If we block them we don’t see them and can’t downvote them, which is a tacit acceptance that these kinds of demeaning misogynistic comics are acceptable. They are not acceptable. I’m doing my very small part to make this place feel a little safer for others by downvoting instead of simply ignoring and accepting the hurtful things shared by you and your ignorant and disgusting ilk.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There is a sense in which infinity is the most finite concept, that it turns more than a trillion unfathomably large numbers into one tiny easy-to-digest idea... like a thought-terminating cliche of >
51·1 day agoClearly you’ve never listened to mathematicians talk about infinities. Things get weird when you try to develop concepts around the inconceivably large and small. If infinity is a thought terminating cliche from your perspective, my suggestion would be to change your perspective.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•The Small Website Discoverability CrisisEnglish
25·1 day agoI’d like to see ideas like this make a comeback, hopefully with some modifications this time around to protect our privacy and resist corporate exploitation.
We used to use del.icio.us and other variants to do exactly this before browsers had profiles. Back then, its primary draw was that you could take your bookmarks with you anywhere to any machine (this being before that function was baked into browsers and before web browsers could be carried in your pocket). The secondary effect was that you’d share and tag those websites with your own categories/descriptors, thus crowdsourcing a new version of the old web’s link directories using Web 2.0. You could browse through symantic tag clouds to discover new things. Del.icio.us was for websites, but people were tagging and logging all of their favorite stuff and sharing it online so that like minded strangers could filled the gaps in their cultural awareness. We tagged our books with librarything. We tagged recipes with recipe thing. Audioscrobbler (later known as last.fm) logged our music listening to automate the tagging, not by direct symantic tagging, but by relational/temporal coincidence. If other people that listened to a lot of the stuff you listened to and they also listened to some other stuff you didn’t, those became recommendations for you. That kind of relational algorithm would survive the slow death of Web2.0 to become the backbone of recommendation services like Spotify and probably even TikTok.

2·2 days agoMy go to trick was to cook my oatmeal in a pot with a lid so that I could steam a whole egg along with it. Just have to watch that it didn’t boil so hard as to boil over. If you’ve got the 5 minute version of oatmeal, you’ll have a soft boiled egg at the end, which I’d peal and toss back on top of the oatmeal after mixing in the other stuff I liked such and brown sugar, milk, raisins, and walnuts. It was a meal guaranteed to keep me full until a late lunch.
Art, of a sort.

102·4 days agoOf course the person posting all the horny misogynistic tripe here would unironically start their comment with the word hysteria. Are you really that clueless or just a troll. Either way it’s not cool.

101·4 days agoNo it doesn’t.
Ever really destroyed your server because the it needed were available? I have. It was so much worse than a boot process that froze.
If Systemd was pausing due to a network share being down, it’s only because I (or you) told it to do exactly that. There are lots of good reasons to delay the boot process until all drives the system expects to be there are actually there or the network is up. Cleaning up the mess that happens when the system does not check these kinds of things at boot is so much worse. It’s never really some nebulous thing. Like it or not, intentional or not, the machine is doing exactly what you asked it to do and a delayed boot or a boot halted until you can solve the real problem is almost always better (or at least safer) than the alternatives. I’ve experienced all the things you’ve mentioned, dealt with each of those issues, and it was so much more of a hassle to diagnose before Systemd.
What is up with the sudden influx of this awful artist’s horny misogynistic shit getting posted over and over and over lately? Most of it gets rightly downvoted to hell, but plenty of it isn’t outright offensive enough in the moment to offset the up votes for boobs. Between this creep and Beep (the other horny shit stain cropping artist attribution and AI upscaling comics), the content here has really taken a turn for the worse. It’s like as soon as everyone turned on Beep, this other jerk popped up and started spewing another variety of horny slop. Seems like too much of coincidence to be a coincidence.
A marriage is between two people and their families. It’s always personal and anecdotal. Fighting the patriarchy and gender stereotypes doesn’t always happen on grand civic scales, it happens in many many boring everyday personal anecdotal interactions.
It’s not. I asked their mother. But asked isn’t even really the right word. I discussed proposing to their child with them first out of empathy, courtesy, respect, just plain demonstrating the ability to have real life adult conversations. I think using the idiom of “Asking for permission” really has some pedants in this thread in a twist.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•This April Fool's day, the joke is on everyone
51·17 days agoHey Beep, forget to switch accounts?
Lol, not surprised. I have them tagged as horny for AI and I don’t mean they’re just enthusiastic.
That’s a copout and also just plain false, call them feelings or takes makes no difference here. That’s not how discourse works.
Some stories use hyperbole for dramatic effect, so clearly this is a flaw in the fundamental concept of all narrative fiction. What a dumb take.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's easier to eat salad with chopsticks than with a fork.
4·24 days agoI fully agree. Crisps/chips are also great with chopsticks, no more flavor fingers.
But this is probably more an unpopular opinion in the west than a shower thought. It shouldn’t be unpopular, but just look at the other comments. Clearly not a lot of chopstick users. And I kind of doubt anyone that claims a salad can or should be shovelled.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's easier to eat salad with chopsticks than with a fork.
32·24 days agoYou shouldn’t be shoveling a salad unless it’s potato or macaroni salad. Maybe your thinking of coleslaw? Leafy green salads are nearly impossible to shovel with a fork unless you mince the ingredients into unrecognizably tiny bits, aka a slaw. With very little practice, eating with chopsticks isn’t much different than eating with your fingers. In fact, there’s a few things I can do with chopsticks that I could never easily do with my fingers or a fork.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's easier to eat salad with chopsticks than with a fork.
2·24 days agoYou can absolutely shovel with chopsticks. It may take a little extra dexterity, but is far from impossible. It’s really only harder if you haven’t much practice with chopsticks. Besides, shoveling anything with a fork is kind of a disaster when you throw leafy greens into the mix.
That’s not how I eat a salad with chopsticks. No stabbing, no shoveling; at the dinner table that is bad etiquette. It’s more like “grabbing” a clump of lettuce and toppings mixed together with a couple “fingers”, except your “fingers” are chopsticks. Most of the small bits stick to the leafy greens or are inherently wrapped up in them. I find picking those few remaining tiny bits out of the bottom of a bowl is actually easier with chopsticks than trying to shovel them on to a fork.



I want you to know how unwelcome your ideas and attitudes are.
