oh, we have a "political viability" chart you can use to decode what liberals find acceptable:

my dick is hamas

are you saying this names are too brown?

It’s crazy that we celebrate people who are billionaires. It should be illegal for Christ’s sake. It’s got nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how big their dick is. We should have awards and whenever someone achieves $100 million, which is already obscene, we give them a bronze statue of a dick, and when you get $1 billion, we could give them an even bigger dick.

it's more "lacking organization" than "flat organization". I've worked in both environments - the former is chaos and little, informal fiefdoms. the latter lets you get things done without a ton of oversight.

only until the brtsh

Some hindutva people have taken to calling people hijra

I was thinking of this one as well. it makes me unreasonably angry because it was once a celebrated position in society, pre-colonization.

but frieren forgetting its an iyashikei and focusing on battle and the setup to battle was what did me in

yeah this was so weird. the tonal shift also didn't ever fully revert, it seemed like? the manga just went on and on with combat like it was any other shonen.

Frieren, from your list, is also a wonderfully chilled watch.

I stopped watching this one after going forward in the manga, early in the show's life. the whole "genocide the demons" thing was a bit too much for me.

heya all! I took a year long break from this website for health reasons - migraines, not even once. the ketamine they gave me to break them was kinda fun though.

anyone wanna hit me with the highlights? any other lemmys implode from interacting with us? struggle sessions? funny threads? hit me with them!

it's the old saying "remain silent and be thought a fool or speak and forever remove all doubt." self-awareness is a skill and calling someone out for lacking it isn't gatekeeping to begin with. like if the topic were related to Bonercelli's lived experience, this would be gatekeeping - but it's not. he's pontificating about a genocide thousands of miles away from where he lives.

memoryholing the Snowden leaks

they get used to it. don't listen to their whining.

lmao

yeah, I was lucky to have already taken Classical Mechanics prior to Quantum Mechanics (it wasn't a prereq so most of my classmates jumped straight into QM), so the math was all perfectly sensible. but the second any prof started trying to use English to interpret the math, I started having these moments where I'd have to sit back and think about the words coming out of their mouths, and sitting with how it was all actually gibberish. Feynman's "shut up and calculate" started to feel incredibly valid really fast, whereas prior to QM, I was under the impression that physics was natural philosophy. it's not and QM was the breaking point, at least for me, personally.

they don't actually spin but they're little bar magnets as if they do. if you charge a sphere and spin it, you'll generate exactly the same kind of bar magnet, but they don't actually spin. and just like bar magnets, like repels like. but they're neither bar magnets nor spinning. why don't they spin? because they're point masses, which don't have any extent. but actually, you can't really observe them as point masses because they're waves.

^^ this was the exact point at which I said quantum mechanics wasn't for me and I'm done with physics, after completing most of a degree. it sort of all makes sense but at the same time it completely doesn't. it all makes sense as pure math but the second you try to make sense of the math, sense goes out the window.

is it really prediction if it's just the same cycle over and over again? it's like predicting "water will be wet tomorrow".

iirc, the question that ignited a war was "are outdoor cats vegan?" -- meaning "can vegans own outdoor cats?" it devolved quickly into "should outdoor cats be killed?" with radical environmentalists on one side and felinitarians on the other, while the rest of us

extradition to red states, not other countries. they want to do genocide.
