Sun God
  • Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.

    We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.

  • Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming
  • It is still a mystery to me why no one ever created software that can automatically pull videogame input config files and rebind for other layouts. I guess it is somewhat niche. At the same time, input config files are all pretty similar and it sounds fairly straightforward as a project.

  • My understanding is that Libre Office is the closest to actually being a good replacement to Excel. Having used Libre Office's Excel equivalent, it does not feel good to use (then again, neither did Excel).

    I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to replace the Microsoft office suite - Microsoft owns the rights to those softwares' workflow paradigms IIRC, and people who have been taught those workflows are not going to abandon them. I mean, we've not even managed to move away from the staggered qwerty layout that was established for typewriters in the 1870's. I think the only options are for schools to either adopt new paradigms (using opensource software as teaching tools) over mass adoption in industry.

  • Nah. Knowing that someone has fucked 100 people, what this 4chan user is talking about, just tells you that that person does not view sex and relationships as a single thing.

    You only get a body count that high by doing one-offs, where you are just looking for sex and aren't trying to turn it into a relationship. That tells you nothing about how good a partner they will be once they actually enter one.

    This assumption that sex should only happen between partners in a relationship is exactly why people jump into self-destructing relationships instead of waiting for a person they actually vibe with.

  • A relationship is not special because you fuck. It is special because you're with a person you mesh well with. No amount of fucking will save a relationship that is not built on mutual compatibility.

  • Soo, showing up in leftist reporter Mussolini's home to debate his current thoughts about a new type of revolution, bringing a gun just in case. I don't know if there's any amount of distraction you could subject Benito to in order to prevent him from thinking up fascism. You'd either have to make him realize it's stupid or kill him.

    Addendum: don't forget to practice with your handgun beforehand, and bring something to smash a windshield beforehand. This is why there were 8 failed assassination attempts on him.

  • Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn't like what was going on, and bailed.

  • Day 38: it's killed Jennings. We have to get it back under control before it's too late.
  • I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It'd be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.

  • No, hostile is exactly the word. These are not tactless mistakes - no one is living under a rock and unaware of the conflict of gender. They've either digested transphobic rhetoric and accepted it or they've understood the obtuseness of the binary and course corrected. Frankly, if you haven't course corrected, you deserve hostility from the trans community imo.

    The only reason someone would be asking what sex you are is if they are wanting to play cloak and dagger romance, where you never state your intentions and still somehow expect to get into the other person's pants. That's not a healthy way to romance and never was, and is likely a big reason for why such a large proportion of people get sexually assaulted in the US.

    The issue of trans people in sports is a bullshit non-issue and has been for a while. It is exclusively a talking point to try and get laymen to agree that trans people should be regulated. It's conclusion is the policing of all women's bodies. It's already been debunked to the moon and back, so if you don't give a shit enough to even look up how stupid your claim is, You don't deserve any amount of respect or tact in this conversation.

  • A based [Rule]ponse
  • The question "are you male or female" in any convo outside a medical screening is also rude (and kind of a poor question in that context). The question framing is also explicitly hostile towards not-binary identification, as it's assuming that the person's biological sex matters more than their own self-perception.You should instead just ask their pronouns or how they identify.

    It's passive aggressiveness responded in kind with passive aggressiveness. The questioner also keeps pushing, so the gun is a very explicit and aggressive "BTFO and let me live my life, stop trying to force me into one of your boxes"

  • That's pretty common actually. It's called IWB CC (Inside Waist Band Concealed Carry). There's also AIWB (Appendix Inside Waistband), sometimes just called Appendix carry. The big issue is that it's not inside a holster. The holster gaurds the trigger so that an ND is more difficult. Holsters also have retention so you're less likely to have a gun drop, where the gun falls off your person unexpectedly.

  • No Kings on Presidents Day
  • The exact line of the preamble of The United States Constitution is "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,..."

    It's a direct allusion to the United States' foundational document, and rephrasing that allusion does not make it less nationalist.

    It's also a document which many US citizens strongly identify with, and they are invoking that phrase explicitly to gain rapoire and support from those US citizens. Rephrasing "We the People" would only dilute that virtue signal and lower its efficacy.
