In my area there is an actual law regulating this. You can leave earlier, but you won’t get payment for the last period if you do so, unless your employer agrees to pay it out anyway.

Yeah, I would love to know how many people genuinely want to ride a Ferrari in this case, and how many are willing to live a life from the magazine cover, only to be disappointed if they ever get there.

Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?
A lot of people got into the battlefield against their will, and among those who signed the contract, most did it for the money and not out of bloodlust.
Dehumanizing the enemy is leaving them little room to defect or change their views.

It kinda exists, but I feel it is drowned in the era of outrage-based media.
And yes, it is often appropriated by various actors, even though the premise couldn’t be clearer.

I support feminist ideas, but don’t find them fitting to look at mens’ problems.
You randomly slap misogynist labels left and right because you got so rigid you cannot even start to comprehend any alternative view.
Nothing wrong with feminism when it comes to women and their issues.

The problem is in your first remake of the quote.
I don’t like being associated with anti-racism…
I support antisexism. You just equated feminism and antisexism, and the latter is a bigger category than the former.
Nothing wrong with feminism as a fight for women’s rights, but looking at mens’ problems through the prism of feminism is the same as looking at racism against whites through the prism of BLM, or apples through bananas. That’s simply the wrong tool.
There is feminism - about women. There is masculism (which is currently heavily discredited by patriarchal shitheads, but originally comes from the same place of equality as feminism) - about men. There are also nonbinaries fighting for their place in the world. And there is antisexism combining them all.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
In principle, I do agree; but sometimes we have to explicitly highlight that men (or any other group) are included, because it’s often implied that some group is not.
It could be helpful to look into stereotypes people of both genders face that stop them, in this case, from seeking therapy. One can call out issues women AND men (and nonbinary folks) face on the topic, thereby both being very explicit that everyone’s involved, but maintaining a balanced message.
Something like “Men, you deserve support. You don’t have to be tough”, and then “Women, you don’t have to be a neverending source of care. You might need help too” etc.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I don’t like being associated with feminism for a single reason - not everyone agrees that both women and men suffer, and the blame is often shifted on men. Besides, it is originally about women fighting for their rights, not men, and at any point in time women can note that it’s for the women and about women, effectively shaking off the very men who promoted it.
We can do better by building a wider antisexist community. At the end of the day, all we want, as long as we act in good faith, is for everyone to be equal in their rights and opportunities. Women face sexism. Men face sexism. Some of it stems from patriarchy, some of it might come from other angles. We should come together not under the banner of feminism, not under the banner of masculism, but from the neutral ground if we ever hope to achieve a society that treats men and women as equals.

- Comment on Captcha 3 days ago:
During the Soviet invasion of Finland, snipers paid a crucial role in fending off the attack. Knowing the terrain and unique geographic features, Finnish soldiers were much more effective in battle, and snipers even more so.
For this reason, the invasion didn’t reach its ultimate goal despite Soviet Union having massive military advantage. Still, some territories went incorporated into the USSR.
- Comment on Captcha 3 days ago:
Calling Russian troops “orcs” is already quite dehumanizing, which is a source of conflicts as it is.
But really, Finnish army was well-suited as is to resist Russian invasion by intimate knowledge of the location and a mighty network of civil and military defenses, but now with NATO support it’s like a Viet Cong on steroids.

Technically, a developer can contact vendors to include their keys to Secure Boot, but that would require asking all of them and them responding positively. So, in practice, it is commonly Microsoft that controls it since obviously just about any vendor will support their signatures.

Secure Boot does allow for Linux installation, just not any Linux installation. Some distros support it (like Fedora), some don’t (like Manjaro).

I do not agree with an angry mob downvoting you, but I’ll notice this is probably not the context to put this in.
This looks more like a parent figuring out about their kids being trans. In the OP’s context, everyone is on an even ground.
Here, it is mostly important to use their preferred names/pronouns and consult on the terms as necessary.

No, I’m asking drivers to follow the rules designed to make driving safer, which is something a human is fully capable to do. If that means installing speed cams at every corner, I’m all in. As long as it’s not that, we have what we have to enforce those limits.
I also fully support and actively use public transportation and only engage in driving when necessary (which is actually quite little).
And please, do not jump to the conclusion about someone’s mental health based on a comment on the Internet. All I strongly state there is that it is insane to blame someone who follows the rules on the road instead of those who routinely break them out of habit and convenience.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 6 days ago:
For worst conditions, it’s a common recommendation to slow down even further.
You do not want to drive by the limit when the road is slippery, the side wind blows your car away, and visibility is 10 feet.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 6 days ago:
I’m pretty sure those who have set it at 60mph have calculations you didn’t consider.
Maybe there are places on the road where someone may suddenly appear, be it human or a wild animal? Maybe the road can get slippery? Maybe the cars going above 60mph create too much noise in the neighborhood? There are many more reasons one could set a road at that, and many may not even come to your mind.
And no, this is almost certainly not about tickets.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 6 days ago:
The danger is created in the first place by normalization of speeding.
I am aware that, technically, if I’d drive by traffic at any given time, accidents will be less likely. But this danger of variable speed is not created by me moving too slow, it’s because of others moving too fast, because speeding is normalized in the first place. The lane speed should be the within bounds of speed limit, the rest is not and should never be my problem or fault.
Now, don’t get me wrong, if my actions can prevent an actually imminent accident (such as speeding up to let someone return to lane before reverse traffic traps them) - of course I will. But for regular driving, I will strictly adhere to the rules and regulations. If this gets someone who breaks the rules in an accident - that’s on them, maybe it’ll teach them a lesson.

This.
I drive by the limit, and every time I say this a bunch of folks jumps in saying I am the problem when I stop my lane and poor poor speeders have to adapt and not crash into each other.
Speed limits are there for a reason. Speeders love to say shit like “they’re outdated”, but this is also wrong, they are up to date with vehicles on the road.

Honestly, many of them you know full well, but that’s because yes, they are that good:
- Minecraft
- TES III Morrowind and TES V Skyrim
- The Witcher 1 and 3
- Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Dishonored 1 and 2
- Warcraft III and World of Warcraft
Completely deserve their legendary status
