To be fair, FP2 had like 4 red flags. In FP1 Tsunoda was just behind Verstappen.

I thought the exact opposite. He lost the rear because he didn't close his DRS flap.

It's hardly controversial. Marx envisioned that a revolution would happen when the working class (the majority of any society) becomes class conscious and usher in socialism. That in essence would be a vigilant population.

The issue with popular presentation of Marxism is that what is presented is actually Leninism. Lenin is the one who thought proletariats can't become class conscious (or vigilant) on their own and instead require a vanguard party of revolutionaries to lead the proletariat into communism. How that worked out is evident from the USSR.

OpenMW is literally the recreation of the Gamebryo engine. The goal is to rebuild the engine on modern architecture so you could get the Morrowind experience like it was 20 years ago (with some modern functionality like better draw distance). And you also get the added bonus that some Morrowind mods, like Tamriel Rebuilt are compatible with OpenMW.

You may want a remake but for anyone wanting the OG Morrowind experience OpenMW is probably the best solution.

It was also unpopular within the republican party. Even within MAGA it had only 30% support. It wasn't pushed out of the media to pull undecided or centrists. It was pushed out to not drive away the non-MAGA republicans. You can also compare the October poll to one of the first poll as it shows a clear trend where the more people found out about Project 2025 the less they liked it.

Okay. I looked up the definition of ad hominem and I came to a conclusion, it's still ad hominem. Maybe you should learn what is it and then come back when you've actually got something to say.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Sure.

Sounds like projection on your part.

Ad hominem

Again, no. You can’t address what he said, so you’re making up your own strawman.

Ad hominem

What, specifically, are you accusing him of doing wrong? Sounds like you just don’t like him disagreeing with you.

Ad hominem

OP has explicitly said otherwise, but you’ve already established you feel entitled to tell people their own opinions.

Yes, because OP gave him the benefit of doubt because OP thought he's not a bad actor. But not that it matter because the second part of your one-liner goes back to Ad hominem.

Any actual examples though?

Besides the one I mentioned? Well there's also the one where he's pushed about being critical of Russia's actions he deflects to America being worse.

Uhuh. Still seems like you’re the one arguing in bad faith.

Ad hominem

You have indeed demonstrated that your were arguing in bad faith from the start and that you’re just salty someone disagreed with you.

Ad hominem conclusion.

Where is the substance?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (6 children)

No. He proceeded to say my argument is based on anecdotal evidence (which I had no problem acknowledging because personal experiences are subjective even if they are personal experiences of an entire group of people) only to turn around and present an even more anecdotal evidence than mine (the experience of a single individual) as something factual, and then double down defending it when called out about it being anecdotal evidence. He will dismiss or deflect any kind of argument he doesn't agree with and then present his own arguments that are just as fallible to the reasons he uses to dismiss arguments. He's not in discussions in good faith, he refuses to question his own beliefs and he only pushes his own beliefs onto others.

I'm not salty about talking to him, I simply don't see any value in having a discussion where the only possible outcome is him being right about everything and me being wrong about everything. Just look at the thread here. I'll give you an example. OP clarified who he meant by tankies.

People who

Support modern russia and/or are opposed to Ukraine Deny that the Uyghurs were mistreated by china Think the DRPK is a nice place to live right now.

and his response to that was:

Most Marxists do not uncritically support Russia, though opposition to the Nationalists like Azov in Ukraine is something common on the Left, and believe Russia’s anti-US stance is beneficial for the Global South (see the string of African liberation movements in the past few years).

Translation. We don't fully support Russia but we do support Russia for reasons not at all related to the conflict in question.

Most Marxists can agree that the Uyghur people have been placed in re-education camps, but most do not believe they are being systemically murdered en masse like many people report.

Translation. We can (which doesn't mean you actually do) accept Uyghurs have been mistreated, but we do (no longer can) not accept the systematical mistreatment. (which is the core of the criticism when it comes to the treatment of Uyghurs, not to mention the allegations of torture and sterilization etc. that are also completely glossed over).

Most Marxists think the DPRK is doing surprisingly well for a country under extreme embargoes and was subject to more tons of bombs than the pacific front in World War II, not that it would be preferable to live there than in a highly developed country free from those problems.

Translation. DPRK would be a nice place to live right now if not for those pesky embargoes and bombs (notice not a single criticism at the authoritarian government that is arguably the biggest reason DPRK is not a good place to live at)

And then when OP gives him an inch in good faith he takes the whole inch and pushes OP to "not call people tankies" even though he's exactly the kind of person OP is calling out.

There are more examples of him being disingenuous, deflecting arguments that push him to admit even the slightest of mistakes and then pushing his own agenda on others. No examples of him dismissing valid arguments in this thread but I'm sure people can find those in other threads. And with that I think I've made my point to the people will listen.

Maybe now (for whatever reason) republicans are more in favor of Project 2025 but during the campaign Project 2025 was quickly swept under the rug, because GOP probably knew it was so unpopular it might cost them the election.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 months ago (8 children)

Don't bother with him, I've tagged him as "bad actor" because he might seem reasonable at first glance but if you start pushing him on topics you know better than him it quickly becomes clear he's arguing in bad faith.

In lazyvim a vertical line, with no crossings, is still broken, as it is two pipes separated by the line space height.

My bad. I literally didn't notice that single pixel between the two lines.

No, I’m saying it’s trash because it CANNOT do something basic like drawing a continuous vertical line, because it is hamstrung by using the interface of a typewriter. A git branch is just one readily available example of a situation where something extremely basic like drawing a continuous line would make sense.

So it's trash because it doesn't look like how you want it to look like. Got it.

I can’t cite internal market research that is under NDA. I can point you to basic courses on design and UX, point you to information on concepts like cognitive overload, and point out to you the multiple trillion dollar software companies that got to where they are entirely through paying attention to little UX details that backend nerds previously claimed didn’t matter and were user skill issues.

Sure. I'd say you would understand me not taking the word of someone who has no problem being confidently wrong, but somehow I doubt you'd understand.

Bruh, why would you even try and talk out of your ass like this? I am literally using jsCad and VsCode to do my personal 3d printing modelling, and I literally got my start programming using first VS, then VSCode, to build 3d modelling software for Autodesk. Not sure if you’re aware of this but modern websites have this little thing called WebGL that lets them display these little things called jraphics.

Sorry. I made an invalid assumption because I've never had an actual need for anything like that. But hey, I never said VIM needs to do everything VsCode can. In fact I think I've been pretty open that you should use whatever tool suits the job and and my argument has been that for software development VIM is just as good as vsCode. The fact that you want to keep your jscad inside VS code is your personal preference, you can just as easily keep in the browser and switch between the terminal an browser. I don't get your need to die on the smallest of hills to be right but if that's all you want then go be right. I couldn't care less.
