How AutoCAD treats circles done in isometric (which you draw as ellipses in isometric due to how that projection works) as different enough from arcs and circles to the point it refuses to put dimensions on them via the normal way (or even the old style command line way).

Its possible to stick text on leader lines that can be stuck to anywhere in the drawing/3D model but that takes longer.

This person is right though; I've seen many people attempt shut down discussions about the problems women face by shouting that things are worse in the Muslim world.
This is bizarre, because it implies that the only standard that the West has to fulfill to treat women and girls fairly is to be better than Yemen, which is nonsense; we should aim higher than that.

 

A typical conversation might go 'I am upset that people defended the Swimming team rapist at Stanford; what does it say about how much people in the US value women and girls?' and the responses will be along the lines of 'You have nothing to complain about; in Yemen they marry 9 year olds! By the way, did I tell you how much I hate Arabs?'

IMO the use of the word 'you' here is aimed collectively at the sorts of people defending rapists, such as in the case of Stanford.
User was also correct to point out that a not insignificant number of 'MAGA' supporters subscribe to a conspiracy theory that most reported rape is made up and that the only people capable of being misogynistic are Muslim refugees.
It's painfully obvious that many of them only pretend to care about the welfare of women when it provides an excuse to incite hatred against refugees. :\
Those views are obviously so crazy that you'd imagine only the most hardened nutcases could believe that, but if you ask people you'll find they are actually surprisingly popular.

If you want to know how popular crazy opinions are, here are some poll results:

 

About 46% of Donald's supporters either believ Hillary Clinton is in charge of a paedophile ring or 'aren't sure': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory#Public_opinion

About 77% of Donald's supporters believe that man made climate change is a conspiracy theory: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/10/10/clinton-trump-supporters-worlds-apart-on-views-of-climate-change-and-its-scientists/

Donald Trump's supporters are more likely to believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim (about 66%) and that he was born in Africa (59%) than they are to believe in evolution (about 36% in Republicans, having been stable for about 30 years): http://www.gallup.com/poll/155003/Hold-Creationist-View-Human-Origins.aspx

That's the kind of inflammatory nonsense we should be upset about...but nope, apparently people are still angry that women don't like being told that they should shut up because they have it better than in Saudi Arabia. ._.

I lol'd when Shaun said 'Hello to all you Lazy folks who skipped the first part of the video', because that's literally what I just did.
It's unbelievable that people like Sargon imply that they think hate crime is a justified 'eye for an eye' response to a perceived refugee menace.
I'm going to actually quote Sargon himself 'and eye for an eye morality; that's not even dark ages- that's fucking Sumerian levels of morality'.
So there we go, I guess Sargon thinks his own morality belongs in the bronze age.

One of the things which most disturbs me is that I regularly come across are Trump supporters who think that the Jews made up the Holocaust in order to justify the creation of Israel:

 

I've asked other Trump supporters whether they denounce these Neo-Nazi views as false and hateful and the only reply I've ever heard is 'no; it's his freedom of speech to say that' and this is usually followed by lengthy confused arguments about how believing that a conspiracy of Jews exaggerated the Holocaust 'doesn't necessarily relate to Neo-Nazi ideology'. :\
The least awful response I've ever gotten has been 'These ideas about Zionist conspiracies are questionable, but I'm not going to discount the evidence for it out of hand, so I won't denounce it.', which is itself a tacit admission that they think those conspiracy theories might be true. O_o

These people who will find any excuse to avoid denouncing Neo Nazis are the same people who blabber on about how Muslims should be regarded with suspicion if they don't emphatically denounce Islamism.

So, MAGA peeps, I know that you're preoccupied with the important ethical crisis of games journalism, but could you please do something about the genuinely hateful people who your movement has provided a safe and uncritical reception to?

It goes even deeper than that. He was conflating hate crimes against refugees with migrants who were caught skipping fares, and using that to justify "an eye for an eye". The guy's so eager to hate on minorities that he doesn't even bother reading the statistics he's citing, lol

I don't think she suggested that only women get raped, or that groping was just as bad as marrying children.
She has a point that many of the people who bemoan child marriage on the Arabian peninsular- presumably because they oppose the sexualisation of children and the representation of women as sexual objects to be owned by men, have failed to uphold these same values in the west, because they make excuses for politicians who boast about pawing at women. Indeed you'll still find many supporters of Milo Yiannopoulos, who will complain about Chai boys in Afgahnistan (and quite rightly) but support Milo's defense of pederasty...which is exactly what Chai boys are.

