  • Can you please help me clear some doubts regarding LGBTQIA stuff?

    Jump

  • Using they/them by default is already a good start - I would be surprised to learn if neopronouns are a thing at all in languages that don't have gendered pronouns to begin with. they/them is perfectly acceptable to 99+% of people - both cis and LGBT+.

    You can just say LGBT or LGBT+. Lots of others are in use but very, very few people will legitimately get mad at you for picking one over any other.

    If someone specifically tells you to call them a certain thing, you should call them that thing. Otherwise just stick to they/them.

    If someone tells you their sexuality and it is not relevant to you, you have no obligation to ever bring it up again, just as with any form of oversharing.

    And as for why some people share these things even though you may personally find it too revealing - that's just down to personal preference. Different things are important to different people in different ways. Some people might go through their life never giving their gender a single thought. Others might base their life around affirming and fighting for it in various ways. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Everyone has a cause they believe in a lot - for some people, this is that cause. As an "Aero Ace" (a term I had to look up - "aromantic asexual" for those who also haven't encountered it), you're probably pretty predisposed to not care about any of this stuff on any significant level.

  • Do you know the answer?

    Jump

  • It is 33% if the answer itself is randomly chosen from 25%, 50%, and 60%. Then you have:

    If the answer is 25%: A 1/2 chance of guessing right

    If the answer is 50%: A 1/4 chance of guessing right

    If the answer is 60%: A 1/4 chance of guessing right

    And 1/31/2 + 1/31/4 + 1/31/4 = 1/3, or 33.333...% chance

    If the answer is randomly chosen from A, B, C, and D (With A or D being picked meaning D or A are also good, so 25% has a 50% chance of being the answer) then your probability of being right changes to 37.5%.

    This would hold up if the question were less purposely obtuse, like asking "What would be the probability of answering the following question correctly if guessing from A, B, C and D randomly, if its answer were also chosen from A, B, C and D at random?", with the choices being something like "A: A or D, B: B, C: C, D: A or D"

  • Yes but it's not hooked up to cable or the internet. I just use it for the Switch, or I'll occasionally hook it up as an alternate second monitor to my PC and play a movie on it. It hasn't been turned on in a few weeks and the last time was to be used as a temporary monitor to set up a new headless PC.

  • Adding on to the reasons others posted: Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. If you take off a year for him, that puts an immense amount of pressure on him. Pressure to go to the same school as you, pressure to go to school at all, even pressure to stay in the relationship.

    It's always gonna be "They made this gigantic life decision to their detriment for me, so if I change my mind about anything and want to do things differently, like by going to a different school, or not going to a school, or wanting to break up, then I'm a huge ungrateful jerk."

    Putting that kind of pressure on someone isn't really cool, especially if they're actively discouraging you from doing so.

    The Dangerous Silence of Retired U.S. Presidents - Ralph Nader goes fucking OFF on the pathetic, cringing complicity of our former "leaders"

  • Given the specific names on that list, I took it as an awkward attempt to list the people they think are standing up, rather than a list of people they were admonishing for not standing up

  • How much weight are the 8-10 humans at tier 2.5 carrying?

    Jump

  • Others have covered that there were internal supports, so they were supporting nothing at all. But let's assume they weren't.

    I'm going for an intentional underestimate - so let's say there are 10 people in your layer (I think 8 is more likely), then 24 above them, 18 above them, 18 above them, 25 above them, 14 above them, and 2 above them. I think most people would agree those are underestimates for each ring.

    That's 101 people being supported by 10 people. If we take another underestimate that each of those people weighs 100 pounds (45.36 kg) then that's 10,100 pounds (4581.28 kg) - or 1010 pounds (458.13 kg) supported by each of the 10 people in your ring, completely ignoring the weight of the metal rings visible in the picture. So I think it's safe to say it was mostly the internal supports at work.

    What's your sleep schedule like?

    Jump

  • Today I went to sleep at 7am and woke up at 3pm. Next week I'm just as likely to go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 4am. No real schedule, but I tend to slowly drift forward. Sometimes I get caught on a split schedule where I'll sleep twice a day for half as long.

  • A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.

    Jump

  • Hash tables are often used behind the scenes. dicts and sets in python both utilize hash tables internally, for example.

  • You're right, based on those definitions the word doesn't mean what I intended. I don't know what the right word would be. I used it to mean one who overreacts to relatively minor or inconsequential transgressions, taking drastic, often out-of-proportion or only tangentially relevant actions to rectify perceived harms.

    One example would include people ditching the entire company Proton, an entity with a stellar track record of improving the state of privacy on the internet, after a single member of their board made some dipshit comments. Another example might include the general reaction a few months ago when that misleading story about Mozilla and ad tracking was making the rounds. Other more extreme examples would be the passing of the Patriot Act and invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan following 9/11, or the Israeli response to 2023's attack on them.
