thawed_caveman, to nostupidquestions in What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?

I do think it’s a good idea to do what you did and just try it as is, since there’s actually a pretty decent chance that it just works.

However, if it doesn’t work, i would check everything as if i’m building the PC from scratch. Are the parts compatible (good old pcpartpicker is here for that), is the PSU sufficient, is everything plugged in the way the manuals say, etc

thawed_caveman, to usa in Nazi Propagandist Nick Fuentes Caught on Stream Watching Gay Porn

No i always expected conservatives to be secretely gay, but accidentally streaming gay porn is so funny and so demonstrative that it sounds made up. Like it’s unquestionable proof of a common stereotype and the person also looks clumsy in the process, it’s like too good.

thawed_caveman, to usa in Nazi Propagandist Nick Fuentes Caught on Stream Watching Gay Porn

I didn’t believe you, OP. I thought there’s no way, it’s exactly the kind of thing that would be made up. Like we all talk about accidentally streaming porn but it never actually happens.

But holy fuck, there’s images. There’s a screen recording. You can see one of the guys had a pup hood. I am completely shocked.

And yeah, even before he realized what was happening the chat had already come up with an excuse and he went with it. We live in a clown world.

They were talking about being tired and getting away from it all, what you’re describing sounds like the least relaxing activity possible

thawed_caveman, to dataisbeautiful in The market will for sure solve this

This makes complete sense as getting you to pay more for less is what private businesses are all about.

thawed_caveman, to dontyouknowwhoiam in Modding be like…

Yeah i used to moderate and i’ve actually had my own posts and comments reported on my own sub.

Also i got in an argument once and they threatened to report me, not understanding that i had been the main moderator for 8 years.

thawed_caveman, to asklemmy in In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

See the thing is i’m not worldly enough to know what common animals in my country are uncommon in other countries. I mean there’s some mallards here and there, the ones with the green head just like the meme, are those exotic and surprising? Oh, my old hometown has swans. They’re surprisingly aggressive.

What i will say though is that i definitely feel that way about architecture. I quite like the winding medieval back alley leading to a church built in 980 (as in the year), it’s cool; but Americans will have a spiritual experience over it because no building in the US is that old.

thawed_caveman, to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

So let me get this straight: they cut down the forest, plant palm trees, harvest it for i guess a few years, and then… plant the forest back? How does that make sense just on any level?

I mean at least i happen to know it doesn’t make sense on an ecological level as a new groth forest is massively different from an old growth forest, so the new forest is no replacement for the old one.

Also i’m not sure if you understand what an argument from ignorance is? It’s not an ignorant argument, it’s a specific type of logical fallacy. The observation that no extractive industry has proven sustainable is a predictor that they’re unlikely to prove sustainable in the future.

thawed_caveman, to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

I’m gonna have to nuance that: while palm oil is an environmental disaster, it is in fact the most efficient vegetable oil in terms of land area per ton of finished product. This is because the the plant that produces it is incredibly productive, more than sunflowers or rapeseed.

So changing to other vegetable oils would result in more land area being cultivated overall.

thawed_caveman, to world in Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales

Any statement that boils down to “this extractive industry is environmentally sustainable” is massively suspicious. I don’t trust that statement at all. I don’t buy that you can produce palm oil on that scale while respecting nature.

I’m currently using a 2008 hard drive and i really hope it has some life left in it because i haven’t backed up the contents yet

thawed_caveman, (edited ) to asklemmy in Was music really better "back in the days"?

I have all of the Billboard Top 100’s for every year from 1950 to 2009. When i downloaded it i thought that litterally every popular song i’ve heard of would be on there.

Not only are there a lot missing, there’s so so much crap. It turns out bland generic love ballads have sold really well throughout the decades, and genuinely memorable songs are a lot fewer than 100 a year. Not even to mention all the ones that don’t chart. Sure 1957 had Elvis’s Jailhouse Rock, but you know what else it had? Elvis’s Loving You, Elvis’s Love Me, and Jerry Lewis’s “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody”. Cool. Thanks for that, Billboard.

Overall there’s a tremendous survivorhip bias. By definition we only remember the memorable songs, which gives the illusion that everything was memorable.

But also, having grown up in the 2000’s, i really think it’s one of the worst decades for music. So much so that i was into 60’s rock back then, and in the 2010’s i was into the new wave of thrash metal, literally one of the most regressive genres there are. I wasn’t alive for the 80’s, i didn’t like the video games or the movies and didn’t participate in virtually any of the 80’s nostalgia that was trendy at the time, but i did prefer the music to anything my current decade had to offer.

thawed_caveman, to asklemmy in Ladies if all the men of the world disappeared for 24 hours, they are fine they will come back, BUT during those 24 hours what are YOU doing?

Yeah but what percentage of air traffic controllers are women? Those that are will have to coordinate a lot more landings than usual.

thawed_caveman, to nostupidquestions in Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now?

Man i wrote two lines, how is that too much to read

thawed_caveman, to nostupidquestions in Why is there no true Progressive party in America right now?

Same reason there’s no fascist party: the two main parties contain a broader range of the political spectrum than in most countries.

From there the question is does the moderate or radical wing of the party gain more influence. The far-right has won the Republican party years ago while progressives still haven’t gained that much ground in the Democratic party.
