There are some things that do change. In my case, it says my window manager is sway when it is actually river. So certain things will stop working as expected if it is not maintained. This is different from a game, because as systems change, it doesn’t affect how the game works if the platform it runs on can be emulated. In a sense, the game is still being updated because the emulators required to use it are being updated.

Ok, I’ll bite

1. How has Russia invaded Transnistria? Transnistria was a breakaway region during the collapse of the Soviet union, similar to Gagauzia
2. No one disputes that Chechnya is Russian territory. Russia cannot invade its own territory.
3. Georgian military intended to genocide ethnic minorities. Russia supported the autonomy of said minorities.
4. Crimea was given to Ukraine by Kruschev very recently. It is almost entirely ethnically Russian, and those ethnic Russians voted overwhelmingly to secede during a coup/constitutional crisis as the alternative was staying in a country where there culture and language are banned, or worse become the target of hate crimes from neo-nazi battalions as many cases are well-documented

Might as well block me too while you’re at it

Russia can then ingest Ukraine, continue to seed political distrust in Western countries and then potentially start another war in Europe a few years later.

Holy shit this is the most mapgame-brained comment of all time. You mean Russia will get enough war score to annex Ukrainian territories, wait a few years for aggressive expansion to die down, spend some admin points to press the “sow discontent” button, then war when the casus belli is ready? Like a classic EU4 blob?

Stop gaming and read some books.

I’m not against bloat, I just want it to be MY bloat

Now do another one and make them high-five

This should apply to Windows 10 as well right? How soon will this take affect?

But it excludes asexual people /s

How else can it be interpreted?

Exponential increase that has been slow for decades, but is just now starting to ramp up?

What are the odds Elon would bring it back if pressed?

That is… Mind blowing

Now, see, that’s a straw man argument, because I didn’t say we should behave like school kids, I just used a tangential example involving school kids.

Again, I made no attempt at making an argument, so my statement could not be an ad hominem argument.

When someone made fun of you in school, did you say “well, akshually, that’s ad hominem ☝️🤓”

You don’t understand what ad hominem means. Ad hominem isn’t just when you insult someone. Ad hominem is when you attempt to logically refute a point by using the speaker’s character as a source of evidence.

Ad hominem example:

My opponent argues that 2+2=7. He always got F’s in math, therefore this must be wrong.

No ad hominem, just insulting:

My opponent argues that 2+2=7. We can prove this is wrong by plugging into a calculator. Also, an irrelevant detail, he is stupid and bad at math.

My comment could not have made any logical fallacy because I made no attempt at logic or making an argument. All I intended was an insult. Again, username checks out.

Your username checks out

It’s time for you to quit porn boys

What you are describing is gene therapy, not eugenics. When eugenics was a thing, it was mostly voluntary in liberal countries. Propaganda was used to convince “inferior” people to sterilize themselves, including black people. How is that different than reinforcing the idea that “dysgenic” people are doing the right thing by not having kids?

My genes aren’t unique and my traits don’t need to be passed on

I never said they did. Some people will never have kids and that’s fine. That’s not the issue at hand with eugenics. Eugenics is treating people like chinchillas actually, animals that must be bred and selected for the best traits.

If I could generically engineer myself into someone with no anxiety disorder…

That’s the thing, you can’t. Not synthetically at least. The current gene framework is a house of cards and it will be replaced by a better system of understanding. Look into Denis Noble’s work. Also look into epigenetics. The genes you pass on to your children are not the genes you inherit from your parents, they change, and they are changed by your body in response to your environment for the better. No organism is doomed to the fate of inferior genes, they are naturally mutable. But perhaps your environment and lifestyle is not serving you well, and that may be your real problem.
