To be fair, the national parks are really beautiful. But you need a car to even reach these parks, then drive into a massive parking lot -- really depressing.
That's fried rice, not white rice steamed or cooked in a rice cooker. I can imagine putting ketchup on a nigiri and immediately getting scolded in Japan.
I agree, we should probably trust the doctors more than the crazies on Facebook or wherever they get their nonsense. But I think it's also dangerous to place blind faith in doctors, who themselves are susceptible to misinformation and advertising. Oxycontin adverts appeared in NEJM, doctors went "wow I should prescribe that", and that didn't go well.
I think trusting Science is most important. Read peer reviewed articles and read them critically.
You can't even share much about this game without ruining it for someone else. I love this game so much but it's really difficult to get someone else to play it as well.
I'm a queer person in a same sex relationship for the longest time. Honestly even hearing the term LGBT (without the plus, without anything else) makes me kinda happy. Granted I'm in a place where acceptance is barely normalised.
I'm not even aware of the longer variants myself; I personally just use "queer" in describing myself (see above) and my friends. Even the aces I know seem to just call themselves queer and don't really seem bothered by the lack of explicit asexual inclusion in LGBT or LGBT+ or LGBTQ+.
I don't think we should get really stuck on terminology, to the point where we get into arguments with strangers online. I believe labels are important for helping us understand ourselves, but only to a certain point. Either way, queerness to me is quite all-encompassing, so representation here is not an issue? Maybe you could educate me on this.
The flipside being: I am aware that I would like to be more specific in describing myself to people, but it's difficult to explain bisexuality to others (even queer folk!). I use queer as a shortcut. I don't really fault them for not knowing the ins and outs of my sexuality though. I'm just queer at first glance. Wanna know more? Fantastic. Lemme tell you about the bicycle.
I get it's upsetting to kinda "dilute" who we are at times. But being antagonistic about it isn't really effective in educating, imo. These people are trying. Let them try, fuck up a little, and then gently nudge them in the correct direction.
Ngl seeing nasi goreng threw me for a loop
Me putting paper into the autoclave for the sake of the environment
Boggles my mind when people claim that using mechanic present in the game is not playing the game "as intended".
Who do you think put the feature there? The pesky magical game dev that spawns at 2 am to code in a mimic tear?
I'd like to think I'm an avid reader (and gamer) as well. I view both highly and both have their strengths.

Video games shine in terms of player interactivity. I genuinely felt visceral, strong emotions by simply having to press the square button 3 times in TLOU2. Bashing someone's head in is the only way to proceed. The music gets more distorted, the screen itself becomes blurry -- I felt as Ellie felt. Distraught, upset, angry, and everything else in between.
I felt the acceptance that I have been honing in my countless loops of Outer Wilds when I finally pulled the system's "life support" out. Flying through space one last time while the music echoes this final journey really made me feel things.
I'd summarise the edge video games have as "This is what you (the player) have done. You have agency. Deal with the consequences of your own actions, or reap the benefits."
A huge disclaimer, I know that the story is already established in the writers room. I'm not saying that games allow you to craft your own story. I'm saying that they allow you to craft your own experience.
Of course, great writers can accomplish the same. I love Atwood's writing in particular, and she does conjure up wonderful emotions. But you always feel for someone or something. You don't have any agency in what happens, so emotions tend to be dampened as well. That's my personal opinion anyway, feel free to disregard it!
With all due respect, I'm all for FOSS but DAWs don't really have a good alternative. Recommending Audacity over FL/Live/Logic like saying Paint is a good free alternative for Photoshop. Doesn't really make sense.
Iirc the only DAW that might barely be enough is LMMS which runs on Linux.
The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.
These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.
Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".
Great! Time to forgo every other aspect of my life while I grind out A20s
You got this! Remember that STS rewards picking the option that immediately helps you, instead of trying to over-engineer some dream deck.
Steamed? Nah you gotta stir fry that shit for maximum flavor. Or pop some in the oven/air fryer to get delicious crispy broccoli.
Good lord this gave me a fucking stroke
I tried behind the bastards, and really liked the first few (older?) episodes. But it soon felt too shallow, especially when the main host isn't speaking -- imo the other guests were only there to provide quips. Personal opinion, of course. Maybe this got better?
I switched over to QAA to scratch this itch for laughing at conspiracy theorists.
Tunic is amazing! Although the combat feels very clunky (maybe I'm spoiled by sekiro).
Thankfully, you can just turn on reduced difficulty, since the beauty of the game lies not in the slow combat, but the puzzles and puzzles within those puzzles. Also the main character is adorable.
HOW?
Are you on your final korok seed at least
You hate animals thus avoid them at all costs?

Yea what kinda response is this? Did the OP reply to the wrong thread?
Holy shit that's insanely cool actually. But yea academia does get kinda ridiculous sometimes, I'm glad you found your passion for music instead!
Are you a post-doc now? If so, congrats! If you dont mind me asking, what exactly was your research about (not a physics/mathy person so ELI5 would be appreciated)
Is there some gambler challenge that you're trying to clear? I gave up at the blackjack one and shot the dealer
Wait why were you being downvoted
Excuse me, I see a fellow IDM enjoyer. Any recommendations for me?
Congrats! Yea A1 is easier cause you get more elites which directly equates to more relics.
Time to climb the ascension levels now?
I will pay even better money for a dragonborn's tail to sit comfortably within the confines of my cloak
"let that sink in"
I didn't get the joke either.
Seconded! They often invite guests over as well, who are pretty well versed in their own field. Funny British humour with 4 facts in an hour? Sign me up
Bro I'm bisexual but I just tell people I'm queer. It's all encompassing and I'm lazy and it's only one syllable.
While I always remove the minimaps, may I ask someone more experienced than me why minimaps are even a thing in VSCode? What am I supposed to see? 1 pixel tall gibberish?
Hmm I'm gonna reply to this against my better judgement.
I think you're absolutely right that inclusivity is important. You're still skirting around two issues:
You're also right that it's no one's job to police how you use terminology. I think the rest here are taking issue with how you are communicating this (and ironically enough, policing others on terminology).
Either way, I think it might be worth examining why the response to someone's ignorance felt so visceral and rage-fuelled. Not saying it's a bad thing, we could all use more inclusivity in our lives! But hopefully we could take a step back and ask ourselves why do we react a certain way? It's a good exercise to understand ourselves a bit better.
Have a nice day, yea. And have an upvote too! Sick of the downvotes in this thread.
This is super helpful!
Ideally? Have public transport that runs to these national parks. Japan has train stations that bring you right up to the foot of a mountain -- I'm almost very certain that one train station requires less space than a carpark (thinking in terms of capacity here). Of course this requires a massive revamp in infrastructure, but one can wish. There are also some buses that feed into these parks, which is fantastic, give me more! As a tourist, I'll gladly give these buses more money than whatever car rental company I have to use.
P. S. I think the immediate short-circuiting to "guess we won't have forests" is kinda worrying.
I struggle to find recent publications on SciHub, y'know, to report them to the hardworking journals that tirelessly implemented paywalls.
Any ideas how I can find papers that are within the past 6 months?
You're right, and an upvote for you. I've seen colleagues who encounter a 90% drop in efficacy when making the leap to Phase 1 trials (and this is excluding safety concerns!).
It is rigorous and thank everything the Process is put in place. But I specifically used Oxycontin as an example for a pertinent reason. Rigour isn't applied to everyone equally, and I think that itself underscores a need to think critically.
He was a bit busy trying to not form an opinion about people who are smelly and don't take care of themselves (yes, an actual line from Meditations)
