guns are much easier to aim and use. technically a bow is quieter, but guns can be made to be fairly quiet and are generally much less bulky than bows. generally speaking, guns are point and click. bows are dependent on how you hold the bow, how you hold the arrow, and the form with which you release the arrow (letting the bow move the right way and amount is involved). on top of that even the quietest configuration of a gun will have more power per size than a bow because gunpowder is very energy dense and the barrel of a gun is a great way of focusing that energy into a projectile.

the off days are fine, the net result is more what matters.

I’d recommend sweet peppers and dried fruit (i like apricots) as snacks for fiber. still tastes great, is healthy, and will help with ‘regularity’, if needed.

i’d combine fat and protein into one and go to a brazillian steakhouse.

That’s kinda what it expects actually, because for the majority of human evolution we didn’t have guaranteed meals at regular(ish) times like we do now and what we did have would vary wildly in nutritional value. there should be no issues except the… aftermath of certain meals.

regular computers were useless except for basic addition and multiplication for a long time, and now we have the internet. quantum computers, when they are ready, will be capable of doing calculations much faster than it’s even physically possible for normal computers to. just because it isn’t ready yet doesn’t mean it will never be useful. your take is shortsighted and ignorant of how developing new stuff works.

how can a thing that has existed for years be impossible?

in some people it is a racism thing, but generally it’s just a generalisation done either to ask a genuine question about a group or to facilitate a joke. while they may not always be true, these generalisations often are genuinely a thing that a group tends to do more than other groups.

the cultures that were around when abrahamic religions (christianity, judaism, islam, and all offshoots whether considered separate or not) were the patriarchal (men in charge) and misogynystic (prejudice against women). this was adopted into their religion, which in turn influenced the future of their culture and any cultures it took hold in. large islamic and christian states such as the ottoman empire, the (later) roman empire, and the catholic empire i mean church spread this to pretty much all of europe and the middle east. colonialism spread this influence to the americas and part of africa. this large influence, along with trade, also affected religions in places that were not affected as much, such as asia and the parts of africa they didn’t colonise. this resulted in pretty much all of the non-asian world having a abrahamic religion as their biggest one, which caused the various african, pre-catholic european, and pre-colonial american religions to be either eradicated or forgotten. it also prevented the prominent asian religions (which were already well-established at that point, and did the same thing as the previous point to the areas they were in) from spreading much further.

as it’s relevant to the topic, I feel like I should mention that I am a christian. I don’t think anything I said here was biased, but if i missed something important please let me know so i don’t accidentally misrepresent other religions.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone idk about GOG but in my experience any games through steam just work unless they have some shitty anticheat

@ryujin470@fedia.io

@shalafi@lemmy.world I was joking too

@ryujin470@fedia.io @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz

no idea what you’re talking about

you get really high latency

@ryujin470@fedia.io here’s a brief list, in no particular order and based pretty much entirely on my own opinions and experience.

1. you have to learn a little bit about what happens behind the scenes sometimes. for example, if you don’t know what distro packages are or what flatpak is (or the reasons behind each of them, honestly) then installing apps kinda sucks at first.

2. you can end up installing a package thinking it is the official one, when in fact it is some variety of third-party. generally this doesn’t really hurt anything but it can (look up fedora flatpak).

3. sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because none of the people who want them know how to code

4. sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because of politics (in-project politics, not what you probably thought at first)

5. it can be hard to figure out if something is good or if the people reccomending it are just trying to help a new user find something easy and, since they don’t actually use it and haven’t for a while, don’t know that it kind of sucks now (I’m thinking of ubuntu here but it happens with a lot of stuff, distro or otherwise)

6. all the damn tribalism

7. drivers are hell on most distros

8. app availabilty on non-.deb systems

9. some apps refuse to look native (gtk apps on kde, qt apps on gnome, anything made by a mac user for some reason, every browser fighting tooth and nail to default to windows titlebar icons)

10. all the damn tribalism

that depends entirely on what they’re doing. if it’s illegal then whatever the law says to. otherwise, there’s nothing you really can do other than try to ensure people won’t get caught up in whatever they’re doing.

for example, flat earthers are harmful to society because they push an anti-science narrative that makes people reject reality in favor of whatever they want to believe. However, stopping them from saying things would be a violation of their right to free speech (which must be upheld even then because otherwise people could simply label any idea they don’t like as harmful and suppress it, leading directly to a dictatorship), so instead we try to make sure people know that the earth is not flat and why.

in much the same way, someone taking advantage of someone else (say a guy leveraging a girl’s trauma to make her not leave him, without actually violating the law) often can’t be effectively governed without introducing something that could be used to take people’s rights away in the name of protection. because of this, we have to try and make sure that people don’t fall for it instead.

because the people that are taking advantage of people won’t stop, so you need to make the people being taken advantage of less vulnerable.

also they don’t care that much

they mistakenly believe that the cigarette butts will biodegrade fast enough to not be an issue.

5 or 6 dollars, depending on where you’re shopping. my parents have chickens though so I grab a dozen when I’m home sometimes.

Based on the fact that he did it repeatedly, I think it was at least an intentional gesture. I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that it may have been intended some other way as opposed to a Nazi salute, but my personal opinion is that it resembled a Nazi salute on purpose. Theoretically autism could have been a factor, but I doubt it in this case. We aren’t quite at the point you mention at the end there yet, but we are rapidly approaching such a point and you should be wary and do your own research about what’s going on so you can be well-informed.
