It’s by design. We could make it easier, but certain groups benefit from making it difficult.

I don’t get confused by any of this. Stop pretending like everyone else is stupid. If you’re looking at the hands of a clock, they aren’t moving right when they’re moving clockwise half of the time. The applies to everything moving around a circle. Left and right are only useful if you’re looking at a specific segment of it. Clockwise is what we use for rotations everywhere else. For example, look at this wiki page that says this: “Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation. A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a center of rotation.” Right is literally never even used in that page, and left is only used once. The terms don’t make sense for rotations. We can make up rules for how they can be considered for rotations, but they fundamentally are not words used to describe rotations. Do you get confused when people say there are more useful words to describe a function?

If I start at the beginning of the arrow and follow it, it’s moving left.

If clockwise was the same thing as right, we wouldn’t use that term.

I think we can all understand how it functions but that doesn’t make it “correct.” It’s spinning around a circle. Exactly half of its moving right as the other half moves left. That’s why we have the terms clockwise and counter-clockwise. If left and right were actually reasonable for something spinning in a circle this wouldn’t exist.

Yeah, but once you get one quarter of a rotation through your dot is now moving left.

This has always annoyed me too. I know why it works, but it’s clockwise and counter-(or anti-)clockwise. If you were turning from the bottom, left and right are mixed up. Maybe it’s just too hard to come up with a phrase using those terms?

I didn’t say rich, but I’m sure you’re not struggling to survive. You didn’t contradict it, so…

When the election is actually between two people, one of those two are going to be elected. One of them will amplify things, the other will not. I know which one I’d want if I’m a Palestinian. Luckily for you, you aren’t a Palestinian and you’re perfectly willing to sacraficed them so you can tell everyone else that your morals are so good and your hands are “clean.” It’s really convenient how easy it is, and I’m happy for you that you found this loophole. Meanwhile I have to sit in my recognition that people are suffering and I am trying to do what I can.

Just a warning, Windows doesn’t always play nice when installed on the same drive as Linux. If you have two drives, try installing them on different ones. If not, there’s a risk that a Windows update can mess some things up. Usually it’s fine, just I’ve had issues with it and so have others.

Anyway, Linux is really easy now. I would recommend something with KDE, like the Fedora KDE spin as an example. KDE is very familiar to Windows users, though very customizable if you want too. It should be a very easy transition, as long as you go in not expecting it to be identical to Windows. You have to meet it where it is, which does require relearning a few things.

If you have questions feel free to ask. There’s also plenty of other users on Lemmy who would be happy to help.

Don’t worry. I know that you were going to sleep fine regardless. You’re likely a decently well off white person. It wasn’t going to bother you no matter what. You aren’t the people who you are sacraficing, and you’re OK with that. That’s fine. Don’t pretend like you’re hands are clean though. You’re a part of this, and you have the power to participate in a meaningful way. You’re choosing not to so you can feign moral superiority though. That’s cool. I see you though.

I’d recommend Morrowind over Skyrim and FONV. It gives you total freedom.

As opposed to FONV, where you can kill most people, unlike what you said, you can kill anyone in Morrowind. FONV always has the fallback of Yes Man. Morrowind you can nearly lock yourself out of progress in the main quest if you kill the wrong people. There is always a way to finish it, but it requires much more from the player and most people probably would never figure it out.

It also gives you a lot more ways to play. There’s no fast travel from the map, but there’s tons of travel options. There are several places through the map that take you from one place to another, but there’s also two spells (that can also be on scrolls) that teleport you to the nearest of a type of structure. There’s mark and recall to mark a place and be able to return there. Then there’s magic like fortifying athletics to jump really far, combined with featherfall or something to land safely, or levitation, or so many other options. You can also use these things on followers, so escorts quests can be accelerated by buffing the NPC. There’s just so much more freedom they started removing after Morrowind.

The world is also designed as a lived in world first seemingly and a video game second. Skyrim especially is designed like an amusement park. Every dungeon is a roller-coaster with a very designed path and no freedom. Morrowind they feel like places, and there are so many ways you can navigate them usually. This can be frustrating, because you can get lost, but it isn’t that bad and feels more interesting than the same thing over and over.

You hopefully won’t be able to sleep at night when things get worse because you refused to get your hands a little dirty doing what’s best.

I don’t like to clean dirty dishes, but it’s got to be done sometimes. I’d rather it just go away, but the alternative is much worse. I recognize that doing nothing doesn’t actually accomplish anything, as nice as that feels. I have to just get over it and get it done before things get much worse.

As an American, I absolutely would choose a Fairphone if it wasn’t only available through that third party distributor.

I think you misread. They want a Linux phone, not a container for android apps on Linux Desktop. Also, yeah there are very limited options to do this, but most of us can’t yet.

First of all, Nazis aren’t defined by killing or hating jews. It’s just an “other” that they define. It doesn’t matter what group they’re part of. For example, Nazis also targeted blacks, gays, trans, and other groups that weren’t part of the in-group. They just need an enemy. The enemy of Fascists is not jews by definition, and jews can be fascist.

Second, Trump has more thoroughly supported the Zionists than Biden. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem, at Israel’s request despite the previous status-quo treating the city as neutral, and refusing to move the embassy there. He has also said Israel should “finish the job.”

Third, I know you’re just trying to troll, but we generally use anti-semetic to refer to anti-jewish. I know the game you were trying to play because I know Arabic is also a semetic language. However, most don’t. Using that term to refer to Arabs/Muslims is misleading. Again, I know this was on purpose but I’m pointing it out for other readers who come across this. I recognize that it was by design and you won’t change, as nice as that would be.

I’m 3:30 in and they’re just rambling. Who makes this kind of content?

I know the story because I’ve seen this video where the developers actually talk about how they did it. Watch it instead.

I just want to comment to say realism is not good graphics, even if that’s all the AAA studios aim for because the executives have no artistic sense. I don’t think that’s what you’re saying, but just looking more “real” doesn’t make it better. Vibrant saturated colors have a utility too, if they’re used well.

The burden of proof is on them. IANAL, but I would advise against trying to prove anything. If you want to argue against something then the burden of proof is on them and they don’t have it, so just shut up and sit quietly and respectfully.

Special emphasis on against. Theirs no “in favor” there. They have the burden of proof and you can’t really defend yourself out of it, only poke holes in their argument (which you almost certainly aren’t going to be able to do if they present any, so mostly just shut the fuck up). Admit the license was expired, because that’s not in question. Don’t admit really anything else that may be important, but be respectful and honest.

Be honest and respectful, but don’t admit more fault than you need to. Yeah, you fucked up driving with an expired license. Admit to that and be humble. The judge is dealing with much worse than that even just that day. If you’re not an ass, the judge may be nice if you’re lucky. However, don’t admit to other things that can’t be proven. They are required to prove that you did something wrong, which obviously the license thing is easy and there isn’t a doubt over. If they try to make you admit it’s intentional or anything else, you don’t have to say anything.

He better look out for that goose!
