I don’t like the suppression of protests in Switzerland. They are allowed if they don’t disturb the city life too much, but if they do they get disbanded by police with illegal brutality and then prosecuted and judged harshly by judges who clearly want to achieve an atmosphere of fear.

So that’s both executive and judicative that take laws in their own hands to silence protests.

And then our political finance laws are just a joke, where it’s easy to donate anonymously to parties or lobby groups to overwhelm political counterparts.

Sure, we’re a direct democracy, but capital and the establishment has found ways to stay in control. Still better than most other countries, but I still find things to complain.

“If only Sanders would get some surgery too… that relief fund for Arkansas could be organized from the money we saved from that female reproductive study.”

Edit: Just saw they didn’t cut that money for the study after all.

Even if he isn’t going to run, why would he not try to sell such hats and t-shirts? It’s money in the bank.

I still don’t think the argument has ripened fully in my head yet. I’m glad I read “The Game” in my 20s and not earlier and that nobody asked about my Insta in highschool. I had the chance to move and leave some social dynamics in the past with several fresh starts.

My great grandma got that one. It allowed her to be a bitch towards the Nazis, as they had to honor her.

Lots of stuff. One has to do with modern feminism that has attempted to redefine the female gender role to become more independent and to adopt some traits that were traditionally masculine. This leaves some men clueless in their own identity, as traditional gender roles are a crutch for both women and men to kinda know their place in society. Now women refuse to fit their traditional role, so men have to redefine themselves too instead of relying on how it’s been done in previous generations.

This cluelessness is frustrating and we’ve seen it pop up in different ways in the last decades. However with a more modern image of a woman manifesting, teens who have to figure out anyway who they are in society are affected more, especially young boys who are welcomed to society with no clear “default instructions” because the old gender role is demonized by a society that has largely accepted the new gender role for women, but is still clueless what men are.

Men may be the provider, but women now must be able to work too. Men could be more emotional and may take caregiver jobs, but women are considered better at them anyway and men are not trusted with kids or not taken seriously as caregivers. This is also not easy on women who now have children and need to care about a career. No wonder we have fewer children. And this also gets confusing for young men who go on dates, when they still need to pay for the bill at dates, their income still plays a role, even though women may make a lot of money (or even more than them) too now.

I hope this doesn’t read as a rant, because I see feminism as a positive development even though I acknowledge the new challenges it provides.

Based on this background young, impressionable boys are sucked in by social media algorithms and confronted with the frustration and backlash of these men like Tate, that promote a return to the old gender roles. Many things he says could be something they said to your great granddad. Social media also leads to content and community bubbles, which are harder to penetrate for alternative ideas, so once you are “red pilled” you won’t get off your track.

Additionally social media is not just content, it also publicizes and quantifies your social status and connections with followers and likes. Social status is hugely important for teens who are looking for their place in society. Even when you move, you don’t have a chance to try again with a new group of mates: you still have your account and your status follows you everywhere. This increases the stakes and leads to more extreme behaviors.

I think that’s all the reasons I can think off. Sorry it’s so long.

Right. Sigterm should always be the first choice as a process may have the chance to handle that signal, free resources, save data etc. Sigkill pulls the rug out under it, which is a last resort, but may be necessary if the process can’t handle sigterm in reasonable time.

So the meme basically shows these two signals, both Windows and different Linux distributions have different ways to when they send each signal and how the user can use them.

Yup, I did this at some fair. you shift your weight to move into different directions. Mostly a core workout, or at least a requirement that you can push your hips into different directions. Not sure it’s an exercise thing or just requires you to have some core strength to manipulate it correctly.

Same, only watched the first two episodes and was just bored and weirded out by the writing. Heard much better about the last of us series.

We will need less insane conservatives on our side to correct this big orange mistake, so let’s not fuck him for the moment.

That’s when you travel back in time to when things were still alright.

It destroys real relationships, replaces them with para social ones, then exploits them for money. It’s not just attention that is monetized. It’s human connection.

Also for porn: onlyfans is successful because you can pay for personalized actions and one can build something appearing like a relationship with the porn star. Before one would just passively watch them.

It’s like influencers entering a train about to crash because they know people can’t look away from a train wreck and thus they’ll get views.

It just doesn’t make logical sense. The most “successful” social media accounts are always the shittiest. You’d think it would completely devalue what a “view” is worth, but I guess eyeballs are eyeballs. Then the whole click farm situation where you just buy engagement. A secondary market that just reminds you of the Ouroboro.

I think I’m missing something because somehow half of tech is funded by it.

We had to do active shooter training when I started my job at an US companyin Europe. That was weird.
