It has come to my attention that this video has had a privacy complaint leveled against it for supposedly revealing personal information between time code 4:00-4:06. A response to this accusation can be found here (https://twitter.com/TheRealTealDeer/s...).

This privacy complaint will be fought under the youtube terms of fair use which state "Examples that would not violate our privacy guidelines include gamer tags, avatar names, and address information in which the individual is not named.

We also take public interest, newsworthiness, and consent into account when determining if content should be removed for a privacy violation."

The key words here are "public interest" and "newsworthiness". Changing the dictionary examples is certainly newsworthy and of public interest as can be seen by the myriad of news sites covering the story below (all of which also link back to the twitter profile that this privacy claim is being leveled against).

Criticizing someone's position using their own standard of evidence and showing a different point of view and adding information to a discussion is not harassment. Listing your sources of information for total transparency so that they can be fact checked by the public domain is not harassment or a privacy violation.

Please do not contact @OmanReagan regarding this video or this issue.

ANZ claims males are inferior - and call that equality?



"While neuroscience shows girls' brains develop ahead of boys, this advantage is not maintained through life, with women too often falling behind."

So the chain of logic is that


a) girls brains develop faster

b) boys catch up


Therefore, despite absolutely no supporting evidence, they decide that that means girls are somehow persecuted?

By what?

Biology? Is Biology.. Patriarchy?!!!

Gasp!


#equalfuture, says the organisation that pays men less than women for the same work.


#equalfuture, says the organisation that sees males as innately inferior to females, and all biological evidence to the contrary as simply proof of their oppression.


This is the equality that #Feminism promises - the equality of Animal Farm, all animals are equal - but some are more equal than others.


This is why I fight Feminism. Look at the comments. No Feminist is critical of the doublethink. Instead, there are men arguing "yes, we are inferior!"


Feminism drives men and boys into the dirt. It pushes men to suicide, it pushes men to turn away from the world and give up on getting anywhere in it.


And it hurts women, too, because despite Feminist doctrine, there are a lot of women who want men in their lives, and are terribly hurt to lose a partner or a husband or a son to suicide.


I look at the Feminists I know who have sons, and I despair. How can you love these boys - while raising them to be victims? Teaching them that they are inferior, that their place is as willing slaves to women, #HeForShe?


And yet Feminists will always make excuses. It feels good to be a Feminist; you are told how superior you are simply for being born.


And when you stand at the funeral, and see the casket lowered, I wonder - what consolation will that be?

Another go at Spring Cleaning (2.05) for Fallout 4


I'll never understand why you can't get rid of the rubbish in standard Fallout 4. Humans do not live with giant piles of junk in their homes - they are dangerous and unpleasant, and easily removed.

And there's brooms everywhere in this game, not to mention a robot with cleaning as an obsession!

So the "Spring Cleaning" mod tries to counter that weirdness - and it used to work - but now it's not effective against all the things it was before. Admittedly, I've only looked at the drive-in settlement so far.





See the bollard is highlighted in yellow? This indicates the mod is at least partially working, as unmodified Fallout doesn't you get rid of them.

It's esp and esm are last in the load order, so they should be overriding anything else - not that i can see anything else that can scrap items.

So why can't I scrap the leaves, grasses and other junk piles now?

I wish there was a clean way to get a list of installed mods etc - as far as I know, screenshotting is the only way, or doing a directory list of the esp/esm files i suppose, but that won't include load order.

Is Feminism a cult?

A response to https://archive.is/ugi8a


"FEMINISM IS A CULT. ok no, it isn’t a cult. cult: “a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.”"


image

https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=definition+cult

noun: cult; plural noun: cults    a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

   "the cult of St. Olaf"

       a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

       "a network of Satan-worshiping cults"

       synonyms: sect, denomination, group, movement, church, persuasion, body, faction

       a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
       "a cult of personality surrounding the leaders"

       synonyms: obsession with, fixation on, mania for, passion for, idolization of,

devotion to, worship of, veneration of

       "the cult of eternal youth in Hollywood"

       a person or thing that is popular or fashionable, especially among a particular section of society.



EVEN BY YOUR OWN CHOSEN DEFINITION, YOU FAIL.




"I have no religious beliefs"

Prove it. Who invented Patriarchy Theory? Is it testable? Falsifiable? Was it treated critically by Feminists?








image

Of course not.“feminism doesn’t worship people“

There’s been lots of cults which didn’t - you don’t know dick about history. Many of them regarded humans as scum. Some advocated celibacy as a way of ending human existence, and saw giving birth to children as damning them.

But Feminism certainly elevates women - always talking about how mundane acts empower them - and demonises men - taking the same act and seeing something sinister when a man does it.

A man and a women share a drink, and screw. The Feminist screams


Raaaape!

Why? Because the woman couldn’t possibly consent - the evil man must be tricking her into the act.

This isn’t a hypothetical - Feminists have gotten this into College Laws, and snuck it into Australian Laws through back doors.

There’s nothing rational about this belief, but it is held to firmly, and dissenters are denounced as heretics and threatened with violence.

