Swastik is a sacred symbol for Hindus and Buddhists. Next you will call us -ists and -phobes.

Getting downvoted for being based. Lemmy is for lemmings it seems. I give up on this platform.

Anger is the mind blanket I will let the anger flow over me I will seize it and shape it to my will And let it blow away like sand.

My version of dune’s thingy :-D

“I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.”

And the most boring life of some random person. Even if you expose all the details either it will be slightly less than cringe or complete banality.

Who would ever want to read posts of some guy who works 9 to 5 job and does nothing weekends? For some 30 years???

Internet people are weird man.

As in Bounty toilet paper?

A bidet would be better.

Retire to some island in the middle of nowhere and build myself an evil villain lair. Once money runs out threaten for 1 Beeeellion dollars. If 300 billion usd isn’t spent then donate the rest to some child cancer hospital or something anonymously post-mortem.

Any other choice would be suboptimal.

No one should force any operating system on you. It is your personal choice and space.

Linux nerds might argue that their Vim/Emacs/Nano workflow is the bestest/fastest/etcetc but none of them will truly wish you to switch without your willingness in the process.

Corporations like Microshit and Duh’Apple do exploit their users and customers.

Consider Louis rossmann and others why Apple suxs.

Author Robert A Heinlein ?

Or an Earth with Harsher winters and Massive Winterstorms followed by Scorching HeatWaves. Only cockaroaches will survive.

Unless you are evolving into roaches, no human being will survive the Earth’s mighty global climate swings.

I told the truth and people downvote the truth. It is sad. Somehow pushing “The Message” absolves people of any responsibility to what they are supporting and doing causing problems.

Don’t you have a Penguin sticker on yours ? It doesnt have to be a Windows logo.

I rest my case when people say:

baseless fear mongering

In xenophobic Japan, a foreigner especially an African is allowed to massacre Japanese people with zero consequences. The same problem will exist if a westerner enters Japan and massacres Japanese citizenry with zero consequence.

It was a very anti-Japanese ( replace Japanese with Jewish or any other ethnic or cultural or minority group ) game centered in Japan. ( Butsu buddha statue is expressly forbidden in Japan from pictorial / digital / non-real-life representations but Ubisoft decided to make a digital 3d model and place it in AC:S) with blatant disrespect and cultural-dissonance.

If it was Yagyu Juubei and Naoe or some similar Japanese main-characters there would be almost no backlash . Edit2: complete rejection as non-immersive and non-Japanese behaviour.

Edit: Listen to gamers and sensible people who actually care for a good Ubisoft game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUu7-i1kMyg

Edit2: Listen to a Japanese perspective to the problems Ubisoft has caused Japan. An entire country offended for greedy corpos and fake DEI messaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYauJy9fJ0

Putin is paranoid and insane.

If he ever pushes the button and the Russian soldier “following orders” all of them will stand trial at the ICC for war-crimes against humanity and the entire-planet earth.

The first nation that attempts at launching nukes success-or-failure will get crushed by the rest of the world.

Nuclear-Mutually-Assured-Total-Destruction is not a joke. It is reality we live in everyday.

Driving manual takes BOTH Theory and Practice.

1. Replay potential scenarios in your head and try to predict how you will react.

2. Re-examine your realtime reactions on the road.

3. Learn both rules of the road and real-life motorists reactions to rules.

4. Safety - Safety - Safety. If it feels unsafe, get off the road safely and wait it out.

Manual driving tips.

Use the emergency-parking-hand-brake for hill-assists.

Practice dual-brake-accelerator press/release.

Practice clutch-release-hold with no brake-accelerator ( fully depressed clutch, quarter-release, half-release, no-clutch … does the vehicle jump forward, at what point does it start creeping forward, what noise is the engine making, how does the gear-stick/shaft feel smooth or vibrating or extremely-stuck, etc etc )

Practice a reliable gear-stick-shift-shaft action. Turn your wrist outward and push horizontal, and up for 1st-gear. Neutral with a downward wrist and wiggle along the central neutral line. Turn wrist upward and firmly push straight forward for 3rd-gear, and tap gear-knob down and wiggle along central neutral line to confirm gear-stick is in the neutral, etc etc.

So by judging how traffic behaves and by establishing clear personal good gear/manual habits, you can improve your reactions.

Look forward of the vehicle for less than 10 meters ( 30 feet ) and drive below 60 kmph ( 40 mph ) if you can’t smoothly handle the manual transmission. Increase by 5 feet look distance as you get more comfortable over several months.

Don’t drive in traffic, park if you feel unsafe without causing problems.

Avoid steep shopping mall parking lots and narrow spaces until you are comfortable handling the manual vehicle.

Add wing mirrors and antenna at the edges of the vehicle corners to help visually identify the area around the vehicle.

Best of Luck and Have Fun once you are good at it. If after 2 years you aren’t getting any results, then manual may not be the best choice for you and you may need to give it up. Automatic transmissions are now making amazing progress and reliability.

No shame driving automatic transmission vehicles.

Any sanitation worker, sewage diver, drain block remover, in most of the third-world countries.

We need city drainages to be repaired, cleaned, maintained, and managed with draconian safety, extremely well-compensated, hazardpay up the wazoo workers comp and complete-healthcare all covered for life. So many workers are just abused for the lifeline work that keep a city’s arteries from getting clogged and flowing smoothly.

I saw how Korean drain-workers do it with high-pressure water jets and incredible efficiency and knowhow talent of their vital job. I wish we didnt have the corruption that prevents this type of training, trained worker, worker pride in the essential labour that they do.

Same goes for recycling and reducing waste. We humans don’t do nearly enough and the Top-20 major corporations that cause 80% of worldwide pollutants go unchecked and unpunished.

Is that Food Reviews- Running on Empty - Report of the Week guy?

So, since this is related to your course and a required part of assignments, get things in writing,

1. Let the Dorm and ISP know that you need an exception due to coursework.

2. It might be in your best interest to temporarily invest in your own internet,I think 5G might have low enough latency to manage the connection.

If all this is for one semester until you move back ? Just get a cheap mini-PC install pfSense or any other firewall/router software to isolate all your devices and Wifi router from the rest of the network. I believe some people have mentioned MAC-spoofing and TTL-reset as ways to bypass detection. And if anyone asks, you can show your written communications and your course requirements.

Always be on the safe side when it comes to dealing with academics and private orgs.

There might be a Dept Counselor or Rep you can discuss about your requirements. Even professors can help with some of these kind of things.
