Huh?
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
In fact, the “white” race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.
The “race” questionnaire has Egypt as “white”, so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be “white”. Just based on the questionnaire.
Dunno, weird. I still don’t understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
Latino means from Latin America, meaning “the part of the Americas where people talk languages derived from Latin”. Brazilian is derived from Portuguese, which in turn comes from Latin, so yeah the term tracks.
Hispanic is derived from the Spanish term “Hispano hablante” (spanish speaking), so it only describes Spanish speaking countries.
Regardless, some people might take offence with the Hispanic term due to its derogatory use in the US and that’s why they prefer the “Latino” term. I’m not gonna challenge their preference, it’s better to use what each prefers.
Hope this helps.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
Are proper Spaniards, people actually from Spain … Hispanic?
None that I know would consider that that term describes them, neither do I. And I’m from Spain, so I know quite a bit of Spaniards.
The word hispanic is used in “hispanohablante”, which is a word to describe countries or communities that speak Spanish outside of Spain, naturally.
However, when talking about “hispanohablante” (spanish speaking) communities in Europe for example, the term doesn’t distinguish between South Americans or Spaniards, so idk. It’s just weird to think of us as Spanish speaking people, we are in Spain, of course we speak Spanish. Duh.

The second one. The “hold my beer” is an expression used to describe a situation where you would be drinking, and you would be asking someone to hold your drink so you can do something.
It can technically be the first one but… That would be a wordplay on the usually meaning of the format.

D2 resurrected is the remaster. Infernal edition is the warlock DLC. The remaster was released some years ago and as much as I hate blizzard it’s decent-ish. It doesn’t support more ofc so it has no use for me but it’s what it is. Infernal edition is trash.

Paid class DLC that has no new story and people are getting hyped over it? Disappointing…
Guys, there’s plenty D2 mods, no need to buy the new Kool-aid from the sexual assault studio.

You are the one implying that it’s enforced toxic positivity. It’s not.
I’m disagreeing with you perfectly fine, and I can block/report toxic people too.
While I agree with you that the concept of forced toxic positivity is bad, I don’t see the implication that blocking downvotes is it.
You downvote either when you disagree with a comment, which is a soft censorship and I don’t really like that, or when the other user is being an asshole, in which case the proper tool is the block/report, not downvoting.
If you disagree with a comment you can either respond or ignore, I feel like downvoting is a soft censorship that creates an unnecessary bias on new readers.
In any case, feel free to have your opinion that blocking downvotes sucks, but please don’t say that it’s forcing toxic positivity, that’s not true.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 weeks ago:
Oh, so you are actually implying that blahaj has an unhealthy mentality too since we don’t have downvoting?
Bruh.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 weeks ago:
Blahaj has then disabled too, and I’m sure there’s more.
I actually engage in more disagreements now because I don’t have the easy down button. I’m pretty anti downvote now tbh.
I wouldn’t imply that the unhealthyness of hexbear is due to the disabled downvoting though, and I’m sure you aren’t either, but just to be clear.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 weeks ago:
Ignore, block, report. Maybe leave a comment so others that join have an anchor to read.
Idk, it’s not the end of the world.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 weeks ago:
There are some communities which have downvotes disabled, blahaj is one of them. I don’t know how many downvotes you have and I don’t care anymore. It’s way more interesting to engage. Also, since I’m on blahaj I comment and upvote much more. Downvotes kill discussion.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 weeks ago:
I disliked not being able to downvote when I moved to blahaj, but I kinda love it now. If I like the content I upvote, if I dislike it not I either respond (not for them really but for other readers), tag them or block/report. I upvote much more than before now.
If the comment isn’t deserving a block/report, is there any merit to downvote them really? If they are assholes just block/report, and if you just disagree, you can either respond in good faith or ignore them.
You either downvote because you disagree, which is a soft censorship since you are lowering the visibility of the comment you disagree, or you downvote because they are assholes, when you should have blocked/reported them to actually eliminate that comment if it’s actually bad.
Downvotes offer nothing of value.

Have they finally released screen sharing in ts6? I gotta say that the development of that project is pretty comical. Radio silence with the only communication being the community manager shitting on discord every other day while giving no updates on their own product.
Weird vibes.

Voice chat isn’t inherently costly to host, usually the server acts as a broker and then people connect P2P. Do you remember jitsi? It was used as an alternative to zoom during covid, it was a webpage like Google meet where you opened a room, and people joined with the link. Actually under the good the first one that joined the room acted as a host so all voice communications never reached jitsi’s servers.
Jitsi still exists btw, although I understand that a more integrated solution like matrix is preferable. Matrix IS the federated discord-like solution, although last time I read about it it had some issues with scalability and the typical foss Dev drama.

They are mostly glass and silica I think. The thing that generates electricity is basically a reverse LED. They are also highly recyclable, as the video linked in the other comment explains.

I work remote and in my context a quick call is always a video call, which tbh feels low key nice to interact with coworkers.
Usually they are having an issue and need to share the screen, or are showing me a document they prepared and are explaining their reasoning for feedback, or I had an idea for their issue and I wanted to explain them with some pseudocode… I much prefer quick “calls” where I can show my screen than text, presenting ideas and hearing feedback is sooo much better (not only faster but better) if you can see the face of the person you are working with.

You are supposed to have the Molotov closed, the idea is for the released gasoline to catch the fire when the bottle breaks. Else you risk igniting anything in between you and your target.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 1 month ago:
Oh, dialects not only sped it up, they skip parts of words too. Funnily enough, I’m from the region where our dialect is to over pronounce consonants, and thus the easiest to understand haha.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 1 month ago:
Maybe I have a little bias as a Spaniard, but I swear languages that lack a set of rules to correctly pronounce every word ever are mental illnesses.
I could give you any Spanish word you don’t know and you wouldn’t miss pronounce it.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 month ago:
Yeah, as I said, it was the warrior, who took diablo’s soulstone with himself, but succumbed to evil and was possessed by Diablo. So, yeah, tuned evil. Still, at that point I wouldn’t call that body the player from the first game.
Afaik originally in D2 we were supposed to kill him and that would be it, but the animator company decided that it would be cool to animate some dude piercing his forehead with a stone, and since there wasn’t anymore dev time Blizzard North decided to go with it. That gave way to to justification for the corruption/possession of the D1 warrior character and thus the story of D2 and kinda D3.

No, the bottom side has a reflection, so it’s the printed image, which was then framed and put on the floor. Then for some reason the bottom side is not completely visible, but the reflection indicates that that’s actually floor and that it’s a single shitty angle picture of the frame put on the power point.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 month ago:
Ehhhhh… Kinda, not really. The wizard goes mad, the rogue aligns with evil and the warrior failed to contain the big evil and is possessed by it.
Doesn’t sound like final boss to me.