“There irony is that true feminism wants men and women to be afforded equal opportunities“

I see - so all the millions of Feminists running about are not ‘true’ Feminists? This reminds me of the many Christians I have met who have told me that all the other Christians are not true Christians.

Because those illusionary Feminists are the one you lot appoint to power. They run organisations like NOW, Ms Magazine, WEL, the Australian Human Rights Commission and so on and so forth. They are the ones speaking at the UN Conventions, they are the ones running political offices and speaking nightly on television.

You are surrounded by them and choose to be blind to them. Tell me again how you have no faith?


Feminists fight directly against equality -
in wages,
treatment by the law

even in recognising men as being human







image

You say anyone who opposes you, opposes equality?

So did others - they turned their country into a graveyard.

The Force is Feminist? (Warning, spoilers!)

A response to https://archive.is/ZFlEC


“can we stop giving all the credit to JJ Abrams ”


The guy in charge? Oh right - it’s the guy part you don’t like. You are happy to make him responsible for all wickedness and no goodness, because you hate men.

“This is the guy who made two Star Trek films (You know. The franchise that’s meant to be built on equality & progressiveness?"

Equality AND progressiveness? Pick one! I don’t recall any time the makers of Star Trek said these shows were about dismantling the Patriarchy, destroying the family, teaching women to be political lesbians or giving a good old “Eve Ensler” to little girls.

" Both women were in their underwear”

Oh! Those sluts! You should demand they wear a hijab! Un-free the nipple!

" one of the women died offscreen a couple scenes later”

Oh no! A WOMAN died! Billions of men, too, but they don’t count. Re-write that movie! We can’t allow a WOMAN to die!

Because Feminism is equality, but some are more equal than others (the ones with vaginas, of course).

"Oh, and that woman was an alien whose hair colour is on record as having been changed to red from the canonically established hair colour of black for her species, because the makeup design guy thought it looked hotter that way, & it was pitched to production on those grounds. Yikes.”

Fucking fuck me to death with a spoon - that is what you are objecting to? I wonder if some amazing technology could alter someone's appearance in the manner you describe?

Something that real human women use routinely in order... to look hotter?!







image

"A scene which the male writers are again on record, as having put in the film because the male writers decided that, since they had a underwear scene ‘to appeal to the male fanbase’"

Reference? None, of course. But I seriously don’t care. Why the fuck do you? Why is appealing to male sexuality bad?


Are you saying we can't even look?




image
Feminism cannot maintain any consistency about it’s message.





image
Either men can look, or we can’t - make up your mind.





image
What you are freaking out about is the idea of male sexuality - it’s fine for these self-proclaimed sluts to show themselves - but you can’t handle the idea we might lust for them.

It makes you anxious - the thought that you can’t control our feelings.
It makes you feel inadequate, too - all those sluts - how dare they look better than you do!


” they need a birth scene. Because all women love babies”
You don’t make a movie with the idea that everyone will love what you are doing. But are you claiming it’s not a good commercial idea to make something appeal to a lot of people?

Because, I grant you, you might well loathe babies - probably because they might be male, but it might be a part of your general loathing of all forms of life - but most women adore them.






image
This is one of the most powerful moments in a human life. If this stirs nothing inside, then it’s no wonder you are a Feminist.


"The total lack of sexualized costumes for women”







image
Either this is good, or this is bad. PICK. ONE.


"Probably not on JJ, so much as him being surrounded by women offering better perspectives & more nuanced reasoning for decisions than ‘Rule of Boob’."






image
You seem awfully obsessed with breasts. Is it because you don’t have any worth looking at - or because all the good looking women won’t let you play with theirs?


”Kathleen Kennedy is on record at pointing to the amount of women who worked on the movie as being integral to the way that women are represented in the film.”

No citation, of course.
So how are they represented? They are boring as fuck.
Compare it to Star Wars 1, where Leia - a very young woman, 16 according to the original script - stands up to Lord Vader.








image

She snarks the instant she sees a Storm Trooper in her cell - despite having just been tortured.







image


She’s witty, but flawed; trying to command people she doesn’t have authority over, for example.






image






image
In fact, the reason she falls for Han is he stands up to her - she’s had people obey her all her life - but he’s not an enemy, like Vader. He thinks differently - and sometimes better than she does.

He’s an equal - which is why the chemistry exists, why it’s memorable, and why they, generations after the first movie, still have that romance going in the latest film.






image






image

She’s not the best pilot that has ever been born despite never having touched a star ship, she can’t fight better than a trained force acolyte with a light sabre, or use telekinesis more effectively.

She’s not a fucking Feminist Mary Sue.






image

You remember her.

Her hairstyle immediately makes an impact - and became a cliche. Her sexuality is appealing to many men and some women - and if you don’t think women go to see movies because of sexy men, well, maybe you don’t know any people outside your toxic Tumblr safe-space.

Women like looking at sexy women - and often want that sexiness for themselves. Which is why Leia’s costumes are immensely popular.

