Better to wait a year or two for the current cycle to hit it’s low. Or just DCA.

Go into a Math based field. No more trying to read your professor’s personalities to figure out what their opinions are so you can bullshit them into a good grade. Just cold, hard numbers. Often many ways to get to the same answer, but at the end, you are either right, or you are wrong.
I can’t stand subjective questions. How the fuck are you going to tell me that my interpretation of an abstract concept is wrong?! I’ll stick with numbers, thank you.

- Comment on What are some cool infections? 4 days ago:
It’s not really an infection, but compartment syndrome is something that can happen in legs after an injury. Basically internal swelling of the muscles which starts to damage tissue once the pressure gets too high. It causes severe pain, and in some cases can eventually require amputation if left untreated.
The treatment is… brutal. It’s called a fasciotomy and fits well with the setting of pre-modern medicine as it hasn’t really changed much since the 1800’s. Basically, a doctor makes a long, deep cut, almost down your entire leg, until your leg is basically filleted open. Sometimes, multiple of these cuts are needed all around the leg. The cuts must be kept open until pressure is relieved, which can take hours or days, at which point they are structured up. I would recommend avoiding pictures if you are squeamish.

Luminium’s atomic number is 1869
Even in the realm of fantasy, that is absurdly high. Like, that is insane. That’s like putting an artifact in your campaign and claiming it can heat up to 150 zillion kelvin. Even if you ignore how impossible it would be for something like that to exist, physics would have some strong words about how catastrophic that would be for everything around it. And by everything around it, I mean the entire fucking planet and probably a few neighboring ones.
I’m usually fine with hand waving away pesky things like physics and the laws of thermodynamics when it comes to fictional worlds, but holy shit there is a limit when you start dealing with things that would have more energy than the Big Bang.

Music is free with premium, and I watch videos everywhere

And can you play videos on you phone with the screen off?
- Comment on Actual theft 1 week ago:
This is one of those things that I go against the Lemmy hivemind on. I cut out pretty much every streaming service and sail the high seas for most of my media.But I consider YouTube Premium worth the cost.
I got grandfathered into it when Google Music shut down and I really haven’t felt the need to change anything. YouTube music is better than Spotify. I don’t have to constantly play the whack-a-mole game of ad blockers that will inevitably break during a YouTube update. I don’t have to rely on finicky software to get videos to play in the background with my phone screen off.
Look, I get it. All these features used to be offered for free without ads. I think that more than anything is why people are so rabidly against premium, because they feel like they had that stuff stolen from them. But YouTube is a service, not a right. The cost of Premium is miniscule compared to the benefits I get from it. I use YouTube a LOT. Weather for how to videos, or ASMR, or background music, or documentaries, or podcasts. I like knowing that no matter where I use it, from my computer to my phone to the random smart TV in a hotel that I cast to, I’m not going to see any ads.
All this is based on the current services offered at the current price. If and when they start making those services shittier or increase the cost, then I will seek alternatives; but not before.

- Comment on Is it even feasebal to find 12 people who have not been screwed over by insurance for the Luigi trial? 2 weeks ago:
From Lemmy or your chronically online bubble? No, you can’t.
In reality? Sure, absolutely.
They’ll get Bill, the 67 year old boat repair man, who spends his free time drinking beer and fishing and still doesn’t really get the whole Internet thing.
They’ll get Maria, the 38 year old administrative assistant who’s only form of media engagement is watching reruns of The Office.
They’ll get Cadence, the 22 year old intern at her family owned business, who dreams of being a Trad wife and has always had her health insurance taken care of by others.
They’ll have Mike, the 32 year old influencer bro, who is all about that grind lifestyle and makes videos on how to invest for his 15k followers.
They’ll get Kathrine, the 72 year old church volunteer who only hangs out with her church friends, watches no TV, and has been living comfortably off her widow benefits for the last 10 years.
None of these people have been following the Luigi saga. Some don’t even know his name. Some firmly believe things haven’t really changed much in the last 30 years and have zero clue as to the struggles people face today.

- Comment on I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it. 3 weeks ago:
Mariner in Lower Decks is far more immature and makes far more questionable choices, but she is a beloved character. I think Burnham’s issue is that she has the emotional stability of a high schooler. You can have immature characters, you can have characters that disrespect the chain of command, you can have characters who make lots of mistakes; but you can not have characters who have a mental health crisis every other week.
Discovery is like a Star Trek show if nearly every character was some version of Lt. Barclay; crippled by their own insecurities and forced to overcome them again and again without ever seeming to actually grow out of them.

Make a ring in your mind, have it spin.
Make another ring inside the first, have it spin on a different axis than the first.
Make a third ring, put it inside the first two, have it spin on a different axis than the second.
That is as far as I can go, it’s hard, but I can make it look right if I concentrate. I absolutely can not get a 4th ring into the mix, the details get fuzzy and I can’t get it to move right. How far can you go?
- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but being an anti-social, shut-in can contribute to not procreating. There are definitely both physical and psychological characteristics in humans that have a better chance of procreation than others. Even if people aren’t dying from nature, Darwin will get his due.

I was ready to dismiss it all as a joke, but Epstein’s brother came out and said it wasn’t about Clinton… But, pointedly, did NOT say it wasn’t about a blowjob.
So while I’m pretty sure he didn’t suck off old Bill, it’s potentially true that he did give someone a blow job.

Are you saying that if I go to imgflip and spend 10 seconds putting text on an image; that I can… No, that I deserve to put my watermark on it? That my meme is so sacred, and so important, that I should make sure to plug my Instagram on it? Look at me! Look at me! I made a funny everyone! Please acknowledge me!
If someone slaps their name on something that cost them next to zero time, effort, or creativity, then it’s not credit. It’s just a fucking ad.
