  • Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can't harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.

    Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.

    There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it's nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.

  • I agree. I was challenging OP's offence to the attitudes expressed.

    It's stereotypical liberalism. One that says we can vocally criticize a private institution but not actually act against it. And we must deplore any actions against that private institution.

  • Conservatives have been wanting and trying to dismantle the SS since its inception.

    I'm not that concerned just yet. There's a reason it's called the third rail of politics.

    If I had to bet on the future outcome, they'll raise the contribution cap to around $300k, maybe cut benefits a bit, fixing the solvency problem for at least a generation or two.

    I'd also bet on an immigration deal in a future administration. Getting more workers/contributors into the system.

    It honestly wouldn't shock me if the Trump admin pivoted to amnesty just like Reagan. He's a lame duck from day one. He's not beholden to anything from the campaign trail. If he's gotta choose the adoration of his voter base vs the donor base, he'll choose the wealthy. He hates being excluded from the elites. You can't buy class. But you can be invited to their parties, their clubs, their scene. His working class base has nothing left to offer him.

  • I guess both 'identity' and 'heritage' are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    And I know this is mostly pedantry, but there're terms that actually do fit better. Like immigrants, settlers, etc.

    My great grandad was from Sicily. I'm from Minnesota. I don't have any heritage or identity that has much to do with Sicily. I do have heritage as the progeny of immigrants from Sicily. But not Sicily.

  • But the golden rule presents the flaw of self interests. The golden rule relies on you presuming others want to be treated the same as you.

    You shouldn't treat others as you'd like. You should treat others as they'd like.

    Workaround for 4K streaming on same/local network

    I've had trouble streaming Plex in the bedroom, 4K content only. Lot's of buffering/stutters.

    I still haven't got around to networking the bedroom to Ethernet, just WiFi.

    Out of curiosity I opened VLC on the bedroom Nvidia Shield, and there's an option to access devices on the local network, including my NAS. Opened the file directly and it only buffered once, slowed for about a minute (the audio sounded like my cat playing with my turntable lol) but then it caught up in 30 sec or so and streamed flawlessly after.

    Not sure why it worked better, but figured I'd post here as a hack for others in similar situations.
