It's not you who decides if something is hate speech or not, and it's not the postal worker either. And something being moral doesn't make it lawful.

Oddly? This is not odd at all.

It's been a while sincce I wrote code, but I'll try to remember. Basically disk size and ram size have no connection. Disk size is for already generated assets (maybe you need to remember how the planes look like, so you create assets for all the planes. Or you want to have textures for the scenery, or for the Lincoln monument, or whatever).

But then you need to load those resources into RAM to access them faster, because if you try to load them directly from disk, it's a lot slower. So some part of those 64GB of RAM is because you are loading some premade assets.

But aside from this, there's also dynamically generated data that you have no way of knowing about at the beginning of the program, so you can't prepare in advance and generate assets for it. Like say for example the player wants to begin flying the plane - he's gonna have some different inputs than any other player. Maybe he drives slower at the beginning, or goes a little to the right when he takes off. Or his destination will be completely different. You now need to remember his velocity, his position on the map, the direction of his flight, his altitude, his plane's weight and who knows what else, I'm not a pilot. All of this, you allocate memory dynamically, based on user changes, and this uses the RAM as well.

Not to mention - you can make a 1kb program that takes 64 GB of RAM. You just ask the operating system for that much memory. You don't even need to fully use it. It'll take you one line of code.

All this to say - nothing odd about the program being smaller than the RAM requirements. It can mean it's not optimized, but it can also mean it has a lot of dynamic calculations that it's doing and a lot of stuff it needs to remember (and in the case of a flight Sim this wouldn't surprise me).

Why the fuck would Hamas build bomb shelters to protect civilians from Israel, when Hamas is literally funded by Israel?

Think there's any way to get Russia to attack Israel instead of Ukraine? We could allow either country to keep any land they earn from the conflict, no questions asked. Only stipulation being, only one country can remain.

And then the victorious party can eat the rest of the world's nukes.

There is no harm in it being there, after all.

See, that's where having the data would be great Because while this is intuitive, it's not confirmed. I think most shows showing suicide also paint the event in a pretty bad light. What if having the disclaimer there makes someone not want to watch the show, and they continue to glorify suicide, whereas maybe if they watched the show and saw someone in pain after their loved one committed suicide, maybe it'd trigger something in them, to know how much this act would hurt others.

I'm not saying this is the case. I would just like to know the numbers, because unless they show a decrease in suicide attempts since the warning/phone number was introduced, then we're really just speculating if it's helping, hurting, or just neutral.

i don't agree with what you say

well, you should tell everyone that you agree so that the public thinks you're associated with me, and then try to change me whenever we're alone

How about you get a fucking therapist and work on your own issues like the rest of us, thx.

A communication platform? Really? You're gonna tell me you find it difficult to communicate if you uninstall Facebook from your fucking PHONE? You know, from the actual communication platform?

Fuck outta here with these shitty door-to-door salesman tactics.
