Leaving anything run unchecked has downsides. If "has any downsides" is good enough to exclude it, then you can't do anything ever.

Ok, yeah, a third party with cleaned info would help. :)

I appreciate the thought. However i do think that it has ultimately made germany as a whole a better country, so i don't entirely agree. Then again i also don't wholly disagree. There are plenty situations and cases where children absolutely should not suffer for parents' sins. I think it must be considered in each case, and especially so if the children derived benefits from the sins.

I just wrote:

> It is not acceptable in the sense of "ok, we can stop now."

That means: It is not supposed to work well in the long run.

Mithaldu··on YouTube Hiring for Some Positions Excluded White and Asian Males, Lawsuit Says
It is not acceptable in the sense of "ok, we can stop now."

It is however an improvement, unless you think it is fair to discriminate one group massively and one not at all.

Mithaldu··on YouTube Hiring for Some Positions Excluded White and Asian Males, Lawsuit Says
You seem to be happy to ignore that the larger context is this:

Non-white people are discriminated against because society as a whole accuses their parents as a whole of being degenerates.

> If your father was a violent degenerate and arsonist, would you comfortable paying society back for a portion of his crimes?

I'm a german. Ask me about the amount of paying back my entire life has consisted of.

You're also veering very off-topic from the fact that op made the claim "more discrimination is being proposed as the solution" to which i replied by disagreeing that it is more, and claim it is the same amount of discrimination, just moved around.

Mithaldu··on YouTube Hiring for Some Positions Excluded White and Asian Males, Lawsuit Says
That's an ideal to strive for, but if society as a whole seems hellbent to keep punishing people who have neither themselves nor had their grandparents do anything wrong, then shifting it to people whose grandparents did can be a better solution than doing nothing.

It's not simply more discrimination though. It rebalances the existing discrimination.

Mithaldu··on To solve problems caused by sitting, learn to squat (2017)
That's useful info, thank you. :)

I'm actually surprised by the legs part since i would've thought proper pose is legs down.

Mithaldu··on To solve problems caused by sitting, learn to squat (2017)
Similar. I do powerlifting, i have a great squat and regularly use it for relaxing or doing things at home in a comfortable pose.

My back still has issues from sitting all day to program.

Mithaldu··on What I Learned Burning $14k on YouTube Ads for Candy Japan
Cane grows in the tropical areas, so other countries more often use sugar beets.
Mithaldu··on What I Learned Burning $14k on YouTube Ads for Candy Japan
The Dagashi point is very good. I was a candyjapan subscriber for a while, and their box contents usually felt like they were high quality products, or at least above average. Never "cheap".

I've even used some of them as gifts for other people based on their quality and taste matches.

Mithaldu··on What I Learned Burning $14k on YouTube Ads for Candy Japan
> So why Candy Japan rather than another one?

That is a very good question. I don't know if there are comparison review sites, or how reliable they would be.

> I dread the prospect of opening it up and getting a box of sea weed

It sounds like you're not the type of adventurous person who'd care for this in the first place? Your mind went, in a leap of fear, from "tastes of sea weed" to "box of sea weed", which are wildly different concepts.

> different traditions in making candy for a different pallet will change the flavor profile

I'm a german and i've tasted, well, most german candies. And a bunch of american stuff when i visited (lol candy corn). The cane sugar stuff is wildly different even to my palate.

I understand you mainly asked the questions to provide feedback, but as a subscriber i can give you some info that might help you decide:

A lot of the sweets are made with cane sugar, which tastes distinctly different from the typical american fare. Beyond that they also have some taste combinations that you usually don't encounter in the us. Savoury snacks with sea weed tastes are pretty nice.

> Thanks for trading in stereotypes and rendering judgements on that basis.

I can understand why you'd feel that way, but uh, next time keep that stuff for when the person you're responding to isn't asking, but only making claims. I gave you the views i had been given (and it's not like i can go personally to verify) so you'd have something to contrast on while answering my question, instead of having nothing.

And, thanks for the details. They are educational.

Another european here: Everytime i've heard any american talk about country clubs they were utterly awful places full of awful and ignorant people role-playing what they believe to be high status life in a very boring manner.

Why did your family care about not getting in there?

Mithaldu··on US Senator demands review of loot box policies, citing potential harm
What you're missing is that most of the people on the list i just gave couldn't do anything about it even if they were aware of it. That's what the term dependent strongly implies.

Look at Warframe. Their model is much better than anything Blizzard or any of the bigwigs offers.

Mithaldu··on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy center booster lacked ignition fluid to re-light engines
They weren't only slow about revealing it, they straight-up lied.

Smoke on deck clears, no core visible, deck empty. Both go "oh." and after a pause, while looking at the empty deck: "we're waiting to hear what happens. [...] we'll let you know as soon as we find out" and "we'll [...] know [...] whether it's standing". All while looking at the empty pad.

They saw it didn't land, they found out immediately and didn't let "us" know. Instead they claimed it might be possible it is standing despite seeing the empty deck.

Mithaldu··on LibreOffice 6.0 released
This is getting into tea leaves reading, but i am fairly certain that he isn't aware of or simply never uses a shortcut for it and clicks through the cumbersome dropdown every time. My evidence being that he's happy to show off multiple access modes for "fill down", but does not do that for "fill by values". Possibly he might also be aware of the keyboard chain to reach it, but doesn't mention it because it's fairly cumbersome itself too.
Mithaldu··on LibreOffice 6.0 released
He never uses that in the video. The video also doesn't show the availability of it. Also a sequence like that for something that he uses all the time is not very good huffman coding.
Mithaldu··on LibreOffice 6.0 released
> Aren't you all keyboard, all the time?

No. Keyboard for the things i know by heart and use every few seconds, mouse for the things that happen from time to time, and explorability for everything else.

Also, link to that video?

Edit: I think you mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c

Very first thing i notice is he rides hard on the "Paste as Values" option being the one you want to use most of the time. However since he has the ribbon on top he has a gigantic paste button and needs to use the drop down every time to call it.

With normal toolbars you'd just add a "Paste as Values" button next to the normal paste button and skip the error-prone, slow dropdown process.

(I also note he has no keyboard shortcut for it.)

Arvato is a call center company. They probably require only a "lower german high school" diploma.
