These goofy cunts, I actually laughed.

You can get any version YT has uploaded. If you just pop in a video without specifying, it'll get the best version it can find.

Nah, just use yt-dlp. Harder to use, but much less sketchy, and no limitations. It's got half a billion settings but it's not hard to look up the exact commands you want, and it supports premade configurations so you only have to actually set it up one time.

I always point to the Bretons as a great example of how race is TES is so real that interbreeding can't create a new race. The Ayleids boned these manlets for centuries, and they're still manlets. Literally, they're still men, they have nothing in common with their Ayleid ancestors. In theory, I think the only way to actually create a new race is to use TES's equivalent of deep magic to "retcon" it into existence, similar to how Auriel was divided - Ethnogenesis as a ritual.

Almost always, yes, a Redguard mother and a Nord father would result in a Redguard child. The child obviously gets some traits from the father, which can include skin and hair, but the overall trend is towards the racial standard. There's a handful of exceptions, but they all predate the lore revamp in the Redguard/Battlespire/Morrowind era.

The Bretons are the clearest example of race essentialism in TES. The Ayleids almost certainly looked like Altmer (if they weren't just Altmer outright), and the Bretons were just tribals they took as slaves. They intermixed for generations, but all Breton are still short, still have round ears, and do not have yellow skin or sharp eyes.

To make a very long story very short, yes, the races you see in TES are all functionally distinct classes of life. It's unclear at what point the mannish precursor spirits became the races of men (and fundamentally unanswerable for reasons far too complex for a short answer), but they definitely do descend from distinct spiritual/mythic forces. If you dig deep enough, the Atmorans and Yokudans (Nords and Redguards) might literally be aliens not only to each other, but to Nirn as well.

I'm leaving a lot out here, but you get the picture.

There's a Cyrod-Redguard (of course) NPC who complains that her Cyrod counterparts were trying to shove her into a "neat little box" or something to that effect. She was one of the big story NPCs whenever Elsweyr came out, I believe.

The most shocking thing to me is that they made her half-Cyrod, when they could have made her half-Nord and had her complain about Nord racism as a way to publicly humiliate Stormcloak fans. Probably a lack of intelligence rather than lack of vindictiveness. ESO writers aren't exactly winners of the genetic lottery.

I think Vivec is also referred to with neopronouns somewhere, but I can't find any reference to it now. Maybe it was removed, or maybe nobody played enough of the Morrowind expansion for anyone to notice. It's definitely a thing among the more faggy lore fans, though they try to keep it under wraps because Vivec being the god-tranny for representation makes trannies look like monsters.

ESO has already started assfucking the lore on the racial front. A core feature of the TES races (and a deeply-embedded excuse for having races as a game mechanic) is that they can't hybridize - The mother's race determines the child's. This isn't just a biological reality either, it's a mythic one. The races are subdivisions of higher powers dating back to the creation of the mortal realm, and arguably from different realms entirely.

Then ESO decided a bunch of the NPCs were mixed race and that was that. The ESO lore is at least partially written by redditors (seriously), and they've had their panties in a bunch over the racial essentialism of the series for a decade now. It undermines basically all of the series' interesting metaphysics, but hey, at least a bunch of faggots don't think it's icky.

Unless it's a bug, no. Fishing has a bunch of components but your accumulated XP isn't one of them. It's probably just random, but if you feel it's a bit too inconsistent, check the wiki page on it. Treasure items have separate, obtuse requirements, which do not interfere with catching fish alone, and it's possible you're intermittently not fulfilling them.

The important part is that we're so deep in female entitlement (and neuroticism) that we're past the question of what to do with female sexuality, and now in the realm of how much of male sexuality belongs to women. I don't mean something like child custody either, I mean the right to your own sexual thoughts and feelings.

It sounds a bit abstract, but think about how many fat chicks believe you need to see them as beautiful. And then there's the sluts who believe that you can't judge them for the cock carousel. Those are specific examples, but there's all kinds of bad women. Liberalism has produced enough of these dysfunctional women that, collectively, they can start limiting men's options.

Fictional women are their worst enemy, because no anime jpeg or movie streaming service has ever swept left. You can have mildly sexual thoughts about a woman without a real woman benefitting. How are these vapid, narcissistic sluts supposed to compete? How are they supposed to get your attention and resources that they're entitled to, if you have any other options?

Normies operate entirely by aesthetics and vague impressions of social norms. They'll accept Trump being removed as long as there's some (false) consensus that he's a criminal, and ignore that Colorado became a one-party state with that excuse. My take is, Republicans choosing to pull themselves out in direct response to Democrats is a play meant to put the responsibility for Colorado being one-party back in the hands of Dems, in hopes that it will put the centrists in a difficult position by highlighting how it was an aggressive capture, not bureaucracy operating as expected.

I don't know that it matters insofar that Colorado was going to vote Dem anyways, but that also means they don't have much to lose by trying. However, it's definitely doomed to fail if somebody breaks ranks.

Yeah they really weren't even trying to hide it anymore. So many lefties were just outright saying "I always hated IH and now I have a legitimate reason to say so." Motherfuckers never got over him making fun of furries and Dashcon, I guess.

I'm definitely appropriating that one.

The Expanse is a weird one. Yeah all that happens, but also Earth is a gibs me dat shithole (with no excuses made for it), leftist terrorists are rightfully destroyed by cosmic forces, and women continuously have the worst fucking judgement.

