The sad hilariousness of this really comes into play when you look at the compromises of the opposite three points that OP suggested. If I try to do the same style of justification explanations you gave as to why those would be uncompromisable:
Immigration: people have a right to... Jobs? (Firmly debunked that immigrants are "taking American jobs"). People have a right to not have to see non-Americans in "their" country?
Culture war: people have a right to... Ignore racism? People have a right to be as ignorant as they please? People have a right to be saved from others confirming their sexual identity and feeling peer pressure to do the same?
Trump gets to be president: people have a right to... Fascist leadership if they willingly elect it? People deserve the "best president ever"?
It's absurd that these are political issues if you take a half a step back and examine the 6 points in isolation. 3 of them are concerned with individuals making their own choices or the safety of humanity as a whole. 3 of them are about nationalism or controlling information and education, basically the definition of "putting myself and my beliefs above the rights of others". How the hell did we even get into a situation where this is what we are choosing between? Or rather, a situation where roughly half our country actually thinks this is a choice and not just blatantly obvious based on basic morality.
I'm going to hazard a guess that if you live in a country where medical debt does not exist, you have socialized healthcare.
Motivation is fleeting. Discipline is a trained skill.
Whatever thing you wish you had motivation for, make a schedule for yourself and start doing it. Pair it with something you like ("I run each morning and I get my morning coffee after I finish my run") and stick to it.
You were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that "regular users" (who don't know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?
EDIT: Stick a "normal" user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don't know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.
I think you're missing that the AI said "The XTX is great, the XT is not worth it: choose the XT".
$20k?
Damn dude, all my friends getting married are spending a minimum of $50k. $15k gets you the venue for the night without anything else included or factored in (food, music, fucking chairs or tables or lights, etc)
Weddings are a predatory business.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, and I preface this by saying I do not fully understand the ins and outs of game development, though I am a software engineer (just not a game dev).
OSRS has made some absolutely amazing improvements in the last couple years. Almost every single update has hit perfectly with nothing but minor errors or complaints. New expansions and regions, new quests, new raid, weapon and damage rebalances, new bosses, new community events and special game modes, new updates to their clients both mobile and desktop, and most importantly a significantly better bot-busting system over the last few months.
This shit isn't cheap. That's a LOT of parallel systems and work, and OSRS continues to have 0 micro transactions outside of membership. True, RS3 and its cesspool of mtx helps fund OSRS, but I don't know how far that goes.
I'm OK with OSRS costing $2 more per month if it means that this current cadence of content of QOL updates marches on. Jagex has been absolutely nailing it and I'm very happy with them, and that's worth money to me.
Holy shit dude. Sorry about the rape. Like, for real. I hope you're doing ok.
If you're a dude and your older female boss forces you to have sex with her under threat of losing your job, everyone just says "that's awesome what's the problem?".
I'm a pretty built dude and my coworkers bring it up constantly. Like my appearance is a regular topic of conversation. It's not unflattering or rude but if it were a woman they were talking about everyone would think it was super weird to have, for example, the CEO commenting on some woman's appearance all the time, even to say something positive.
I'm about 30. I have friends my age with young (toddler) daughters. They've had the police called on them walking with their own child. I've had the police called on me watching their daughter for them (these are friends I've had for 12 years, I'm basically her uncle).
Men are assumed to be predators if they are near children.
People are saying no to Brother in this thread but at the end of the day it just works super well.

Dude cops get fired for assault in one town and hired in the next town over.
Always felt like that Eragon series could have been good. Too bad they never made a movie for it. Never once. I'm sure it would have been solid if they had. But they didn't.
In general? Old ass pacman at a bowling alley when I was like 5 or 6.
Personal game that I actually spent time with? Pokemon Red on the original, very very old Gameboy. Like the grey one, before the gameboy color.
That is so cool. Things like this make me realize how much I miss school. Like, actually miss some of the learning and studying aspects. If only grad school in the USA didn't cost a small fortune, I'd love to continue education for purposes like this.
Thanks for sharing!
This is fascinating. I have no doubt you had to debate this a lot and are already aware of some of the shortcomings of the system you created, but in general I really like this idea. Antagonistic Resignation is especially great.
Basically game-theory everything because it's always safe to assume that there will eventually be a bad actor and that bad actor will extort loopholes found.
Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.
Cannot edit Syncthing config file if my life depended on it.
I'm trying to set up Syncthing on Fedora Server OS (40). I followed the docs, the systemd service is up and running. Ports are open in the firewall, that's all good.
I've found in many, many, many Google searches that in order to access the WebUI via a local network machine (which is the only way I can) you need to update the config in order to allow this - changing the web GUI port from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0. I found a config file and made that change. I have done every combination of stopping the service, restarting the service, updating the config, and restarting the daemon. I have even restarted the entire server. Every single time the server starts, the god damned logs say the web GUI is available via 127.0.0.1:8384. I cannot get it to open to the local network. I cannot find any other config files. I don't know how else to do this. If anyone has any advice, I would be very much obliged.
Syncing local server with seedbox
I torrent to a seedbox, and said seedbox has great access tools and you can install plenty of useful applications like Resilio Sync, Syncthing, etc.
My local server is running Fedora Server OS. I'd like to get an automated 1-way sync up and running, but I'm having a lot of trouble. I was using Syncthing in the past, but it's really not meant for one way syncs and caused some issues. I've been trying to set up Resilio Sync, but on Linux I cannot figure out how to get access to the web UI. Resilio's own documentation is frustratingly obtuse - it's great for setting up the service under systemd but then basically has nothing about how to actually get webui access from another machine on the local network, excrot for a reference to a command that doesn't actually exist.
If anyone either 1) knows how to set up Resilio Sync on a Linux machine such that I can hit the web UI from another machine on my local network or 2) had a better way to set up 1-way sync between my seedbox and my local server, I would love to learn!
