• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Center of mass w9upd be at the center of the disc, so the further out you go, the more sideways will be down.

  In other words, if you started at the center and started walking rimwards, it’d gradually startbfeeling like you’re walking uphill; Because relative to gravity you actually are. But the further out you go, gravity would also be weaker, as you’re further away from center of mass, so the “uphill climb” wouldn’t be that hard.

  That strategy worked well when it was just me and the ~10 articles of clothing I own. But now that I’m in a household of six that approach doesn’t work anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a community for new mods to get in discussions with seasoned mods that is not adversarial? That way the newbs can learn from old guard and old guard learn from the new?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a lemmy-wide thing, it’s on a community basis: Once a community has enough mods to require some inter-mod chat, then someone usually takes the initiative to set one up.

  This. Most mod discussions (at least the ones I’m in) take place on Matrix

  Him, and CathodeRayDude were my immediate thoughts. Both are great, but neither do new stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disclaimer: I don’t know, and I have no particular k owledge in this field, I’m only reasoning here…

  I think those four directions are natural to use regardless of culture, based on our senses and bodies. There are things you can see, and things you can’t, namely in front of you and behind you. And your references to the sides would naturally be your hands, where most people can distinguish right as dominant. These would serve as simple reference points in terms of directions, so the question is, if your bodies were different, for example asymetric, would our directions also be?

  Imagine of we had four ears, two forward and two back, could that result in eight basic directions? What would it take for us to have three?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Still four directions, but it’s interesting that they use an absolute point of reference as opposed to the more common relative ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't I change the terms and conditions in a pre-signed contract with a corpo?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can.But the prefilled one implies they’re already OK with the terms. Adding/changing stuff requires their approval. If both parties agree to the altered version, then there’s no problem.

  I doubt they’ll allow a special case just for you, though.

  I have returned additions/corrections to employment contracts and had them accepted. My usually go to is to change the overly broad “we own all IPRs developed by you” to “we own all IPRs that come from work related tasks or as a direct furtherance thereof”. If they want to own anything I developed outside work for my own projects then that’s fine, but then they’d have to pay extra.

  This is the way. At least half of it.

  On top of that, you use umask and add a sticky bit, so that everything new will have the right group bit set - no need for a cronjob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That does make me slightly less pessimistic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m having a hard time imagining that the end-result would be anything other down a watered down copy that has been focus tested to fail completely at hilighting the societal differences between the people upstairs and downstairs.

  I bet the first half would be overly goofy, and the second half more akin to slapstick. I have not a shred of belief that they’ll be able to capture tiny details such as the head of the house literally stepping over someone bleeding out (or was she already dead?) to focus on his son.

  Agree on his choice of car. That one right there is a tank, and if properly maintained it’ll last a long time.

  Maintenance and repairing are easy as fuck, parts are cheap and easy to find, and they’re built to last.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I just abandon this online identity and start over?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My knee-jerk reaction is “yes”, but keep in mind that any new identity assumed, while within the same circumstances, can be linked to your old one.

  If you want to shed your old identity, then do so. But assume a temporary one, and once you jump platform, ISP, and other identifying factors, take on a “clean” username.

  I remember seeing some movie (don’t remember the name) with a very familiar face playing a character dying from an overdose. After checking the credits, I noticed that Jim went as James Carrey back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can confirm. After trying out a lot of different jobs and careers, I’ve concluded that working harder for more pay only applies to jobs where your abilities aren’t much of a factor; You’re only renting out your muscles. These jobs can be hard as fuck, and often don’t pay very well.

  Then there are jobs where the employee matters more. Some jobs because of what you’re allowed to do (certs, licenses, etc), and then there are the jobs that require niche skills - They don’t hire you to work hard, they’re hiring you for what you can do when needed. Think of a lawyer on a retainer.

  I, for example, have a few certs and licenses, combined with very niche skills. My job is easy as fuck (for me), and there aren’t many others who can do it.

  I’m indifferent, really. You can make the most benign post possible and someone will downvote you for it, so you’ll get used to it.

  And just to prove my point, I downvoted your question for absolutely no reason. Idc how you vote in return, if at all.

  Have a nice day ❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Citric acid is dirt cheap and does wonders for some cleaning jobs. Many recommend vinegar for these things, but citric acid doesn’t leave a smell and works for a lot of the same things. I guess anything acidic would do.
