Most Christian countries are not really Christian and filled with people who are Agnostic, Atheist, or just “spiritual” (Which basically means nothing/agnostic)

I even meet “Christians” that know literally nothing about the Bible; I found out recently that my grandmother who is always talking about God, is literally illiterate and knows maybe the story of the Virgin Mary and that’s it.

Also, the 100% God and 100% Man thing is a debate that has churches quarreling to this day.

From a logical point of view it’s nonsensical and from a faith point of view it’s up to interpretation depending on what the stance of your denomination is–which in my experience, most people dont even know to which they belong.

I literally never mentioned those specific states, I just cited an actual example that happened where the Supreme Court refused to rule on a dispute between States because they knew that the federal government couldn’t enforce anything

Also it sounds like you are implying I’m with those states that I’m judging and saying can’t be trusted…which I’m not and is the whole point of my comment, that you cant trust those states.

And if you arent implying that then I’m failing to see what the point of your reply is. I’m citing a specific point in history, it’s not even subjective it’s just a thing that happened.

Im referring to the early days of the union where the federal government was too weak to stop things like that

CGPGrey’s video on Statue of Liberty talks a bit about it

I used to be big on States’ Rights because I thought it made more sense for people to make rules more specific to them but then I realized the only reason politicians push that is to do whack shit like overturn abortion and now some are even arguing we should go back to when women couldn’t work. If I was the president and I cut back rules so States could decide I guarantee laws like that would be passed within a week.

The more I read about it the more im glad that the federal government is strong enough to stop States from extorting or attacking each other (like how New York would basically bully New Jersey). I just hate that every election seems to be between morally bankrupt nepo-babies and it’s been going on so long that the corruption would literally need a dictator to pull an El Salvador to fix

Tbf, I very rarely type with perfect form like that. Maybe for short bursts when I’m doing an assignment but in like every other case I keep my right hand on the mouse and do any hot keys with just my left hand. Granted thats mainly a gaming thing but also in like GIMP or blender

Tbf we should always aim for slight inflation. You want to incentivize people to use their money on things so it circulates, and it being slightly depreciating is the best way to do that.

If it was the best option long term to just stuff money into a mattress and sit on it for a decade then that has it’s own problems

Fight for an Independent California.

Was in the Marines before, hated it and left to go to school. Would never think about joining back up. However I actually unironically would be willing to fight for California to be its own country, America is already on decline and society is fucked in general.

Aside from that maybe I’d expatriate and go to my mother’s home country in Central America and try to improve things there.

I get it and agree mostly. I definitely think socioeconomic classes are more of a defining/dividing line than a heritage you happen to share with someone.

Only <1% of any humans DNA differs, but I think a better point is that everyone is atleast 50th cousins or something (Granted if you share a heritage its much closer)

But also if you told someone like my girlfriend that race isn’t real she’d probably sock you. She’s experienced it and its very real to her.

When we started dating I would actually try to talk about how I don’t understand why she would side with someone solely because their skin was dark like hers and it would be a point of contention. She would literally associate with someone that objectively did something she thinks is reprehensible because of literally only that. She grew up very wealthy and never hurt anyone, guy on the news was someone in and out of prison who literally fired first on the guy that revived him with narcan–but they happen to have the same color of skin.

As a boy other Latinos would literally antagonize me for “acting white” because I would rather read during recess than play football/soccer–because being educated is associated with being white; we were the children of poor families with gangbangers as role models so we must obviously be destined for different things /s

I feel like a lot of racial issues are cultural and self-perpetuating. But my girlfriend in particular was the only black woman in a white conservative town, people would open doors for her friends and close it when it came to her, If I visit her hometown she doesn’t want to be out for long, etc. So I get why it is very important to her.

I get how it can be shocking that someone doesn’t know as much as you about something that seems like common knowledge to you,

But tbh I’m like pretty certain the firmware is mostly the same, and it can’t be that different if Switch 1 games can be upgraded to Switch 2 games. I doubt they went back and ported every single game to a new system if it wasn’t easy to do so. So tbh I don’t think its going to be that long for emulators to come out.

Not sure how accurate my memory of the modern world map would be for that far back but depending on “where I spawned in” I would try and migrate to like ideal farmland or somewhere I know is good to build up.

If I was near Iberia I’d probably try for Cordoba… Western America, I’d go for San Francisco or anywhere near Lake Tulare… I’m sure there’s more than I am remembering right now.

I wouldn’t have to worry about organized religion having immense crusades and could carve out a little kingdom.

Try to make a modest “fortress” out of ashlar blocks or anything I can make primitively. Try to find a way to record as much “hints” towards technological progress for my descendants to follow.

