i think the best example of this is music. most people have very good relative pitch perception, but mediocre absolute pitch perception. that shared relative pitch perception though will often be built based on ones own experiences and life. the shared perceptual relativity is both developed socially/culturally and innate based on how we process and abstract information, but that says nothing about our absolute perception of that information.

Yes but for all we know one person perceives the pickles in a way i would consider tart or sour while the other may perceive them as sweet. but relative to everyone’s individual perception this fits along the broader categories that people may experience. the relatuvity may be the same while the absolute nature is not

The relative perception of things may be similar while the absolute perception of something differs wildly for everyone
- Comment on "Trippy" Reality 3 days ago:
the logic might be the same, the perception may not

and so what? if you’re hot and feel comfortable showing off how hot you are what does that change? it certainly doesn’t entitle anyone to your body, nor does it say anything about your character other than, “I’m hot and i know it”. It’s not a moral nor a social failure to be confident and happy in your body, and if you have a problem with the personal expression of others that does nothing to infringe upon the rights or expression of anyone else then you are the problem, not the person enjoying their life.
- Comment on A Fallout 4 QA tester nuked the RPG so hard that Zenimax executives got emails about it: "I was running around super-nuking the entire wasteland and found 4 crashes in a single morning" 3 weeks ago:
I just finished the main quest in my first full survival playthrough (level 64 with Minutemen, BoS, and Railroad) and i make heavy use of settlements. Because of this, probably more than half my crashes come from Sanctuary as I’ve built heavily in the Triangle of Death.
Great story and gameplay, shit game.

Its because Polaris is actually three stars in a trenchcoat, two of which are older than sharks with one of them being younger. Polaris Aa, the brightest star and what we call the North Star, is probably younger than sharks, while Polaris Ab is probably older than sharks. Polaris B is almost certainly significantly older than sharks.

He was severely mentally ill and homeless by the end of his life, iirc doing youtube interviews for a big mac. He was a brilliant person who was failed by society and while i definitely don’t condone his actions or rhetoric, its my understanding that he wasn’t a bigot before his mental health declined. Im sure he had his biases that led to his bigotry later on, but that could be said about almost anyone.

the missile doesnt need to survive mount doom, it just needs to survive long enough to accurately and precisely deliver the ring into mount doom. however that does not mean that saurons tower wouldn’t be susceptible to a missile attack. and honestly missiles are the dumbest way to deliver explosives. you could imitate asynchronous drone warfare using giant eagles. explosives are known even to orcs so it shouldn’t be difficult for them to figure some fun shit out.

Be sure to be careful and thoughtful in your color palette though because if colors are important to the understanding of information then it should be accessible.

i love that this ended in both of you acknowledging how cool this info is and that you can both be right in different ways, and everyone learning something new.

I mean this is sound advice that can go wrong if you hace the emotional intelligence of a doorknob (whicgmh is a lot of people, mostly men). Don’t just ask “is something botheribg you” so dryly and regularly you becomw whafs bothering her, but open lines of communication where you make it clear that you’re trying to improve your communication and then genuinely check in on her. Dont just ask if something is bothwring her, but find out how shes been and what may be adding stress into her life. Don’t immediately seek to fix it, but try to understand if she just needs to vent stress or if there are issues you can tsckle together. If an issue is identified, remember it is you and her vs the issue, not you vs her.
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 4 months ago:
just leave them in place (within reason). your chickens probably loved the leaves because a lot of native bugs use dead leaves to lay their eggs; both mowing the leaves and giving them to the chickens probably killed a lottttt of bugs. and it removes important nutrients from your homes immediate surrounding ecosystem. you’ll save butterflies and fireflies!
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 5 months ago:
you’re asking the refugee who just immigrated, is learning the local language, and may not have had as much exposure to web banking systems and MFA and many aspects of cybersecurity to figure out how to set this up and manage it well without accidentally losing access.
you’re asking the old retiree who has no family left to help them and doesn’t understand technology very well but understands how to open the shortcut to the banks website and check their texts to suddenly understand a much more complex system than they’re used to.
you’re asking the young adult whose school didn’t teach them about technology and they were too poor to have much of their own to instantly learn about even more tools and apps on top of trying to adjust to using technology in general.
I’m not saying that improving security or moving towards a more secure baseline is bad, but for some critical public services security absolutely does not always trump accessibility. cybersecurity and technology education is more necessary at all levels and must equitably taught, but that will take time, resources, and effort. there are ways to improve security without compromising accessibility.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 5 months ago:
you underestimate how bad a lot of people are at using technology. something like banking can be a necessity and must be accessible to all. many banks should encourage more secure MFA but i understand why they can’t require it.

that’s because that was classical warfare with well established rules. You had bright uniforms because the enemy should be easily identifiable so you don’t mix them up with civilians. music is one of the easiest ways to communicate important information and keep people together where shouting may be drowned out or miscommunicated.

Well em-dashes can be used in place of other punctuation that is typically used to denote parenthetical information — such as commas and parentheses — but it also has other uses. Similar to a semicolon it can also be used when changing the idea of a sentence — it’s versatile and often an overlooked and underutilized piece of punctuation. Additionally, when you have multiple parenthenthical levels, such as this which is commonly placed within commas — or parentheses — which can be overused, it allows you to segment different layers of parenthetical information.

I would agree with you if this person wasn’t schizophrenic. This would only worsen their symptoms and probably lead to escalations that would result in further property damage or violence. At that point you are feeding their delusions and even justifying them.

yeah but that’s hydrogen, and you place the terminal on the frame because if it sparks when you connect it the battery can blow up from the hydrogen it’s offing.

the person being stalked might be under severe mental duress from being stalked, but it definitely sounds like they have a host of issues of their own.
