No doubt the world has no shortage of stupid people.

Had one of those 'cannot be avoided' Windows updates (AGAIN) and it ate all the saved tool boxes I had for GIMP.  Dockable dialogues and settings added piecemeal over the last two years gone because Microsoft wants to make my computer spool for 20 minutes and not UPDATE ANYTHING.  And I wasn't connected to the internet so there was literally nothing installed.

I swear there has to be preplanned sabotage included in the OS.

I suggest you get a cheap laptop or something and install Linux on it. Not that Linux won't break something when you update but it won't force a update and wouldn't try to update without any internet lol. That is just crazy.

At a point when you believe you need to update you can back up or image the computer and do the backup. If it works find after it you can continue if not just restore the backup. You can even have the OS install on an external drive and migrate your settings and data over as needed. Just copy and paste. Finally, Unless I am mistaken, GIMP is developed primarily on Linux and then ported over to Windows so It likely would run better on Linux but I honestly haven't used it extensively on either Windows or Linux

Happened on my work computer maybe a month ago.  The machine is a closed system with licensed AutoCad, Norton Antivirus, and Microsoft Office, and that's it.  It was connected to the internet one time two years ago to install everything and has never been used to access the internet since.  I still get 'the updates' but there's nothing TO UPDATE and even if there was there's no way for the machine to connect to the internet.  Fucking ridiculous.

This isn't the first time I have heard this happening. They must have some timer or requirement/expectation for the computer to connect to the internet within that time you mentioned instead of using common sense and just wait until it does connect and do its task.  I mean seriously... a cocmputer not connected to the internet 1. doesn't need updates as it is doing a job and the owner is satisfied with what is happening and how things are working and 2. won't harm other computers as it is air gapped and can't spread infections or other issues to other computers (since windows gives that free antivirus that they update )

Joran Peterson is absolutely right. I watched the original video of his years ago on this topic, and couldn't agree more. 

[vancleef]

I don't quite remember the saying but it's something like, "A Man is barbarian, but a gentleman knows how to control it." 

I never understood the Hate for Peterson. Most of his talk boils down to "Stand up, be strong, go work so you can take care of yourself and your family." Sounds like basic practical advice to me and, if I'm being 100% honest, advice I need to be reminded of from time to time.

Reason for the hate...

SJW

Simple. They don't like him. He is trying to get people back to the basics. What was normal years and years ago. What made society healthy and happy. Basics. Sure there are some that that won't fit or work for but the majority it will.

For the SJW if you watch his videos he fought the laws that were being changed that made it a requirement of using the right pronounds or it was a hate crime etc. From my memory, that is when he started really getting the hate. Many of his interviews revolved around SJW subjects and his statement that women are ... women and do women things and are happier doing woman things just like men are happier with doing manly things.

I tend to agree with most of the things he says.

[ritualclarity]

Is it me ... or is everybody having to log in to their google account to watch any Youtube videos. Apparently that is to "protect the community".

Getting tired of the retards at YT. I decided I would create a rumble account, but screw them too. Twice I tried and the moment go to log in when it toled me to go to my email to activate my account, both times it said my username or password was incorrect. So fuck 'em. I'm not that desperate to contact them. If they can't get their crap together, that's their problem.

[ritualclarity]

They want identification verified (actual ID for example) for their fucking crap system. All to "protect the community".   They are getting harder and harder to work with. I don't want to give my phone number for this account. I don't want to give you my first born either. Seriously, WTF.

@endgameaddiction I have watched some videos on Odysee. have you tried that? I am able to use it (view the content) without any ID. Of course and it is reasonable that I have an account to comment etc.

They wanted me to activate my account via email. When I put in my username or email address, and password, it said it was incorrect. I then reset my password, and put in a new one. Same thing happened, so I gave up at this point.

I'll check it out. Thanks.