Fertilizer, Germs, Animal Husbandry, Public Works (Dams), Canning, Gunpowder (not idea of gun just explosives, but they’ll probably weaponize it), steam power, oil, electricity, refrigeratation, concept of computers.

It’ll probably just have to be drawings but if I can find a cool gal and learn her language enough to roll with it then it’ll just have to be that, No point in writing it in English.

If I can actually get to the point of building a steam/wobbler engine that would probably be my life goal.

Throw in ancient technologies that are cool like Yakchals(?) and what not to actually survive to that point.

Get a little area where I would actually want to live.

Carve out mountains to channel water to more areas, basically accelerate what Egypt is doing to spread the green lush from the Nile River.

Make ideal spots for some cities, get a lot of gold out of the ground to prepare to buy the land

Pour all the foundations of the buildings, build lines of rails for public transit and trains. Make sewer system and areas to transport water

Just make it super easier for people to come and build/live there, and if I own it all I can avoid big corporations coming and pushing out growing businesses

The driver that appears is “snd_hda_intel”, the intel part is apparently just what they decided to name it, doesn’t matter that the board is centered around an AMD Chip

I’ve disabled the other two devices I have “Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio” and “Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller”

The former is for Audio through my GPU(?)'s HDMI which i didn’t even know was a thing

The latter I thought might be the one I needed but apparently its for the hdmi of the board itself

I will try your advice with alsamixer and see if I can get anything out of it

Update: Alsamixer I flipped everything off of mute, some things were muted, I also disabled auto-mute but nothing changed.

Audio from youtube tries to play out to the right card but I have no idea what’s wrong. I’m back to my hdajackretask idea and messing with that

Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn’t work for my new pc build.

I’ve contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

I’ve posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

I’ve posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

I’ve gone so into the weeds I’m trying to remap pins because I’m assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it’s been weeks and I can’t solve it.

Again, I’d never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.

I used MariaDB for school projects, what exactly is wrong with it? Asking because I’m just unaware

This is a very nice and effective blurb, I’m saving this comment for future use

There’s no awards/medals here but take this: 🥇

One Way Heroics+

Semi-Rogue-like RPG, flee away from the darkness on the leftside of the screen, try and defeat demonlord and save the world. (Multiple endings)

One of my favorite games ever, guy made his own engine.

It does have design flaws, don’t get me wrong. But this is is really novel and has enough content to get somewhat deep into it.

Eventually you start seeing the same things but for essentially a one man team it’s really impressive.

I understand but I literally just left Nogales to visit my stepfather and during my week there there were so many campaign ads. The only thing he told me about them is that candidates from all positions from Mayor to Governor and up wind up dead all the time.

Apparently it’s really common and my father had a similar reaction to the top comment. Yes it’s scary but it’s something that the government needs to take precautions for

I use it as daily driver. I have a JSAUX dock with ssd for home, I unplug and bring it with me to university and use it with a bluetooth folding keyboard and house I got for <50$.

It does everything I need. I’m a CS Major and “Boxes” works well for any sandbox environment I need.

If you’re super technical, some thing in SteamOS can limit you, like how system files are on their own partition that gets wiped every update. But it’s perfectly doable

Female outfits are typically more interesting, like in GTA maybe it’s not as bad but I’m tired of every endgame male armor in rpgs of MMOs being a guy in a giant mountain of metal. It doesn’t look “badass” it looks stupid and bland. (On the flip side bikini armor is also stupid)

That and female voices are just more… appealing? Idk the science behind it but there’s a reason AI assistants are like 95% female voices.

One Way Heroics (Plus)

Made by a guy in Japan. Uses a custom engine and has really intricate rpg elements, super cool and I’m a huge fan. Basically you’re constantly moving right because a black fog is consuming the world and if you aren’t fast enough then it’ll consume you too. Kind of plays like a Roguelike, but runs can have the shorter objectives, or the really long ones.

Granted it’s not perfect:

• It was made by one guy so after a certain amount of time you kinda see most things, needs mods (which doesn’t exist) or more content.
• You only get one stat per level-up, and if you get like “carryweight” five times in a row, then you kinda just got low-rolled and are weak-af
• You can’t actually determine what biomes you end up in so sometimes you just get volcano 3 times in a row and it kinda sucks, it would be nice to see biomes up ahead and chart a course
• There’s some “degen weeb” dialogue that’s funny about once and then kinda weird. (Characters simp hard af for you after your run if you get SSS rank in a category they rate you in, theres some “prefixes” that give alternate dialogue to npcs, so if you get a “Naughty” Dosey/Frida/Mila then all her dialogue is degenerate af for the rest of the run)

But I still love the game, and one of my first projects I plan on is making a hexagonal-grid version of the engine that would enable the above (gameplay) issues to be fixed, something might come out of it tbh.
