I wonder if it might engender an advanced sort of solipsism and callousness towards other people. After thousands of years of the world coming and going around you while you remain, would you even recognize other people as real or meaningful?
It would be pretty silly of China not to have a cyberwarfare branch.
Love to learn some new etymology, thanks!
“Gam” for “leg” is just short for “gammon” I think, so you’re just saying someone has some nice hams, which sounds even funnier honestly.
I still refer to energy drinks as caffeinergy sauce.
They’re really easy to make.
I’m not a professional generally, but I try to make it a point to help people I know move their stuff.
The hardest thing I ever moved was also a piano, out of a basement with a tight stairwell. Luckily I had my gym rat brother come help us. But it still took four of us trying very hard to get that shit up the stairs. It was an old buddy I had kind of grown apart from, so I really wanted to do him a favor just to let him know that I was still a friend.
Honestly it contributed to me now doing strength training. And now that shit has done so much for my mental and physical health.
Again, never been a professional lifter/mover, but I’ve been on job sites about as long as I can remember and have had home improvement happening consistently with my folks.
Drywall isn’t that heavy but it is super sucky to navigate around stairs, especially when it’s moisture-proof board.
I didn’t watch the whole vid vis-a-vis Fieldering, but I’ve always treated this stuff as good exercise and also given it the respect it deserves for body safety. I don’t know if it was just reading the manual and safety labels from my slight autistic nature, but I internalized very early on to lift safely and preserve my back.
Kind of makes me think about comparing the very fucking long period of time before agriculture where humans were just monkeying about compared to the shorter period of time afterward with a lot more people and then even the relatively quite fucking short modern period with even so many more people. When you think about the rate of change of human living, for instance, how fast it is now; is that just because there’s so many more of us? I mean there’s more of us because of things like the agricultural and industrial revolutions, but is it also a bit of a feedback loop? There are perhaps some frightening connotations to that - but to say my actual point, maybe it’s appropriate to think about the “amount” of history in human-years rather than just years.
Hymenoptera means “membrane wing” which I think is pretty neat.
I am quite afraid of bees and wasps, but I know how to be chill around them and haven’t been stung yet. This is good because I also love them.
I’m having a real bear of a time finding a FLOSS animation program with tweening etc. that does not suck ass.
This is actually fucking insane. Like I get that it’s so they can sell your work for generative tool training sets, but it also just lets them straight up sell your work and license it as they please? I can’t see this going unchallenged legally. Adobe’s software is practically load-bearing in creative industries. The idea that all the moneyed interests involved would just lay down and say, “sure you’ve got rights to our movie now,” just doesn’t make any sense at all.
This is one of my pet trivias :) hard to remember the pH for bogs and fens though. It has something to do with rain vs groundwater.
Florida has to be one of the best places for offshore wind power, right? What are we even fucking doing dude 
I dunno, I’m looking for more like 8+ hours of modding troubleshooting to really get into it.

Watched Shogun with my dad and now I showed him Rashomon. Seven Samurai is next on the list.
There’s more to it than just the musical qualities of the track. rap beefs and diss tracks are a kind of elaborate social performance, so you have to consider it within its context. It’s the interplay of the all the layers that’s really exciting.
I went and touched grass yesterday and today I roll in to find like 3 struggle threads. Can’t you cats just fucking chill?
I just don’t get why they called it Luce. Like that’s such fertile ground for the conspiracy theorists who are all about how the catholic church is putting out secret statements that they follow the devil.
