Wouldn’t surgery like that completely destroy your ability to detect direction of sound?
i really think it’s just more nuanced.
Absolutely! Despite making a short straightforward comment about my own experiences with the time commitment and cost of veganism, I fully understand that it’s more nuanced in my own life, let alone across the breadth of differing human experiences and cultures worldwide.
One of my absolute favourite food products is Felix vegetarian hash
I am genuinely glad you managed to find a cheap and tasty food which can at least help you reduce slightly your meat purchases.
Being a vegan is expensive in time and money
I don’t think the second half is true. Despite being subsidized like crazy, meat is still relatively expensive.
It’s definitely more time-consuming if you wouldn’t be cooking otherwise. At least in my experience if you want to eat something vegan you gotta make it yourself (at least in my home country).
I thought Umbrella Academy would be the obvious comparison due to the fact Elliot plays him
It’s kinda funny that the whole Vanya - Viktor trans thing in S3 Umbrella Academy had his siblings behaving pretty similarly. The vibe was pretty wholesome. Basically “I don’t really understand it, but you’re my bro and we’re trying to save the world. On with the plot!”
Given how powerful and effective the strategy of cooperation and trust seem to be in humans, I find it extremely likely to be a common strategy.
I also don’t think aliens lacking empathy would generally be capable of forming civilizations, so they’d be stuck at the hunter gatherer stage. It is almost a truism that amongst us humans, as empathy and trust in eachother breaks down, civilization stops functioning.
Gonna throw my hat into the ring here and say this kind of self-reflection and improvement is exactly how communities of any kind improve.
People have problems, stress and issues. This shit happens. The ability to say “I fucked up”, then fix the fuckup and prevent similar fuckups happening in future is how we as a global society improve and become better people.
In short: everyone should attempt to be better, that’s all anyone can ask.
As someone who tried and failed to make sauerkraut recently and therefore went deep down the fermentation rabbit hole, this is pretty damn hilarious.
Getting the exact right parameters (salinity, PH, temperature, etc) to encourage the exact strains of bacteria that you want is actually harder than it sounds.
Or it could be that I’m dumb, that’s also a distinct possibility.
My best guess is that these multiple countries dont want to commit to fighting against the “anti lgbtq movement”.
For Romania, this is exactly the issue. The political situation is pretty crazy, we have a political party called AUR which is the worst reactionary tinfoil hat collection of crazies, very reminiscent of extreme US republicans. They are currently a fringe party, but growing. The mainstream socially conservative party (PSD, a socialist party… long story) don’t want to lose voters to the crazies, so they have to portray themselves as anti-LGBT. An alliance of socially progressive and economically liberal parties (PNL, USR+) is currently in power, and want to concentrate on how amazing the economy is and freeze social issues because they’re too divisive to win elections on.
TL;DR: Romanian politics are an absolute mess.
Romania is a messy country for LGBTIQ people. Generally speaking, LGBQ are accepted (trans people absolutely not), but the government tried to pass a constitutional amendment a few years back to solidify marriage as strictly between a man and a woman. Thankfully, it failed because the general population shunned the referendum so that it couldn’t get the required 50% turnout for it to be valid.
Positive steps are few and far between, but thankfully it isn’t backsliding.
You can say that you’re sceptical but if you say that that’s not doing science then I don’t know what to tell you, either.
Isn’t skepticism the bedrock of science? The scientific method (heavily simplified) requires a hypothesis, predictions based on that hypothesis, and then testing of those predictions. I don’t see any predictive power in the MBTI matrix, which means it’s unfalsifiable. This is different than your twins example, where you can predict certain characteristics of the results.
MBTI personality matrices are just astrology for a modern audience. Change my mind.
It might as well be considering the history of cross-country support. Class above nation, after all.
Depends on the implementation of different login services and the number of possible permutations. An attacker will probably get locked out of trying to log in after making dozens of guesses.
Remote Follow sounds like a really amazing QoL improvement
A commenter in one of the many posts about the conflict pointed out something I find very interesting: while 60+% of Palestinians do have at least a slightly positive view of Hamas, 70% of them believe that Hamas should relinquish control of all militias to the PLO. And this poll was before the attack.
To me, this points to Gazans having at least a slightly positive experience with Hamas run infrastructure, while wanting them to cut out the violent attacks.
Having experienced the pain and suffering of working tech support early in my career, whenever I open a ticket anywhere I’m careful to be as clear, precise and polite as I can.
A close second to the insane profanity-filled tickets were the “THING BROKE. PLZ FIX THING” tickets with absolutely no clues as to what’s happening.
Eh, more like they would commit genocide if they could. They’d happily and gleefully murder every Jew in Israel, but they don’t have the military strength to do it.
Embedded just fine on my end (Jerboa)
