The MOST anti-immigrant fucking people I know, are immigrants from India...

It's so WILD to see the cognitive dissonance they display.

But I'm not seeing them hurt! Neither are you! You're seeing news reports and things that are spun to make you feel bad. You aren't over there right now witnessing it with your very eyes.

I bet you've never even witnessed real combat death or even so much as a violent car collision.

So again - stop, fucking, putting, words, into, my, mouth.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn't bother me; Because I'm not doing it!

Is not the same as

I don't enjoy hurting people but also don't care when I see them hurt

It's simply not. You're adding the seeing part to the equation. Learn to read. Learn to understand.

I don't fucking watch TV. I don't ingest tiktok, or facebook, or fox, or cnn, or msnbc, or instagram, or much social media at all. I don't see it. I don't care about it. It doesn't show in my feeds. It doesn't affect my life.

And you know what? The same goes for you. There's a million atrocities going on in the world right now; you're ignorant to 99.9999% of them. And you don't want to know about them. Because you'd be so overloaded your head would spin.

The difference between me and you, is that I know that I don't know about them, and I prefer it that way. I don't need to fight for every single cause that passes in front of me.

How about: Signal is better? Though, they recently were caught with some unencrypted shit on the desktop client.

"I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt."

Again -- Not what I said. Re-read it. Stop putting words in my mouth.

You clearly suffer from pathological altruism.

You also are suffering from the dunning-kruger effect when it comes to the belief on how much effect you have on things by shouting words on the internet.

Well then you don't own your home. With that argument, nobody does. Because the government has the ability to take your home from you, then you don't own it.

Ownership has granularity to it. You're failing to see the grey spaces in between, and only seeing black or white.

Most humans cannot enjoy food if they were watching someone starving to death in front of them, let alone knowing that person is dying and they could feed them to save their lives.

Yeah, same for me. But that's NOT what's happening, and you've let your hyper-altruism cloud your judgement. Nothing I do changes anything that happens over there. So why worry about it? Why upend MY life, and put MY life in danger for it? Normal people don't do that. You're a bleeding heart - most people don't care. That's just normal humanity.

And again - with the rape argument...what in living fuck? You think I consider myself responsible for what my government does? HELL fuck no I don't. You have absolutely no effect on their decisions, so why do you think you do? You've used Hyperbole to make your argument seem stronger than it is.

It's simple. Americans have a good life. There's no reason for them to leave their good life, to go fight for a people who have nothing to do with them.

Again - bleeding heart. You're so concerned about shit that has nothing to do with your day-to-day life. Shit is far too stressful for me to deal with, I'm busy enough trying to keep my head above water for some middle class gated community bleeding heart to tell me I should feel bad for something I -- Have no part of, Have no effect on, cannot change, and that doesn't affect my life whatsoever.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn't bother me; Because I'm not doing it! Humanity are a bunch of violent apes, and there is not enough time in anybodies singular life to concern themselves with every fucking atrocity being committed. I'll be more concerned with helping the homeless in my own country, than shit going on half way across the world because a country allowed a terrorist organization to run rampant.

Maybe Hamas shouldn't have attacked Israel? -- why aren't you talking about THOSE lives lost? Why aren't you concerned with the lives THEY have taken? Probably because you've been taken by Iran's online psyop.

But, they could, anything could happen, and then you don't have that library anymore. Physical is the only way to truly own.

That's exactly my point. Steam has allowed me to OWN Half Life longer than I would have been able to with physical media. Those CDs don't last that long. I'm not that careful.

So the balance is "own my own stuff and all the problems that come with keeping it pristine so that it continues to work, taking up space in my house" - or the infinitesimally small chance that STEAM goes belly up. Steam has allowed me to own my games for a lot longer than I could have kept them myself. So the argument of "oh they could go away!" doesn't really hold any water for me. Especially for games with an online component (which is all of them now) -- What's the use of physical media when the game requires some servers that vanished long ago anyways?

