According to Game Theory you have to retaliate once if someone crosses a line.
You need to make it clear that that type of behavior is not acceptable while simultaneously not going too far. Or else you will become a doormat.
In the case of the hockey player, 1 punch is enough. More than 1 punch would cross a line.
Lmao that sounds horrible. Only getting one point wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
When I introduce people to the game I always play a trial run with them that we can interrupt once everyone understands the game and then start fresh. Early placement of your settlements and roads can make a big difference (like you wouldn’t take number 2 and 12 as your starting numbers).
I also try to not dominate if I play with inexperienced people. I am just happy to play and as long as everyone else also like it, and that means I will get to play more and they will gain experience. When/if they are ready I will challenge then for real.
It’s so sad that Monopoly of all games became the number one household boardgame.
In my opinion Catan should be the game every family owns. The trading and negotiation aspect of Catan and the balance of the game itself makes you feel like you are always in control of your own situation. You have never truly lost until the game is over. In Monopoly you will see pretty early who will win and who will lose.
Any amputation is too many. Whatever can be done to decrease the risks should be done. There’s no excuse to not have maximum safety for your workers. These days we have lots of options for protection available to use.
For example, there exists saws that will stop once it comes in to contact with flesh.

This is why I love Arch. It comes with nothing installed and everything available!
At least in Sweden we used to have important societal functions controlled by government but since I was born more and more has been privatized and a lot of it has not been for the better.
The privatization of public transport and our rail roads being one great example. They used to be in great shape and great pricing. Today that is not the case any more.
What exactly do you think socialism is?
The Nordic countries has had socialism since at least the second world war and we’re doing pretty well here compared to the “worlds best country in the world”.
It wasn’t long after the news of Omarchy funding hit media that NetworkChuck started shilling for it. I am no longer a subscriber
Yeah and I am completely against total surveillance as well. But we need some solution to catch these predators.
The main problem with the internet compared to sending mail is that everyone can be exposed to what is available online. Like for example on ZeroNet, on some chan-board I randomly visited, there were some csam that I got exposed to and it was not by choice…
I now had csam on my computer and I was now also helping distribute it since I had seen it. (Yay peer to peer internet). In the end I decided to deleted the ZeroNet program off of my computer and never come back.
I am not advocating for total surveillance or restrictions of rights but we need some solution to a real problem. If it’s a technical solution or a societal solution I can not say.
So their solution is to hide the csam for the masses and let the pedos run wild in the dark? What about human trafficking?
As much as I think that freedom and free speech are super important, I also think that some things should not be freely allowed.
So it’s exactly like ZeroNet then? I listened to the talk about FreeNet but I didn’t hear much about how moderation is supposed to work. Somehow there needs to be a way to remove content.
I am running qwen 3.5 locally using llama.cpp on 8gb of VRAM and 16 gigs of RAM. It works well enough with a 4B to 9B parameter model along with quantization and MTP. More optimizations are on the way with turboquant and possibly other tech.
It’s just there to assist me, not do all the work, so I am happy as long as I can self host it.
I can’t say how well my specs would work in a professional setting but for personal use a MacBook should be sufficient in my opinion.
Why would context even matter? A genocide is a genocide no matter the context. It can NEVER be justified.
I have had similar discussions with a right-wing conspiracy theorist (friend of my dad) that also used to justify genocide. I do think and hope that our conversation has led to some positive change in his views. He used to get super triggered when I called what is happening is Palestine a genocide but today I think he accepts it. Or at least he no longer denies it completely. I have stood my ground and kept challenging whatever he has said.
Don’t give up on the people around you! Take the discussion, challenge their views. Call out any attempt to justify genocide. You don’t need to argue with these people about facts, history or whatever. Just a call out of any attempt to justify genocide is enough. Don’t let them keep spreading their hate unchallenged. Violence and hate can never win.
Intolerance for intolerance is needed in a tolerant society and in my opinion punching that person in the face was not too far. That guy needs to learn to not behave like that towards women.
He got swift justice and maybe he will think twice before he does that again.
I don’t think violence was the only soultion here. In the best case an adult would have heard what he said, banned him for that game, and calmly explained to him why that is wrong to do and he would improve himself. But from experience with kids behaving like that (depending on the age, young kids might listen) he wouldn’t care.
I am not strictly against violence, I am however strictly against murdering people.
