Yea, I’m from Germany. I don’t remember exactly, but it was probably like 9th or 10th grade. 12th was graduation. And you gotta learn all the Integral stuff and e functions etc. after derivatives. Do you do all that in one year?

Every time someone complains about Inflation being to high, I immediately believe the failed 9th grade Math and don’t know what derivatives are.

It would probably be pretty effective on men too, tho XD

Buddy Zionist means believing Israel should be a state.

If you ask the four Jews who don’t believe that, of course they support Palestine.

And of course its the evil US pulling all the strings again. Why do some people base all their politics on “America Bad”?

I don’t like that theory. Democrats are on the spectrum of left and right. But if you are antidemocratic you are a whole different thing. And that way the communists and Nazis are the same. Its not really a horseshoe, just a separate bubble of extremists.

Edit: Democrats as in people who believe in democracy, not the party members.

Mostly just a personal explanation for why anyone cares. There a a lot of wars going on, many of them with more casualties. But for some reason this gets all the discourse.

Also I think the history is mostly irrelevant, in the sense that like .01% of people talking about it actually know it. In terms of why they are fighting it is somewhat relevant, but we should go too far back for justifications, only explanations. And for a solution, both sides need to look at the present and ignore history.

I mean, yes. Jordan shot down some of the Iranian drones that were headed for Israel. I think some states are more behind the scenes, because the population doesn’t like Jews, but the “monarchs” kinda see the writing on the wall. I mean Israel is a good ally to have in terms of military and economy.

People like taking sides, because it fits into any narrative.

You have Jews vs Muslims, White(not really) vs Brown, Western values vs Middle Eastern.

The progressives love Palestine because they are brown, Muslim and anti West/US and some because anti White.

The Nazis love Palestine because they are anti Jew. (although some Progressives seem pretty antisemitic nowadays too.)

The Conservatives love Israel because they are fighting Muslims and the middle east.

Moderates side more with Israel because the values align more than the theocratic Muslim ones and Israel is a good door into middle eastern affairs. But that requires Americans to think about stuff outside of the US, that’s not black and white, so there are not a lot.

The thing is, most of these categories aren’t actually that black and white.

Israel has taken in a lot of Arab Jews who fled persecution in their home countries. They are also allied with Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Jordan and probably more. So the “white” part is not true.

The religions are mostly true, although there are Muslim-majority countries allied with Israel, so its not as clear cut. (Iran is kinda using Palestinians as an attack vector against Israel, and Jordan helped with shooting down Iranian drones)

The west vs middle east part is also a bit weird, since Arab nations are on Israel’s side. It’s more of a inter-middle-east conflict and the west is supporting Israels side.

Hi, I’m Mare. I want that, now you know me (:

Nah it’s more like: If she didn’t want people to jerk off thinking about her, she shouldn’t have worn such provocative clothing.

I honestly don’t think we should encourage uploading this many photos as private people, but that’s something else.

You don’t need consent to jerk off to someone’s photos. You do need consent to tell them about it. Creating images is a bit riskier, but if you make sure no one ever sees them, there is no actual harm done.

Interesting (wrong) assumption there buddy.

But why would I care how people think of me? If it influences their actions, we gonna start to have problems, tho.

Oh no, hanging the pictures on your wall is fucked.

The difference is if someone else can reasonably find out. If I tell someone that I think about them/someone else while masturbating, that is sexual harassment. If I have pictures on my wall and guests could see them, that’s sexual harassment.

If I just have an encrypted folder, not a problem.

It’s like the difference between thinking someone is ugly and saying it.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this?

Photoshop has existed for some time now, so creating fake nudes just became easier.

Also why would you care if someone jerks off to a photo you uploaded, regardless of potential nude edits. They can also just imagine you naked.

If you don’t want people to jerk off to your photos, don’t upload any. It happens with and without these apps.

But Instagram selling apps for it is kinda fucked, since it’s very anti-porn, but then sells apps for it (to children).

Interesting.

So it basically enables some more compiler magic. As an embedded guy I’ll stay away from it, since I like my code being translated a bit more directly, but maybe I’ll look into the generated code and see if I can apply some of the ideas for optimizations in the future.

I never looked into this, so I have some questions.

