  It aligns with the context and their post history suggests they know how to use words. There is nothing bad with explaining rhetorics, but doing it like this comes through as belittling.

  I don’t believe the current paper defines a way to describe “bdsm leaning”, but for “bottoms” you can easily define x, x ∈ H, such that there exists at least one h, h ∈ H, f(h,x) > 0 and no h’, h’ ∈ H, f(x, h’) > 0. If the second condition is not met, conventionally x is regarded to be a “swap”, if the first one is not met, we have a “top”. Hope that helps.

  ∪ is for “union”, aka “disjunction for sets”, ∈ is for “includes”, ⊂is for “subset”, don’t confuse ⊂ with ⊆, which also allows for both operands to be the same set.

  Difference between ∈ and ⊂ is that former takes an element and a set as operands, latter takes two sets.

  That’s also speculation on my part, but I do indeed believe racism against black people in the US stems from slavery. Africans were imported in abundance and were the easiest to buy, them doing grunt work all the time made people think they are not good for anything else.

  If you look at countries like Russia, where slavery existed, but was aimed at people of same ethnicity, it is somewhat apparent. In literature and folklore of that time peasants are usually depicted as not that clever people, it’s just that when serfdom was abolished, populations mixed and there was no sure immediate way to tell who used to be a peasant, this practice mostly died out.

  If a black person comes to Russia, they’d be met with your run of the mill xenophobia, they look different, people tend to be wary of weird, they don’t speak the language, people tend to be afraid of ones they can’t understand, stuff like that. But most people wouldn’t outright say they are inferior or stupid.

  On the other hand, there are “modern slaves” in Russia, migrants mostly from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan who are occupied with extremely low salary jobs usually involving hard physical labor. Those people are very commonly targeted with racism, even though they speak Russian better and look more like the eastern population of Russia. Current Russian government going a bit of the rails does not help the case at all.

  Most black people were brought to the US through slavery and now you have a very distinct marker of somebody who’s ancestors with a very high probability were slaves. Washing this out of the society is very hard once it’s been established, sadly.

  All that said, I do think it’s the connection “only good for grunt work -> stupid” that fuels racism, not the other way around.

  A slave owner would buy any slave, whoever is the slave would be deemed inferior. It just so happens that buying people from Africa was the path of least resistance for getting slaves in the US.

  Why did you have to point it out? I didn’t even notice until you did!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a conspiracy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I must ask you to read the community description, especially if you never did it before.

  Huh. An interesting perspective. Quite an obvious one for a StarCraft player, where everybody talk about macro, micro and mindgames, but an interesting one nonetheless.

  The issue with this system is that these categories are way too broad. Taking micro as an example, my reaction times are usually good, but I’m not that fluent with execution. And even subdividing execution itself, with things like aiming, I’m usually accurate, but not precise.

  It also misses the points of some games. With rhythm games like Osu!, especially when you first encounter a map, you rely heavily on patterns you already know and “where would I place a note if I was the mapper” kind of feeling.

  But yea, more than anything, it gives a bunch of food for thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is judging you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose boring story-wise? I personally enjoy the kind of storytelling Drakengard games have, it’s full of slow buildup sidequests with usually very sharp endings. Also how dramatic it all gets. Loved Automata so much that after fully completing it (except for that evil one-shot DLC arena) I went and ran through Replicant, too.

  But they do take a lot of time to complete and I suppose if you are not that much into all the 19th century philosophy and all the emotional damage characters suffer, that can be boring.

  Another thing, if people here persuade you to try it somehow, a controller is mandatory for this game and do try different keybind presets the game offers, the default one sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feather coat!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Systems built on unspoken rules break outside of isolated communities, considering this is very much a global community, I doubt such a system would work in the first place. Would be actually cool to have various degrees of warning tags to then choose on the client side what to unblur automatically and what not to, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feather coat!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me NSFW is something that can get me fired if somebody sees it on my screen during working hours or something that can put the consumer of the content at risk, like gore images making hemophobic people faint. I can see how this image can be a bit disturbing, but I don’t think a piece of leather should be censored, as it dilutes the meaning for the tag too much.

  I’d then click on something NSFW thinking there is just another piece of leather with feathers under the tag… I don’t think I need to explain this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feather coat!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yes, but as much as I despise people wearing dead animals, I also don’t think it’s that awful to see something like that in a scientific context on the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feather coat!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it looks more like leather and as terrible as this practice is, society very much encourages displaying leather.

  It’s an infinite series, love, I just moved it, there are still enough elements in them because, well, they are infinite. If you are so sad about it, write the second one as 0-S, changes nothing but now you have a donut to pair with one in the first series.

  Hello, I play with numbers:

  S-S=1+2+3+4+...
       -1-2-3-...=
  1+1+1+1+...=S-S=0
  

  Moral of the story: ones together are nothing.

  Thank you for your attention.

  I have a love/hate relationship with a lack of a comma somewhere around “old” in your message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a Japanese peasant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  辶 has a meaning “road” and 十 is “ten”. In Japanese you’d say “jyuuji” if you want to refer to the cross shape, written “十字”, literally “ten character”. Kanji, despite being a semantic writing system, often will not have such a clean breakdown by radicals, but this time everything checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a PC gamer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up in Russia and it’s sometimes so mindboggling that people don’t know their way around digital piracy. It may sound bad, but I actually think that it’s the only thing that can keep the market healthy. I pay for games, movies, books and whatever else there is purely because I like them. And if I don’t like the content you made, you are getting no money. If I have to pay for it before judging it’s value, what insentive does the producer of the content have to make it actually good?

  I say it should be illegal to incorporate the word “snow” in the names of things that are not white.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking math...⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most teachers will write it off as obvious. Taking a percentage of something is just multiplication and if you actually write it down with multiplication, it is, indeed, obvious:

  4*75/100=75*4/100
  

  And yes, it means you can just multiply 75 by 4 first and then divide by 100.
