this edit is not only relatable its also a great comment on the og xkcd

the meetings on design of the objects may or may not be pointless, but the actual assembly and work gathering the materials needed to make the objects is obviously integral

17th century european philosophers are so funny, they’ll be like “my aim herein is to discourse upon the nature of that which we call ‘civilization,’ and more generally that which we call ‘civil.’ the finger, as all can perceive, is a certain gland growing from the tissue of the arm, which, when acted upon by the electrical motion of the soul, doth exhibit such selfsame actions as does the worm; and therefore we may surmise that the worm is made of the same substance as the finger, or rather the finger the worm” and they just go on talking about fingers in a deeply incorrect but worryingly rational way for another 20 pages

I love whenever western reporters or commentators talk about Soviet rock bands of the 80s they try to recontextualize it always like "these were the voices that EXPOSED the EVILS of communism" and one of my favorites, Viktor Tsoi, drew shit like this in his spare time

[p-adict]

im 99.9999% sure this is satire since the lyrics to троллейбус are explicitly anti soviet

is the optimal for 12 cubes. (image from https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/cubincub/ )

from an ask tag game: list 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you

bro i don’t think i have 10 people who reblog my shit

1) seeing cats mash their foreheads on things on the internet

2) playing bloons td6 with my partner at 4am, cracking childish penis jokes the whole time

3) going on walks in my city after 10pm making up harmonies to instagram reels i saw

4) having my ideas for actions in my organization listened to/valued

5) eating gimbap for lunch at this one mom&pop place near where i study math. the guy still pronounces my name wrong but i love him

thanks for asking me @sylvie-loves-dogs you are a cool friend

pfff, rookie, wait till you make an integer variable and then perform numerous operations on the variable and then output it to the terminal

[python3-official]

But have you even gotten that integer as input from the user?

I just had an argument with someone who was like “why would we settle for food stamps when we could have universal basic income?”

And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hippie church moms donating quinoa chips to my local food bank have done more for me materially than any internet idealist ever has.

[what-even-is-thiss]

People get pissed at me for being a pragmatist in my political ideals but I’ve been in the position where I was out of food right now.

And who helped me with that? Not people calling for some nebulous revolution. Not people telling me that the system was useless. Not people preaching at me to grow my own food. It was a church food bank partially funded by the state of Texas that some southern hippies donated a bunch of Whole Foods nonsense to.

And you know what? I’m sick and tired of defeatism. What can we get done right now, huh? Are you gonna accept something a bit better to help people right now or are you waiting for your perfect utopia to come to you?

Yeah, UBI is better than the quinoa chips. Sure. But right now the quinoa chips are stopping people from going hungry and if all we can do is get the food bank quinoa chips to more people, then I say so be it. That’s something. I’ll almost always take baby steps over nothing.

[hymnofvalefor]

snap did more for me when I had it. but I can’t work so my stamps are gone. It helped me feel less like a burden.

more mixed use zoning alone could solve like half our problems

the r slur be word from old term they call intellectual disability/ID (mental r—tion). in history, it be use against people with ID in legal/law, education, social, medical, institutionalization, and right to live in general.

it be medical term not make it better. in fact it make it worse because it gave word Official Power and use to allow bad things.

yes it sometimes people use it to people technically without ID, but still as that [mental r word] n comparing them to people with ID.

even if bigoted people who use the slur now, not realize by explicit word they compare you to people with ID…. image they have in head, the traits they attack, what they mock, they still done to compare to how they see people with ID.

be called it n bullied with r slur be hurtful, yes, bad, and should not happen. but it not compare to and override harm the slur cause to people with intellectual disability on whole institution and system level - again, it everywhere, legal/law, education, medical, institutionalization, social, if allowed to live, n so much more.

it is word with heavy history. you cannot remove history from this word/slur, especially not when you not even admit the history and history harm in first place.

it cannot be reclaimed, especially not when most of main group people it harm (people with ID) not want it reclaimed. not when you using it in harmful way.

do not remove how the word harm people with ID when talk about r word, they primary target & who word compare to, even if yes sometimes it throw to disabled (and even nondisabled) people without ID.

the arXiv is recruiting a CEO as they are becoming an independent organization. they want someone with 'leadership experience in an academic or nonprofit institution… such as online publishing'; 'experience with organizations reliant on volunteers'; 'a proven track record of leading… high-performing teams who are experts in their fields'; and 'a demonstrated commitment to and experience advocating for open science'.

the answer is obvious. no one is more qualified. we should nominate Anna to be the CEO of the arXiv.