Isn’t the overhead of a new function every time going to slow it down? Like I know that LLVM has special instructions for Haskell-functions to reduce overhead, but there is still more overhead than with a branch, right? And if you don’t use Haskell, the overhead is pretty extensive, pushing all registers on the stack, calling new function, push buffer-overflow protection and eventual return and pop everything again. Plus all the other stuff (kinda language dependent).

I don’t understand what advantage is here, except for stuff where recursive makes sense due to being more dynamic.

Yea, this is a funny thing to think about.

You can jerk off to photos of people, you can imagine some wild things involving other people etc.

If you just create some deepfake porn to masturbate by yourself to, I don’t see a big problem with that.

The only issue I can find is, that due to neglect someone else sees it, or even hears about it.

The problem starts with sharing. Like it would be sexual harassment to tell people who you are masturbating to, especially sharing with the “actors” of your fantasies.

There is however another way this could go:

Everyone can now share nudes with way less risk.

If anyone leaks them, just go: “That’s a deepfake. This is obviously a targeted attack by the heathens of the internet, who are jealous of my pure and upstanding nature. For me only married missionary with lights out.”

I mean, if I take steroids I also “age” faster, or at least my organs do.

I can imagine, that if you “overclock” your body to grow another one, not just muscle but expensive parts like bones, it will probably fast forward your “age”.

I agree, that just masculinity is a bad direction, but it helps narrow down possible directions. It’s just a very easy group you are kinda born into. A lot of people seem to need frameworks to tailor their lives after, as seen by the tate-stans, or kardashian-stans for women.

I agree, that picking traits of several different people and freestyle some of your own is a better way to do it. But that is difficult sometimes and just being told what to do seems to appeal to a large chunk of people.

Kinda like using Linux vs Windows/Mac XD

Your point about loosing at gender like loosing in sports is great. I will definitely think more about the competition aspect sometime. It definitely is a thing with men (see dick-size jokes), idk if it is the same for women, though. There are definetly insults amongst women (slut/bitch) but I’m not sure if it has the same “less of insert gender” connotation.

To address this there probably needs to be a similar shift in gender roles for men, as there was for women. Women now are displaying a lot of traditionally male traits, while vegan men are called gay (derogatorily).

Idk how that shift will happen, but I think the first step would be for everyone to accept anger as an emotion. This would have multiple effects. First the “women are emotional” argument is moot, just look at crime rates. Secondly recognizing it as an emotion removes a lot of the stigma, thereby allowing men to deal with it instead of repressing. And lastly it might remove the “ranking” of emotions. Ranking in the sense, that when a woman cries and a man gets angry in response to something the man is expected to take care of the woman. This usually leads to more repressing.

All in all, I like the queer community, even if I’m mostly straight, just because I don’t have to compete in the gender game. Just not caring gives me a lot of confidence, ironically making me more masculine in traditional settings. XD

I think the traits you list are a bit too abstract. When people list traits they strive for, they are usually derived from yours.

Yours might factually fit the data, but men don’t aim to be disagreeable, they aim to be independent or confident. Same with women and being empathetic and social.

The problem is that everyone needs all those traits. This is where the author fails by saying the groups are pointless.

I think the ratio of how pronounced the traits are is what makes masculinity and femininity.

He does refer to a quote, but I think the “honorary man” wording comes from him. If he quotes it, the rest of the article still proves that he links these trait-groups exclusively to either gender.

Gender performance isn’t something you fake, like in a theater, it’s more something you do like performing in a sport. I should have clarified that.

Also being yourself is not an answer. Young people are struggling with exactly that. Being yourself only works, if you know what yourself is. Gender traits or role models can give great guidelines for what you strive to be. And somewhere along your growth as a person you will find things that work and things that don’t. But you need some “starting direction” because yourself is usually still a kid.

For the trans thing, my wording is a bit unclear.

I meant acting like a (stereotypical) man.

You can say that they are a man as soon as they identify as one. I would also treat people that way. But the goal of most trans people is being recognized as their identified gender, without stating it, also called passing.

If you talk to trans people, there is often a concept of performing gender. This includes fashion and voice, but also mannerisms. To some these mannerisms come naturally, some train them to be more in line with how they view themselves.

I think these mannerisms and to an extend fashion are things that young men are also looking to modify in order to pass as men.

The obvious difference being that trans men switch gender, while cis men just go from boys to men.