You think people will dress like Rey to future conventions in anywhere near the numbers they did Leia for decades?

No, because Rey is boring.





image
Oh god. She’s still on screen. She’s still on screen. Make it stahhhhhhp!
They even seem to recognise how ridiculously easy everything is for her in the movie.

The movie becomes a parody of itself.



 

 Wow. What a thrilling escape that was.






This isn’t a dig at the actor, btw.





image
Although it does amuse me that, had Rey dressed like the actor dresses irl, Feminists would have fumed about the male gaze and how she was being‘sexualised’.

Going back to the Mary Sue...

She’s a better melee fighter than people who fight for a living - despite starving, despite barely scraping by as a scavenger. (You’d think she would have found a better job with her amazing abilities, but ... wage gap.. Patriarchy... or something)

She picks up a blaster and immediately starts shooting better than troopers who fire them from nearly the moment they are born.

She’s a better pilot than Han Solo - PILOTING HIS OWN DAMNED SHIP - despite having never flown.

She can use the force better than Yoda. With no training whatsoever.
(If you ever want to see an example of a well-written set of characters, including one learning how to use the force, watch this





image

)

Seriously, she should just have farted and blown up the Death Star 3, and queefed and resurrected the dead. Maybe that’s in the sequel.

In fact, the movie would have been better without Rey. We could have had a someone as the centre of the film, someone who was complex - flawed, yes,  but able to grow, with motivations that would involve the audience.


Someone who could bridge the gap between the factions of this civil war, as well as the halves of the Force itself.







image






image






image
And that was the image used to promote the movie, not Ms McAwesome McAwesomeness.






image
Now let’s leap back to Leia...or at least, someone costumed like her.





image
Fucking gorgeous.
And that’s not counting the metal bikini.







image






image
The most iconic costume in movie history. Incredibly popular - WITH WOMEN.





image




Either it’s ok for woman to dress sexy, and for men to desire them - or it isn’t.

Experimenting with Settlement Raiding Mod (warning: minor Spoilers)

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she'll die.



Settlement Raiding Mod by Faceless Wastelander

Sanctuary Hills. As you can see here, trying with ghouls (slow zombies) and raiders on easy worked fine. But the bodies never disappear.




I start an invasion with the Institute on Insane difficulty.

The less advanced synths attacked, the coursers attacked if i said hello, and the rest just followed me like a rabid fan club. Dogmeat knows better than to stick around when stuff like this is going down.


So I figured, hey, maybe I can use a spider to eat the fly! I spawn the Brotherhood of Steel. Vertibird and Giant Robot attacked as expected.. then the rest of them just followed me around as well.

And no, no fighting.

Gorramit!

That's me in the black helmet with a sniper rifle on my back. Also, Jetpack. Don't leave home without it.


Soooo many tourists. Ugh.




I wonder if I can sell them souvenirs?

I walk off. Previously I had fast travelled and waited at other settlements. Today I think I'll see how far they follow me.




Past Red Rocket... I just wish an enemy would lob a grenade at me, to see if they are passive, or will fire back. I'm in powered armour, without the minigun.

Concord... kinda wishing I could skip right to invading the Institute. Surrender, for I have reprogrammed your army against you! Or at least find some bloody super-mutants; their area of effect attacks should trigger a hostile reaction, surely?








It looks like some raiders have spawned in Concord. It's not going to be their day. I want to emphasise, the army beside me is not under my command. They just like my company, I guess.




You can see the original Deathclaw's corpse here. They really need to get the garbage collection better organised.



I'm gonna pick... option 3!

Seriously, they should run. I'm in powered armour. They reference it in dialogue. I have a huge gun, and I'm in powered armour. And they have.. what... improvised pistols? Gadzooks!


Of course, the fan-club only makes it even more hilarious. Like challenging the Chinese army to a duel.

I found Starlight Drive-In. Looks like the fan-club doesn't like the moles. Sweet!





I almost feel sorry for them.








All the way to Corvega now. I really hope these guys aren't set to essential; I haven't seen any bodies yet, but let's face it, most everyone is embarrassingly puny compared to them.



Codsworth can't believe his eyes.



From the perspective of the raiders.



Yes, unnamed raider, I'm sure you are adequately equipped to take them on!

I bumped into some gunners around a tank, which they ignored. The gunners started neutral - then attacked. I'm always disappointed with that aspect of FO4; so many of the NPCs are mindless.

You'd think they'd try to negotiate, maybe even have an option where they can be talked into joining the Minutemen - some gunners are ex-Minutemen and an offer of an amnesty could work.

As terrible as their deeds, there are worse creatures, and maybe under the rule of law, they can become productive citizens instead of dangerous militias. It happens, historically.

I bumped into the alien. They zoned into the cave and shot him down. I wasn't sure they would follow me into dungeons. Neat!

Diamond City. At last!


Diamond's city's finest is under attack from Super-mutants!










I find synth bodies afterwards - at last, the war is taking it's toll. I mourn for ye, oh my brothers of silicon.

Diamond city guards then snark about me not helping.

There's no pleasing some people.
