  Great shitpost reply. It’s taking me all my restraint to not explain the mathematical background of dynamical systems and functions over time…

  You are by now a foundation of my Lemmy experience! (And I don’t care about games)

  Thanks for sharing every day

  But then you miss out on the sauce/broth!

  Two cynical takes on “transphobia harms everyone”:

  • I only care if it affects me
  • trans are only a small percentage of the population, who cares, but if it harms everyone then it makes sense to care

  (Not apologizing for transphobia, just deconstructing the thought)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I do if my girlfriend doesn’t listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would add some depth to this take. How long have you known each others? It might be that she is trying to lighten the mood and, in a misplaced effort to make you happy, strikes the wrong note. This is a crappy excuse an only works if you have been dating very shortly (a couple of months max) and only if, when pointed out, she makes obvious attempts at redirecting. I would not go as far as couples counseling, not worth it if she can’t see the problem and fix it herself.

  That was more NSFW than I expected! Thanks for sharing!

  Tom Holland is playing a college kid, George Lazenby a 40 year old James Bond.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't this enraging? Get off Lemmy and go angry reacc plz bro just one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I so want to rationalize it and not be upset… maybe they weren’t producing anymore?

  And Fuji were “Horse Food” and are now “Barely worth it”! Totally do not agree with their palate, love their dedication and sharpness!

  Thanks, that’s very informative!

  I would expect emissions to cumulatively impact air quality, is that not the case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sean Connery in 1964 (on the set of Goldfinger) and Thomas Brodie-Sangster in 2024. Both age 34 in their respective photos.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the informative response. I’m a bit confused by the graphs given, that track emissions and not air quality itself. Would you know why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sean Connery in 1964 (on the set of Goldfinger) and Thomas Brodie-Sangster in 2024. Both age 34 in their respective photos.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking of PFAS, pesticides, ultra-processed food and such

  Is this really it? I thought the non smoking would be compensated by the increased pollution of everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh this I like⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even as the host, as a party goer as well. It’s a 5 seconds gimmick that wastes drinks and makes a mess. Potentially breaking glasses as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tell me what to do today, and I will report back.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This thread was very wholesome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tell me what to do today, and I will report back.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about music? Drum a 3 minute improv song in a surface of your vhoice, bonus points for random improv lyrics

  Thanks for the laugh!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pfft⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “House of Leaves” challenges what is a book! Forget grammar, this is an identify crisis of narrative. Or is it even narrative at this point? Work of art, absolutely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pfft⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gormenghast… I read a translation si I wouldn’t know about grammar rules, but it definitely broke storytelling rules. The style of the descriptions, how description and action blend into one another, how decay becomes almost a tangible presence through the pages… a unique book by any means

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice for moving to NY?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree: first choose the college, then start planning the rest. And consider that you might be too late to transfer for next semester, so “as early as possible” might hinge on you losing a semester or not. Taking longer might also allow you to apply for scholarships and look into student housing.

  You have to decise how close to NYC is still acceptable for you. Princeton? Rutgers? NJIT as the previous commenter mentioned? I don’t know anything about CS majors, but World Ranking used to do a good job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Japan has not been doing all right. Their economy has long stagnated, working conditions have been maintained rough with very long working hours and recently they have pivoted on their isolationism bordering on racism to accept workers for outside Japan.

  It’s not horrible, but it’s not all right either

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not what the given website says. The given source predicts a continuous growth until at least 2100, while the growth rate slowly grinds to a halt but doesn’t go negative. Obviously this is only one possible forecast, others give different outcomes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I put on a street lamp to stop the light in one direction?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One suggestion I haven’t seen: aluminum foil.

  You can stick aluminum foil to a flat surface by wetting the aluminum foil and spreading it with your hands while pushing the water out. It’s cheap, easy to remove and leaves no trace. Now, you can think of applying it on the street lamp or on your own window

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bene Gesserit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I remember, death penalty drug need to be approved to be “painless” (gag+sarcasm), so there are very few legal options and fewer yet being still produced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences a glitch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It happened to me in my 20s! I was playing cards with some friends and one of them was dealing. The split second later, I ask where my cards were. Apparently, I fell asleep while they were dealing the cards, slept exactly through a full game and abruptly woke up while they were dealing cards again.
