  • Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight over misogynistic comment

  • I think I understand a bit of what you're saying, in that the woman is reacting to what she experiences as a systematic, societal power imbalance / feels that she lives in an oppressive environment. So, a violent response from her is not viewed in the same way as a violent act from a man towards a woman, which more typically would be assumed to be in a context where he is exercising power/dominance/abusing her.

    Thank you for your well-composed response. This is definitely something I'll keep thinking about.

  • Why?

  • Well it's clear that you think a woman attacking a man is more justifiable than a man attacking a woman.

    If there's some nuance then clearly I'm just too stupid to understand it.

    People talking shit to each other ends in violence all the time but that still doesn't mean violence is the correct response.

  • I don't think I was framing it dishonestly.

    I said that if a woman was saying crass things to a man it would clearly be unacceptable for him to attack her. I think it's also unacceptable when you switch the genders.

    And then the moderators deleted my comment because you guys are fucking dorks.

  • So we're clear, you don't have a problem with women assaulting men?

  • I'm going to double down and say that on a real life test, this would likely represent a typo. In such case, I think you could successfully defend a 25% answer while a 60% answer is just right out the window, straight to jail.

  • Entertaining response but I disagree.

    I'm going to say that unless you're allowed to select more than one answer, the correct answer is 25%. That's either a or d.

    By doing something other than guessing randomly (seeing that 1 in 4 is 25% and that this answer appears twice), you now have a 50% chance of getting the answer correct. However, that doesn't change the premise that 1 in 4 answers is correct. It's still 25%, a or d.

  • I haven't watched much of Linus's stuff, but his behavior in the three Linux challenge videos reminded me of the way Conan O'Brien would act with his staff. It struck me as an off-putting blend of arrogance, entitlement, and impatient senility.

  • I just watched that Linus tech tips video where the guy uninstalls critical system components by accident while trying to install steam.

    First the GUI for the package manager refuses to do it, then apt gives him a warning that he's going to break his system. It even makes him type "Yes, do what I say!" but he's too much of a clown to read the warning messages all over his screen. He even smirks at the camera about how silly it is that he would need to type such a thing before he proceeds to mess everything up.

    People were trying to defend him, saying that the system shouldn't have allowed him to do it or that the warnings should have been flashing and shooting rainbows out of the monitor or that a robot arm should have come out and started honking his clown nose to let him know he was doing something stupid.

  • I think the takeaway here should be that meat heavy diets are worse for the environment than you might realize.

    The takeaway should not be that cars are only barely worse than bikes.
