That's not for me to decide, is it?

Do I really need to spoon feed you? We have judges for a reason. To judge these things. They study harder than most people, and pursue a demanding career so they can gain the competency to preside over trials.
I don't have those competencies and neither do you. If that's what the judge decided, that's what he decided. You can disagree if you want, that's your freedom of speech. But you don't get to overrule his decision and murder someone.

Or maybe you'd rather do away with the whole justice system, and live in complete anarchy. You can try it, but good luck with that. I promise you, you won't be the one on top at the end of the day.

Yes, and the judge gave him whatever punishment he did. I don't disagree with it. Everyone else here seems to though, and think they should be the ones to carry justice via lynching, instead of judges.

I'm repeating myself, it's the state's responsibility to carry out the sentence, not yours. You don't get to overrule the judge or the state in these things. Even for death sentences, there are very good reasons why they're not carried out immediately.

>Surely even you can admit that there exists a point where the justice system is to be considered invalid, and the people here a moral obligation to oppose it.
Maybe, but not by lynching. By protesting, by voting corruption out of office, etc. By non-violent means that don't risk plunging your society into complete anarchy. As imperfect as you think your justice system was or is, you do not want anarchy. You can try it if you want, but I PROMISE you, there's gonna be a lot more than one 13 year old girl that gets savagely raped and murdered in an anarchic society.

The issue isn't that papers are being retracted. The issue is that we're discovering that some of these papers are not new. We're discovering that research that became the foundation of a lot more research in their fields, for many many years, were filled with fraud. We're not talking about a paper that got published a few months back and then retracted. We're talking about things like the Alzheimer case, where amyloid plaque was deemed as the cause of the disease, and only recently it has been proven wrong, well after we've wasted decades of research man-power on trying to remove amyloid plaque buildup in Alzheimer patients, with little if any improvement on their condition.

Sure, in some sense it's just business as usual, and you always relied on the peer-review process to weed out either fake or faulty research, and papers getting rejected and retracted now is no different. Or at least shouldn't be. But we're now seeing evidence that peer-review has failed HARD in the not recent past, and it's failing a lot now, with publications lowering their standards for anyone who's willing to pay money, and researchers not really being that interested in doing replication or "debunking" work, because you're not gonna get any fame from that. You can't look at the Grievance studies fiasco and not notice how nobody gave a shit at trying to falsify the dribble. And don't give me the "Peter Boghossian and co. only got accepted by low importance publications", 1) their papers should not have been accepted ANYWHERE, 2) their peers should have tore apart those false studies IMMEDIATELY. Neither happened. Their papers did get published, and I think I've even heard their dribble was praised.

And what did we see from the scientific community in general as a response? Deflections, red herrings, refusal to take responsibility, and blaming the people who exposed the corruption.

Let me be clear about something, just so nobody misunderstands my intent. I don't want or plan on throwing away science as an institution, or the peer-review process. But I do advocate that we start levying some HEAVY criticism on how people have conducted themselves so that maybe, just maybe, someone will start feeling some guilt and shame and try to do better.

Because if we don't take these matters A LOT more seriously, and a lot quicker than we currently do, then we're gonna see yet another category of human activity collapse to the corrupt communist woke dogma and to complete incompetence, and we're gonna have another part of Western society that will become not only completely useless, but actively detrimental to our well-being and prosperity.

Thing is, let's say you close down academic research as it exists today, and let the internet autists do it instead. You're eventually just gonna end up with the same thing again, just not taking place in universities.
The peer-review process is just a fancy word for what internet autists do, try their best to debunk a claim. As the autism-review process will grow, you'll start seeing the same things appearing. You'll have autists collaborating and co-authoring their original research or debunking YouTube videos. You'll have autists seeking prestige, and gaining it. You'll eventually have autists who will have the trust of their peers because of their successful work, and autists who will seek to leach on that success to get a head start in their autism career.

As for private institutions, they tend to be a lot more greedy, looking for immediate results, and may be less interested in long term research, even if it may end up critical for even their own survival. You're not gonna get manufacturing industries interested in studying if by any chance we might be destroying the planet through pollution. We've seen time and time again how the private sector is more than willing to either hide research, or create fake studies to distract you from the fact that they're slowly killing you or giving you cancer. Just one example of many:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnJSHdEP1N0

So relying on the private sector is not a solution, and switching to internet autists is at best a temporary mend, as the corruption will begin anew, because it is simply human nature. Whether it's the current academic researchers or the future internet autists, we need to learn to hold these people accountable and to levy severe criticism when their failures or lies have large negative impacts on society. So why delay the inevitable and wait for the autist takeover of research for us to act, when we could do it right now when it comes to academia?

Don't care. Nobody is forcing you to read. Don't like it, me or people like me, don't pay us any attention, don't say anything, ignore us. I promise you, you'll be happier not interacting at all. You would have been better served taking a shit in the bathroom than having to tell me my posts are too long. I know they're long, I don't care. I like them that way.

huh... considering I often end up playing older games windowed anyway, that would be a feature for me, as opposed to being a bug.

So what happens when you start up an older game that doesn't support modern resolutions? What happens if you boot up a 800x600 classic for instance?

Is Wayland any better at handling this? These days if I game below native resolution I just use AMD's FSR to scale it up, so I don't deal with a game changing my resolution anyway. But I am curious if Wayland really is the savior of display servers, or if it's just as stupidly constructed.

@Shadowman311 I came up with a... kinda evil idea today. Next time there's a flood or earthquake, or some kind of big disaster like that, men should just stand back and say "we're letting the women enjoy the satisfaction of saving everyone this time". I think if men were to do that just 1 time, that would probably destroy feminism.

Please consider that the majority of images of her out there are from before she was 18. So the AI model is likely to be heavily influenced by her younger self.
