traditionally a "ceasefire" means you cease firing, but technically they didn't call for a ceasestrike so it's fine

the problem with fantasyposting on here is the amount of people who try to "um actually" you on the basis that your post doesn't comply with the rules/mechanics/worldbuilding of dungeons and dragons

The only reason mass automation of labor can ever be seen as a "good ending" is if you're already a billionaire, or you've 1. already given up on life and don't mind starving to death in the streets in <5 years and 2. You've become so misanthropic that millions dying alongside you is an acceptable risk to justify your beliefs

Anon I hope you are wearing clothes handsewn from handwoven cloth, and that this is one of like two or three outfits you own in total! If you don't, might it be because automation has upsides for the non-billionaires after all?

You can't just concede that a small minority is gonna capture all productivity gains. This is not a law of nature, it is a question of policy, contingent on power struggle between the classes. Why are you capitulating in advance?

Two Adults, One Bed: Probably Some Sex Occurs

Two Adults, Two Beds: "Can you believe they won't even book us two rooms?" "Fucking cheapskates" "Hey I'd fuck a cheapskate" "This is bad foreplay dialogue" "By fanfic standards it's not terrible" "You know who else has terrible standards?"

Three Adults, One Bed: *sigh* "Who wants to be in the middle this time?"

Three Adults, Two Beds: Hey That's Not Fair

3 adults 2 beds was one of the most uncomfortable situations I've been in, and I was the one with a bed to myself

leopold vietoris (of the mayer-vietoris sequence, and vietoris-rips complex), a very important topologist, lived from 1891-2002, making him the oldest verified austrian man in history. he fought in WW1! and he was a mountaineer! he wrote a math paper at age 103!

Screwworm Is Back In Texas Cattle—Is DOGE To Blame?

The government cut funding for the New World screwworm monitoring program and then reportedly ignored ranchers warning the parasite was work

giant redwood trees really are so cool, they just have something incredibly special going on. it's hard to describe if you haven't seen them

[pathetic-gamer]

a certain je ne sequoia, if you will

[pathetic-gamer]

if this post has taught me anything, it's that a great number of people very proudly do not know there's a distinction between "giant redwood" and other redwoods

[elbiotipo]

More than "here in the Southern Hemisphere we have inverted seasons :)" thing, which is TECHNICALLY true, I would go a step further and encourage to think about that "much of the world does not exactly has a spring-summer-fall-winter season sequence as they show in cartoons"

[paperdragonsong]

I will scream about this to anyone who listens forever. AUSTRALIA DOES NOT HAVE "ENGLISH SEASONS BUT BACKWARDS" and the insistence that it does creates a massive layer of alienation from the natural world.

I never really realised how much difference it makes until I went to England and realised that here the change of seasons is an obvious, visible, physical change in the world. Like, everything REALLY IS orange and foggy in autumn! In spring there are flowers EVERYWHERE, so much more than any other season, and the trees really do have all blossom and no leaves. Even if it doesn't snow, in winter there's frost all the time and the trees are bare and the sky is visibly greyer all the time. You don't need to be told "this date is the first day of spring", you can SEE IT (although this is getting way messier and less precise due to climate change).

By contrast, most places in Australia the seasons we're taught feel like arbitrary categories - and is it any surprise considering they're colonial constructs? Orange-leaved autumn and blossom-covered spring is a cartoon stereotype with no relevance on a continent where ALL NATIVE TREES ARE EVERGREEN!! Snowy winters are a joke in the desert, and even sunny summers don't ring particularly true considering that much of the country is in the tropics, where summer means monsoons - not that I've ever seen the concept that WE HAVE A MONSOON SEASON taught at an Australian school.

Most Indigenous nations around Australia had six or more seasons, revolving around wet and dry times as much as hot and cold, and marked by the appearances of certain native animals and flowers. Schools need to start teaching the real seasons, and explaining that climate cycles are too complex to generalise globally, or else we will keep raising generations who view the natural world as hostile and unpredictable and climate predictions as generally irrelevent and frequently wrong - and I'm sure I don't need to spell out why that's a problem in the era of climate crisis.

[tiredtransgal]

i want to add that 40% of the world's population lives in the tropics, and the 4 season model just doesn't make much sense for a lot of places in there. usually it's just the wet season/monsoon season and the dry season. it's often hot year round.

the 4 season model as you and i know it is a european invention, though 4 season models aren't unique to europe! most notably china has the same type of season subdivision.

in general the way humans define seasons is largely subjective and varies across cultures. the one you were taught is not at all universal!

so much crime discourse is implicitly predicated on there being an ontological distinction between Criminals and Ordinary People that the justice system should be able to immediately intuit by mystical introspection, like why would you let Criminals out on bail? why would you put Ordinary People on trial? if police already knew who was guilty in advance then their actions really would look even more perverse than they already are!

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.

you’ve heard of vitamin B, now get ready for bee vitamins

Does anyone have that one screen grab of a basketball game where the overlay was describing the Myth of Sisyphus?

This one?

Yeah that's the one, thanks

Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.
