I only responded after you called them mentally ill. Your initial response was still a command to fix it, which is still being a jerk, but didn’t really warrant responding since it was pretty obvious that you were kinda trolling. Saying something like, “hey, your use of the thorn is obnoxious and makes it difficult for non-native readers and folks with reading disabilities” probably would have sparked a less adversarial discussion
You said they had a mental illness, which is being an ass and just not appropriate. Your replacement was not with established replacements though. You chose numbers that correspond to letters randomly. If you had done some l33t it would have correlated a bit better.
I get it, it is annoying to a lot of people. That being said, engaging and coming up with some salient points would have been a better course instead of going straight to being aggressive. People might not have been so keen to respond if that had been the case
The difference between what you did and what San does are pretty obvious. The thorn is an established character with a sound that has been associated with it for hundreds of years. Yes it is no longer used, but it is not a garbled mess of random characters like your example. It is a replacement of 2 specific letter with one character that represents the same sound they make. A little annoying? For some folks, yeah. Worthy of being a total ass about it? Absolutely not.
I am honestly blown away at the lack of understanding displayed here.
The shorts are not for onlookers, the shorts are to discourage onlookers from taking non-consensual photos/videos and selling them on the internet. The article even goes on to say it is a huge problem at the festival outside of this ride alone.
No, I’m not, and using therapy speak (even incorrectly) to try to deflect is pretty shitty. You are clearly not going to understand, and at this point it seems willful. I’m done repeating myself
They are saying the same thing you are but with less relevance since it has nothing to do with the issue at hand: people taking non-consensual photos and videos of people’s underwear at a festival and then selling them on on the internet, again without consent.
Because they did not do the thing that is wrong. The person who filmed them did. Blame that person for doing the harm, not the people who did nothing wrong. Saying they should be wearing shorts takes the focus off the perpetrator and puts the burden on the victim. Hence, victim blaming
The issue is recording someone without consent and posting it on the internet for profit, not what the women are wearing. You saying they should have worn something else is blaming the victim for the act of the person that did the actual thing that is wrong. Again, classic victim blaming. And before you say “They should have known that is what the ride does,” yes, hopefully they knew that and consented to riding it with that information. That is still not consent to be recorded without their knowledge and have it be posted on the internet.
That is literally what the article is about and is not a secondary concern. The people on the ride consented to that. They may not even have thought videos of them doing it would end up on the internet.
There is a difference to consenting to the ride and consenting to be recorded and those videos being sold. Like a huge difference.
How is non-consenual recordings that are being used on the internet for profit, again without consent, a secondary concern?
Wow, classic victim blaming. How embarrassing for you
It wasn’t half the country, it was half of the people that voted, and voter turnout was 63.7%. I am always annoyed by this particular argument because the republicans are doing so much to disenfranchise voters. They are wild unpopular, they are also wildly corrupt. Not that dems are better, mind you, but painting half the country as racist fascists is just plain wrong
The same is true in the US. Charging infrastructure has been getting better and better. Not perfect, and China is beating us hands down, but it is 100% doable nowadays. Aging Wheels has several great videos about EV charging on trips.
Like another commenter said, charging at businesses and homes needs to be improved. Apartments should be adding outlets next to parking spots and cities adding them on streets.
I’m in the PNW, so ideal conditions outside the house are uncommon. PETG or ABS seem better suited, but I for sure don’t have the gun expertise
Reverse experience and I am also surprised. Seems like the worst material for almost anything around a gun
I live in the US and it’s not the gun ownership that was weird to me. Beehaw has never really been a hotbed of 2A activity, so seeing something about it was weird. I don’t see an issue with this post, other than maybe wrong community. Also not sure on the rules around gun posting
I might be able to translate based on my experience in 3D printing. I do not have a guns, though, which is what this appears to be about.
Glock is a gun manufacturer. Invader v2 is probably a specific model.
Squirted seems to be a slang term for 3D printed.
PLA is the most common kind of 3D printing material/filament.
A compensator is an attachment for a gun that I believe reduces recoil, but don’t quote me on that.
Lade I think is a typo and they meant made.
The image is of said 3D printed attachment on the business end of a pistol, presumably the aforementioned Glock Invader v2.
Definitely seems out of place on Beehaw.
I often do because they are the only person I’ve seen use and I don’t interact with them much. Not to mention non-native readers and people with difficulty reading. I get the intent behind it, but at this point it seems like throwing a wrench into a tornado.
