The funny thing is, a cheap quartz crystal based clock is more accurate than the best mechanical clock
Fancy clocks being more accurate than cheap clocks is literally just marketing.

I can’t say I’ve ever had a relationship or friend that made me want to do sexist jokes about them
- Comment on There are some downsides to marriage 3 weeks ago:
Sad motherfuckers for calling out a shitty "spouse “bad” joke?
No, it’s just people are super tired of hearing about jokes being made at the expense of people you’re supposed to love lmao. That’s like the exact opposite of “sad motherfuckers”.

And was it wrong to respond with violence back?

Would you say the same about the civil war to end slavery? It’s not always as simple as “violence = terrorism & bad” as you make it or to be

You’re being very uncharitable to people who have done this for most of their lives and likely are perfectly aware of the limitations
- Comment on It's been known for almost 40 years 3 weeks ago:
Not to mention it’s very likely to lead to problems down the line if you ban discussion and don’t work out problems
Take for example antivax stuff or thinking doctors are in for a conspiracy or something. That can directly lead to someone’s death. You do not want that to happen
Or social issues like regarding queer people, what if someone’s child realizes they’re queer? Then it’s going to blow up again anyway, and the child will suffer
And so on

In my experience it’s much easier to be a similar “perfect” in the long run. My parents were shit and they’re forever miserable, because they’re not willing to do the hard work for happiness. Meanwhile I’ve been at it regarding the hard work and, sure, while exhausting, I feel far better for it and it feels so much more sustainable.
I could go on and elaborate but idk if that’s too necessary

Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?
Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence. Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day.

Genuine question, what’s wrong with stock footage? What else should they use?

Deadlock isn’t as bad but god, the amount of racist, bigoted, and straight up fucked up things people have said are tiring and enough for me to never want to be on a mic
There’s only so many times you bother listening to someone yelling at their teammates, throwing out slurs, or even telling people

I presume it’s due to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), there is a cultural aspect there that is detectable through voice

Until you need to verify if the computer understood and solved the problem properly
It’s like, sure, a calculator can help you solve equations… but what is the proper equation for the situation?

- Comment on Is non-sexual masochism a thing? 1 month ago:
Well, here’s another question then, is cuddling sexual? Most people would say no, though it fits that definition
In addition, for me one of the sexual activities I enjoy the most is basically described as “horny cuddling”, but that’s also something people have different perceptions of
It’s really not as straightforward to define and put down an all-encompassing definition as you might think. Especially when you want to include different people’s preferences, experiences, and opinions
- Comment on Is non-sexual masochism a thing? 1 month ago:
A lot of people do
Hell, I’ve heard plenty people say that oral sex isn’t sex
I don’t think the person is arguing that, they are saying that it depends on your definition of sexual

On the other hand, do keep in mind that mighty empires have fallen. We cannot say for sure that things will be fine just because in the past the USA has survived

Maybe because reading is a sign of being intelligent/cultured in people’s mind, and people on average value that slightly more than physical fitness

You say that but I’ve heard concerningly many people say that there is no point in teaching everyone stuff like basic math because chances are they won’t use it

We’re about to see a fascist america, and this is what you’re worried about?
Do you also feel bad for the Nazis in pre-war germany who got harmed? Or even killed? Chances are you don’t
Our world is about to become very different to what we’re used to. Get ready for it. Playing nice won’t win you the war

The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean’s studio.
I mean, I get that I don’t have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable
In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change

I see this myth everywhere, but what is it based on? They’re still actively updating Stationeers and ICARUS
Just look at their update history of you don’t believe me
