Simple question: Are you a nice person? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I try to be, but don’t always hit the mark.

What are your thoughts about H5N1 "bird flu"? Are you doing anything to prepare? Think it's overblown? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I still can’t believe they’ve managed to make not getting sick a political stance.

Was banning human slavery an authoritarian decision? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

No. A nation that allows slavery doesn't practice human rights. For human rights to exist they have to apply to everyone, which can't work if some people are considered property.

No amount of gotchas, or arguing semantics is going to make slavery okay, and the way you're replying to peoples answers makes me think you fundamentally don't understand the question.

How do people fall for believing in socialism, despite its downfalls? in c/[email protected]

“Democratic capitalism” is an oxymoron, as without an incredibly large number of regulations, capital will replace democracy as the primary decision maker, by design.

Which one should I play first? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Similarly, 2 was my first Uncharted, which I played partway through at a friend's. When I got my own PS3 I decided to start back at 1 and found it did a much better job of teaching me how to play the game than 2 did. When I went back to 2 after finishing 1, everything I had trouble with was so much easier, and it was really need to see the jump in graphics between the games.

The Ghoul definitely picked Bloody Mess as one of his perks.

I'm glad they kept the ridiculousness. They could have made it super serious and edgy, and I don't think it would have fit as well.

Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn't feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I've seen.

Request - Women's jacket like this (beehaw.org)

So, hi! Hello!

I've been looking for a spring coat/jacket and I came across this on Amazon. I love the colour, and I love the look. Very utility, kind of military with the epaulets.

But I've seen it under half a dozen different brand names with the same picture, and on Wal-Mart, and many other fast-fashion shops, so I assume it's going to end up being made of crafting felt or something.

My first thought was figuring out how to dye an army surplus jacket, but I doubt I'd get the colour I want. I've tried looking elsewhere, but I'm not even sure exactly what I'm looking for, here, but whatever it is I'd love for it to fit well, and to be made of a strong material that will last.

Paramount doesn't even want Prodigy on their own streaming service, I have no idea what they're doing with the franchise...

To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity? in c/[email protected]

Not a software developer, I just do QA on written documents, and being able to have 3-4 windows side by side is really nice. I usually have 1-2 tracking spreadsheets open on the left, and two documents side by side on the right. I use a laptop at work as well, so sometimes I'll leave it's screen on for email and Teams chat so neither interrupts my work.
