I have commited the Num-Code for ™ to muscle memory.

Other interests include bicycles, bread making and DIY. I do own a 3D-printer and adore the Nintendo 3ds.

  • Since it won't happen the other way around, how do I get people to approach ME in public?

    Jump

  • Au contraire! As was sung, "I am the one thing in life I can't control" (Edit: Oof, how embarrising), spending effort on that is the waste. So just coming off as more approachable is the one path open to me.

    Jump

  • Way to miss the question, I know that works for some but for me it's not going to happen. Unless you can tell me why I can't take the role that never needs to initiate I'm not interested into being psyched up.

  • In here absolutely everyone knows this stuff and it’s all just common knowledge.

  • What single image can you use to express a complex situation that would otherwise take minutes to explain?

  • do you hate AI generated art? why?

    Jump

  • If I see a obviously AI generated picture as a thumbnail on youtube, I immediately block that creator. If I hear those awful AI voices reading text, same. If you want to share something with the world, put some effort into it.

    Use case seems to just be dicking around, and that is just not worth the resources we pour into it.

  • I prefer an actual danish over either of these, myself, though.

    I get that, but even if you import them, cannibalism is generally frowned upon.

  • Next to nothing? Let's see:

    • Wasn't/isn't there a civil war/coup that broke out like 2-3 years ago?
    • 15 years ago there were problems with radical Buddhist groups going after Muslims.
    • ...
    • Age of empires 2 gave them Arambai as their unique unit, I think their unique techs were something forgettable with elephants and Manipur Cavalry, which increased attack boni of cavalry against buildings
    • In EU4, that area is divided between Ava, it's Tributaries, and Pegu. I think modern Myanmar sees itself as the successor of one Ava tributary, that broke of and conquered/united the region. Was in Hsinpaw? (I was thinking of Taungu)

  • What parody surpassed what it was trying to parody?

    Jump

  • Does it count if I only read summaries of both works, not the works itself?

    "A true story" is a parody on the "travelogue" that were popular in ancient Greece, like Homer's Odyssey and Illiad. 800 years later, they had a resurgence in the Roman Empire, like when Virgil wrote the Aeneid. Still 200 years later, A True Story was written by Lucian.

    In the preface, Lucian complains that the genre was ruined by authors making up unbelievable tales to trick their dumb readership. So he thinks it better to just admit that all he says is a lie.

    The story goes on how Lucian then set sail across the Atlantic, got caught in a storm so terrible it blew him to outer space, and meet the all-male civilisation that lives on the moon, who carry their children through the calf of their leg.

    Lucian and his crew return to Earth, get swallowed by a whale, explore the Islands of the blessed, see the Sinners being punished (the ones who lied in their stories being punished the hardest) and reach a distant continent. Lucian says what happened there will be shared in the sequel, which a comment describes as the biggest lie of all.

  • Planet Definitions

    Jump

  • I cannot respect people who call Pluto a planet on internet forums whenever this topic comes up. Not because I agree with NASA, think their definition is perfect, or think those people just cling to nostalgia and hate change, no.

    I cannot respect them because Pluto does not care and trying to white knight perceived attacks against it will not impress it, those people are just being pathetic.

    TIL Bananas are berries that grow on giant herbs

    Jump

  • I just don't respect botanical definitions any more. Who cares what they think berries, fruits, grain and nuts should be? They can't even define a tree! If anyone gets to define these terms for every English speaker, it sure isn't going to be them.

    Culinary definitions all the way! Unfortunately, they have no satisfying category for rhubarb either.

  • Fun fact: Caulrophobia (fear of clowns) is way more common than arachnophobia (according to a quick glance at wikipedia), if we ignore how serious a reaction usually is in deciding what to cw, we better be ready to hide all Balatro screenshots.

  • Despite the name and status as a pest (they are literally European scarabs), I feel nostalgic whenever I see one. Farmers ruthlessly fought them, so there hasn't been a swarming event here in at least 20 years.

  • Nice try IRS, but you already know what I do: Unemployed, I only deliver newspapers to keep a day rhythm.

    Per month 450€ for paper delivery, 600€ from the state (mostly rent assistance).

    Lived half a year from my savings without any assistance and learned to cut back at everything unnecessary. Now I get more money and don't need to pay into healthcare. Feels weird to be able to splurge again. Nothing contributes to my pension fund at the moment, but nobody believes in pensions here anyway.

  • No fireflies where I live, but that doesn't mean my childhood was free of a beautiful insect swarm.

    My area had a bad outbreak of cockchafers I got to enjoy.
