Okay, like, I get the meme, but seeing someone kill a large mouse with a baseball bat remains disturbing. There’s a reason we set traps for these things, you know?

Underclocking your CPU like crazy because you don’t want to replace the thermal paste is an insane thing to do, and probably still won’t help, as the thermal paste being gone means there’s nowhere for the heat to go. It’ll just build and build until you hit a spike; you’ll just reach that spike slower. You’re rapidly sacrificing your parts by not just opening it up, cleaning out the dust and replacing the thermal paste, even using some kind of heat-reduction work around.

85 degrees is high but normal for a component that is pushing it, so software solutions, like underclocking, are viable. 100 degrees is “most computers will turn off to protect the components” territory, suggesting something has gone wrong with your cooling solutions and it really needs to be opened up.

But, that’s not the question you asked, just a word of warning I felt compelled to add. Depending on the processor and motherboard, there are BIOS solutions and in-OS solutions. Check your mobo for settings in advanced. If they’re there, they’re there. If you’re using an old Ryzen, (I believe the 1000 series is 8 years old now?) there’s an app called AMD Ryzen Master that lets you tweak CPU speeds and voltages. Realistically Google “[CPU name] underclock” and you’ll find a guide that links you to software, if it is available for your processor. I’ve never heard of a catch-all third party software solution for CPU clocking, the way Afterburner does that for GPU.

Is that a fucking onion I see?

Bring it back. Make them do it over.

What? You mean it was… Projection? Unbelievable. Republicans never do that.

It’s like watching a cheater jump to conclusions about others cheating. It’s easy for them to imagine it’s happening, because it’s what they’d be doing in that situation.

It’s interesting because

The nooticing is coming from inside the house.

SHIT, NOW I AM NOOTICING THINGS. IT’S TOO LATE FOR ME.

Based response tbh.

While you are overreacting to the accident itself, driving is not for everyone. I strongly disagree with driving being a basic skill everyone should have. This is some North American cultural mythos created to help further push the responsibility of building decent public transit off of our lawmakers and governments.

Driving is a challenging thing to do correctly, and a not small number of people have no idea how to do it, but are on the roads anyway. While I believe you should take an accident like that with a growth mindset, the clear truth is you’ve never felt comfortable behind the wheel, and your skill set doesn’t seem to be built for that. If it’s important to you, I suspect you’d be capable of overcoming the unique challenges it presents to you, but it’s not. There are ways to live without being a driver, and things you can provide to others in exchange for them being the drivers in your life, and imo, that is fine.

Don’t quit driving because you had an accident. Decide if being able to drive matters to you, and decide how you want to live.

What the fuck is this slop posing as academic study, lmfao. “arcruacy”? “tinking”? Using a pile of academic language around slop doesn’t make that slop accurate or useful, and the joke that is the writing style shows that this wasn’t reviewed by anyone with a brain cell.

It’s almost like the political spectrum is a false dichotomy that only feeds into the us vs them narrative that is fueling conflicts all over the world.

The left is defined as putting the collective state first, while the right is defined by individualism before all else. The extreme right eventually advocates for leadership and control by the “superior” individuals that rise through that individualism, which is essentially the belief that it’s the strong’s right to rule, regardless of whether you define strength to be wealth, intelligence, social clout or otherwise. The extreme left eventually advocates for the total supremecy of the state, seeing any level of social deviancy as damaging to their collective society. These are tankies: the “states can do no wrong” crowd.

Unfortunately, both binaries of the political spectrum are prone to authoritarianism once you go far enough. It’s almost like the real issue is extreme ideals that leave no room for nuance and understanding.

I used to consider myself extremely radically left, before I stumbled across the absurdity of the Tankies that permeate certain areas of Lemmy. And I mean, as far as Western politics is concerned I am absurdly leftist. Just not that kind of leftist

On the contrary, it’d be rude to expect any other answer. Shoving expectations onto a complete stranger and then judging them for firmly denying you is what’s rude here.

With you in spirit, but they have too much control over too many lives to just be dismissive about.

While I am sure there are real, specific reasons that can be pointed to as “the reason,” the real answer is that you can’t put two narcissists in a room together and tell them they’re on the same team. This always was the only possible outcome.

Weirdly, I know for a fact I’ve upvoted a number of posts today, but my search on this ONLY shows my downvotes?

I definitely down vote more than I upvote, though. It’s habitual to think “that is fucked up and really shouldn’t be here,” but a lot less habitual to hit an up on every mildly neutral to positive comment that, tbh, deserves it. It’s eye opening to have all my downvotes laid out in front of me. Though still weird that the ups I know for certain exist aren’t showing.

It isn’t about what they are. It’s about what’s good for her. I can’t recommend the article enough, tbh. It’s behind a subscription wall, which I can’t ever recommend anyone bypass using popular websites, but I am sure you can get the article none the less.

But regardless, that’s kind of aside the point, isn’t it? Disagree or not, I still feel this qualified as news.

It doesn’t.

I fundamentally disagree. See the piece published by The (British) Times written by Eva Kor after she publicly forgave Oskar Gröning at his trial for his actions in Auschwitz, titled “Why forgiveness is the best revenge of all.” A first hand account of such events is infinitely more newsworthy than the majority of slop published. But it isn’t news because it is, ultimately, an opinion piece on why she believes she is right to forgive him?

Context and nuance matters.

Depends on the article. That could absolutely be a headline for an opinion piece, or a professional interview, etc. Because of the context here, I’m suspicious that the “not news” argument is a dishonest one.

Saw a great article that was critical of the Uyghur labour camps and their relevance to China’s dominance in cheap tech just silently disappear from Worldnews@lemmy.world the other day. I don’t know how to find the modlogs, and I’ve been wondering about that ever since. I expect that kind of shit from the fascist triumvirate instances but I found myself wondering who has their thumb in the .world pie.

0% homelessness in China btw.

Which is like the US declaring homelessness a federal crime, imprisoning everyone who lives on the streets, and calling homelessness a solved problem.
