I'm trying to understand your joke but it's really hard. The first guy says there's still hope people can be nice and the second guy says he's an idiot people will never be nice. Then you come along with your whoosh as if the 2nd guy missed what the 1st guy said. But that's not how it looks to me, I see it as you missed what the 2nd guy said. However you got lots of upvotes so what you say must be true and I just can't see the joke even tho it looks really obvious, just not true or funny.

Getting the food that keeps you alive is a worthless activity? Rather interesting perspective on life you have.

What exactly is an "assault-style" rifle and how does it differ from a normal rifle?

This is actually a big flaw in the paper. The last 10,000 years are an unprecedented period of climate stability, but if you go back before 10,000 years the climate changes radically on a near constant basis. Seriously if you look at temperature graphs for the last 200k years it looks like the wave form of a rock song. How do they explain that? Limiting the study to only the last 2000 years almost comes off as cherry picking.

If the manchu were a chinese dynasty then why did the chinese consider them foreign invaders? Read up on the manchu conquest of the ming dynasty and tell me with straight face that's not the actions of a foreign power conquering it's rival. The CCP spouts out propaganda about it's neighbors actually being chinese as an excuse to take their lands. All the CCP ever does is come up with bullshit excuses for why somebody else's land is actually theirs. Compare a map of ming dynasty china to modern china and tell me where all that extra land came from? But they had actually taken a bunch of land the mongols had conquered, you have to go back to the northern song dynasty to see what "modern" chinese territorial claims should actually be.

Tibet wasn't internationally recognized as independent because the international bodies didn't exist when it was last independent. It's been invaded by multiple countries over the last few hundred years. After the chinese took their country back from the manchu they invaded all their neighbors that the manchu had conquered 300 years before. So no it's not called a civil war.

Bump stocks are machine guns. The human only pulls the trigger once, after that a mechanical system separates the shooter's finger from the trigger at regular intervals to automatically fire the gun. The human does not take any physical action to fire multiple rounds the way they would have to with a semi auto. In fact you could convert any "real" machine gun to a bump stock style trigger disconnect and it would still work exactly the same in terms of putting lots of lead down range. The mental gymnastics people use to try and justify bump stocks is amazing.

I installed 1809 day one and had zero problems and I'm far from the only one. People massively over hype any and all windows problems to the moon. It's to the point now where you have to take the negative news with more salt than the pr spin from microsoft. There is a very vocal group of people that just shit on anything microsoft does no matter what it is. Due to the constant noise they're making you can't believe anything you hear anymore. They have made communications about microsoft almost pointless.

The smart people don't feel like dealing with that mess so look for a job else where.

He wouldn't need to go on a rant if it was common knowledge so yeah I think arcane is the right word.

Your post helped me to understand why more and more people are starting to ignore some of the more arcane grammar rules. It's because they don't actually clarify things they are simply rules for the sake of rules. Thanks for that at least. This is a serious post, not trolling.

Straw man much? When did I say it was flawless.

I'll grant you that in a professional environment forced updates are not good but for a home user I think they're more good than bad. In my experience doing tech support both professionally and privately for friends and family home users didn't install updates the vast majority of times. Some times going years without installing updates. Often I was asked to fix problems that we caused by not having installed those updates. Microsoft gave the average user the benefit of the doubt for 20 years and the majority of them proved to be incapable of managing their own computer.

Those laws are meant for essentially one on one situations. They aren't set up to handle 100k+ node botnets causing wide spread but often indirect harm to potentially millions of people. Individually that one person failing to secure their computer is not a major crime, but large numbers of people doing it is what allows botnets to exist. How exactly an I supposed to file a lawsuit against random joe for not running windows update? The reality is those people never get punished for mismanaging their computers. You say the vendors want it both ways but honestly it kind of looks like the users do as well. They want full control over the computer but when anything goes wrong they always pass the buck to the vendors. It's always their computer until it breaks then it's microsoft's responsibility. Right now we live in a world where nobody is truly responsible for a user's computer.
