leftist limnologist

only limnologist that doesn't like fishing or being outside. used to run an aesthetic blog on this very url but will now only occasionally post memes or workers rights posts or biology things. scroll waaayyyy back for the ethereal photos and problematic orientalism that gained me an inordinate amount of followers in the good ol days

I was supposed to take a train last night that was gonna get me to my destination just before midnight.

It was over an hour and a half late.

I looked into booking a flight super last minute and decided against it because of the price and the emissions.

I calculated how much money I might get back from the train company, then bought a ticket for the first morning train and walked my ass to the closest hotel to beg for a room.

I would have had neither the wherewithal nor the strength to do any of this this if I hadn't been constantly going "oh yeah dude this is so jet lag: the game coded"

also my train got in at 11 a.m. today, and at 10 p.m. I'm taking a night train back north. This time for work. I'm exhausted.

ALSO also, I spent the weekend skiing (nordic), skating (tour) and running, which is not jet lag: the game coded but IS sam denby coded

In France if you suffer from hair loss as a teenage girl and cannot afford a real hair wig the school will try and force you to go to class bald. The school will make you buy a chemotherapy turban, you will buy two different so that the school can choose which one they prefer and you will prove that they are chemotherapy turban and not hijab but once you wear it they will change their mind and say it looks too much like a hijab and insist on you going bald or buying a real hair wig that you cannot afford.

If your doctor makes multiple documents confirming that you suffer from alopecia because of stress and the medicine you have to take for your epilepsy and that wearing a bonnet or something is recommended for your mental health as you’re not ready to go out bald in high school as a teenage girl, instead of admitting they are wrong the school will accuse the doctor of lying and report him to the Ordre des Médecins (equivalent of the General Medical council). Your doctor will find himself asking you for a document stating that you are not Muslim in order to defend himself and prove that no he wasn’t colluding with you so you could wear a substitute for hijab.

In France if you are a North African nurse at a public hospital and wear a fabric surgical cap they will try to make you remove it because apparently it’s a hidden hijab. They will accuse you of going against secularism and when you’ll argue that they are discriminating you by assuming you’re Muslim for a surgical cap on your head they will change their angle and claim that you should wear nothing on your hair because you wear the same surgical cap in multiple bedroom which is unhygienic apparently (which is a bullshit argument cause you wear the same scrub/uniform in different bedrooms as well). They will go as far as claiming that disposable scrub caps (you know the thin papery ones?) are not okay to wear in a hospital even if you change it regularly. And then they will fire you for a lack of hygiene because you wear a surgical cap.

All of that will be done in the name of secularism and women’s right despite having nothing do with either quite the opposite.

The teenage girl’s story is also not just about racism and Islamophobia it’s also about ableism as the girl is convinced that the real reason the school is trying to push her out is because she had an epilepsy crisis in class and nobody knew what to do and the school nurse was absent. It could have ended badly had her best friend not known what to do to help. Apparently it was bad enough to cancel class for the rest of the day and the teacher was shocked to the point of ending on sick leave.

not to be a number nerd on main but 2025 (45^2) will be the only square year most of us ever experience. the last one was 1936 and the next one will be 2116

[toldasor]

Moreover, 2025 is also the sum of CONSECUTIVE cubes

2025 is equal to 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³, which is quite special in its own right, and for it to coincide with a square integer... *chefs kiss*

[hiimnatt]

I also want to note that 45 is the sum of integers 1-9 inclusive.

Therefore (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)² = (1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³) = 2025, which is awesome!

There are a lot of authors that I feel are overrated, but Paulo Coelho is the only one who made me actively angry when I read one of his books. Like I heard all of these people talking about how brilliant and life-changing and lyrically beautiful The Alchemist is, and then I read it and it's just like...Hallmark-tier New Age law of attraction bullshit masquerading as as a novel. It was like reading an entire book written by Sphinx from Mystery Men: "If you do not rule your anger, your anger will rule you". I can only assume that it's primarily popular with people who have never read any real philosophy or, you know, actually thought about anything for more than five seconds in their entire lives. Like, wow, yeah, "it changed my life" with its capitalization of key ideas and reiteration of its (idiotic) thesis on every fucking page. I can only imagine that the people who loved it are continually bowled over the by the profound lyrical wisdom they find in fortune cookies. I bet Joe Rogan loved this book.

it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?

Greta said she was forcibly undressed and israeli guards took photos of her while naked and this is not surprising because when palestinians were released they were talking about this form of assault on tv. I just wonder where theyre sharing these videos of naked palestinians. Among telegram channels? WhatsApp? R they gonna blackmail them the rest of their life and threaten to release their naked photos if they dont become collaborators. Especially with the advent of AI in the mix this is horrible

Whats especially interesting in this article is that the Swedish authorities deliberately downplayed what she went through so she has to speak on it

Also can I just say. As a java developer. If someone writes code that has a HashMap inside of a different HashMap, then not only should their IDE give them a big ol' warning, but I should also be allowed to go to their house and kill them.

"The Conversation", which I usually regard as a serious news outlet, said in its weekly newsletter to me that "the jury is still out on whether AI has emotions". Which is obviously bullshit, but if we're going to muddy the waters with statements like that then I will take it to its extreme and say that if ChatGPT has emotions, then ALL statistics programs have emotions. Including RStudio.

So please stop making Rphobic statements like "Python is more versatile" or "Assigning values to variables with an arrow instead of a '=' looks stupid" or "Why don't you use SPSS, it's more intuitive!" RStudio may or may not have feelings, so you need to be considerate. In fact I'm going to postulate that the programming language R itself has feelings and feels lonely if you don't use it.

say whatever you want about tumblr, but more and more it's feeling like one of the last places on the internet where you can still be irreverent about bad things happening to people who got exactly what they'd been putting out in the world.

Reddit is etiquette-moderated to the gills ever since its IPO. Twitter gets you hounded by nazis and fired from your job. Bluesky is the same as Twitter but maybe with half as many nazis. Tiktokkers can't even say the word kill without getting scared. Every mainstream media outlet will have you believing the victims were saints. It's making me insane. It feels insane, everywhere else I look beside the blue hellscape.
