- Comment on Zero to hero 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised. I also went to school in MS and LA so being taught math poorly is the least of my educational issues. At least the Natural numbers (probably) never enslaved anyone and then claimed it was really about heritage and tradition.
- Comment on Zero to hero 1 week ago:
I’d learned somewhere along the line that Natural numbers (that is, the set ℕ) are all the positive integers and zero. Without zero, I was told this were the Whole numbers. I see on wikipedia (as I was digging up that Unicode symbol) that this is contested now. Seems very silly.
- Comment on Maddie Ziegler stars in Dark Comedy Short Film 1 week ago:
Damn, watching the doctor break down almost gave me a sympathy panic attack! Effectively told, well made and acted. A little too real though, haha
- Comment on Embracer will split into three companies, including Middle-earth & Friends 3 weeks ago:
Anyone starting a betting pool on how long the “indie” and A/AA components last before being scrapped for parts or folded back under the big money house? This just sounds like complicated restructuring to prepare for decommissioning or sale to me.
- Comment on My moon is in Silty Loam but my Sun sign is Clay. 5 weeks ago:
Somehow I’m bothered that Sandy Clay Loam and Silty Clay Loam are both a thing, but Loam is already the “Silty Sandy Low-Clay Loam” and a the middle-most area is “Clay Loam” instead of pure loam. WHY IS CLAY’S POWER SO GREAT!?
Is this what keeps the soil kingdoms in balance? The two rivals, silt and sand, locked in eternal hatred and yet forced to cooperate to maintain balance against the all consuming Clay Empire?

- Comment on Bill Maher, John Cleese rail against The New York Times: 'Sad' it's no longer a 'great newspaper' 1 month ago:
I hate when I agree with the premise (the NYT does suck) but know they’re going to be wrong about everything else.
- Comment on [Discussion] What's your "this has bothered me for way too long" movie moment? 1 month ago:
Thief (The Dark Project) is one of my favorite video games of all time, but the instant KO blackjack weapon causes one of the hardest splits in play style in any genre of games. Using the magic sleeping stick, it’s fairly trivial to take out all the guards and have free run of the map. Not using it essentially requires some form of “ghosting” (beating the level without being seen at all) which is a significantly tougher challenge in many cases.
The prevalence of the trope certainly speaks to some deep inner cromagnon urge in us for problems to be solved with a simple “bonk!”

This. I mean the smoke-life tattoos, the joke that she’s “smoking hot”, the very idea of a 4-5 pack a day fitness instructor being absurd. As a person, she sounds unbearable but 10/10 as a comedy bit.
I’m thinking “Smoke Yoga” for a follow-up skit, legs behind her head with a cig held in her toes (get that feet weirdos demographic too).

I feel like people really get too caught up in the interoperability promise of AP. Like yeah, it’d be neat to use my Mastodon account to make comments on PeerTube videos or Pixelfed images without needing to log into yet another server. But a better solution for that would be federated identity servers.
The real joy of AP federation is that there are dozens (hundreds?) of Mastodon servers; so you can build smaller communities with their own rules and moderation, while still allowing those communities to interconnect.
It’s true here of course too, there’s several popular communities outside the ones on Lemmyworld.

This is the notion of Heidegger’s “thrownness”, which I love as a philosophy concept for how straightforward it is. We all have this feeling that we were “thrown into” the world without choice and have to make the best of the situation we’re born into.

- Comment on Plan Bee 3 months ago:
The “less strain on bees due to monoculture crops” thing is doubly silly. Monoculture has a lot of real problems, no need to make any up. Increasing crop diversity reduces the need for fertilizers, poisons, and reduces risk of plant diseases running rampant. Reducing our usage of chemicals for agriculture would help save the actual bees!

- Comment on What even is the point of delivery anymore 4 months ago:
Most places won’t let you use the drive-thru on foot either, and some stores (due to “labor shortages”) are drive thru only. So they literally won’t serve you without a car.
American car culture is terrible but it’s not like we get a choice at the DMV between driving and having functional, walkable towns and cities. You get to be a driver or a second-class person.

- Comment on Pete Rock Says ‘Chasing The Money’ Ruined Hip Hop: ‘The Bag Has Become The Problem’ 4 months ago:
It’s a degenerative cycle too. All those rappers pushing the idea of “hustle” and the need to get money by any and all means, have helped create an audience that only values the trappings of perceived financial success. Hustle culture isn’t hiphop’s fault but the two have fed each other for decades to reinforce a terrible system of exploitation at every level.

Too embarrassed to crank one at the hospital, but not too embarrassed to have a machine suck you off while you stand at the row of machines with all the other donors. Urinal etiquette does apply, btw! Don’t be That Guy who goes straight for the middle BJ Bot!

🤣 To think such art and beauty could still exist in our fallen world.

Sometimes the phrase “he monch butt” will just pop into my head, and I’ll remember this meme and laugh or smile to myself.
It does tend to distract the person who’s ass I’m eating at the time though.
