What are you talking about? I haven't paid a cent on the pirate bay ever. It's not streaming, I'll grant you that but my 8TB FreeNAS does a fine job of making it available FOR streaming so I don't see the issue.
People were getting triggered because she had an almost steampunk prosthetic limb.
Her whole look was so not WW2 that it made her looked crammed down poeple's throats. And I understand people objecting to that.
I think only a minority of people would cry over a woman portrayed historically accurately. There were enough female heroes in that time.
What I also notice is how people seem to be looking down on non-combat roles. As if beind a medic on the front was any easier or less important than holding a rifle.
I would like to add that there being memes also is kinda strange since the memeing community is getting more and more chauvinistic in response to the SJW pressure on society.
And STILL these women receive laudation from that camp. Let that sink in for a moment...
" And having the voice of women screeching and screaming as they kill and die in every online game was a psychological idiocy beyond words."
No shit!
Men are hardcoded to want to protect females. SJWs think that's a bad thing because this is triggered more the more feminine a female is. The war against femininity and beauty is very openly fought among those people...
And then you want to sell a game that is primarily directed at males (because females aren't interested in war... even the suffragettes were fighting for a right to vote for females without being under threat of a draft... women are not dumb enough to want to go to war) and fill it up with deus ex machina female characters who can do all that men can even though they have way less muscle mass that is way less efficient than men's.
Meanwhile, you get to hear them dying around you, which triggers very different feelings of failure in men than hearing males perish.
Who could have foreseen that THAT would not sell?!
The worst and most blatant sign of total incompetence is the way they portrayed females in wars. There have been many examples of tried and true female war heroes. There was no need to embellish (and implying that women need embellishment to have a place in the scenario).
I don't know about the US, but god damn it, the French Resistance was full of women, wasn't it? What about Russian sharpshooters and nightwitches?
It is not hard to find examples of capable women in war. They are so easy to find, in fact, that there are memes about them! To not work with that is either an unrealistic amount of stupidity or done on purpose.
Well let's just say I'm so glad my mothertongue is almost German because learning that would have been a bitch.
Then there's French that has, I feel, no fewer exceptions than English.
The other latin languages aren't much better. Wanna talk about Scandinavian languages?
Also I don't think anyone would really consider a language mastered without being able to write and read. So basically any language using a different alphabet must be way tougher to learn right?
AFAIK Esperanto uses the same alphabet as English.
I'll grant you that I may have had a knack for English when I learnt it but that kinda feels arrogant.
So let me get this straight... you're miffed that people didn't take YOUR feelings into account while you don't care for the feelings of others on this matter whom you'd be disturbing.
No matter how good the intentions of that hypothetical party may be in the beginning, with all the power it would hold, it would soon be invaded by power hungry sociopaths.
Having more than one party mitigates that to a degree although having only two feels like a band-aid slapped on the crack in a concrete bridge pillar.
I don't think I've ever consciously noted this being a bullet point on any pro/con breakdown for PV.
IMO, batteries aren't meant to decrease emissions. They are a tool towards autarky or optimizing income by putting power into the network when it's most advantageous.
Or even as a backup if your network isn't very stable some days.
But reducing emissions really has never been something I think I ever heard as a serious argument.
Does he make more money because he can slap some organic label on it or does he actually have better yields? Or is it more a matter of saving money due toless work (no tilling) or not having to pay for chemicals?
One reason why Monsanto might not be happy about this is that farmers won't have a need to buy new seeds every year.
Also if you can selectively modify the genes, what keeps you from adapting next year's crops in one fell swoop instead of waiting for nature to evolution the vulnerability out over ten centuries? If we get good at this, we might actually outperform nature by several orders of magnitude.
There are certainly downsides to this, some of which nobody even thinks of right now. However, in the long run I'm not sure we'll have much of a choice. Population probably will level out at 11 billion at some point but feeding that many people isn't a piece of cake by any means.
I think Westworld is well made but I'm loathe to watch on as drama is just not my cup of tea. If there was a bit of humor sprinkled in... but as it stands, I just like the protagonists and see only suffering in the future and I just don't need that in my life.
Isn't Whatsapp tied to your mobile phone number? At least in Switzerland, you'll need to have ID to even use prepaid. There is no such thing as an anonymous telephone number in Switzerland.
Is that different in other countries? Are there ways to use Whatsapp without a phone? Because otherwise I find it highly questionable to share illegal content on there. What stops any agency from infiltrating the group and collect phone numbers?
Slashdot Mirror
...them teachers switched to something like WhatsApp.
Battlefield V was hyped as a realistic portrayal of historic events and you put Mortal Kombat on the table? Are you mentally damaged?
That's as interesting as it's irrelevant.
EA isn't trying to sell Battlefield V to ancient Samurai.
The target audience has neither the militaristic training nor the social conditioning for this to apply.
Of course it can be done. Who would dispute that? But it's not relevant for the young men playing the game.

You give them responsibility. It works for me ;).
So who do you think insures the government?
Exactly, yellow vests. They are essentially keying their own cars.
How much money DO thwy make after purchase?
If it's 200 on a 1200 appliance, I'll gladly give yoi 1500 to just give me a dumb panel and fuck off.
That very much hinges on whether you believe them to be separate entities.
I personally do. Separate entities with a symbiotic relationship.

I'll grant you that I may have had a knack for English when I learnt it but that kinda feels arrogant.
But I'd say they really have to deliver on that promise of being competitive... does that include raytracing?
Now I have no reference on the performance DMC demands but "way above 60 fps" doesn't sound THAT impressive.
Also if shadow.tech keeps its promises, I'm not sure I'm gonna build a gaming rig anytime soon anyway.
English hard to learn? You must be joking, right?
So let me get this straight... you're miffed that people didn't take YOUR feelings into account while you don't care for the feelings of others on this matter whom you'd be disturbing.
Yeah, I have a hard time feeling sorry for you.
No matter how good the intentions of that hypothetical party may be in the beginning, with all the power it would hold, it would soon be invaded by power hungry sociopaths.

Whatever gave you that particular delusion? ;)

Use a deposit. Every can costs you 50 cents more which you'll get back upon return.
Works like a charm in other countries.
We Swiss are even dumb enough to recycle without deposits, silly us.
And if worse comes to worst, use aluminum cans! Beverages taste better from those anyhow...

Better by what metric?
Isn't Whatsapp tied to your mobile phone number? At least in Switzerland, you'll need to have ID to even use prepaid. There is no such thing as an anonymous telephone number in Switzerland.
Is that different in other countries? Are there ways to use Whatsapp without a phone? Because otherwise I find it highly questionable to share illegal content on there. What stops any agency from infiltrating the group and collect phone numbers?
I think that was his point.
