Scihub is one of Annas sources iirc.
- Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda? 3 days ago:
In the TV-show, no, it was rushed and didn’t make a lot of sense. In the books, I guess we will never know, but the foundation is there all the way back to “Skahaz, I have changed my mind. Question the man sharply.” etc.

I believe this was the point of Daenerys Targaryen, I think GRRM wanted to see at what point we would have to change our minds about her being good and righteous. There are many examples of redemption arcs, but she was the opposite.

Welcome! I’m not sure how much you know about the different instances, or “home servers” on lemmy, but if you are surprised by the amount of marxist-leninist things, it’s because you are on lemmy.ml. Maybe that was intentional, idk. Either way, you decide what content you see, which is quite neat imho.

I understand needing reassurance sometimes, but constant self-deprecation can be exhausting. You try to show someone you love them and nothing works, like a black hole sucking in all your efforts. And little by little it wears you down until you do want to date someone else, but it’s not about being pretty, it’s about peace of mind.

Transactional sex is not worth it. Both should take care of chores, and both should want sex for its own sake.

Haha no, we broke up months ago, but it’s complicated I guess.

I went up an escalator with my ex girlfriend a few days ago, and when we came to the top, for some reason, I picked her up and carried her over that part. But then I started wondering, why did I do that? And she just said “ok you can put me down now.”

Oh, then I agree with you 100%.
- Comment on multilevel marvel 3 weeks ago:
While I agree, I also think we have a responsibility to use language as a tool to be fair and precise. How should we react when for example far-right people start using the word “groomer” about LGBTQ people in general? Should we push back, or nod and say “interesting, this usage is catching on I guess”?

- Comment on average physics student vs POTUS 47 3 weeks ago:
Whenever I think about magnets I remember this Feynman interview where someone asks him why magnets behave the way they do, and he says that to answer a “why"-question you need a foundation where something is agreed to be true, and it seems like for electromagnetic forces we end up in " because that’s how the universe is apparently”.
- Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"? 4 weeks ago:
If the name Mike is a shortened Michael, it’s also possible that bike is a shortened Bichael, and that’s the proper name. The whole bicycle/bike similarity could be a coincidence.

Fun fact, the plural of tuber ischiadicum is tuberositas ischiadica. Maybe not fun, but… yes.

It would be interesting to see some statistics about contortionists and spondylolisthesis.

I wish I had pants like that, but instead of the stripes it’s the dermatomes, and in that position it just all makes sense.

Playing chess against people who have read chess books is the worst… you make one move and they go “ah.. the Toledo-Salamanca opening, I can checkmate in 34 moves.”

12000 bees sounds like a lot, but a normal hive can have around 50000 bees in the summer. One time I loaded 3 hives into the backseat of my car because they needed to be transported, and as I was driving I thought what if I hit a pothole or something and they all tip over, I’ll have like 150k bees in the car with me.

- Comment on Is Framework an ethical company? 2 months ago:
Are they “bending” more than what they are legally required to? Their model is that they cannot provide content if it was end-to-end encrypted, even if they were forced they just can’t. If someone pays for their account with a credit card that’s information they can be forced to give. I haven’t heard that they have gone beyond that and willingly given information. I don’t think we can blame a company for not breaking the laws of the country they operate in.
