  • Properly sharp knives are indifferent to that which they cut. Be that your steak, or you, their job is to cut.

    A properly shaperned knife is a wicked, angry, thing. It must be treated with respect, deffarence, and no small part of care. However, they must not be feared; like a wild predator they can sense fear.

    Suffice it to say OP was just using some artistic license to show that they got a new old knife and nicked themselves.



  • For me its mostly the time factor. A 45 min drive takes 2 to 3 hours by transit in my city, or longer one way. And thats if busses show up and make connections. I would love to take transit but can’t make it work in a any that would mean I still get to sleep.


  • Let’s take that dude isn’t generally considered a slur which is fine. It becomes one when someone asks you to not use that term in regards to them and you continue to do so.

    People absolutely shouldn’t get offended if someone misterms them on first meeting. However if someone is constantly misgendering or what have you after being informed that the addressee doesn’t want to be addressed that way, that person does deserve to be shamed.

    Yes. First thing to mind are the copyright implications of remixing someone else’s character, and the copyright the meme creator gets to the work regardless. Is it explicitly legal to do or is it just that most creates don’t care much, what about if you try to earn profit by publishing a book of meme?

    Then there are the platforms the meme it is hosted on, is it home hosted, is it hosted on a mega tech site, both of which come with a host of differing legal responsibilities and implications.

    Fucking everything is political. If you think something is too political its because your not political enough.

    Your weekend is political, the 8 hour work day is political, the fucking air you breath and the pollution it is fucking political. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING POLITICAL!


  • I can say that this is a common thing in engineering. Pretty much everyone I know would treat 1/2x as 1/(2x).

    Which does make it a pain when punched into calculators to remember the way we write it is not necessarily the right way to enter it. So when put into matlab or calculators or what have you the number of brackets can become ridiculous.

    Exactly, its not that I’m not interested in gaming anymore. It’s that none of the games released recently are worth playing.

    In an endless sea of call of dooty clones and other derivative drek finding something decent has become hard. I want new ip damn it, not yet another remake or sequel.

    (because profit is possibly the most powerful motivator of innovation)

    I agree with most of what you finished with, but strongly disagree here. Scarsity, artifical or natural drives a need for resource distribution which then gives rise to a greedy profit motive.

    The internet and computers in general have largely shown that when resources are plentiful people will create for the shear desire to create. So much of the internet, and modern technology runs off software and hardware designed for free, or at extremely low cost.

    Linux, OpenSSL, heck Open anything, all built because people were dissatisfied with the existing commercial available model, or just wanted to create something new.

    Going beyond software the amount of free entertainment on the internet is staggering. Much of it created without seeking to use it primarily or even at all as a means of income.


  • So, the article that you linked only talks about how more well developed nations have a lower birthrate there for the solution is to bring up the standard of living of poorer nation. Which I can get on board with alright, everyone deserves to have a high standard of living.

    It doesn’t talk about the rate at which those more well developed nations are using resources. What do we do about the fact that we are using more than an earths worth of renewable resources each year, or about the degradation of soil being used for agriculture, or about the increasing need for CO2 intensive energy accross the globe?

    Your article makes the case that humans should not be treated like a herd of deer using all the resources available until the herd collapse. However, it offers no explanation for why thats the case, just asserts that its true.
