Hannah, She/Her Your friendly (well... only occasionally overtly misanthropic, anyway) neighbourhood depressed lesbian, here to steal memes, hoard cat gifs and hide from the "real world". I have a degree in particle physics, so if you get this to the front page... idk, I'll help you with your science homework or something? You could probably just message me and I'd try to help out anyway tbh
Yeah.... I hope she was able to find someone who could help guide her through the learning process, rather than her just getting more entrenched and feeling embattled
This isn't breaking news. We've known this for yeara
Cathartic, though
Facebook didn't get "bought" though? They're a homegrown bunch of fashy corpo oligarchs, Zuck's been there the whole time
Whisper idk too much, but pdfs is a euphemism for... connoisseurs of CSAM, shall we say? Based on a word that "pdf file" sounds similar to. The actual word tends to get flagged and removed by companies who implement shitty filters/censors
only after the watershed (9pm) though. I'm guessing this went out earlier in the day
#4 fine by us lesbians, honestly - even if insecure dipshits like that aren't interested in women like that, lots of us *definitely* are
To be honest, if that picture is anything like what the actual design of the sub will be then I'd say it looks a lot more plausible than Titan. The crew compartment is spherical and made of a homogenous material, for one thing (and would thus be both stronger, and easier to model/check/maintain, respectively), and there aren't loose cables and protruberances everywhere for things to potentially get snagged on like there were on Titan. Alas, if the pic's accurate this one might get away with it
It's the English translation of a pro-palestine chant that's been used to call for the end to the apartheid that the state of Israel has imposed on the Palestinian population, in various forms. The full slogan is "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"
(When I say "the dems" here, the primary people I'm talking about are the party establishment, to be clear; grassroots movements and actual leftists (as opposed tl the aforementioned Liberal kool-aid drinkers) have been doing good work where they can, but... there sadly don't seem to be too many of those kinds of people near positions of power atm)
+ gonna rule against them anyway, because yet again they stacked it with simpering yes-men by abusing dems' tendency to fellate the ridiculous idea of "trusting the process" b/c theu seem to just assume that the founders were genius political prodigies who couldn't possibly have designed a system which could produce bad outcomes? Which... I mean, it should just take one look around them to disprove that notion, but here we are.
In theory? Yeah, probably.
In practice? They're out here doing this shit with impunity whilst they stoke the argument over whether it's legal or not specifically to cover their actions and avoid accountability actually happening. Their strategy is literally to "flood the zone" and do whatever the fuck they want because they know their opponents are people obsessed with following the rules, who won't interfere until the courts have played catch-up for months or more... and then the SC isn't +
Idk, them using an ableist slur doesn't feel... great, ngl.
What if I told you that it's possible to advocate for a better system (paving with more drainage than a homogenous slab of concrete) without actually saying that this particular video's product is the only way of achieving that?
Or that that's actually what the other person is doing here, but you're coming across as being too fixated on being right and scoring points to see that?
Shit, I still need my older self to come and tell me that now, if I'm honest
Past me deeeefinitely needed it more though - she hadn't even worked out she was trans yet, she just hated living in her body without really knowing why
I'm honestly not sure if they're laptops or chair backs phasing through the table, like the guy on the left is doing
#5 him helping!
I don't think you end up making something like that unless a significant portion of the people responsible for it are coked out of their minds (or at least on *something*) tbh
Honestly I don't think RHPS belongs at the "so bad it's good" point; I think it exists off on its own third axis somewhere, at a point labelled "so joyously and unapologetically queer you can't help but love it"
You know, that's a decent point
From a certain point of view, star wars media can literally *only* improve from that point onwards!
Gasboss girlkeep gatelight, bestie
Yup... the answer is always, at least in part, "people like you with attitudes like that'
Yeah... some of the reactions seemed like he was genuinely amused, but not nearly enough of them for this video not to just feel kinda off
If anything, the smithsonian story is a little more insidious - they didn't take down the whole impeachment exhibit, only the part which talked about Trump getting impeached twice. So the "presidential impeachment" exhibit is still there, just omitting the parts talking about how it happened to him, lending itself to the false impression that he didn't get impeached.
Exactly! You understand me
tbf, when I'm reading academic papers for research I'll only typically go and chase up the sources which are cited to back up specific claims/work which are relevant to the points I'm reading the paper for (i.e. the points relevant to my own research which I want to investigate deeper or understand/cite myself). I could definitely believe that even if people were reading the paper somewhat regularly in an academic way, and source 3 wasn't explicitly cited in the text, it could go unnoticed
Foxes are another prime example
good grief, who pissed in your weetabix? It's a harmless little story about how a guy snuck a silly fictional reference in to a document for the NSA, an organisation which takes itself waaaay too seriously; it's a mild prank to be sure, but it's absolutely a prank on the institution and how seriously it takes itself.
Too... much? From the kitten room?
... I'm sorry, I don't think I understand the premise 😅 /lh
