themeatbridge,

I’m an old millenial, and have probably watched the first 18ish seasons more times than I can count. But seeing this screenshot makes me feel so thoroughly out of touch. I don’t recognize the episode, or any of the characters involved. Further, they could be celebrity cameos, and I wouldn’t recognize the celebrities in the episode. The zeitgeist is like an old friend I haven’t seen in so long that I barely remember her face.

themeatbridge,

Oh wait, is this the one where Moe gets plastic surgery and ends up on a soap opera?

If this helps incels overcome their issues and grow to be better people, that’s great. If it’s just an outlet for their delusions made flesh, then it’s probably a really bad idea.

But I feel really bad for the women who choose this profession out of desperation, which is likely most.

themeatbridge,

Religious freedom to oppress other religions.

themeatbridge,

No, that’s the point. Disagreeing is already part of the scientific method. To disagree with science as a whole is to argue with the method, not the findings.

Imagine two explorers searching for a lost ancient ruins. They come to a path running north/south. One says to go north and the other says south. That’s a disagreement. They are both still explorers seeking discovery.

A third observer sees them arguing and says “Ah, you don’t know the way. We should not be seeking ruins because I already know what is there. I was told in a dream that the ruins were made by Bigfoot, and he made them invisible and impossible to see. Searching is futile, but I can draw you a map from what I already know is there.”

That’s not a third opinion of equal validity. It’s not even a disagreement. It’s just being wrong.

themeatbridge,

Taking sand to the beach is one I’ve heard kore than once.

Feature/Option request: An overlay, when replying to any post or comment, that reminds the user what group (subreddit *sigh*) they are commenting in.

I think a lot of people forget to check where they are before replying to things (me especially). Serious replies show up in shitposts and are then apologized for, joke comments are made in communities that are more serious, etc....

themeatbridge,

And the post/thread title. Like if we’re talking about the Scarlet Johansson AI voice, I am gonna need to check the title for the spelling of her last name.

themeatbridge,

This isn’t parody, it’s image and likeness. It is much less murky when they are promoting it as “Her” as in the movie starring Johansson as the voice of a sentient AI assistant.

themeatbridge,

Right, they did it for Taylor Swift.

themeatbridge,

I honestly believe that people are tracking Swift’s jet just to make the Elon trackers seem ridiculous. Like, who gives a shit where she’s going? Swifties and… literally nobody else is affected.

themeatbridge,

I really hope it’s all an existential introspection on what it means to be human.

themeatbridge,

It’s not acceptable. There are a lot of people arguing that it is not genocide, but there are zero people arguing that any genocide is acceptable.

themeatbridge,

Weird how you didn’t deny being a Russian instigator stoking division among progressives.

themeatbridge,

“Undeniable Wrongdoing” will be the chapter title for this era in future history books.

themeatbridge,

In response, Smart TV’s have launched a counter offensive disinformation campaign related to safe food storage temperatures.

This is entirely on the DNC. It was foolish to think the conservative state legislature would make the same concessions they have made in the past.

themeatbridge,

Harvard does not encourage independent thinking. Where would you get that impression?

themeatbridge,

It’s impressive they managed to last this long. I remember getting the ifixit kit for my first Note. I think I replaced the screen twice and had several spare batteries after the first one stopped holding a charge.

themeatbridge,

I’m not sure who you mean by “they”. iFixit is great, but they just sold me the tools and the parts, and provided the replacement guides. I have been a customer since they opened their webshop, but I haven’t ordered anything from them for a few years. I can only assume they still have great customer service, if they’re willing to cut ties with Samsung over customer privacy.

Samsung was OK back then. I really liked the device, but it was a little flawed and they offered nothing for the battery that didn’t hold a charge. Eventually the charging port also failed, but by that time I had three spare batteries, so I would just rotate them through the device rather than plug it in. The screen cracking was on me, I dropped it, but the other issues shouldn’t have required a third-party DIY repair channel at all.

themeatbridge,

“Still stands” means is impossible. Is there also a “no thumbstick” challenge? Or a “no controller plugged in” challenge?

themeatbridge,

Unless you panic and thrash about. The force required to pull your leg out is more than the force of buoyancy keeping you up. So if you are up to your hips, and you just try to step out, you will keep sinking. Once your chest is under, it will be hard to breathe and the panic gets worse.

themeatbridge, (edited )

I’m not sure you read my comment.

Sand and water forms a non-newtonian fluid that compresses under pressure. Once you sink into it, pulling out requires exponentially more force. You’re correct that you would float on quicksand if buoyancy was the only force involved. However, if you end up with both feet in, and you’re sinking, the first impulse is to try to step up and out. Unfortunately, lifting one foot pressed the other deeper into the quicksand. If you remain perfectly still, you’ll stop sinking at your waist. But if you move your legs, you will sink further down and your buoyancy won’t lift you back out unless and until the quicksand gels again.

themeatbridge,

Lay flat and reach the edge. Unless you jumped out into the middle, you should be within arms reach of solid ground. Don’t try to pull your legs out until you have something to grab onto.

themeatbridge,

You’re right. But AI could be watching every player on the ice and flag anything that might look like high sticking, or offsides, or cross checking, and then one ref in a booth reviews the play. You could have three refs in three rooms, and if two out of three call the penalty, it goes to the ice. They could watch every game from one location, and there would be little room for debate.

themeatbridge,

Reminds me of a joke my grandfather used to tell. A guy bought a new suit from a tailor at a significant discount, and took it home to show his wife. He put it on, and his wife was not happy. “It is a nice suit, but look how it bunches up around the waist! And look at the way the collar pokes out. Also this sleeve is shorter than the other.”

The guy went back to the tailor, and the the tailor said “Oh, yeah, all you need to do is tug on the crotch a little, and it smooths the waist. For the collar, just tuck it here under your chin. And for the sleeve, just scrunch up your shoulder and they will look even.”

So he wears the suit home, scrunching his shoulder, tucking his chin, and tugging on the crotch. At the bus stop, two old ladies see him, and one says to the other “Oh, look at that poor man,” and the other replies, “Yeah, but what a nice suit!”

The joke works better when told in person.
