Ah yes, the anti weird test. That's how you get all of the autistic people and POCs out of the recruitment pool.

Nobody's born with gender, it develops as you age. All newborns are agender.

Actually, Columbus was 100% certain the earth was round. What he believed is that the earth was significantly smaller than the mathematicians said, and that he'd be able to sail straight to India from Portugal. He was greedy and wanted to establish new trade routes. Most of the governments of Europe said "No, you fucking idiot, the earth is as big as the mathematicians say it is, and you're going to starve to death on your way to India. They would have been right had he not bumped into America by accident. Anyway, that's why native Americans are Indians and why there's such a thing as the west indes.

Resistive stoves are slow because heat has to move from the coils, to the air above the coils, to the glass top, to the pan, to the food.

Gas stoves are fast because heat can move from the flame, to the pan, to the food.

Induction cooktops are the fastest because heat gets to move directly from the pan, to the food.

Induction uses magnetic fields to directly impart energy into the metal of your pan. Magnetic fields move energy at the speed of light. That's faster than gas can move heat. Which means your pan warms up quicker.

Torrenting is a technology where a network of ordinary people share a file in tiny pieces all together. There's no central server, you connect to one, ten, or a hundred other computers who each give you part of the file.

Torrenting only works if people are uploading the file as well as downloading it. Giving a file to others is called seeding, and taking a file from others without giving back is called leeching. Most people are peers, who take the same amount they give. Ideally, everyone would be a peer, but since some people are leeches, we also need seeders.

I'm not familiar with this stremio app, but if it does what I think it does, then it takes from the network without giving back and it can now pretend to be a different client to sneak onto the network. If enough stremio users watch a show, it'll become unavailable to other pirates.

No, I've been in this situation as a victim. My bike was stolen and they said it would take hours to search the CCTV. I told them about binary search, they didn't understand.

I'm not from the USA, dipshit. Police don't solve crimes here either.

Oh, Smurfette is actually interesting. Smurfs are a single-gender species in nature, but Smurfette was created by an evil wizard to inflitrate the smurfs and help the wizard capture them. So the fact that her only personality trait is "girl" is actually diagetically justified and it can lead into some interesting directions. That said, after breaking free from her programming she has the personality traits of guilt for her past actions and appreciating a new family. So there's actually a bare minimum of depth there and tons of room to grow the story and the character in interesting directions, though unfortunately that promise wasn't really explored because... it's the fucking smurfs

Well, you said that the word narcissist is useful because it helps people identify abusive parents. Which would imply you think there's some connection between being an abuser and having NPD. So the fact that you think a mental disorder is responsible for abuse is an example of that systemic, oppressive otherization that we narcissists experience. I was told by a former friend that I don't deserve to live, because narcissists don't have a shred of humanity. Is that not oppressive otherisation to you?

And that zero tolerance policy would include tropes such as hating politics?

Your offer is enticing. I still have concerns. I've heard rumours that hexbear is welcoming to genocide apologia. Are these rumours true?
