  I hope there are no allies in Europe willing to help the ones who started a pointless war that has fucked up global economy and killed lots of innocent people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyperpigmentation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had those, they’re called Ayam Cemani, it’s a special breed. They liked corn a lot for some reason. Every morning I would let them out and they followed me around until they got corn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Danger Close⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done this with my girlfriend. It’s actually quite difficult to find the right angle with our heads to make contact, slightly tilted and slightly from the side. I’ve also made contact with my eye on her nipple, way easier. Technically, I don’t recommend doing either, like, we should be careful with our eyes, but… yes.

  Blades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How no-techy/"common" people know if a Open Source code is secure?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are many science articles that I personally do not understand, most of them in fact. But I trust that as long as the methodology and findings can be studied, people who are specialized in that area will point out mistakes and try to disprove and improve each other. We don’t talk about phlogiston anymore, because science did its thing. I see free software in a similar way. As long as the source is free to study, and people are interested in finding errors, those errors can be fixed. Trusting software becomes more about trusting a community. It’s not perfect, but what is.

  As a buttologist, they could have added some contrapposto to create a more dynamic feeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries dating apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d never guess if you just met her, she’s a 5’2 ballet dancer but she knows everything about various serial killers. People are complex, we have many sides.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries dating apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I met my girlfriend on IRC, we’ve been living together for 7 years now. She was trolling people with goatse pics and we started talking about philosophy and poetry etc and then it turned out that she’s a super cute canadian girl. This is usually not the story we tell people when they ask how we met.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey hey hey looks like I am in now 🥳⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idea: what if a community formed where only the people blocked by tesseract could post, just to see what it would be like there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey looky! I'm on a list a just learned about three minutes ago!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey looky! I'm on a list a just learned about three minutes ago!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where can I find the list? I’ve been poking around in the source and found some filtering code but I can’t find the full list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often is normal to masturbate?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, do you get mentally excited? Do you feel physically attracted to people? An urge to do something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French village is switching their computers to Linux. They will no longer purchase Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is eurooffice actually available for regular users somewhere? Not self hosting but like in managed nextcloud or similar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walls within walls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hello, Lemmy!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fixing those dynamics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please mind the gap⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please mind the gap⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨multilevel marvel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, then I agree with you 100%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨multilevel marvel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨Gotdayum, gurl.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That knee angle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why the heck is bro watching a painting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The body of a contortionist while performing a trick. This X-ray also shows that a significant part of the spine does not bend.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PAWG P-A-W-G⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ever create an account just to leave a negative review?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True. People are lonely, I guess.
