I have a cousin who’s vegan and I was legit curious about this, and she literally said exactly that - “the bees can leave if they want”, but from what I understand there are other vegans who disagree

Oh fuck, looks like I gotta switch again…

Lots of firefox mentions, no mention of Vivaldi tho…?

There’s a video, maybe not my favorite, but I have watched it twice, and it’s in the 24 hour range. The one where Breath of the Wild was first 100%'ed in under 24 hours. Really like it bc it’s from before the discovery of windbombs (the trick where they launch themselves great distances using the bomb rune), so it’s slower, more methodical. It’s quite relaxing, but yeah it isn’t something to watch in one sitting, even though the video was made in one sitting.

Why you say nun but not use the nun emoji 🧕🏻

This was a half joke, the lack of male role model being solved by transitioning is kinda incidental, though it may have played a role because I didn’t identify with what I observed as the “male role”

I never had a good male role model growing up, so instead of being an asshole like my dad or anyone from church I just transitioned

I once tried to fall asleep to erotica on the theory that I’d have erotic dreams instead of nightmares but I couldn’t fall asleep so I listened to my sex playlist instead

Actually, earthquake magnitude can be projected to negative numbers. It’s well defined but it stops describing earthquakes. For instance, a -3 magnitude earthquake is the energy released by a cat knocking your cell phone off of a nightstand. (see page 290 of this book). Pretty sure the others are also logarithmic scales which are well-defined for any negative number. It just so happens that those negative numbers don’t describe anything we care to describe with those scales.

Nonlinear measures are used for

1. Brightness of lights
2. Loudness of noises
3. Magnitude of earthquakes

Why not temperature?

Oh so cool! Are you native Morocco, or just visiting? I hear people there are so nice

Well, online English speaking communities are gonna have a bias towards native English speakers. Obviously some will browse these communities because they’re the largest, but while machine translation makes communication much easier, it’s still more difficult than with speakers of your own language. And most native English speakers who aren’t also native speakers of a language mutually intelligible with Hindi live in north America. (I’m excluding South Asia because a sizable fraction of the online South Asian communities communicate in the pre-colonization languages, mostly Hindi). Most such people have a shared cultural heritage that is largely European with a British slant.

When you think about it it’s not an unreasonable question, when you interpret it to be asking how many of us are outside of the cultural influence of the anglosphere

Oof, get well soon!

Yeah I went out, pretty much everything was open except for the street vendor I normally get my oranges from. I guess Christmas just isn’t as big a deal in China as it was back home - still saw Christmas decorations at a handful of stores and restaurants - my tea said on the cup “Merry Christmas” and had an explanation of what Christmas was on the back lol
