- Comment on The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child. 3 days ago:
Problem with anxiety is that literally anything can be a trigger, that makes it so complicated (even impossible) to create a world without them.
I don’t want to belittle the point that you are raising, I for myself have more then enough other anxieties to know better then that, and you have my fullest sympathies.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 4 days ago:
The companies could shut down their servers, if they at the same time would release the software needed to run the servers. This would allow the creation of community servers, without any costs or responsibilities for the companies
There was a time when multiplayer games all came with dedicated server binaries.
- Comment on Watching "They Live!" has opened my eyes to how often the movie is referenced, as if I put on the same sunglasses 2 weeks ago:
This is a effect called “Frequency illusion”
The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it
- Comment on There is no Tomorrow, only more Today 4 weeks ago:
And even now or today is relativ and not the same for every possible observer.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 4 weeks ago:
They have killed Final Fantasy with the dreadful FF15 and the bloated FF 7 Remake. FF16 was okish, but very boring.
Final Fantasy is only still alive because of Final Fantasy 14
At least that is my opinion

Is this a quote or reference to anything? Because I don’t get it.

For me “American style coffee” always makes me think about Percolators. Not sure why 🤔

When someone talks about murdering everyone he doesn’t agrees with, then the joke in my eyes ends.
But yes, I think enough words have been said here, everything else is pointless redundancy.

No, I did not say that. And it says a lot that I am called pathetic for taking the position of the voice of reason.
But I will end this communication with you now, have a nice day

That is called disenfranchisement and there are laws for that already.

What I say is that death should always be the last option, not (one of) the first. There is almost always a better alternative available.
And if someone calls for the extinction of people only because they have the wrong beliefs or opinions, because they say the wrong thing or even tell lies, yes I then say that it is wrong.
It was wrong when the Nazis did it, it was wrong when the Soviet Union did it, it was wrong when the Chinese did it in the Cultural revolution, it was wrong in every single case where it ever has happened and it will always be wrong when it will happen again.

You can’t use the tools and methods of the enemy without becoming the enemy. Trying to build a free society by use of oppression and mass murder is something that is doomed to fail and to turn into the thing it has sworn to fight. One day you might by able to comprehend that.

- Freedom of speech (and with that the right to get information from every legal source) is a basic human right
- Your examples are punishments for breaking laws, but censoring what older people can watch, hear or read is a limitation of a basic human right enacted without any prior law breaking.
So your examples are all reactive while censoring older people would be proactive. That is a huge difference.
Oh and saying “stabbing people is bad, now go to time out” or “don’t drink raw milk, you’ll get sick” is not limiting the behavior of people, it is giving them information to change the behavior on their own… or they don’t and then they (and the people around them) have to live with the consequences.
The law the grants freedom of speech exists to protect opinions and texts that some (or even most) people find offending or don’t agree with. A law that only protects speech that everyone agrees with is a law not needed, because nobody will ever fight that words or wants to censor them.
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Oh yes, I am sure that the Nazis back then said the same about cleansing the german nation, the benefits for the Volkskörper outweigh the losses that one generation would have to suffer.

The same can be used to ban alcohol for everyone:
See the trick is this: does “mentally fit” apply, even in the case of otherwise mentally healthy individuals? Addiction can affect anyone and the less tech savvy more so. We have no issues with limiting the physical behavior of the people we care about when they cannot handle it anymore (e.g. we’ll drive grandpa around when he can technically do it, but shouldn’t). While some do kick a fuss about it (for understandable reasons) ultimately, society at large is pretty OK with the whole deal.
Now we have them exposed to substances that are arguably harmful to their health and the health of the people around them (e.g. drug-related crime). At what point does their right to drink alcohol cede to their mental health? For anyone really? We cede rights to do things when they harm ourselves and others often. Why is this different?
So are you ok with a new prohibition

“We can build our utopia, we just have to kill everyone who doesn’t agree with us” doesn’t sound very right in my ears. It sounds like something where one should ask “are we the baddies?”

That is not helping or support, that is enforcing your will on someone else in the disguise of help. Oh and I am sure that they will be fully informed about that cost and its implications.

So what basic rights should we strip them also? The right to vote? I mean, if they are not capable of making valid decisions about what to watch/read/think then they can’t be capable of making valid decisions to vote! And lets remove Freedom of Speech fully, it only gets misused to enable nasty opinions and thoughts that “the correct and good” people don’t like.

There is a huge difference between “influence the behavior of our loved ones” and acting as a dictator who censors where the adult and mentally fit loved ones can get their information from.

Yeah, stripping adult people from some of their basic rights sound like a perfectly fine idea.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 5 weeks ago:
Official Mod support often gets added later, Starfield for example was launched without and it was added later. This is a general trend nowadays, mod support for Baldurs Gate 3 (as an non Bethesda example) was added later too.
I am sure Oblivion Remastered will get mod support, and I would be very surprised if mod support will not also come with Creations integration.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer 1 month ago:
The Bethesda feel is way I buy the games, the Bethesda feel is what makes the games. So I really hope that the Bethesda feel is still there.

Can you name only one, of the many tries, where a socialist state worked?
Oh but i am sure those are all no true scotsman… I mean no true socialist states.

Zola really is great, I have started to work with it and it is so much easier to grasp and to get results with. Thanks a lot for pointing me to Zola!

I will look into that too, thank you for the suggestion

A new homepage for the business of my wife.
I plan to use Hugo for it, I just wish the documentation would be better.
For the homepage I need a few additional “non-blog” pages and from the documentation I am not sure how to do that the best way.
