I'm a student so, yes and no?

just like lifting weights. Spot the people who are in danger, let the people who are pushing themselves do their thing. No matter how easy it would be for you to intervene.

If you could instantly become anything, with no rules or consequences, what would you pick? Don't shut anything down; there are no wrong answers. Allow yourself the freedom to explore.

What's the point of imagining a change with no consequences? Isn't that effectively the same as no change at all?

Don't make their salary your argument for why you deserve a raise, make it the target to ground your expectations from the negotiation. And point out the discrepancy if they lowball you

6 months left to fuck it we ball
18 months left to develop brain
30 months left before our lives end one way or another

And if the discrepancy is too much, you have a great example to point to at your next negotiation

If I were a 4d being for a day, I would rotate my enemies in 3d space until they're exactly where they started but a mirrored version of themselves, so it appears to them as if I've mirrored their entire existence.

They would slowly die of malnutrition as the chiral molecules in their diet (such as glucose) would no longer meet the requirements of their body

Being a defeatist isn't helping anyone. Gerrymandering is a problem but it isn't bulletproof, and broad changes to voting patterns will overcome gerrymandering. Those district borders are drawn from historical voting data, which will become inaccurate if you charge your own status from non-voter to voter

Texas is more purple than you think. PLEASE vote and PLEASE spread the word that every vote matters, because Trump supporters are far less defeatist than Biden supporters. Don't give them the illusion that your state is any more Republican than it already is by not voting.

let me put it this way:

Texas will likely NOT flip blue this year for the presidential election. The presidency is not the only thing on the ballot. Other positions are easier to flip blue, which will give democrats incumbency, prior experience, etc. that will make it easier for them to hold higher offices later. If you're going to foster up-and-coming politicians whose beliefs align more closely with your own, you have to vote for them early in their careers. So you have to vote. So you might as well make your state LOOK a little more purple so fewer doubters choose not to vote next time around

"in 3d space" refers to the enemies, not the rotation. I should have been more clear

You have made infinite people unhappy by forcing them to change rooms. But Sisyphus is happy so who cares about the rest of them

She hasn't done anything to lose her job as VP so probably, yeah

Maryland just works TOO well

There are 6 genders, Your can be up, down, strange, charmed, a top or a bottom.

Though if you're really anti-establishment you can also be the exact opposite to any of those.

Let this be a lesson: if you try to forcibly pry open the gates of DRM hell and let software be free, you best let it be truly free and only money off it from the donations of your supporters. Don't be like yuzu and monetize the living hell out of your emulator. Don't stuff it with telemetry, don't hide releases behind a patreon paywall.

That all being said, fuck Nintendo.

If you answered "yes" to "Are you good at spotting Loss memes" before realizing this meme was Loss, you are not good at spotting Loss memes

Bold of you to assume the hardware wasn't also stolen

Note that anti-racist doesn't mean "Racist against the race that isn't currently the victim", and it doesn't mean "giving the targeted population special privileges in unrelated fields, to make up for it". It means "Calling out all prejudice/hate when it happens, and addressing and reversing systemic biases that keep the underprivileged people underprivileged"

If one can't agree with this description of being anti-racist, they're either not helping bring about the equality they may claim to want, or they're actually just a racist themselves and lack either empathy, perspective, or both

Gay women are called lesbians because the woman credited with being the first historically confirmed homosexual woman, the Greek poet Sappho, was from Lesbos.

The title text in papyrus was pretty impactful

None of the rest of the film was though

I see no downside to living forever because if the heat death of the universe is truly the eternity I'm doomed to, then I'll eventually become so deprived of sensory input that there would be no difference between life and death.

No but by refusing to retire when Obama was still able to appoint her replacement (because she believed Hillary would win) she inadvertently allowed Trump to pick her replacement

I'm so down for this for items that I don't need indefinitely. It reduces waste.

I know Aperture Labs is portrayed as horribly corrupt and unethical when compared to real-life science, but I feel like this is better than real companies because it's doing exactly the same thing but with full transparency.

That field could be used to grow a different crop than grass, which would use less water per calorie of human food produced

Fragile ego. Become truly indifferent to pronouns to destroy all gender roles and eliminate the ability for anyone to be transphobic by normalizing any self expression for any person.

Dude will evolve to become a personality archetype moreso than a gender-associated noun.

If this is torment, how would you describe what those children went through?

It is harm reduction to vote for the less fascist of the two fascist candidates with a chance of winning.

Yep. Which is why FOSS development and support of FOSS developers is so important

It's almost as though the beauty of open source is that it doesn't matter who contributes, we all benefit from the result because we can all check each other's work and all use what we want

So do you guys pronounce it git or jit
