  • your first sentence sounds like it's saying the opposite btw

  • as a complete layman and hobbyist i also personally think that "more pythonic" coding can sometimes be more confusing.

    I dont think any beginner reads "j for j for i in k" and instantly gets it.

    maybe unpopular opinion idk

  • I can do it just fine

  • I became politically aware - as in I could name more politicians than just the head of state for big countries - in my late teens. I'm now 41. Never remember such a time

    Furthermore reading history doesn't help disabuse me of that notion either.

  • What were you expecting? "As president I will personally set the price of every item in every grocery store in the country"

    As much as I'm for holding politicians to account - we should do it on stuff they can actually do.

  • mine can't purr and does a weird heavy breathing thing instead. it's OK though I still get the dopamine

  • geologically speaking, yes

  • then why are my masc 4 masc posts never answered

  • USAA has 8-12 ONLY. My smallest memorized password algorithm is 13 characters, that I typically use for throwaways, doesn't even fit.

  • 'pataphysics is an extension of metaphysics - both of which extend the concept of "that which is beyond"

    although connected - surrealism from the French for "under reality" is more about incongruity with what is real, but meta- and 'pata-physics are looking at what is beyond the physical.

    Dream-like things like a star with a face are surreal, something like an actual sentient star would be 'pataphysical

  • I'd argue semantically that surrealism is that which lies under reality whereas Doublethink (and other Orwellian language) lies over reality

  • if you want a quiz show that is punishing and exacting, I recommend University Challenge. It's so brutal it's probably technically death metal.

  • you say the lions share of murders are committed by drug gangs, but that's ignoring the majority of gun injuries are self inflicted.

    And while it was written into the constitution it was amended into the constitution, and like the 21st which repealed the 18th, could be amended out again.

    you also say there are 5x defensive Gun owners. This is a made up statistic - there is no formal definition of a defensive gun owner, there is no way to shoot a gun defensively.

    While it may take time - a few generations - maybe even a dozen generations - to disarm the majority of households, it's possible.

    who are you disarming

    the majority of gun owners own guns for fun/sport. So while, yes, it is sad to ruin fun, it's also sad to have children killed.

    Finally, you don't have to ban all guns, you could keep say, bolt action rifles and single barrel shotguns - where sports and hunting could still continue. This wouldn't solve all the problems but it might have saved lives multiplicatively in mass shootings.

  • it's more that what we perceive may be not what animals feel, especially as cute behaviors get them more attention, it's self-reinforcing.

    a cat may look like they're having an existential crisis but may be feeling an emotion humans don't have, like "ready to hunt but need to conserve limited energy while remaining very alert"

    a dog may look happy but actually is upset and hungry so is doing the thing that gets them the treat

  • Someone has teefed de cheese!

  • considering heaven is often described as everyone praising God repeatedly without break for eternity, probably not that far off

  • Ghosts

  • relative to the galactic central point, per Eric Idle, the earth would be 200k/125 miles away in a single second, or relative to everything in the universe / background radiation, it would be 23,000 miles (37,000 km) away in a single second.

    Preserving momentum in different directions and you quickly double it

    Assuming an even rate of death, that's just under 2 people dying per second currently, so you wouldn't even be able to see the people who died before or after you if you retained human senses as a ghost.

  • its theorized that's why human penises are also shaped the way they are
