I’ve grown in appreciation for math in the last couple of years, especially when it comes to things that are necessary or practical in my day to day life.
I hated it in school though, mostly because of bad teachers, I think, and because it’s an area of study with cut and dry answers.
I always preferred subjects where there were many possible answers to a question, like philosophy and such.
My honest opinion is that Discovery is nowhere near as bad as its detractors say.
That said, I also wouldn’t call it good Star Trek and didn’t finish the final season.
It’s boring, not bad.
Legitimately, the straight edge people I knew in high school are all republicans now.
This’ll be an absolute shit show that accomplishes nothing, costs a lot of money, and generally makes life worse for everyone.
Sounds like the Trump admin. That’s for sure.
I like Pop!_OS. It was my first distro and has been the one I go back to the most.
The window management options were a godsend when working on my dissertation.
Ursula Le Guin.
That depends entirely on the story the game is telling.
Ezekiel 16:49
This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease but did not aid the poor and needy.
I’m an ex evangelical.
To put it in a sentence, they love Trump because the false image they have of him fits the heretical version of Christianity they follow.
Something like this would probably work.
Give them some cash, if I have a little extra. I recommend carrying a little change if you live in an area with regular homeless folks.
I used to bring a particular homeless guy who hung around my block a sandwich on my way to work, and a beer when walking my dog on Friday nights (if I saw him, for either occurrence). That was all when I lived in a different city though.
To be a little blunt here, someone who thinks using an LLM is equivalent to being in a relationship with a real person probably shouldn’t be in a relationship with a real person.
Fuck um’.
The billionaire family can pay for their own stadium and pay their own taxes.
Probably, but my PhD is in philosophy.
My take is that patriotism is a corruption of the feeling of belonging we get from community.
In 2018 I was offered a job managing a retreat center on the shores of Lake Superior. The job would have been to keep the place looking nice and, very occasionally, cultivate a restful space for people who needed it.
I went and got a PhD instead. Not a huge mistake, but I’d probably have been happier with the retreat center.
I’ll never forget my first trip out to North Lawndale for work. So many people acted like I was headed into Fallujah or something.
In reality though, it was just another neighborhood with regular people trying to get by.
That college professors are turning young people into communists.
Dawg, I can’t even get them to read.
People in general are easily manipulated, and those who manipulate use the beliefs of the people they’re manipulating to do so.
Religion certainly is a something used for that, but it’s hardly the only one.
I think that some very old men in charge of both countries should find a safer way to feel masculine again.
