LaTex tribe expands to video eh?
I first learned computers by sneaking onto campus and borrowing an account to layout a book using Tex. It’s convolute. I can see a certain masochistic thrill in command line video editing.

Yes, people under stress, or more accurately the duress of a chronic, barely relenting, and ubiquitous threat, are going to be reacting defensively in a reflexive manner, and that sometimes, especially for people who aren’t emotionally intelligent, means that they are going to stereotype.
Frankly, it is important to remember that there is a lot of cognitive load, trying to figure out who is a threat and who is not.
So, please have compassion in this situation, and recognize that many of the people you see as stereotyping or painting “men” with a broad brush are dealing with a kind of PTSD. Once you keep that in mind, it’s a lot easier to have a thick skin, and with compassion can even help them see things more clearly without being oppositional.

It’s likely if you’re a man who behaves a certain way. I am an older man who has had to assist quite a few women after various degrees of sexist assault. I have also worked closely with men who were victims of violence by women, but I am generally in agreement with people about the misogyny risk that is everpresent for women. Most guys have little idea how deep it runs.
And then we get this kind of whinging. Dude, fucking wake up.

Thank you for your service.

You attribute an uneducated, uncivil approach to human nature, but I have been in human queues around the world, and they vary hugely based on cultural and social differences.
What you think is human nature seems to actually be driving culture in your region.
Yesterday I had a swasticar driver actually let me in on a disorderly merge. I was amazed, it was a first. Clue: nothing about Hondas changes people to be better. Tesla and BMW drivers are just shittier at sharing. This is culturally allowed.

Well yes, society functions only with cooperation. Uncivil behaviour ends with violence and dismay.
However 3s usually allows for slow adjustments which alleviate caterpillaring.

3 fucking seconds
The answer is a simple 3 second gap.
That’s it, just 3-mississippi (or 3-onethousand) seconds behind the car in front of you and most of the avoidable jams go away.

That is a possibility with nearly any classified listing and always has been.
Situational awareness and good street sense are necessary. Bring a friend or be as public as you can, etc.
Most online scams, including phishing and tech support scams, are variations on ancient techniques.

You go! Also check for more niche classified sites, like specific to universities etc.

Why did people stop using craigslist?
It is just the old bulletin board / classified newspaper niche, usually there’s more than one venue in urban areas.

Oh yeah, those shitgibbons are always lurking around the margins looking for an opportunity. It’s an eternal problem, and another actual fascist conspiracy is driving it right now. Fuck Stephen Harper and the IDU.
Most discussions about Libor in the early slashdot/digg/reddit fora were not ethnically aligned, the craven ones got downvotes at first. I never read any upvoted threads about NSA abuses that referenced hate speech. No one notably mentioned Jews or other hate targets regarding UFO coverups until space laser MTG. I also think those posts and threads were downvoted and moderated at first.
A lot of the r/conspiracy discussion in the early 2010’s still had quite a few left-leaning anti authoritarian participants, buoyed by recently being right about some large actual conspiracies, and they were numerous enough to repress obvious racism. It didn’t become a lost battle until the Q brigade showed up.
- Comment on They're completely serious 2 months ago:
People forget. Back in the day it was talk about Libor and NSA abusing FISA and UFO coverups, much of which was actual conspiracy not theory. It wasn’t clearly aligned politically, just suspicious of power. The trumplings didn’t show up for quite a few years and quickly shit all over the floor.

I thought so too but remembered yesterday I was working at an office they were putting back together after remodeling and noticed they were playing music off an iPhone and it was surprisingly loud.

- Comment on ’28 Years Later’ Was Filmed Using 20 iPhones at Once 3 months ago:
Boyle uses low budget guerilla film techniques for feature films sometimes. 28 Days was the first feature shot on consumer tape cameras, Canon X1 I think, and they compensated by using a lot of them at once.
Most expensive scene was an empty bridge in London at 5:30AM, IIRC, and they only had a few minutes to pull it off. Lots of cheap cameras gives you options, if you can work with resolution and lens and colourspace issues.

Au contraire, the rage-perp needs to stop at the third beer, and definitely would benefit from a couple of bong hits and an hour of introspection.

This is the best answer in the thread. Add in eye contact and eyebrow gesture.

Well it is a matrix synapse server that runs the element web app, and I will make sure everyone also uses the element device apps as well, mainly for consistency.
So you have been using Matrix! Element is just a matrix front-end.
Most of our team is nontechnical so Element.app seems like a good skype replacement from an interface point of view. We also tried Zulip, rocket.chat, and Discord. Zulip was the second choice. I just have to ensure they don’t wander off into federated servers by accident, or invite anyone else.
- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 5 months ago:
I work with a small manufacturer team scattered around the world, and Skype has been the glue since it was released.
Now Skype is dead (in a month) and I have the opportunity to move things in a secure and non-American direction, so I will try and introduce team members to our shiny new matrix homeserver hosted in Europe.
I’ll be locking it down without defederating, as it’s a teamchat only server. Any advice?

You mean like SNW which is peppered with regular jokes about the captain’s appearance, especially hair? Especially the musical episode where the Klingons aggressively sing and dance “why you only call me / when you got your problems”. Took that one pretty far.

Eating a tiger liver would probably kill you with Vitamin A poisoning, particularly painful.
Easy to just avoid eating entirely, even if the rest of it is safe enough.