It's interesting that, after I brought up Neo Nazis, your response was 'what about the genuinely hateful people?' Like...seriously man?
This is what I mean when I say that MAGA peeps ignore or deflect alerts that their movement is compromised by prejudiced conspiracy theorists. Getting a MAGA supporter to denounce the Holocaust revisionists in their movement is like squeezing blood from a stone. ._.

African children? What? Deflect harder, dude. There are obviously charities and volunteers that look to assist african people, And guess what? They tend to be left-leaning organizations, and tend to be funded and staffed by left-leaning people. 

 

That said, north american or european political movements are obviously not going to be primarily concerned for Africa's wellbeing. The average progressive volunteer or politician is going to be far more knowledgeable, and be able to be far more effective, locally, than in Africa. The argument "Bad things exist elsewhere in the world, therefore you cannot work to improve things locally" is flawed to an extreme - these aren't mutually exclusive things.

Comparing sexism and racism with starving African children is very much an attempt to kid themselves their whining about mean words is something meaningful.

Also, as a pacifist, I actually don't have any use for hatred - I actually don't, whereas supporters of political "correctness" tend to just pretend they don't.

Obviously I don't condone racism and sexism - but political correctness does nothing but create more hatred; its entire legacy is making things worse so people can pretend they're doing some good.

As for the "eye for an eye" mentality you were mocking earlier, the "pay hatred onto hatred" mentality exhibited by political correctness supporters is an eye for an eye.

Yeah, I'm aware that the west isn't perfect by no means, but I'd rather stand with x culture that isn't as bad in comparison to y culture, while still allowed to criticize the imperfections of x culture. I'm not denying that we're imperfect, I'm simply siding with those who share my values more, and that lady on Twitter in my previous post is simply quite the opposite.

The thing is, it's not about supporting one's own policies. It's about feeling outrage. It's about feeling superior to the policies of others.

 

"These leftists think they're so great, talking about combating poverty, why don't they do anything about poverty in africa, then???"

 

Again, the argument is inherently flawed due to reasons mentioned previously (political movements are far more effective locally), but that doesn't matter, right? It makes you feel superior - they're the real hypocrites, who are they to criticize me.

You don't have to worry that your culture is going to be overthrown and replaced with shariah law; that's a conspiracy theory.

I think it's actually very telling that Trump has to be stood next to an imaginary threat of a shariah take-over in order to make him look like the lesser of two evils.

sharia law is not getting enacted widespread in developed nations. despite widespread fearmongering, the mulims are not going to outbreed the other races in a subversive cultural coup. muslims make up such a tiny porportion of the US that they could never overtake any other minority, let alone become a majority. 

 

you say "people who hate my culture". what culture do you refer to? if we can agree that muslims cannot statistically become a majority, or even a major minority, who is trying to destroy your culture? i suspect that you're conflating natural cultural and societal change with some weird cultural coup.

 

things change with time, dude. it's happened in every society throughout history. that's life. you can scream and shout, resisting change with your every breath, but it won't change the fact.

When people call a IC a chip, or label any black box shaped component a chip, even though it may be something that isn't a IC.(To be fair simple ones with few pins tend to go in packages meant for transistors rather than in the many pinned dual inline kinds most people think of when they think of  the kind with pins on 2 sides, and packages for ICs can contain entirely different things as well.)

Another reason I hate ICs being called chips is that tinfoil hats have ruined the use of the word. Microchip I can just about accept, given it is a brand.

Guilty of what, though? Promoting policies to reduce inequality locally, but not solving all of Africa's socioeconomic issues? Again, African activist groups do exist, but not every political body can (or should) be primarily about African advocacy.

If someone advocates for policies that promote greater wage equality in their society's workplaces, they don't automatically become a hypocrite simply because wage inequality also exists in other places of the world. That's absurd.
