so apparently it only applies to companies located in the EU? not operating in the EU, since I'm in the EU and no button

I just cancelled the automatic payment from paypal. Should do the job. If I stop paying, then they can't shove their service down my throat and claim I should pay. That's the plan...

fuck I feel stupid, I saw that page but I thought it was only the .jpeg file.

But unfortunately it does not run under Wine :(

Or whatever the problem is, idk. Thanks anyhow...

1-3 a range? So that means: None, All, AND Abort? But that's contradicting.

I'm using a relative fresh install of manjaro gnome though, I never installed this ivpn package before

true but generally speaking one could say he who makes abundance for us all, deserves more.

We don’t live in a zero sum game though.

Perhaps. I never stated that we are. I was just pointing to a hypothetical world with limited resources, and what then would be most appropriate.

there’s no equivalence here.

So you would give menstrual products to people with a uterus but don't say anything about not giving menstrual products to people without a uterus?

But would you? If you do not, wouldn't that make you treat people unequally, in some sense?

sure, no one is denying that. I was just jumping in on specifics of how that would look like, for example, when giving certain items.

female

thats true, then I was wrong. I would however still very much bet my money on the hypothesis that it is.

this is dumb. Either explain what you mean or don't talk at all

well if you are a reliable source to yourself, I'd say:

Men have more muscle mass than women so they are stronger, particularly in the upper body

And for the other other, the rougher mental, I don't want to play mean or anything, but isn't the burden of proof more on your side? Yes it is certainly possible society molds certain characteristics of men, but that doesn't necessarily mean this particularly trait is - the rougher mental. Don't you agree, right now, in western society, men are less likely to admit their pain?

So for example a physical trauma. Both man and woman get hurt by the same amount, the man would have a higher chance of "shrugging it off" because 2 reason: thicker skin (as you said), and have a rougher mental (or at least want to appear to have), e.g. they want to be seen strong, so they are more inclined to say they are ok

This is the biggest problem. “Intuitive observation” means the evidence is anecdotal,........

I agree, I just wanted to point out that I felt like you shrugged away the example as if there is not even an intuitively observed phenomenon.

BUT back to the point. I may not have proof that women are more sociable, but it's damn plausible from a evolutionary perspective, women care for children -> thus more sociable inclined to children. So what is your response to this and the trait of physical strength of men? These are pretty obvious no? Do you acknowledge this difference to be more pronounced between genders than within one gender?

I’m a woman. I’m more likely to be harmed by a strange man than I am a woman. It’s the safer option for me.

Fair. But still, even if they look just as muscular, men are still generally stronger. Or at least if you if you couldn't judge it clearly because they have clothes on. Say you are solely interested in the one who is stronger, then you would still only choose the man, not the woman. Even if this scenario is niche, it's still possible and this precisely points out the crux of the problem. So in this scenario, can this be called unequality or morally wrong or whatever we started off?

EDIT: So arguments are prohibited in this sub? I just read that. What the hell.

I said bigger, not big.

that's what I meant. You wouldn't give them to whoever not needed them. I called them man, you called them people without uterus. In other words, you don't want to treat all equally.

what about physical strength and the inclination for socialization? These traits vary on both genders, but generally all men are physically strong, all women are physically weak(er); and generally all women have inclination for socialization, all men have less inclination for socialization.

Other traits that largely vary within one gender, probably also largely vary between genders, so these cancel out.

I might be wrong about this last point though, but to just shrug this off as if this is taken completely out of the blue and rarely intuitively observed in day-to-day life, is not fair.

you do have a point in the sense that if we live in a utopia, I think there is good reason to think that it shouldn't matter what choices people make, they all get the same 'reward'/financial outcome/etc.

You said:

If the world has the resources to allow it, then why should one person be punished for chasing their joy while another is rewarded?

Yes okay, but what if there are limited resources? Or a world that needs improvement? Isn't it then better to incentivize people to work hard to make our world of limited resources a world of abundance? If yes, then it means to give those a higher reward at the expense of those who made "other choices".

Are we now living in a world of limited resources / that needs improvement? If yes, then it would probably be justified to take from those who made "other choices"

why don't you give the idea some serious thought instead of weaseling your way out? To guide you more: Your only options are between a man and a woman who look equally muscular and you don't have a lot of time to ask around. It's noisy and you can only ask either one at a time, who do you ask? I'm OBVIOUSLY talking about those scenarios (even if rare...) where the relevant bit comes into play

so if you need help lifting something heavy, do you ask a man or a woman? If you only see a group of strangers.

but obviously there is a bigger difference between men and women, than between men and women themselves. Quite sure that's the relevant bit...

treat them equally? But you probably don't want to give menstrual items to a man

Women shouldn’t be expected to know how to do laundry, cook, or avoid dirty jobs. Men shouldn’t be expected to be tough and “walk off” injury and trauma, etc.

I know I'm walking a fine line, but still, in general, women have certain interests/traits and thus have their own skills/tendencies: care for children, avoid dirty jobs, etc. And men are tougher thus can more easily "walk off" injury and trauma. So when you see a man and a woman in an accident, both relatively little wounded, would it be morally bad to say to the man "you can probably walk it off", and to the woman "do you need more help with that?" ? Because there is just a higher probability of this being the case. This shouldn't obviously taken for granted, but if you don't know them, and the injuries are right in the middle where you kind of expect them to be okay, but are just on the verge of asking/stating anyway, you would say these things and thus distinguish between them based on gender. Is that so bad?

Well to a certain degree I guess. They're never going to be as equal as numbers can. What is even meant by men and women being "equal"? Equality of opportunity?

they are an awesome company though

does involuntary opt-in count?

Besides a better gpu (look out for PCI-e gen difference) I highly recommend a higher refresh rate monitor, e.g. 144 Hz instead of 60 Hz. If you use your pc for gaming, this will make a huge difference in experience.

Also, unless you care about a silent pc or 'cool running' one, I'd wait and see whether you really need to upgrade your PSU when upgrading your GPU, but don't let it exhaust itself

is it just me or is the Boost app for reddit still working...?

im not even mad, that's amazing
