They could get a .ck domain instead and move to queer.as.fu.ck, no?
Sorry for the question, but where are you from? I learned this with my mother, so I don’t know if it’s something common here (Brazil) or something that she picked from her Polish or Italian relatives.
That’s surprisingly accurate, as people here are highlighting (it makes geometrical sense when dealing with complex numbers).
My nephew once asked me this question. The way that I explained it was like this:
It’s a different analogy but it makes intuitive sense, even for kids. And it works nice as mnemonic too.
Another important detail is that Digg v4 pissed off most of the userbase, so the impact was pretty much immediate. Reddit APIcalypse pissed off only power users instead; the impact will only come off later (sadly likely past IPO).
Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.
Dunno in Brazil as a whole but at least in my city, school uniforms are default. They’re simply taken for granted, not a “conservative vs. liberal” matter. Each school picks its own, but it usually boils down to a shirt, baggy pants, and a jacket (most schools cut you some slack on really cold days to swap it with a warmer one).
Most “rules of thumb” become awful advice when used indiscriminately.
People assign slightly different meanings to the same words. You need to acknowledge this to understand what they say.
Words also change meaning depending on the context.
When you still don’t get what someone else said, it’s often more useful to think that you’re lacking a key piece of info than to assume that the other person does.
Hell is paved with good intentions. This piece of advice is popular, but still not heard enough.
Related to the above: if someone in your life is consistently rushing towards conclusions, based on little to no information, minimise the impact of that person in your life.
Have at least one recipe using leftovers of other recipes. It’ll reduce waste.
Alcohol vinegar is bland, boring, and awful for cooking. But it’s a great cleaning agent.
Identify what you need to keep vs. throw away. Don’t “default” this indiscriminately, analyse it on a per case basis.
The world does not revolve around your belly button and nature won’t “magically” change because of your feelings.
You can cultivate herbs in a backyard. No backyard? Flower pots. No flower pots? Old margarine pot. (Check which herbs grow well where you live.)
I usually twist this into “memento mori, quoque uiuere” (remember [that you’ll] die, also [that you’ll] live).
Like, not trying to become worm food full of regrets is nice and dandy, but remember that you’ll suffer the consequences of a few of your actions while you’re still alive.
I don’t even recall pronouncing it in loud voice. In English I simply say “what you see is what you get”, and in Portuguese or Italian I rephrase it. (Although I remember at least one person calling it ['vizi 'vige] in Portuguese. And I was, like… “what?”)
What else is it supposed to be?
Mine are “lol” and “lmao”. I get what they originally meant, and I get why most people use them nowadays. It’s just that they often signal “I have nothing to contribute, but still expect people to read my crap”.
As a second (third?) place, “WYSIWYG”. If you’re going to coin such verbose acronym, might as well sub it with an actual word, like, dunno, “transparent”.
It’s used so frequently for offences that I’m not surprised at that.
Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion
It would undo the myths, I think. Morality and religious practices might survive depending on how much they rely on said myths.
and a bit of science
It would perhaps demote a lot of theories back to hypotheses, but that’s actually good IMO. A good scientist should embrace the doubt and treat it as a respectable enemy, not hide from it like a catfish in the mud.
The five missing ones are:
Bonus: the original version of the 8th was
The current 8th (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour) is a forgery. Some assumer got called out over and over because of the older 8th, since he really liked to make shit up, so he restricted it into near uselessness. Source: I’m Lucifer, I know it. :^)
I meant “decrypted”, not “decompiled”. (When I wrote the above I was sleep-deprived.)
I mostly pick visual novels apart, to know how to reach one or another specific route. From that I’m somewhat used to read Python code - or at least Ren’Py code.
Given that I stole this from a programming community, it shouldn’t be too far off from true.
(Caveat lector: I’m not in the IT industry but I’m often messing with bash scripts and decompiled python code.)
Let’s go simpler: what if your instance was allowed to copy the fed/defed lists from other instances, and use them (alongside simple Boolean logic plus if/then statements) to automatically decide who you’re going to federate/defederate with? That would enable caracoles and fedifams for admins who so desire, but also enable other organically grown relations.
For example. Let’s say that you just joined the federation. And there are three instances that you somewhat trust:
Then you could set up your defederation rules like this:
Of course, that would require distinguishing between manual and automatic fed/defed. You’d be able to use the manual fed/defed from other instances to create your automatic rules, to avoid deadlocks like “Alice is blocking it because Bob is blocking it, and Bob is blocking it because Alice is doing it”.
Aaaaah. I really, really wanted to complain about the excessive amount of keys.
(My comment above is partially a joke - don’t take it too seriously. Even if a new key was added it would be a bit more clutter, but not that big of a deal.)
Damn, that’s sad. Thank you for the info.
