It’d be much easier if they weren’t human.

Insofar as gender is a social construct and potentially unique to a person, one could say that gender’s maximum file size would be equal to an entity’s conceptualization of their gender. While you might be able to parse out the “gender” portion of a standard human brain by mapping the various neural connections’ patterns that form the basic archetypal building blocks that eventually model gender through their activation in series, that excludes the possibility of a non-human brain that could have a much more defined, complex conceptualization of gender. While there is likely an upper limit given inherent physical limitations in the emergent phenomenon of sapience, there is much yet to be explored in this topic.
Oh definitely, it’s not like Lemmy is overflowing with it and I can’t imagine the author is the one posting here. I’m just saying that if you’re sorting by hot or active you increase the odds of seeing content with these spelling mistakes or silly errors by calling it out, so instead of the presumed effect the corrector wanted, i.e. either getting the author to change it, the poster not bother, or having it seen fewer people, it generally has the opposite effect.
Spelling mistakes getting called out increases engagement. I’m not saying it was done on purpose in this instance, but in general it does make sense that you’ll see more posts with spelling mistakes because they’ll rise to the top. The only winning move is not to play.
While I can acknowledge that you should judge individual articles or sources on their own merit, it appears there is some concern regarding The Nordic Times as a neo-nazi mouthpiece. Food for thought.
Do Buffalo buffalo, Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo?
Usually that’s a wide-brim hat, especially after the last wispy vestiges of your hair cross the rainbow bridge.
I love the strands of spider silk in the last panel.
I’ve had entire dreams in the command line, which was fairly incredible to me at the time because I still couldn’t read the characters consistently, and was only taken aback at the strangeness of such after the fact. I had a sense of what the commands meant and I knew what I was doing (hacking the planet), but while I couldn’t read it I knew what the output felt like. Dreams are weird.
I think that makes the meme more accurate, it’s almost not mansplaining if it’s not also subtly but confidently wrong.
Wasn’t it because they didn’t have any Will? Their entire drive to do anything was completely enslaved by whoever was controlling them: as long as they were controlled by an evil willpower they’d also be evil.
And honestly, my understanding is that the multiplayer games aren’t very social: they’re almost always using ranked but otherwise random matchmaker settings that mean instead of socializing and getting to know people, you meet your single serving friends and then barely ever see them again.
I feel like using quartz as a gastrolith would be pretty basic, like you might as well eat those silica packets or chew on some glass if you’re going that direction. Some nice gneiss would likely be preferable, much more cultured at least.
You’re not wrong, there’s certainly some bias here, but not sure what the intent was, if there was any or if it was just not thinking it through all the way. I know I’ve certainly forgotten components in projects that after review I didn’t know how I’d missed or that in hindsight were crucial.
Most of the North American indigenous languages have less than 500,000 speakers; there are a couple exceptions like Aymara which is on there, and it looks like there’re a few exceptions to the “nothing under 500k” speakers rule, I suppose out of curiosity? But yeah there are millions of languages that didn’t make the cut. American historical linguistics also doesn’t seem to be an area of research that’s had much success as far as cohesive theories or visibility, and as it happens colonial genocide tends to destroy native cultures, so it’s disappointing but not surprising that it’s hard to find evidence.
I might be content, but definitely not original, more like a repost at maybe 30% the original pixelation with half a dozen watermarks from various sites with bad crops.
My thought was that Geralt and Ciri’s stories were over or decided, and I’m disappointed they didn’t find a way to do a Witcher story either in the future or past that enabled you to pick your own gender, appearance, Witcher school, or whatever else, maybe with creative use of the trial of the grasses or something.
I’ll happily play as Ciri to revisit the universe and maybe some familiar characters, but I just wish they’d done something newer or more original.
And 30 years after LASIK, you’d be incredibly lucky if your eyes hadn’t gotten worse to the point you’d need glasses anyway.
The closer you look at identity, the less defined and distinct it appears. I’m either the entire river with its myriad sources and tributaries or I’m whatever sliver of water flowing in its path. It doesn’t much matter either way. I think the meaning of such a thing is more distributed across the minds capable of understanding it, as it is with language, a sort of gaussian distribution whose peak is the average understanding, which shifts depending on what part of the local extelligence you have access to.
I’m apparently both the shirtless guy (Gentoo) and the arch user. But I’m also the Kali user and Windows guy occasionally. It probably averages out.
