This here. As a European I am extremely worried about what is coming in US politics. I really really hope Biden will make use of this with foolproof consequences.

If people rely on their imaginary friend, we’re so fucked…

For most of history you would be better off if you could kill the next village over.

That is an incredibly stupid take. For most of history, the planet was so vast that people had plenty of room to hunt / farm / whatever. And no, killing other humans is not in our DNA, the only people who feel like that are those with brain damage / development defects.

I am also sick to the core about this aspect of humanity. I feel that we as a species are just about developed enough to understand how a better world would look like, and how people should act, what’s “the right thing to do” - and very much not developed enough to overcome our egoism and narcissism to make it happen, so we do the wrong thing despite knowing better far too often.

whatever you need to tell yourself to not have to self-reflect the bullshit you are spouting…

Words have meaning. And while it is absolutely and fundamentally wrong to impose religious bullshit on the education system (or anyone, really), no, you are moving the goal posts: The ten commandments have nothing to do with Nazis. You arguing against evangelical fundamentalists doing whatever has nothing to do whatsoever with my previous comment,

Also, the winners will interprete who gets to be the axis and who gets to be the allies in history books…

…said the little troll after referring the ssuper sspecial sseckrit translation that only it knows… Yeah, suck it, loser.

Have you considered that maybe I know something you don’t?

Considered briefly, but as you decided not to share the alleged “apartheid” commandments, I dismissed that consideration as unlikely and yourself as a troll.

oh - my apologies, I forgot that on-board graphics have a dedicated chipset. Also, no idea whether on-board sound would have used CPU power back in the late days of soundcards, as the comment I responded to was claiming… might have been a sound chip for that, too…

I suppose I shouldn’t expect any reading comprehension from the OP…

Because the original flavor is very clearly a list of rules made to enable theocratic control and create a religious apartheid.

I am pretty sure you are over-interpreting here. Theocratic control? Kinda, that’s the whole point of all the “holy books” - I mean whaddya expect? But apartheid is separating people based on (perceived) ethnicity - and the ten commandments do not even attempt to separate people based on religion. They are presented as rules for everyone, no distinction made.

I can’t believe that you managed to present such a stupid take, that I, a lifelong atheist who thinks all religion is stupid, has to defend the commandments… facepalm

*I tried to get a piped link, but it wouldn’t play, probably because youtube is blocking API accesses by third parties now?

I seem to recall the integrated sound wasn’t used either, when I had my sound card in - the audio connectors were going directly into the sound card.

And of course there was a short period of time where a sound card wasn’t required, but would actually improve performance by offloading audio processing to your sound card if you had one

we are at this point in history, but for graphics cards :)

I’ll be the first to admit that there is a huge overlap between evangelicals (who pushed this initiative) and racist/fascist pieces of shit - but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism. :p

N00b. True pros accomplish O((n^2)!)

If you know it’s there & how to disengage it, yes. As I said, this was a rental with a dangerous system enabled & no warning. I disengaged it right after this incident.

This is probably the best thing about lane assist on modern cars.

Absolutely not. It’s fucking dangerous. The one time I drove a rental like that, I went through a construction area downtown, and it tried to steer me right into a construction fence when I was following the yellow temporary construction lane markers that were going around the fenced off area.

Beat me to it. Great read :)
