You have free speech, and have absolutely the right to be religious. But in an atheist majority environment except people to use their free speech right to reply you from an atheist POV.

I hope you’ll make peace with your sister, loving your family is more important than a religious debate

There is no such thing as even and hell. And even if there is. It’sher problem, try already to make the necessary to reach heaven, which often involve not being evil to other. If you think your sister made a mistake tell her, but keep loving her no matter what she answers.

Elites social reproduction is a well studied theme in sociology.

It’s also easy to get. Kids date in their school, this includes private school and elite university. Then people date in their work and hobbies. While online dating allowed some shuffling, you still need to impress a potential partner

How many porn actress and football player earn millions? Pretty sure most of them don’t reach the minimal wage

Good old Bank transfer, and what about cash?

“Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”

My rpg club took the incdusivity road in the 2010, and is now a very inclusive/diverse place. We do have the blue haired enbies that riqht winger hate, and some old players who after acouple of beer starts complaining about RPG becoming woke (An inclusive place means they’re welcome too)

We do have a couple of women only group and a point someone launched a men only table. While we had one of the old player complaining about the women only game, no blue haired enby complained about the men only game. So I have the impression that this whole women only space are OK, men only space aren’t is some bullshit.

Note that, this worked becaused the gender specific game include people identifying as this gender, are the exception, and have a justification. It’s not I don’t like wo•man so I want only a gender but * I want a game exploring masculinity/feminity and therefore will limit the cast gender*

The level of “endogamy” within the rich and powerful is definitely slowing things up. We have strong evidence that these people are all at least acquaintance if not friends. It may not be great for your career to investigate/prosecute top level politicians and billionaires. Actually the positive of the documents release is that people see it.

Then a big factor is that being invited to a party where children have been rape doesn’t prove you partake to the rapes or even have been aware of it.

Finally, money means that you can afford a lawyer slowing things down by writing various requests to the court. Your lawyer will tell you to save your money and do the necessarà/efficient one. But for people with virtually infinite money, a team of lawyer can slow down the things

I get your point about full time school which may require 2-3 years without income (even though in some countries you may keep your unemployment rights). But often, especially for shorter degrees, there is options in evening classes, whith less hours (sometimes at the price of a longer time) some would even give you real degree. Moreover, if unemployed, sometimes a 6 month training can give you the basis to be hired, either in a manual job, or to fix a missing skill on your CV

There’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with,

This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. (I even have a made in China Eastman guitar, for the price of the Taylor everybody has, I got a way better guitar, and that Taylor is damn great)

Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba,it’s great for hobby crafting but China has moved toward high quality products.

To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production

There is relatively big ones including political organization who cover ads, or sue all ads not matching environmental laws, and a whole ad-free social media trend like for example Lemmy

What’s your target audience ? An what’s the goal ?

There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.

For general public, the good-old “Logo” that kids learned programming with in the 70-90’s is still great

for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn’t matter

For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author’s style and pun. A niche book won’t be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.

With the power of “LLM” and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a “specific but uncommon context”. It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won’t be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)

This is why free university and social sciences are important too. It’s great to have electric car and supra conducting magnet, but we also need people to think about classism, history, sexism and all the rest

Horror RPG taught me about how important it is to take the time to play normality, let the player connect with their character, have fun and light roleplay moment, until that moment when horror steps in.

Player dealing with monsters and having blood up to their knee ends up being epic high fantasy but not horror.

On a more norme activity the movie the descent is a great exemple the first half slowly drift from stressful to frightening, then the second half is girl fighting Gollum in the mud, and turn from frightening to comical

There is topic where I can totally understand why someone would remove them if they fear someone knows their username, and there is also tons of people semi-trolling with more or less real stories. But it’s part of the life of a semi anonymous platform

I am sorry for you OP that you have to go through this. I hope that you’re followed by a mental health professional which can help you. 5 month without leaving the house is entering in the hikikomori territory. I wish I could give you relevant advices, but I assume all the simple advise simply won’t work (Just like you can’t just tell someone with a broken leg to keep running)

If you get better and can go out again, what do you wish to do ? Is there a sport/hobby you want to try ? Is it available in your city ? is there a language you want to learn ?

Bass in music. If the bass play right, you don’t hear it, but if they miss or play wrong there is immediately something missing
