Don't get me wrong: I'd love to see him tried, convicted, and put in prison. I just don't see any path open for it to happen. Certainly not until 2029. That's the earliest time for it. Does anyone think age and infirmity won't take him, before then? I'm just saying.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
I've never been convinced of this, from a logical perspective. What would suddenly change, just because he's not in office? Congress would suddenly be willing to investigate? Vance and Johnson would be willing to incur the wrath of the MAGA faithful by arresting him? You really think it's likely?
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
They have the money to put him wherever is best for him. This is not a matter of "she's getting rid of him." This is a painful decision, mainly made with his well-being and comfort in mind. People need to sit down, shut up, and be thankful that, yep, they CLEARLY have no experience with this shit.

I mean, she herded him back and forth from one side of the yard to the other, every chance she got. I'm pretty sure he was dumber than a sheep, though, because he never understood that she wanted him to keep going in any direction. He would just drift around, with her cutting him off continually.

My family had a border collie mix, way back in the day. We then got a weird little shi-tzu, mixed with who even knows. The important thing is, he had curly hair, like a sheep. Well, a lamb. He was about the size of a 7-layer burrito. The border collie recognized him as a lamb and herded him.

Further note that I'll be suspicious of any disaster that could be a pretext for military occupation. I don't think we've got earthquake or hurricane machines, but fires, nuclear plant problems, diseases, etc? All potentially deliberate acts that I'll be suspicious of, if they occurred suddenly.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
Note that military intervention in response to crime has basically NEVER been an actual, justified, real thing, at any time in history. The only exceptions are instances where there's already been a natural disaster, a massive fire, a fast-moving and deadly plague, etc. None of these are present.

The sad part is the fact that you're serious. He is no hero. He did the bare minimum, basically made sure he looked like he didn't care, and did a shitty job of presenting his findings. He's a disgrace, a coward, and possibly a collaborator.

THIS IS THE KEY POINT. People are trying to defend him, based on the report itself. He was responsible for doing his WHOLE JOB, which was to present it and advocate for it. What he did was the bare minimum. Not good enough, when the fucking country is on the line.

To be fair, the venn diagram for "rich guy" and "guy employed as a lighthouse keeper" has a pretty slim overlap. If it's a rich guy occupying a lighthouse, it's probably some insufferable youtuber, making content out of the process of converting it into an annoyingly chic residence.

Buhurt is just "smash real hard with sword or club." I'm not saying women can't do that, but it opens them up to stupid comparisons with men doing the same thing. In real HEMA, it's very obvious who is skilled and who is just trying to brute-force the situation, regardless.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
Real HEMA focuses on the equalizing factors of bladed weapons, in a simulated context. Real sword techniques are about timing, distance, footwork, precision, speed, strategy, body mechanics, and situational awareness. Buhurt has nothing to do with any of this.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
I want to add that it's particularly important to make this distinction, in the context of "oh, cool, women are doing this for empowerment" that the article is promoting. Real HEMA is much more rewarding, in this context, in my opinion, as opposed to this buhurt nonsense (cont)

Fair enough. I just want it to be in the context of "he's a lying rapist," as opposed to "OMG, SHE'S A WORTHLESS SLUT, LIKE ALL PROSTITUTES." Whenever the vibe drifts in that direction, I feel a responsibility to speak up. Selectively applying morals differently to "the enemy" is GOP behavior.

It is VERY different, now. We're dealing with Christo-fascists, who openly advocate for revoking women's voting rights. But, of course, even now, as long as the women dress up in the correct, weird-ass uniform, they can go along to get along. Look at Bondi, Noem, Leavitt, etc.

Times changed. Back then, the right was in its pro-yuppie, Gordon-Gekko-worshipping, power lunch era. Chicks could be in business or politics, if they were conservative. Of course, there was still an OCEAN of sexism, under the surface. But it was socially acceptable to vote in a female conservo.

No. Obviously not. This conversation obviously got WAY out of hand. I also may be engaging in some cross-cultural assumptions. On the USA side of the pond, anyone who opens a pop-up shop of any kind IS generally what y'all would call a "posh wanker." Maybe it's not that way on your side.

I almost deleted the previous post, because I felt the word "morals" might be too strong. But, thinking about it, I gotta stick to my guns. Gentrification IS immoral, and pretentious pop-up shops are a symptom of gentrification, therefore they are immoral. It is what it is.

Yeah, but there's a balance between nice things and posh, gentrified, pretentious bullshit. You probably grew up in a gentrified zone, and it screwed up your perceptions and morals. You can't see what I'm seeing, here, so don't bother thinking too much harder about it.

Also, I disagree with your premise that the Xbox controller was designed to "replace WASD" or any other keyboard standards. Gamepads largely evolved on their own track, almost completely ignoring any keyboard + mouse conventions.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
I have a couple of those gamepads that have extra buttons on the back, and I just never use the extra ones. You either have to keep readjusting your grip to press them (which defeats the "easy access" purpose) or use some kind of grip where you're sorta almost pressing them, all the time.
Ukobach (@uk0bach.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't think there is a solution that can provide more finger usage, without just reinventing the keyboard, and losing the key characteristics of a controller. At the end of the day, you need some of your fingers to be physically holding the object, against the force of gravity. That's a limit.
