I hate this post. Every morning I wake up and automatically my brain tells me “wakey wakey vegetables”

This post has negatively changed my life and I’m not even vegan

holy shit i just learned about the “proxy strike” tactic in france in which radicals blockade or occupy a workplace, allowing workers to strike without losing their wages. that’s brilliant, wow

[jewishtransdyke]

How does that work, exactly?

[redmensch-deactivated20190323]

if you and your coworkers say “we’re striking” and occupy your workplace, your boss won’t pay you, but if your friends and your coworkers’ friends occupy it for you, you say “sorry boss shit’s occupied” and you still get paid because you’re not the ones striking

the 5,528 people who have reblogged this post as of right now could probably paralyze a decent chunk of a city’s economy using this tactic lmao

‘While bats can only sense the outer shapes and textures of their targets, dolphins can peer inside theirs. If a dolphin echolocates on you, it will perceive your lungs and your skeleton. It can likely sense shrapnel in war veterans and fetuses in pregnant women. It can pick out the air-filled swim bladders that allow fish, their main prey, to control their buoyancy.

It can almost certainly tell different species apart based on the shape of those air bladders. And it can tell if a fish has something weird inside it, like a metal hook. In Hawaii, false killer whales often pluck tuna off fishing lines, and “they’ll know where the hook is inside that fish,” Aude Pacini, who studies these animals, tells me. “They can ‘see’ things that you and I would never consider unless we had an X-ray machine or an MRI scanner.”

This penetrating perception is so unusual that scientists have barely begun to consider its implications. The beaked whales, for example, are odontocetes that look dolphin-esque on the outside—but on the inside, their skulls bear a strange assortment of crests, ridges, and bumps, many of which are only found in males.

Pavel Gol’din has suggested that these structures might be the equivalent of deer antlers—showy ornaments that are used to attract mates. Such ornaments would normally protrude from the body in a visible and conspicuous way, but that’s unnecessary for animals that are living medical scanners.’

Cetacean echolocation is one of those things that boggles your mind once you really start to think about the implications. They can see each others' hearts beating fast with fear or excitement. They can see if another dolphin is healthy, or pregnant; how the fetus is doing; if they have ingested debris. Their echolocation is also incredibly precise: a bottlenose dolphin could discriminate between cilinders differing in wall thickness by just 0.23 mm (0.009 inch) from 8 meters away!! And they certainly notice when something is off.

I'm not sure if I ever shared this story before here, but in Curacao, when I was allowed to assist in a guest interaction programme, there was suddenly consternation in the pool behind us. A guest had entered the water and the dolphins were going crazy, paying no heed to the trainers anymore. The lead trainer that was with me gave the dolphins to me to watch over while she went to help. When she came back she told me what had happened. The guest that had caused so much uproar had left the water again and was asked if he had done anything to upset the dolphins. He hadn't, and he couldn't imagine what was wrong... until he mentioned he had a pacemaker. The younger dolphins in the pool had never seen someone with a pacemaker before and apparently it rocked their world.

It was such a wild experience, and offered such a cool insight into how dolphins experience their world. I'll never forget it.

even if trans women did have a notable advantage in sports i wouldnt give a fuuuuuuuuck. wahhhhh wahhh what if minorities start playing games too good! society could crumble! we just have no choice but to unperson them to avoid that from happening. absolute loser behavior.

the mantra for pilots is "aviate, navigate, communicate" in that order, meaning "fly the damn plane" first (don't enter an unrecoverable state) and then make sure you're going in the right direction and then talk to air traffic control, basically pay attention to the three things that can get you into trouble in the order of how fast that trouble can arrive.

temporal priority aside though, actually carrying out these objectives requires understanding, the most important currency of any complex activity: flying the plane is largely a mechanical procedure if you understand which angle it's pointing and how fast it's going and what autopilot mode it's in but a hellish nightmare if you don't, navigation and communication are also straightforward if you're keeping track of what's going on, but accidents usually result from the kind of confusion where people don't realise they are confused and are too busy or distracted to stop and notice they've lost touch with reality.

I think about that while driving but also these days while carrying out AI assisted software engineering, which has made understanding what's going on even more important than it used to be; the connection with flight is that it's easy to slip into the mode of developing while distracted and not realise you're doing so, and failures of understanding can take some time to manifest as critical problems.

This reminds me of how calculators can become a problem for some people: you need to know enough math to understand what you’re doing with the calculator, and enough math to understand what it spits out.

Applying the wrong formula won’t magically result in the calculator giving you the right answer.

garbage in, garbage out, or in the words of Charles Babbage:

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

They say ooooh be a good boy for daddy and you'll get a reward. But then the reward is just gay sex. This is bullshit. I wanted a skateboard

[crabanarchy]

Then they say if you're a bad boy daddy will punish you. But what's the punishment? More gay sex! You can't escape it. This whole damn place is in the pocket of Big Sex
