    I feel like you're missing parts of this as long as the whole thing is true. 
    His parents closely monitor his screen time.
    He has other hobbies as well. This isn't all he does in his free time.
    It's helping his future.
    His team is still trying to make money off him, but it LOOKS like it's not the number 1 priority yet.
    As long as his parents don't end up taking advantage of the situation and help to keep him in a healthy balance. As long as his team don't try to go HAM on hours when he turns 13, good for him!

    PCGuy_5960 got a reaction from ShadowlightGM in HyperX Fury S Speed vs Corsair MM300   
    Logitech mousepads have a coating that wears off after some use which slows them down considerably. They are good, but not the most durable.
    Not really sure about the Corsair one, but the Fury S Speed is very slow, if you want a speed pad, the regular black version of the Fury S is much faster and isn't coated so you can wash it to "revive" the glide (the speed version is coated, so it will slow down even more over time). I've also heard good things about the MPC450 from endgame gear if you like speed (And it's cordura so it should be very durable).

    PCGuy_5960 got a reaction from PlayStation 2 in Different sensitivity skills easily transferable?   
    A lot of people in the aim training community think muscle memory isn't that important and the more you practice the better you get at controlling different sensitivities. I think there's some truth to that, but I believe the best for consistency is to find a good middle ground sens for the games you play and stick with it for a while. I doubt it's very good for consistency to constantly switch between 20 and 70cm/360 for example.

    I just said that politicians will definitely try to abuse it to their advantage, I didn't say they would be successful doing it.
    It is a good thing, but from the description it is very vague. This one specifically:

    I think everyone can agree that hate speech is toxic. The problem is whom gets to define what hate speech is? It's a nebulous topic in which the intention gets abused and weaponized to stifle dissent of others.

    Yes, and China's government has only clamped down on hate speech as well, not freedom of expression.
    I am sure that nothing bad has ever happened with a government gives themselves absolute power over what people can and can't say, what info they can and can't view. Nope, never in the history has that ever lead to anything bad. Don't worry, as long as they say what they remove is hate speech (which you can't even verify since it is censored) then we have no reason to distrust them, right?
     
     
     
    It's also worth noting that the Indian government was recently caught running a massive, global, pro-Indian government propaganda operation recently where they had set up over 750 different media outlets, posing as legitimate news sites, with the sole purpose of spreading pro-India messages and attack countries the Indian government saw as a threat, mostly China and Pakistan.

    When a country has spent 15 years creating thousands of websites, impersonated UN personnel, written hundreds of not thousands of articles, then maybe we should be a bit skeptical when they try and give themselves more power and control over what people can and can't say.
    Especially not when said country, as Rohith has pointed out, has slowly become less and less democratic for every year.
     
    I think it would be best if the Internet was regulated as little as possible, unless such regulation is there to ensure an equal playing field and counteract that someone or something gets too much power and control over it. Requiring government issued IDs that gets tied to everything you view and say, governments that gets to decide what is and isn't allowed. Those are all bad ideas in my eyes, even if the cause seems nobel like "we need to remove hate speech", because as Neil Gaiman once wrote:
     
    Actually, the entire "why defend freedom of icky speech" is a great read and I highly recommend it.

    Twitter and facebook have been compliant with governments when it comes to censorship and this comes as no surprise to me. For example since 2013 or 2014 twitter is able to block certain users to from being viewed in Turkey. Twitter is also known to be sharing personal details of users located in Turkey with the government, there have been certain high profile arrests and convictions thanks to that. So, fuck twitter and facebook and fuck authoritarian governments.

    Thanks for reply and sorry for not quoting your reply.
    I found this info from reddit, it's a spreadsheet and from these info I would go for either Chinese omron D2FC-F-7N(G1) 20 mil or Zippy DF3-P1 20 mil. I also found that japanese omron switches are slightly taller than chinese omron and does not work as it suppose to even after modifying the plunger or shell.

    I wouldn't really be worried, there have been plenty of joke bills like this and none have actually passed. The whole premise is a joke anyway, if we were to blame violence on some form of media (which is stupid in its own right) video games would be last on my list. Politicians and their social media followings have been responsible for infinitely more violence than any video game.

    Can I pay not to have to download or ever see that? Maybe that's the solution! A subscription service where you can pay to never see anti-piracy ads, that I would pay for.
