Scientists know when to use existing knowledge.

No, cubes cannot be destroyed by crushing. The portal disappears when the surface moves and then the cube stops the surface’s descent.

“I don’t tolerate transphobia, that’s why I banned blahaj” is pretty goddamn funny.

On top of that, [0-9]+ matches one or more digits and ()? matches the previous token zero or one times, so the whole thing combines to zero or more digits, which is just [0-9]*. They’re even bad at regex.

PS5 load times sure are nicer than PS3 load times, though.

Proper communism has been done at a small scale many times, e.g. in Catalonia during the Spanish civil war. Its main point of failure has been insufficient ability to defeat violence from without.

And Wakanda, and probably Latveria at some point. Also most of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Nah, yeah

To be fair, violence is absolutely a human activity.

Dems only have to turn two Republicans + Sinema, seeing as Graham is dead and McConnell is incapacitated. I think it’s possible.

A corpse is not a sentient creature. Former sentience is not the same as sentience.
A corpse should be treated like the person it was, so it still needs consent otherwise you’re still raping it.
That’s your opinion, and it’s completely valid, but what’s your justification for why someone else should agree?
Extending your logic to make my point, if a corpse is blurring the line, what about brain dead coma patients, especially ones that are infertile? Are they ok to rape? They’re alive and can’t reproduce, so what’s the difference, right?
Well, they’re alive, for one. Corpses by definition are not. And what we think of as “brain-dead” is the long-term and potentially permanent loss of consciousness and therefore sapience, but sentience is a bit harder to disprove.
Your standard seems to be “current or former sentient beings,” which is consistent, but you haven’t given a justification for the “or former” part. Current sentient beings experience suffering, so that’s a pretty good reason, but corpses don’t.
- Comment on Can someone explain how this wiring works? 2 weeks ago:
My guess is that the original power button shorts its trace to ground and the console is looking at that resistance to tell whether it’s pressed. Adding a replacement button just means putting something that can connect that trace to ground on demand.
- Comment on Can someone explain how this wiring works? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for posting this! I was getting frustrated ten minutes ago about how my roommate’s dog keeps ejecting my 360 S’s disk tray. I’d use an E, but I don’t want to lose a USB port. I might have to do something like this.

It’s heavily disputed whether those translations are more accurate rather than just reading nuance where none exists. Some translations also interpret it as specifically about pedophilia, but again, they may or may not be more accurate than simply translating it as all M/M sex.

A dildo also isn’t able to consent. A carrot isn’t able to consent and is more alive than the roadkill (since it can still reproduce). Ability to consent is something we require from conscious beings, but we generally don’t require it from objects, and corpses blur the line.
I definitely get the “ick” feeling from necrophilia, so my knee-jerk reaction is to consider it immoral, but it isn’t actually that easy to come up with a consistent justification for that condemnation.

Tons of other violent crimes, too. Asking someone why they don’t commit mass rape if they don’t think they’re being watched is *wild."
- Comment on Are separable verbs a thing in ENG? 2 weeks ago:
Compared to English, which is three languages in a trenchcoat, or Mandarin, which is tonal and has ~100k characters, ~3k of which is considered the minimum to know for fluency, or Japanese, which has three different writing systems, one of which even high-schoolers aren’t expected to know well?

Yeah, kidnapping a human is a whole thing. A Roomba can barely fight back and weighs a lot less.

and they excluded reports where the breeds were unknown.
And didn’t disclose how many there were of those. For all we know, that was the vast majority of cases.
- Comment on How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"? 4 weeks ago:
Their hardware has been better relative to the competition than ever in the ARM era. The M5 is a monster. I just wish I could afford one with plenty of RAM and could run Linux on it.
- Comment on Why are there so many more mtf trans vs ftm trans people?? 4 weeks ago:
Trans people who don’t pass often get perceived as gender non-conforming. Trans people who do pass are perceived as cis (that’s kind of the point of passing).

The fine should go up exponentially with the number of violations (as well as income). First ticket? You screwed up. Tenth? You clearly don’t care. Hundredth? You’re doing it on purpose.
- Comment on Why doesn't Israel or the US try to fracture the relationship between Hezbollah and Iran? Instead of straight forward attack. Or make Iran see they are not worth the headache? 5 weeks ago:
I’d say symbiotes. The US doesn’t strictly need Israel, but it benefits from having a glorified military base in that area. Israel strictly depends on the US, but they’re playing a dangerous game with constant escalations, to the point where the US may decide that they’re no longer worth the effort.

There are more Christian Zionists in the United States alone than there are total Jews on the planet.
Most Jewish people are Zionist to some degree (though the number has been plummeting since Israel’s last major escalation in its genocide), but most Zionists are not Jewish.

Why is Mickey surprised? Walt Disney was incredibly racist.
- Comment on What exactly is a third party launcher? 1 month ago:
I would disagree. I think Steam’s definition is reasonable. The launcher you are intentionally using (i.e. you bought the game there and initially launched it from there) is the first party. Any other launchers are third party.
Now, if you’re looking at the game’s product page on the publisher’s website, that changes things. In that case, I’d say they’re justified in saying something like “available on these third-party launchers: Steam, GOG.”
