DogThatWentGorp [he/him, they/them]

Just spitballing, quality will vary:

-The game gives you $1,000,000 but you have to not make a cringy CCP-1984 fanfiction comment full of shit you read from a Washington Post opinion piece in a reddit thread after seeing one (1) person speak Mandarin for 30 seconds.

-CoD but the entire campaign is the Soviet all women’s tank brigade I saw someone talking about in a comment yesterday.

-An MMO but you can only be black with curly hair styles. It’s a perfectly average game in every other way and it doesn’t acknowledge the character customization limitations at all. There’s only one white NPC and he’s the most offensive depiction you could conjure up (this requires play testing to narrow down).

-CBT outpatient simulator and it’s all dialogue trees of people sitting around like a David Cage game baybeeeeee

-We took the script the AAA writing/art team did and then randomized literally all the genders and ethnicities. As a kicker, we reveal we did this a year later with the original art and show that 80% of the cast were originally white guys.

-War game that faithfully simulates late bronze-age phalanx tactics that is, accordingly, breathlessly homosexual. The entirety of the conversation in camp is what you would expect of a bunch of bros out ready to die and trying to get their long spears penetrated into something. I want the player visibly sick from so many dick jokes.

-Celeste 2

I saw someone else bring it up but it’s worth repeating:

Beekeeping is for honeybees which aren’t necessarily native bees or even the dominant pollinator for certain species of plants (mosquitos are pollinators in wetlands, for example; they only feed on blood when breeding iirc and it’s only the females).

Restoring native pollenator populations is the most ideal since those are the species that tend to promote the native plants through reciprocal systems and thus the rest of a local ecology etc etc.

/How/ that gets solved is its own bag I wish I could say more about but my knowledge on that is very limited.

Idk where you’re from or where in the arctic circle you’d be going but I’d go with China just to not feel insane for 2 years in regards to the political rhetoric around me, personally.

Plus you’d probably get to see more varried stuff over that time with the transit system and everything I’d imagine? Deserts to the north, mountains and forests to the west, plains and sea to the south and east? (I think).

And someone already mentioned it but you’d be in like a PERRRRFECT spot to check out a lot of China’s really important and old historical sites. If you could take a weekend trip out to Louyang or something like that that’d rule. We’re talking like- 2,000 / 3,000 year old stuff. Terracotta army, birth of Confucianism, 3 Kingdoms era sites. Banger stuff as far as historical sites go.

Obviously I’m working with limited details of your sitch but that’s what comes to mind for me, anyways.

I wish you tolerable cold weather until then my friend 🙏

Yeah I get this too but no history of Raynaud’s.

It’s funny though because now that I think about it, I haven’t had that feeling nearly as bad since I started doing more manual labor outdoors a few years ago? No idea what to make of that. My feet still stay pretty cold though.

But yeah I know that exact feeling of wearing gloves even to work on the computer.

Vampire and cryptlord I’ve been using lately too. Not even to be mean necessarily it just rolls off the tongue and fits.

Also came in here for Animal tbh.

So my understanding from people who have been in physics either making YouTube videos or just talking to me:

The headlines are usually over-sensationalized. String theory especially, to this day, hasn’t made an experimental prediction irrc. In fact string theory specifically I don’t think CAN be tested because of how it’s laid out? It’s got math to it but not a whole lot you can check. Doesn’t make it bad I guess but it just hasn’t produced results (yet… maybe).

But theoretical physics works very well and you can have it because physics is just math. So much fucking math. But just math none-the-less.

What makes theoretical physics valuable, then, is that it guides experimental physics.

Good example: Einstein did a lot of math and figured out the universe /should/ bend with gravity. And you could check that by seeing if light bends with gravity. Then they figured out “okay if we look at Venus next to the sun, it should look like it’s in the wrong place according to the math we have now, but it should look like the right place according to the math Einstein did” and BAM it did. The sun bent the light coming from Venus.

If Einstein didn’t do the theoretical work, not very likely anyone would’ve thought to potentially damage a telescope by looking at Venus next to the sun when they could just look at it any other time… Or something like that. Mightve been Mercury or a comet or something.

So anyways: if the theoretical physics can explain all existing observations and it can predict new observations, then all that math can be used for new theoretical work to tell scientists to look at things they usually wouldn’t bother with because some NERD did a lot more math and saw something kinda funny.

There are definitely theoretical parts of other studies too like that, but physics gets its own very very very definite Theoretical section because it’s literally just a bunch of math problems to begin with. You still need to confirm that your math is right through observation, but it’s still math ultimately.

I feel like there’s a whole pipeline of really bad dvd or blueray repressings of things they just put out there to try and make a quick buck.

Something has to go in the 5 dollar ball-pit style bin at Walmart though. I remember when they used to have that for VHS tapes in dollar stores too. At least men and black 2 for 99c is something you could have on in the background with a plugin VCR-CRT combo on the table while you cooked or whatever.

Breaking: Scientists unveil 20,000 y/o ice mummy “perfectly preserved” in the Eurasian Steppe. What they found from a CT scan of his stomach was described as “shocking” and “made it difficult to imagine how an ancient human on this kind of diet could live to such an old age”.

IKs and light banding fixes are looking good but I’m too scared of breaking my momentum in order to update and fix whatever breaks because of that right now ;-;

No one will clean the keys because of woke I’m afraid l.

Hes packing a hell of a counterweight to his advantage if those tennis pics are anything to go by.

“Folks we’re launching an executive order packet tonight that makes it illegal to have touchpad bowling alley computers. It’s only mechanical keyboards. It’s very big. Very exciting. You can eat your chicken wings on the lanes, they’re very good, very good folks, as MUCH sauce as you want without screwing up the screen.”

I had a coworker once that just use Dr. In place of a Ms/Mr on an office plaque.

When I spoke with them though I referred to them as “your grace” but we were friends so that last part doesn’t necessarily apply here lmao. We both agreed it was a very funny way around the problem though.

Could even use the recommended AI usage to demonstrate the downsides. Get it to describe a room without a bicycle in it or try to count some letters. Number of states in Mexico with the letter A. Get it to be bad at math. Any task it decidedly can’t do and explain why IG.

IF that’s what you do. I always personally chose malicious compliance but idk what reasons you would or wouldn’t have for getting good marks on this essay.

Depends on his frequency to Gilroy. It’s entirely possible.

He’s some kind of weasel or stoat that was turned into a man by the spell of a witch.

I think it’s really just a matter of having a younger person styled up like a 60-something. Which is something fash gravitates to for obvious reasons.

The comb on homie’s hair here makes the slight hairline recession more pronounced. The mustn’t-stache shouldn’t be there. The facial expression is causing massive brow lines and other things that just kinda look like wrinkles instead.

And who knows how the photographer is handling the lighting which can do a lootttt of things.

It’s like they tried so so so so so hard and all they did was ignore any good aesthetic choice or strength they coulda leaned into.

Looks simultaneously 15 and 48 years old.
