  I’d be shocked if that was possible. Though I wouldn’t hate being able to do crafting/gathering from my phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Unyuns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But can you tell me anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Unyuns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes… but how?

  And to trick them into banking ranked choice voting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.

  If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

  Heh, even AI can’t imagine that color being natural.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suddenly it all makes sense.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In this case, nothing. High dose testosterone is a hormone, high is a hormone. Both are PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). Now, the difference between them is a bit more interesting.

  Testosterone, the original steroid, makes you big by maximizing your existing muscles (super paraphrased, as is everything I’m about to say). It’s the one that gives you breasts and shrinks your balls (for those that have them).

  Human growth hormone makes you big by inducing the creation of new muscle. As well as everything else. The stand outs being the heart, which you really don’t want to grow, and the intestines, which gave bodybuilders roidgut.

  Like I said, very paraphrased, but that’s the gist of it. And doesn’t touch more advanced things like tren.

  My satisfaction

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hail our true supreme leader⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And contextually, the guys in the background are openly amused. I would expect North Korean military guys to be more subtle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Compost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linguistics⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ow. What did I do to you?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Automation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They shouldn’t be plotted that way technically. The big 5 are independent traits so they should essentially be sliders, not linked like that.

  That said, it’s way easier to see the points when you do that. Easy to miss when colors swap, for example, without the lines when you’ve been looking at this stuff for a few hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. A lesson in “not every bad take is Russian”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shocking. What’s the over/under on that person being a Russian troll?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was doing my 2 second google search, I spotted the whitehouse.gov link (and it’s what reminded me about Ketanji Brown Jackson), but figured the person I was responding to would mark that as biased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You haven’t actually commented on anything recent, just vague references to his non-presidency years (people are allowed to change). Nor have you shown that any of the listed presidents were more progressive. Your argument is “nuh uh”. You claim he failed. How? You didn’t even take the low hanging fruit of “Isreal” or “continued border bullshit”.

  Here, I’ll start: nominated the first black woman to the supreme court. More low hanging fruit, but you’ve set the bar rather low. He’s been doing quite a lot for the LGBT community, which is a pretty big reversal from his past.

  See. Two sentences, one source, and now there’s substance. Now. Refute me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hero⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a pretty contrived setup. If the two top components are not factored into the performance of the whole and they are both defined by their ability to improve other components, then the one doing it’s own thing is not, in fact, a top performer. It’s task is to support others and it fails to do so.

  And what if the loner’s task is foundational? It doesn’t have much direct output, but if he’s gone and everything else goes to shit? Those ones are very hard to measure. I know, that’s been my job for a good portion of my career. And things like that are common. Expecting a given performer, say an engineer, to also be good at public speaking has always struck me as impractical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let π = 5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That makes sense. I feel like if you’re at the point where pi is meaningfully involved, you should probably do your math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let π = 5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose. I’m still internally outraged and haven’t run into such a situation before, but I accept this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let π = 5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Excuse me what? I’ve been an engineer for a decade and have never met anyone that would do that. We have calculators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sleep paralysis⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew what it was, but I was panicked and unable to calm down before it passed. I was deeply affected by not being able to move anything. I imagine other personality/neuro types would handle it differently, but I did not care for it.

  That said, I get being curious about experiencing something benign but possibly scary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sleep paralysis⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had this. No you don’t. It isn’t fun. Experiencing full body paralysis for a minute was a deeply unsettling and terrifying experience. I hated every second. Unless you’re prepared in some way, having the presence of mind to try to sleep again seems difficult.

  I didn’t have a hallucination with that one though. I have that with a different parasomnia. I’ve had a hypnopompic (upon walking up) hallucination one time. That was freaky but only lasted a few seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden cats⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And have personalities similar to cats I’ve been told. No idea if that’s true, but I chose to believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨m'theydy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had to stop listening to his review. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m way to impressionable with negative review and it turns me away from too many things. I miss it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨m'theydy⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yahtzee?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy temperature conversion scale.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And Rankine is a sin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suck it, math nerds⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my first thought and then I realized I had been nerd sniped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they only thing they value is money. Right now money, not future money. So long as the numbers go up, the sociopaths in the c suite couldn’t possibly give fewer shits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong on a human level. On a corporate level, they didn’t admit it was a layoff and so she can’t sue them or get any benefits. Fucking sociopaths are punishing new employees for being hired after they botched the numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm 99% sure it's not real⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yuuuup. Half the time you’re the expert* in the room and when heads turn to you you have to push the imposter syndrome down and know your shit and convey it well enough that people will listen.

  And having the good sense to know when to say “I need to look that up, let me get back to you”.
