That would work if you were rich and friends with government officials. I don’t like your chances otherwise.

Let’s pretend that OP is trying to find things outside their current wheelhouse, or wants to sample from recommendations to try and discover what they like. Not everyone is a fixed point with immutable preferences. Some people actually prefer broad recommendations so they can expand their tastes.

Are you aware that things exist which appeal to wide audiences? That some things are generally liked by most people? I can recommend things like that without having to be aware of your specific tastes.

I think the problem is on your end. It’s extremely easy to recommend a book. Watch:

You should read Ancillary Justice.

Unless the pressure differential causes it to escape the moons gravity well it would probably stabilize at some point before dumping the whole atmosphere, right?

Every single one of you sound like you’ve bought into a cult. I don’t need to spit out some kid to feel purposeful and content, just appreciate that I’m visiting to give you a break from parenting and let it go.

Or I can go visit my sister and play with my niblings but not have to deal with any of the downsides of having children.

the queue is a gag; you’re dissecting the frog. it’s not expressing a genuine desire to wait in a queue to murder elon musk. no person who has a genuine desire to violently murder someone is going to patiently wait in a queue for their turn to, what, double, triple murder him? it’s a joke about how a lot of people hate him. i think maybe reading toxic individualism into this is a bit overreaching, but whatever preach on i guess.

this is a comment about a comic where The Purge is a reality. it was not an attempt serious revolutionary planning. and I don’t see how lining up with hundreds of others to kill one of the oligarchy is somehow representative of “toxic individualism”

It’ll put some healthy fear into the ones remaining, and nobody said it had to stop there. it’s just a nice place to get started.

Can’t miss an opportunity to form a nice orderly queue, of course.

That counterpoint says that the only CoC he would write is “don’t be an asshole” and refutes the transphobia misgendering shit by posting the wider context where the guy is explicitly an immediate, unprovoked asshole to the person for having pronouns in their username. Tries to claim that the trans person being mocked “started it” by misgendering first, when the person in question simply assumed a gender to prove a point about the utility of pronoun tags, unlike the guy who deliberately chose to use the wrong pronouns to address someone, like an asshole.

This man is a clown fuck hyprland.

if i had money to pay for a VPN i’d just use something like real debrid. and if my ISP is middlemanning my https certs then a VPN probably isn’t going to help much.

Because my ISP gets mad about torrents, I don’t usually rewatch things, I don’t have to wait for the download to finish, I can do it on my tablet, and I don’t want to deal with cleaning up old video files every time I need to make room for the next 100+GB game install.

Deletions have to propagate. Comments I deleted immediately after posting them still show up hours later for people on other instances. Archivers and crawlers have as many opportunities to record your deleted comment as there are lemmy instances federated to where you posted it.

Yeah you’d have to perceive it as being lit from sunlight under shade, cloud cover, or possibly a skylight. I doubt it has much to do with an intuitive understanding of rayleigh scattering and more just that, in person, your brain would have more temporal context and a wider visual field to model the lighting with than what the image gives you. The floor and the ceiling would be blue in your peripheral and you’d have more angles and depth perception to work with so the distance between and relative strength of the yellow light and white light source would be more obvious.

its because the background gives the impression of bright yellow incandescent lighting but in order to see the dress as white gold you have to assume it’s under entirely different (low diffuse white) lighting conditions than the rest of the image implies

That’s fair. I just assume most people who reflexively insult JS are like that usually because they’ve written something in it, rather than having dealt with the many vulnerabilities and annoyances browsers have made possible with it

Browser permissiveness didn’t create implicit type coercion.

Not as hard, I agree but reimplementing just CSS sounds like a very special level of hell.
