Man, I have a minor inconvenience.

Lumberjack coffee programmer

I’m not sure I understand the question

If you’re looking for a “something is two opposites at once until met” then that’s anywhere any unsureness exists. Lesson plans are decent and lacking until taught to students. Visual art is pretty and dismal until witnessed by another beholder. Speeches are rousing and dogshit til spoken at the mic.

If you’re looking for a “something that’s explained oversimplifiedly then a lot of people say they get it (and are wrong)” then that’s like a subset of all misconceptions.

• Monads in programming. Lots of people say they “get it” after a simplified explanation, but actually don’t get it (judging by blog posts that recite a simplified explanation, but actually don’t get it).
• Tariffs. Lots of people learn middle school mercantilism (zero sum wealth) then guess that the economy is still import export balance, and that if we make people exporting to us more expensive then we get more of the zero sum pie. (Obviously wrong, and a basic macroeconomic lesson on consumer welfare in a system with a world price is useful)
• A lot of physics terms tbh. “I get momentum, that’s when it’s hard to stop when you’re fast.” Often they mean something closer to inertia. “I get the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It’s when seeing something changes it!” It’s closer to uncertainty in the measurement of tiny things because of the physical implication of what we measure it using. (e.g. by reading a photon off of something, we know we’re kinda inaccurate cuz the photon was discharged)

Yeah… it’s hard.

The status quo, even if its dredged from a lake, is so comfortably uncomfortable. You resolve to change, but do futilities. You resolve to change, but your leg is caught and you return by week two (aka the New Years’ Resolutions number).

And to leap out and be instantly different is to play as something that doesn’t have the safe façade of being a system gear. Then you’re an oxbow lake, rather than in the river, and you wonder if everyone else is “floating by” already while you erode the soil that kept you streamlined down the main.

And then comes the “Should I have stayed? Was I being arrogant, spoilt enough to give up what I had?”

Idk what the moral of my comment is. I don’t want to say “I’ll discover it in a few years” either (,>ࡇ<,). Hopefully the mystery box is truer to my self than the alternative

The grind culture is such an alluring chopping block. A meat grinder… some people go in, apply for a thousand internships, work three jobs, but not all of them go out. Is it a weak vs. strong separator? Am I weak?

I hope not. I’m just an archer, not a tank, I’d like to think.

I’m sorry your dad still has to work, and about their injuries.

Word. All of these efficiencies and inefficiencies… humanness is distinct from it

It’s hard to come to terms with sometimes. Looking at a staff with 3 bars, or a short riff, then thinking man, did I review my finances for the month? But the time isn’t wasted. The pastime isn’t a reward. It’s as important as the work.

But you don’t have to be a monk to balance again :)

Premises:

1. My family watches the news for [weather] and [ye local murder].
2. My friend says: his dad says: “the news lies.”
3. Parents are trustworthy, and cops can’t lie to the news.

Conclusion:

They lie about the WEATHER!?

Thank you for this. This comment is just a little push but now I see – I’ve already forgotten how long I’d gone without writing a note onto a staff. How long I’ve spent on just “things that will pay me or pay off.”

I will do this immediately.

Interrobang spotted. Þought I’d never see it in the wild

If I recall correctly, XFCE4 is modular, so you should be able to use its xfce4-clipman-plugin anywhere. i.e. if you’re still looking.

YTA! Lion’s house, lion’s rules. Hit a lawyer, get Facebook, drop the gym. This narcissist is a textbook lion; I also choose this man’s stupid prize.

Shouldn’t it be the reverse? Ƨqƨqƨqƨqƨqƨqƨq?

This is a good take.

Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.

Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn’t it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?

(Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)

Guess I’ll be chaotic evil and chase worst practices instead /ᐠ >ヮ<マ

Ironically, Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations touches on how thinkers often confuse themselves by slightly shifting the meanings of others’ words (like a game of telephone!) – and, you may have done that here, since he’s never framed language in the way you mentioned ( ꩜ . ꩜ ;).

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. r/philosophy discussion

Furthermore, in Tractatus (though he kind of discredited this book later in life), Wittgenstein argues

What can be shown cannot be said

as a weakness of propositional language (vs. e.g. pictorial language) – then, this is yet further against “language being at the center in intelligence”. (Stanford Plato discussion)

Maybe you’re confusing him with someone else? :D

Vulkan Forge is such a name, I’m surprised no software has taken it

_{btw u gotta add double spaces after line skips to make it a real line skip}

That’s because it’s almost always a poor retelling.

When someone talks about their dreams, they’re biased; to them, it’s already profound. But to you, it sounds like a disconnected infodump because, well, it usually is.

I was in an apocalypse, then met Stu, he’s 6 foot 4 and had 730 quadrillion molecules in his body, then Gandhi sold me to Justin Trudeau. Woke up in a cold sweat. (add 200 words of filler)

Is this a testament to the importance of writing skill, or insurmountable bias? I suppose a hobbyist writer would have a better chance at keeping one compelled.

Here’s my favorite example of better dream storytelling: tumblr

edit: hopefully less mean

Cute line art but unimaginative storytelling.

“I procrastinated. I need impulse control” is kind of tell-don’t-show compared to some of this author’s other works, e.g. the “I’m early. I’m basically a trendsetter” comic. Shortform typically has to mix wacky and deep to compel (e.g. Strange Planet defamiliarizes the mundane)

Maybe a more interesting presentation here could be:

• 2:40AM Man, I should sleep.
• 3:25AM Okay, I’ll sleep at 3:30.
• 3:32AM Nah, I need to sleep at a round-numbered time. Guess I’ll wait til 4.
• 6:00AM Fuck.

or something more relatably specific/less straightly told

I reserve some wordless music for when my sadness gets critical. That way, they always sound bittersweet without me listening them to death.

• Lourié’s 5 Préludes Fragiles. Makes me feel aware of how easy I am to break at the moment, but also how pretty survivalism through fragility can be.
• Ravel’s Pavane for a Dead Princess. It’s not about a dead princess, just one in the past, but it makes me feel like I’m that princess, rich and sad and stepping around in a bright, cream-beige ballroom. Instead of just solely sad.
• Debussy’s Images. II. Hommage à Rameau. A quiet plaintiveness with occasionally rising energy helps me tend closer to neutrality.
• Stanchinsky’s Prelude in the Lydian Mode. As the n-tuplets get desperate, I get desperate to fix everything. But then the curses stop and we return to a pretty but occasionally sickly quiet. The nonsenses are pinpricks in its floral thoughts.
• Glinka/Balakirev’s The Lark. Reminds me that I’m fluttering, not just floundering.

In any order, but I usually start with the Fragile Preludes (especially the middle few of the set). Lyrical songs are usually for higher energy/mood to me