More brigading than usual, anyways. The average upvote rate on r/conservative is like 75%, and barely breaks 60% if it gets over 1k votes. The "flaired users" thing was supposed to mitigate it, but it doesn't stop leftists from voting on everything - which itself is not supposed to impact vote totals, unless either Reddit made an exemption in the brigade protection for r/conservative, or leftists are subbed solely to downvote everything (or most likely both).

I used to think executing traitors with an anti-aircraft gun was barbaric. These days I'm told that was a myth, and I think "That's too bad."

It's also idiotic cope. I have no idea how somebody ends up here, and still doesn't understand the relationship between trannies and power. Trannies don't get their way because they complain, they get their way because they're zealous footsoldiers who will follow anyone who gives them power. Trotting out complaints or concerns of offense is just to justify giving them influence after the fact.

I got a "dumb phone" back when 3G shut down. It's a buggy, clunky piece of shit. It was also the only one supported by my carrier. I'm not sure they make good dumb phones any more.

One of the mid/post-credits sequences in Infinity War referenced her directly. The only way they could have possibly lost money on that movie is if they filmed part of it on the moon.

Other way around. Social media is amplified to provide false justification to these decisions. The purpose of these decisions is to maintain the alliance with progs, who act as their middle managers and attack dogs, as long as their religion is inserted into everything.

In this case, I don't think they're being dishonest, just delusional. The magical negro stopped being a character trope, and became an actual spiritual role that blacks occupy in society. The cliche is something base, while blackness (and everything they believe it grants) is sublime. It wouldn't even occur to them to compare the two.

You know sex is real, because you can look at a man or a woman, and see masculinity or femininity. There's obviously something real and inherent there. On the other hand, noon isn't noon because we've recognized some "nooniness" that exists only at noon. There's nothing in reality that can be objectively pointed to.

Pluto is similar, but that's about categories. Categories themselves are somewhat arbitrary, but they're still based on observable qualities (ideally, anyways).

One of the pretensions of modernity is that our scales and measurements are real things, not tools we use to measure real things. We've granted these tools more legitimacy over reality than we ourselves have, even when they fail to represent reality as we're actually living it.

We have other tools that we serve, rather than the other way around. They're not measurement tools, but they're still tools. People live as mouthpieces for something they heard on television or social media. We bring phones with us out of the house, and they act like leashes held by whoever you can't get away with ignoring. And god forbid a fucking adult walk somewhere - That's really gonna fuck millenials and onwards when, come old age, and the age distribution being what it is, we're gonna be far more reliant on our own health to take care of ourselves.

DST is just a minor thing, but our culture took baby steps to get where we are now. Every tiny denial of modernity counts, and I'm planting my fucking ass on this hill.

You can actually see how many different AV streams exist for a particular video with ytp-dl. Somebody posted a video above and I popped it in just to illustrate, and there's about 10 audio files, and 30 video files (YT's player combines them on playback, presumably). I don't know if the IDs it reports represents a standard list, but if it does, it means Youtube supports at least 600 different preset combinations of formats and settings. It's hard to imagine, but YT is actually a pretty impressive machine, underneath the garbage front-end and the megalomaniacal social engineering.

Hot take: DST is good and right-wing, because it opposes modernity (where modernity is sunrise at 4:30 AM).

Clocks are just tools. Very useful tools that make industry possible, but ultimately nothing more. There's really nothing about 5:30 AM that makes it 5:30 AM, other than that it comes five and a half hours after we started the day's timer. Likewise, there's nothing special about midnight that makes it midnight, other than that it's when we started the timer.

Tools should work for us, but in modernity, that's not usually what happens. The clock is the most obvious case of this. Industry requires that we put the world on a schedule, and that means we have to obey that schedule too. That's the trade we made for modern technology.

DST is one tiny bit of control we still have over that tool. The timer that runs our entire world can be started just a little early or late, if it suits us. And it does. Plenty of places in the continental US would see 4:30 AM sunrises, or 4 PM sunsets, if we decided a mechanical timer was the final arbiter of our time. Any power we can hold onto over our tools, we should.

I remember a line they had about there only being fifteen or so confirmed cases of fraud in a century. So, what, they had twelve times the fraud of the entire country over a century, in a single city, in a single election? How could you not vote blue when they're such amazing overacheivers?

Well-executed horror is always right-wing, and that's why Lovecraft still gets ripped off to this day. A monster is a foreigner and a raider. A ghost is an unattended past. They're breaching your day-to-day existence and bringing a new order onto it. In leftist thought, foreigners, iconoclasm, and revolution are all good things. That's why their horror feels so fake.

How many haunted house stories begin with a family that has some fracture that isn't being addressed, and the ghost is banished when the family is mended?

I haven't seen Don't Breathe, so I can't comment on that specifically, but it sounds like a rape thing. Feminism tends to be classified as left-wing since it allies with leftists and uses a lot of leftist strategy, but it's really just some combination of opportunistic and schizo - there's a reason why it's considered the politicization of women's neuroses.

There's a Jekyll and Hyde dynamic between feminism and patriarchy. They believe the "patriarchy" (the powers that be) are okay with rape. So, they demand (and are granted) that men/the state/institutions take even more responsibility for women's safety, rather than taking on any for themselves, and in doing so, make themselves less safe. Then, as women are now less safe, and have no agency of their own, the patriarchy is enabling rape, and feminism is the one fighting it, when they themselves are the one making themselves less safe.

All that's just to explain how feminists believe that they, solely, are against rape, and that depictions of rape as bad are therefore feminist. That's one of two reasons I sometimes hear for horror movies being feminist, and the only one that fits what I'm guessing you mean.
