Gloomy

Total War: Warhammer 3. I play it more or less exclusively with a buddy in multiplayer. Been playing since part 1 came out. I love how the addition of magic and flying creatures changed the Total War formula up, the immense size of the map, the mixture of races.

Rimworld with a couple of hundert mods is still at the top, although I tend to let it rest for some months before I pick it up again.

Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 are my favourite RPG games.

Used to play Skyrim with a bassilion mods a LOT and love it for the hours of enjoyment, but after so many years I have possibility played enoth of it… But who knows, might feel the itch and spend 48 hours trying to get every mod to run just to stop playing after one hour again at some point.

Loved the Mass Effect Triology. Only did one playtrough, that was intens and great.

Binding of Isaac is still my go to for a quick 30 minutes gaming session when I feel like it. I realy suck at it too, so after 12 years there’s still a lot left to do.

Wild.

Or, if I might add, in case of anti-vaxxers, IF you get older ;-)

I don’t mean this as an attack at all, but isn’t calling Luigi “Green Mario” a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

And you can get rid of them for a reasonabley low one time payment. I can’t even remember how much it was, I think in the ballpark of 10 €.

Wait, did the banning of the Donald trigger an migration event?? From whom and why??

I joined during the API season. Never looked back.

Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.

Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s

So Jesus called gentiles dogs and only healed the daughter after her mother crawled in the dust? Not very loving, which is what OP pointed out. The two added verses don’t change that.

Also, he admits here that he is there for the lost Sheep of Israel.

I always find it funny how Christians rally around a guy who called them dogs and made it clear he doesn’t care about them, just because a random dude (Paul) had “visions” of Jesus 30 years after his death and from there on pretended that gentiles were part of the ingoup. While contradicting Jesus as well if the church of Jesus actual fucking brother on this very issue.

It’s just wild.

Maybe I’ll figure it out further down the line, put after two weeks I don’t even know what you are talking about right now :-)

Total War Warhammer 3

The problem is that I play it exclusively in Multiplayer and my buddy and me have to start it with the same mods and trough the same mod manager. I get the manager to run using wine or bottles, but I I can’t click the play game button.

So, for now at least, double boot it is.

I came 1.5 years ago when reddit fucked up big. Read about Linux here a lot, but not engaged much with it. But since I can’t make the switch to Windows 11 I tryed out Linux Mint two weeks ago. Haven’t booted into Windows since then, but for one game i have to start using a mod Manager and that won’t run in Linux. Every other game I play, even with mods, works just fine. It’s fucking cool. And it’s so damn nice that I can decide exactly how it looks and feels. So, thanks for that Lemmy.

If they weren’t discriminating they wouldn’t have to fill the quota.

I know about the case, but it is not decided and started on 2011. It not nothing, but it’s easy to dismiss on that base, so I didn’t bring it up.

How do you arrive at the conclusion those numbers have been set arbitrary? I am repeating myself, but the absolutely not arbitrary number here is that NASA has as many non white people then 10 ysads before. So even with DEI Programms they haven’t been able to imply more non whites. In ten 10 years. That’s not arbitrary, it’s quite clear effidence of how a the people making bring decisions are biased towards white employees.

Excuse me? The Audit made to look how much discrimination NASA is doing that states that there had been no progress in lessening (hiring) discrimination in a decade (!) doesn’t show discrimination?

I already have shown proof of systemic discrimination in the hiring process against non whites. Of course a blanked rule is sensible to help mitigate this.

What is the worst that can happen? A company that didn’t discriminate in the first place won’t be affected such a rule besides some paperwork maybe. But since most do (see the study above) it sure would help.

Hey, Welcome :-)

So you don’t see the discrimination against non white people as a problem then?

The study is evidence that there is a systemic disadvantage for non whites when hiring.

Why should this not be the case at NASA? What makes NASA so special that findings, that showed true on a systemic level across six countries don’t apply to it?

If you are interested, NASA did an audit on their progress on including DEIA in 2023.

Despite support from Agency leaders and multiple initiatives to increase diversity, we found NASA has made little progress in increasing the representation of women and minorities in its civilian workforce or leadership ranks. Specifically, over the past decade NASA’s overall workforce demographics have stayed roughly the same, with small increases (1 or 2 percent) for some groups. Demographics have not varied significantly over the same time period at individual NASA Centers, with only two Centers increasing African American representation and other Centers making small gains in Hispanic, Asian American, and women’s representation. We also found NASA has made few gains in the percentages of women and racial and ethnic minorities in its senior levels (General Schedule 14 and 15 positions and NASA’s Efforts to Increase Diversity in Its Workforce RESULTS IN BRIEF Senior Executive Service) over the decade. At the same time, the proportion of veterans NASA hires has declined over the past 10 years, most significantly from 28 percent in 2015 to 13 percent in 2021

I’m glad you asked. Racial discrimination when hiring is a problem and can be observed easily.

For example this meta study, that looked at many experimental studies in 6 different western counties, shows how racial discrimination is a problem when hiring. This has been demonstrated in experimental research by sending two resumes to different workplaces. They show the same level of qualification, but one of them is from a white on one from a person that is not. You do this a lot, like 200 times with 200 employers and see how often both candidates are invited.

And consistently you can see that white people are invites, while racial divergent people are not.

From the meta study this reads like this:

Persistent discrimination in labor markets in North America and Europe has been demonstrated most clearly by field experiments in which investigators use testers or submit applications by mail or over the internet for jobs with clues indicating the race or ethnicity of applicants (5–7). These experiments show that on average in Western countries native Whites receive about 50% more callbacks than similarly qualified non-White applicants (5).*  This does not include significant additional discrimination that occurs after the callback (8).

Imagine beeing this fragile.

I’ll spell it out for you honey. As long as we don’t offer the same privileges white people have to all people, we need a qutoa to level the playing field.

I know that doesn’t fit your ideology. Doesn’t change how it’s true tough.

Bit funny how like two thirds of our conversation happened in your head. What ever. Have a nice one too.

I can think they are his minions who are helping him carry out a coup and still condem death threat against them. Why does everything have to be black and white these days?

Anyhow, you are not obligated to answer me. I’ll read into it or won’t, untill then I just won’t have any opinion on this matter.

Edit: And you can be somebody’s minion (as in tool used to aquire your goals) and still be a human. I don’t see that as mutually exclusive.
