I propose dividing people into penised people and penisless people. I'm sure vagina is banned too but I can't remember

Spacing constraints led to accidental French in "Reset_Contagem"

And yet never implemented! Good guy Sony getting a patent so nobody else will do this

I once heard a professor of physics tell us that paradoxes were just questions posed incorrectly (paraphrasing since we weren't speaking English, sorry if I wrote it in a confusing way) and I've never stopped thinking about it that way

The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

So I'm with you, I have no idea how "it's a roman salute" is supposed to make anything better

I'm sure this is true, but the post is from 2020, predating most people's concerns about AI data scraping.

Which just goes to show how most people are slow to catch on, since the idea of scraping social media for AI training has been around since Charles Babbage proposed it in a reddit post in 1846.

I'm really bad at noticing small details. Luckily 99% of AI artists use the same art style (with more or less Pixar influence for humans) so I can still spot AI imagery from a mile away

Reject EVIL ONENESS

You know, one possible explanation is that the dude was painfully unaware of time zones and the time cube was just his way of justifying how different places can all have sunlight at the same hour... And the fact nobody questioned how the sun can be up at 1pm in the US while also being up at 1pm in like Australia made him think it was a huge conspiracy

Makes some sense, I feel like I almost grew a brain tumor from seeing this picture

This idea would not be terrible, actually, you just need the right class allies on the other side of the line

Edit: to clarify, I meant having regular working-class people actively sabotaging it

Fuck. Please don't take down Sci hub... I know there are mirrors elsewhere, should I be worried?

I'm not even going to make the usual joke, by saying sarcastically that I don't use it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's the biggest contributor to scientific progress in the last decade and I'm tired of pretending it's not

The one in this picture matches my idea of what new beyblades looked like in 2005-ish, when I was getting over them because they looked so excessively bulky. I think the launcher also saw a revision?

LaTeX: ok, I'll print out 100 in math mode. No problem

I am a cis straight male (I'm also white so there's more to add to my privilege)

FUCK all of it. Fuck traditional family values, fuck cristian values, fuck "the sanctity of marriage", fuck everything that is holding back a good life for a good chunk of a population.

I love the LGBTQ+ community for what they're doing in progressing society. Keep on being awesome

The britisch Isles are part of Europe.

Not for the lack of trying!

You know, as someone outside the US, I was pretty confident in this election. Harris seemed like a candidate that could stand against Trump in a way that Hillary Clinton never was. I had stopped worrying and even thought the people here were being dramatic in thinking Trump was actually going to get reelected.

Well, there goes that...

I think Sonic Adventure can be a frustrating game. I confess it has some issues that I have learned to work around. But I still can't see it as anything less than a great game that gets way more hate than it deserves.

The first Sims was in fake 3D, the 2nd one was already full 3D. The fourth one is known for being a huge downgrade when compared to 3 and even 2. I haven't played 4 a lot but people really hate it, a lot of the community stayed on 3. It doesn't help that EA is EA, and while the whole series has always had expansion packs and extra purchaseable content, with 3 already being a bit unreasonable, The Sims 4 took it to unimaginable heights. I think buying everything will set you back like 1500 USD or more, and it was super criticized for slicing up content into multiple packs. They even have DLC for DLC, with a content pack only having content for another pack...

It's a mess hahaha

I've been working on some personal and work things and there are a few moments with more free time (and anxiety) than I'm used to. So, I'm juggling 3 games right now:

• Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters for the 3DS. I played the first one and really liked it, but when I went through the sequel I had a lot going on and really rushed through it. I ended up not liking it very much and not even doing the post game stuff, which is weird because everybody praised the post game online. Now I'm going through it with a bit more time and I'm enjoying it much more, it surpasses the first one for sure.
• Sonic Adventure 2 on Steam: I felt like revisiting this one due to all the focus on Shadow Generations now. I'm going for a 100% completion for the first time since I was a kid. I must have sucked back then, because I'm finding that getting A ranks is much easier than I remembered (and much more fun). The chao are cute but I wish I could have a "Skip" button for them to grow up, eat and sleep. I have already resorted to leaving the game on while I showered and it still wasn't enough.
• Minecraft with the Cobblemon mod, essentially Pokémon in Minecraft: I tried Pixelmon too, and to be honest I didn't mind the art style clash, but one of the mods I added to Cobblemon was a trainer/gym leader system, with included level caps, so there's a sense of progression. But the enemy gyms are tough so I'm only on Misty so far and I'm seeing that my team needs a lot of work, even though I'm already at the level cap!

I also started The Sims 1, got to the top of my career and got married, was planning on continuing with the content from the expansions but haven't picked it up in weeks. I guess I'll go back some day, or maybe not.

Took a long rest

I knew someone else had to have thought the same
