  • My religious beliefs? I don’t have any. Nor have i stated anything about certain people being superior over anyone else.

    You’re right, the f35 has not been performing strikes against Eastern nations directly. That doesn’t mean it has never been tested. They’re sold to various countries in Europe and each and every nation does test their capabilities with their own systems. Each of their neighbours take every oppertunity to test their capabilities as well. Everyone has come to the same conclusion. The ram capabilities of the f35 is mighty impressive.

    You’ve displayed your lack of insight into each and every aspect enough as it is.

    And addressing your childish game of name calling isn’t an ad hominem attack. But it is funny you mention that, seeing how you unprovoked, resort to personal attacks. The comment-chain is there to read for everyone. You’re the only one between us making personal attacks.



  • Ah yes. Everything that is inconvenient for your arguments is a conspiracy. Must be very convenient.

    The F35 does try to do a lot of things. You can argue effectiveness of many of them. But what it DOES do well, is performing as a stealth strike craft. Credit where credit is due. The ram technology development in the US is impressive and world leading.

    You resort unprovoked to name calling (“yankeestan”), and attack others intellect. It really shows your insecurity the moment something doesn’t go your way.

    You speak of “generations” as if the jets are a console. “They’re making a 6th gen aircraft”. They claim they’re making a 6:th gen aircraft. That claim won’t be proven until they start producing. Until then it’s nothing but speculation and fairy dust.

    Buddy, you’ve not just fallen for propaganda, you’ve taken an express elevator right down the shaft and keep drilling once you arrive.


  • Sources alluding to what exactly? That the F-35 had had problems? Every single jet platform has had problems.

    While the F-35 has problems of its own, its no secret that China is yet to manage to develop anything that can rival or beat their RAM.

    Prototypes are nothing short of speculations and wishful thinking until it starts to hit production.

    And I’m not even a fan of US jets. As a Swede I will admit my bias for our own platforms. But the F-35 does fill a role that our fighters doesn’t. And it does fill that specific role quite well. It’s not an all purpose aircraft.

    taking pause to look around when new things are revealed, which is sensible. doesn’t mean what you think it means.

    I remember the hype about Chinas new submarines. Oh they were gonna be so good and so stealthy. Turns out they didn’t make it far out of the Harbour before sinking.

    So what was that you said about China producing things that “actually work”? Or maybe you excluded their sinking sub in that statement. I must have missed the asterisk




  • Dude, they’re not racists for disagreeing with your reasoning.

    Racism, of various levels, are built upon hundreds of years of mistrust, inequality and misinformation.

    It’s not as simple as just “cmon can’t we all just get along?”. And they are trying to explain this to you. And inform you that it’s a difficult and long path that has to be built slowly and carefully, and each place on earth will have to build it in a way that works for them, because all places experience racism differently.

    Them trying to explain this to you doesn’t make them racists. None of them are saying discrimination is ok. Not a single one.


  • I read your comment. I didn’t downvote.

    I’m using the “you” in the colloquial sense, i see that wasn’t apparent to you. (You as in you the singular individual)

    I understand you are against kernel level anti cheat. That’s ok. That’s an opinion. But your argument that it’s some kind of secret which games have it or not, is not a matter of opinion. It’s verifiable. And It’s just not true. It’s not a secret. You can easily find out if you want to.

    You can make the argument that platforms should make publishers divulge that information on the games page. And I say sure, why not.

    But it always will be your responsibility to make sure you know what you’re installing.

    Unfortunately. It is an armsrace against cheaters. And 1 single cheater can easily ruin the entire experience for hundreds of players. I understand why games might want it. I hope they can find more clever ways of detecting cheats without it.

    As a final word. Lemmy is a big place. It’s utterly ridiculous of you to assume I’m the one who downvoted.


  • People need to take responsibility of their own machines.

    While they might not hold out a sign that says “KERNEL LEVEL ANTI CHEAT”. There is information available to make an informed decision.

    Your cake and fork argument makes no sense at all. The game company isn’t telling you what you can and can’t do with your hardware. But they are telling you what you will be installing. It’s there if you know where to look. And if you don’t know where to look. You have the combined knowledge of the world at your fingertips for guidance.

    I don’t know what you do. But when I buy a cake. I look at the ingredients to see what and how much it contains of various things. If I don’t like what I see, I won’t be buying it. Because I certainly won’t be eating it.

    And I’m also not going to buy a plastic fork to eat it with. See how I made that decision. The cake company didn’t make me buy a certain fork, and the fork company didn’t make me buy a certain cake. I decide.

    It’s ultimately your responsibility to understand what you are installing. Information is available.





  • I do not believe in fate.

    You should stop assuming things because you’re not very accurate with your assumptions.

    Do you want to speculate if the rounds fired are hand loaded or factory made? Maybe this specific batch of rounds had black pepper instead of gunpowder? Maybe the hammer will break just as he’s about to shoot, what are the chances of the executioner having a stroke or an aneurysm? maybe your mom would be your dad if she had balls. And your grandma would be a bike if she had wheels.

    I’m not going to debate elementary school level statistics with you. Option A and C both will give you ~33% chance of survival. But for you specifically. I’d recommend option B, for all of our sake.


  • For instance, in the case of 4/6, one must assume the bullets include 2 sequential empty chambers

    No. One must not assume that. You are trying to make all the assumptions that benefit you. A certain bald spot somewhere. A bias in the mechanism that they know about, somehow it’s also about capitalism bla bla bla. You put a lot of effort into purposefully misunderstanding how simple statistics work.

    And no. If you survive the first pull. You are LESS likely to survive the second. Not more.

    It’s still the same 5/6 chance. But you having to get that chance multiple times in row makes it less likely the longer you go on. And the math will have it so after 6 times. It comes out to about ~33%

    How you feel about it on a philosophical level doesn’t change the reality around you.

    You can choose which ever option you feel more comfortable with. And that’s ok. But it’s not going to change how statistics work.
