The biggest tell for me is the gradient on the smoke cloud. Kids tend to hyperfocus on small sections at a time and oversaturate when coloring.

I find it a bit surprising that almost every major country is mapped to Pangea. Notably Iran is split down the Zagros mountain range.

Thank you. I don’t give a shit about this weirdo and nobody I know even knows who he is. I’m here because I’m trying to get away from tabloids and TV and media that talk about irrelevant nonsense.
- Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy? 3 days ago:
If there is an obvious connection, it should be simple enough to explain it. If the assumption is that misunderstandings happen due to variances in brain wiring, I think that’s a sidenote rather than the generic explanation fot the phenomenon OP described. What OP tried to say is that misunderstandings happen due to biases - and we all have biases - and they wanted to shut down misunderdtandings politely before it derails the thread.
The issue I’m taking is that you’re claiming something and it’s unclear what, saying that whatever it is should rrmain mysterious because of differences in brain wiring, because you’re autistic. Meanwhile, OP is autistic and so am I. We’re all fucking autistic. The irony is that this is derailing the thread.

You made a weird connection to autism that was unrelated to the post. You were asked to clarify the connection, and gave the example that “neurotypicals” rely on “unclear” communication. The connection is still ambiguous, you did not provide evidence, and now you’re being an asshole.

I don’t know how it works in the UK, but in Sweden there’s a pretty steep progression for doctors and nurses where performance translates to better titles, schedules and significantly better pay. A specialist nurse is quite well compensated.

They don’t necessarily need to print more money for inflation to happen. Cost of living can go up for many reasons. Inflation is basically devaluation of savings.

Well you see, as the price of energy goes up, the price of ingredients must go up. And so the price of processed food must go up, and then transport must go up to match. To counterbalance this, the price of rent must go up, and therefore the price of mobile data must go up. All of this accumulates into soaring prices of stocks, which proves that capitalism is the greatest.
It really is this simple! But wages can not go up, because that would cause an inflationary death spiral.
- Comment on They really hate artists 4 days ago:
Which is why there’s a clear progression for art getting significantly better over the centuries. It’s not because artists became more talented, it’s because instruction was available.
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 4 days ago:
I pay taxes knowing that I won’t benefit directly from many of my country’s programs. Free school lunches? New train lines? I drive. Free health care? I’m healthy. I’m not a child and I don’t have children. Social housing? I own my apartment.
But the thing is, I benefit directly. It means that everyone around me has a reasonable standard of living. I’m surrounded by healthy, literate people with clean clothes and full bellies. That pushes my standard of living up. I’m happy to be taxed.

Remove skin. Slice. Cook on medium heat until most moisture has been drawn out. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper and tomato paste. Serve with rice and grilled meat.
- Comment on The System does not work. 6 days ago:
Well articulated.
Just to fill in with a random fact: it’s normally the manufacturing country that gets the blame for greenhouse gas emissions. Many rich countries managed to “go green” by shutting down manufacturing, and dumping dirty production onto poorer countries.
- Comment on This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen? 1 week ago:
Ah yes, “healthcare over war”
Right up there with classic slogans such as “cake rather than crap” and “better a good night’s sleep than getting stabbed in the dick with a screwdriver”

If I can’t comment on, up/down vote, report, share, like and subscribe to and article or piece of art, then what’s the point of me experiencing it at all?
- Comment on Ciao 1 week ago:
I had to look this up and Wikipedia says two kind of astonishing things:
- Originally a shortening of “simpleton”, the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English traces usage of the noun simp to 1903.
- Simp began to have the connotation of someone being “soft” and “overly sympathetic” in the 1980s, when it was used by West Coast rappers […] Simp was referenced by Sir Mix-a-Lot in his 1992 hit “Baby Got Back” in the lyrics, “A lot of simps won’t like this song”.

It’s just a simple compliment to an internet stranger. Their comment made me feel happy for a moment. Take a deep breath and move on if you didn’t like mineö

Well when you say it like that it just sounds dumb.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
Exactly. Also the deaths from coal are not contained to a single spot.
Just the radioactive damage from coal under normal operation is worse than the radioactive damage from nuclear disasters.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
Just to be clear, I’m not claiming that nuclear is not problematic. It is. But the lasting damage from ultra rare major disasters is like a decade of topsoil contamination.
You can compare nuclear to hydro and coal, because those are the similar sources that can produce base load electricity. In that group, nuclear is by far the least problematic.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
Wind and solar aren’t bad, they’re approximately the same as nuclear.
Energy source Deaths/TWh Brown coal 32.72 - Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
Nuclear doesn’t compete with wind and solar. You can put up wind and hydro cheaply and quickly almost anywhere, and that’s great and all and we should honestly subsidize manufacture inside Europe rather than just rely on buying from China.
But you still need base load and nuclear is the only option that makes any sense on scale from an ecological perspective. Hydro is highly situational and almost always a worse option for the environment, as well as for safety.
So yeah, just go nuclear bro.
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
There’s been what, three disasters total similar to the one in Fukushima? And remind me, how many people died from that one? Was it one guy?
- Comment on A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark 1 week ago:
This is probably true when it comes to wind, but deaths from hydro is all about dams breaking.

My high point was reading this comment. And I used to be the male version of Violet 20 years ago.

Ah, nice! Looks reasonable. I think the stream just goes directly to a data center, where the actual license plate recognition and any computation happens.
- Comment on There's always money in the banana sta... Flock cameras 1 week ago:
Recording video and audio needs like 1GB RAM max. It would then stream that to a data center to do the heavy lifting for scanning the images, extracting license plates, running the database and so on. But even if they did that locally, 4 GB is enough.
- Comment on There's always money in the banana sta... Flock cameras 1 week ago:
Apparently there’s a map.
I’m trying to keep up with what’s happening in the US and it’s kinda crazy to me that there are so many. We have security cameras in Sweden too but you really can’t just put them up anywhere.
- Comment on When they didn't read the manual 1 week ago:
I feel like it’s more of a physical analogy in moving my fingers up to scroll down. It’s like I put my fingers on a piece of paper and dragged it upward, that’s how I would “scroll down”.
