user, which was based on XULRunner, which Mozilla dropped, just like other ways to use their engine for other browsers.But I could use pre-Australis Firefox.
Only then their experiments on people with UI design happened.
And yes, Mozilla as an organization has objective flaws. Their treatment of the SeaMonkey project (now separate) has not been good as well.

- Comment on The Perfect Webpage: How the internet reshaped itself around Google’s search algorithms — and into a world where websites look the same. 4 months ago:
I remember that what you are describing was already present in the “open web” of old.
You’d come to some place “openly”, but then (in case of RP forums)
-
until you’d write a long character description and discuss it with mods for long, you wouldn’t be allowed to post in most parts of that forum, and
-
until you had chatted over ICQ with a few people from that forum and knew who they are and they knew who you are, you wouldn’t be really welcome, people would just ignore your posts.
You would come to a place quite socially, not unlike IRL meetings. It wouldn’t be FB or Google confirming your registration and giving you right to post, it would be a real person you were going to communicate with later.
And maybe I’m not that asocial\autistic\etc, if that was fine with me back then and what’s now isn’t. Maybe I’m just afraid of silent eyes and silent hands managing my social interactions, which is sane.

It wasn’t really IE-only. People sort of could use Netscape, and then Mozilla, and then Firefox. And Opera which wasn’t free.

And it was so fast, awww. And had a built-in BitTorrent client which didn’t suck balls and didn’t feel excessive.
And all that caching.

What I don’t get is why hasn’t there been a split yet. Not like Seamonkey, but from major developers of FF.

There’s a structural problem - it may be beneficial for companies as some coherent entities to provide such a service, but for individuals inside them, like various kinds of sales, management and so on, it’s not.
In every case where such an elusive thing as potential popularity of something conflicts with a less elusive thing like control they have in streaming services, the latter wins. Because what makes its makers rewarded on their job wins.
- Comment on All 10 TOS And TNG Star Trek Movies Exit Paramount+ For Max And HBO (Again) 4 months ago:
For me the joke is that there were any Star Trek fans who’d consider anything but torrenting (though I’ll admit ed2k is still not finally dead, and Fopnu is a usable filesharing tool, albeit proprietary).
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 4 months ago:
Well, I don’t want to cut them up really, just leave them be with bots answering bots.
The problem is that people use them still. There is demand for features absent outside of their platforms.
I mean not other people being there - that’s a point of pressure, but wouldn’t be sufficient alone.
These features are (I’m describing the abstract thing):
-
Search. People want relevant search or another way to quickly find a service, a place, a memo, a person etc without thinking.
-
Applications. Various services allow you to easily find and install some casual game, for example.
-
Forums and messaging.
-
Common identification for all these.
-
An RSS-like feed.
-
Common interface for sharing posts, pictures and so on so that the source would be referenced in a uniform way.
-
Likes and dislikes.
One can easily see these are partially things which were present and working in the good ole 2007 with XMPP (half of 3), openID (4), RSS (5), numerous web forums (another half of 3), Flash (yes, Flash, and also Java applets) (2). And back then (I was a kid, but) I can remember those being treated as future mainstream.
So the remaining parts which these companies filled and abused to monopolize the system are: 1, 6 and 7.
Search, common object space and rating.
Of course, now the other parts are not really present too.
What I’m coming at, to make it short - GNUNet could make a world of difference if it were really functional and not permanent alpha unclear how to run.

1995 Altavista all over again
It has been solved then by web rings, web indexes and web directories ran by humans for other humans.
The issue is that such a cure is not acceptable for Google, FB etc.
