Police aren’t likely to kill you over there. Just harass you if you’re clubbing with their women.

Icons are used for critical functionality instead of words.
Not just web ui. I’ve noticed this trend with applications as well. It’s much harder to learn new applications now because you have to look up a guide for everything. Hovering over the icons doesn’t even work as often as it should.

A Netflix listing doesn’t need to be same as outside a movie theater. They can be more similar to a tv guide.

Pretty sure I got into it with him on an alt before a mod on You Should Know deleted everything. Weird as hell. Genuinely reminded of those crazy people who go between mumbling and screaming while walking down a city street. Seriously needs to be checked for schizophrenia.

I’m not sure what you’re saying. You mean the piston and portal would compress the platform? Even if that’s the case, that still means force is being transferred through the portal.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 days ago:
It’s doesn’t matter really, this is a red herring.
This is not a red herring. A portal can be assumed to be massless and might not interact with anything. In theory, it could have infinite sharpness and cut though the piston when force is applied. But that’s not the hypothetical. The hypothetical has the portal fixed to the piston, interacting with mass. If it can interact with the piston, it can interact with
There is the problem with your logic. The box doesnt move, there is a shortcut in space that moves around it.
The box moves in relation to the portal opening. The reference frame is the portal opening. If, from start to finish, the box takes 1 second to enter the portal, it has to take one second to exit the portal. Everything works backwards from this. If traveling through the portal quickly would cause the box to be launched, then the energy has to come from somewhere and the piston is the only source.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 days ago:
If the box enters the portal at a certain rate, it has to exit the portal at the same rate. Unless there’s relatively involved, that has to be true and everything else follows.
How is the portal affixed to the piston? Whatever made up system that affixes the portal to the piston would also allow it to interact with the box.
The box has to exit at the same rate it enters and the law of conservation of mass and energy dictates that no new energy is created and it has to come from somewhere. If there is no way for the energy to be transferred from the portal to the box, then simply, portals cannot exist.

If the portal is being pushed down by the piston, that means it interacts with piston. A portal isn’t a lasso because lasso’s exist and have known rules to them. The only things we can know about portals is what’s presented in the hypothetical.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 3 days ago:
Regardless of the how the portal works, if the cube enters the portal at a certain rate, it has to exit the portal at the same rate and everything else has to follow.
The cube doesn’t interact with the piston, but it does interact with the portal and the portal is fixed to the piston. The same way that when I hit a nail with a hammer, I feel the resistance of the nail though the hammer handle. I don’t touch the nail, but the force is transferred through the hammer and in the hypothetical, the force would be transferred to the portal.
The hypothetical does not bring up the possibility that the portal has infinite sharpness at it’s edges and would cut though the piston head or the possibility that relativity is somehow involved and would allow the cube to exit the portal at a different rate that it enters. Wormholes moving at different rates is a theoretical form of time travel, but not at these speeds.

B.
As the cube enters the portal, it will take on energy from the piston, slowing the piston down in the process, and that energy will propel it out. If it enters the portal fast, it has to exit the portal fast.

A lot of those girls were hidden or otherwise, kept off the books from the Chinese government. Not actually that hard in the more rural areas. Not that that excuses the Chinese government’s polices, but the families of those girls weren’t all that depraved. Lot of of adult women suddenly started materializing out of nothing for college.
It’s been years, so citing my source is hard, but I’ll see what I can find.

You asked why people might not like him, so I looked him up. Personally, I didn’t like what I saw, but I already stay away from FIFA.

I don’t follow football, but I’m guessing it’s that they’re owned by Qatar Sports Investments. I just assume anyone with ties to FIFA is corrupt.
- Comment on She's just defending her country 1 week ago:
They make one movie with easy to digest anti-elite digest themes for every dozen that promotes competition between the working class, has libertarian undertones, or otherwise reinforces the status quo. How many Hollywood heroes promote the status quo vs challenge the status quo?
Also, Parasite is a South Korean movie, which makes it even weird. SK is way deeper in late stage capitalism than the US if you can believe it. When Samsung alone accounts for 23% of their gdp, something’s wrong.

The most important thing to them is their pride. They will literally prefer the world to be burnt down then give that up.

- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 1 week ago:
I don’t know much about Switzerland, but America has an incredible dehumanizing education system where if you don’t fit into a highly competitive capitalist, you have no value. Some kids don’t feel like they want to be a part of that, but they don’t have an alternative, so they don’t care anymore. Adults that that happens to become deranged and may think shooting up a school is doing the kids a favor. A few of them have had copies of Catcher in the Rye in their pocket which has those themes.
It’s not access to guns that’s the problem. It’s that we fundamentally have a broken psyche at a social level.

More that I don’t trust Mark Millar and I’m sick of passive, bad ethics in main stream media. I’m sick of heroes that fight for the status quo and I’m especially sick of environmentalist villains. I can only imagine how pissed I would be if I was still watching Doctor Who when they aired their “The Interstellar Song Contest” episode.
- Comment on I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films 2 weeks ago:
The satire stuff rides along site the issues I have with it. The villains of the first two movies are libertarian boogiemen and the finer aspects of how the MC rises to a higher standing also matches libertarian ideas.
The action is fun and the characters and the dialog are good. Maybe they didn’t need to remind the audience that this isn’t Bond so much, but what the villains represent sets off red flags for me.
- Comment on I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films 2 weeks ago:
First Kingsmen had a lot of boilerplate Hero’s Journey stuff in it, but the second one where the villain was anti-marijuana set a pattern with the villains.
When the world government spy agencies fail, it will take a private option one to save the day.
The main character is from a low social standing family, but is discovered by said “private option” and uplifted. Normally, this is just Hero’s Journey stuff, but it matches perfectly with libertarian ideas.
I side eyed the extremist environmentalist villain in the first movie, but making the second villain anti-marijuana is more libertarianism.
I don’t find Mark Millar very interesting, but when someone about him does come my way, he comes across as a very simple minded person.
- Comment on I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films 2 weeks ago:
If someone recommends me a movie with a regressive subtext, I’ll either assume they agree with it or are media illiterate. I loved the look of realization on people’s faces when I explained that Kingsmen was a libertarian morality tale.

Bungie wasn’t a Mac exclusive company. They were a Mac first company. Oni, the game they made right before Halo, was released to Windows and PS2 after it was released for Mac. Halo could have had just a big of an impact without being owned by Microsoft.
If Bungie stayed independent, Halo might have been a one and done game and they would have moved on to other IPs though.