Imagine giving your life up for something that doesn't affect you. I get the whole being altruistic part, but with these people it goes too far.

You don't see multi-generational Americans going over there and protesting for this stuff, because they are detached from it. Race doesn't have anything to do with it.

yeah a true pure-blooded American shouldn't give a fuck if a genocide was on half way across the world even if their hard-earned tax was directly paying for the salaries and equipments used in those war crimes, and their country weapons were dropping on refugee tents burning hundrends to death in the most horrific ways.

Yeah. Basically. The US Military is the our largest employer. Arming other nations has benefits for us - We still get to fund our military, we still get to produce weapons, and we aren't risking our own soldiers lives in conflict. Is it inhumane? That's arguable. On a personal/individual level, yes - on a larger scale, it's pretty par for the course. I'd argue that the liberties that Muslim countries strip from women, lgbt, etc is a large enough negative that replacing it with a more tolerant one is a net positive.

It comes pretty close to feature parity in terms of ownership. My kids can play my steam library on their own computers, I can play it on any machine I own, I don't have to pay them any kind of rental fee, and they maintain my software for me.

Only thing I can't do is what...sell my games to someone else? I don't do that anyways.

I mean, if you like horrible driver stability; sure. There's a reason NVidia has like 75% of the market share, and it's simply because they have a better product. Drivers are more stable, everyone develops for CUDA processing, lots of games only support DLSS for frame-gen, all of the GPU accelerated AI stuff is all NVidia centered, etc.

At $700 you could build a pretty decent PC that would last a lot longer (3060 12gb, Ryzen 5 5600, 16gb of DDR4), and build a steam library that you'll have 20 years from now. I've had the same monitor, keyboard and mouse for an easy 10; controllers don't last that long. They're reaching a point where there's less and less of an actual argument for owning one.

Killing of Turkish woman. She clearly cared more about things going on half way across the world. She wasn't in the West Bank for the sake of American lives, that's for sure. Having a citizenship to China doesn't make me Chinese.

It's called an advertisement. Why are you seeing them? Are you just over here rawdogging the internet without uBlock Origin?

For bowden there is a benefit.

There is not. I can empirically prove it to you as well. Half of the 'capricorn' tubing you get from Amazon isn't even genuine - yet everyone there is clamoring on about how it made a difference.

Turns out, that confirmation bias and placebo effect share a lot of overlap. I get it, nobody wants to admit they've been bamboozled. But hey...stay critical of your observations.

Turkish born woman goes to west bank, where a war is currently going on. Gets killed. But sure, let's blame Biden. We can even throw some terms around like "US Citizen" and "American" to make it sound like they were actually loyal to this nation.

You don't really use pressure advance in bowden systems because the bowden system is flexible enough that it actually negates most of the advantages of pressure advance. As the pressure increases, the bowden tube itself stretches lengthwise. This has little or nothing to do with the interior bore of the PTFE tubing. The reason you are increasing it so much is because you're overshooting due to the length of the tubing, not the internal diameter.

We're not comparing Bowden vs Non-Bowden here, regardless. We're comparing generic PTFE bowden, to "Capricorn" bowden anyhow.

So you've managed to argue the completely wrong thing to begin with, AND you were wrong on the thing you argued. Congrats.

The web needs ways to establish and convey trust signals which show that a user is who they say they are

Because it's just a convenient way to track people, confirm they are not bots, so that information can be sifted and sold.

Please continue to forget about that cancer site.

The tubing diameter difference is only fractions of a mm, and now you're talking about a 100mm length along. You don't need to measure it, it's literally in the dimensions and tolerance info of the product.

This is either A: Simply too close to the bed, or B: Your nozzle is wallowed out due to printing glow in the dark filament or carbon fiber, so you're printing a fatter bead of plastic than your slicer thinks you are.

This is the result of your nozzle tearing up the previously laid down plastic and folding it over as it follows the path.
