  Yeah I think some people think laid off and fired are synonyms. I was just low seniority in my union

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I do respect the decision to publicly declare that the laid off employees were very good. I’ve done job searching while laid off and it does suck the suspicion through which you’re viewed by interviewers when they ask about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did people think dinosaur bones were before we officially recognised dinosaurs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I respect that a lot and have somewhat similar beliefs. I follow Marcus Aurelius’s beliefs on the morality of the divine: I will live a life striving for morality, thinking for myself, judging for myself, and struggling against the difficulty of putting beliefs into practice, and if the divine and I find ourselves in disharmony of right and wrong then it will have to convince me that I’m the one who’s wrong.

  I will note that I think a lot of people really miss the point of meat on Fridays. It’s supposed to be a mild fast, and back in the day Catholics were supposed to fully fast on Fridays in lent. But yeah I feel like a lot of people get the rituals and morality mixed up. Yeah you’re supposed to fast when you’re supposed to fast, it should be an act of humility and self control, but the real sin isn’t when you eat when you’re not supposed to, but when you don’t feed your neighbor when you are supposed to. The rituals and lesser rules are supposed to keep your mind focused on the parts of the religion that make you a better person.

  I simply hope that the face divinity shows me in the end is that of my patron goddess. Not because I cannot explain my actions to other deities, even the Christian god, but because she’s the aspect of divinity I most resonate with and understand.

  African. It’d be silly if they imported swallows from Europe when they have perfectly fine ones at home in Zambia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Geordi’s blindness is a plot point at least once in an episode that’s basically exactly what people act like episodes involving queerness are. Where he has to hold a eugenicist’s hand through accepting that he doesn’t mind that he was born blind and that he even has some advantages thanks to his visor. Don’t get me wrong, it was a very good episode, and people did need it laid out like that, but it’s very much not the “we’ve moved beyond such concerns” in a way that say having a ranking officer use a wheelchair would be.

  I will say something they did right was that his visor gives him headaches. It’s very in line with what folks with cochlear implants or very strong eyeglass prescriptions describe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its important⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the spirit. Some people can never touch booze again, and it’s good for them to know that. Others are able to learn a newer and healthier relationship with it. And an important part of a healthier relationship with it is knowing when it’s better to stay sober. I know for me it was important to learn that “I need a drink” means I actually need to stay sober until I don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who would win⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I stand by the belief that management that needs this level of surveillance software needs to be in trouble as well. Management should have reasonable expectations and expect you to achieve them in a reasonable amount of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now don’t get me wrong, I think the best way for Trek to handle queer issues is to just put queer people on the bridge. A gay Riker equivalent or a trans woman who talks about her past with the same discomfort but honesty as how Picard talks about his is what I want. And in that vein I’m still on my first watch of TNG and it’ll be a while before I get to nutrek.

  But I’m not going to pretend that to a certain portion of the population TOS wasn’t seen as being overly preachy on race. But seeing as I haven’t gotten to TOS yet either, I will say that in modern day I do think TNG was a bit preachy about disability and I’m glad they were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did people think dinosaur bones were before we officially recognised dinosaurs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As an ex Christian pagan, I suspect you’ve come closer than many. There’s a saying that there are many paths up the mountain. I feel that heresy often just means thinking for yourself. I’m not saying to throw away theological rigor, the opposite actually, one should analyze one’s religion through the lens of thought and conscience

  Well of course not, they aren’t kosher

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World first: antimatter particles transported in Geneva⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone is saying no, I want to explain why.

  Black holes are a gravitational phenomenon. Basically too much mass in too small of an area distorts spacetime so heavily it prevents even light from escaping, though it does emit hawking radiation.

  Antimatter is on the other hand a concept relating to a different fundamental force: electroweak interaction. Antimatter can be summed up as matter with the opposite charge. In an anti carbon 6 you’ll find six anti protons (negatively charged particles the same size as protons and made of antiquarks), six anti neutrons (neutrons made of antiquarks), and orbiting around it will be six positrons (basically electrons but positive). It will have the exact same mass as a regular C^6.

  Antimatter is relatively common these days, being produced in most major hospitals to be used as part of PET scans. It can be weaponized in theory, but volatility and volume to cost and transportability say it’s unlikely to ever actually be used that way. This is risking an explosion of less force than a toddler’s punch. And even an antimatter bomb big enough to send the earth to simultaneously collide with mars and Venus wouldn’t open a black hole in it’s explosion because explosions are in a force body sense, the opposite of a black hole. These things can feel mysterious and magical, but like everything else they’re just physical manifestations of the math and physics our universe operates under

  I’m curious what the equipment you’re thinking of is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it’s just what i’d wear on a basic hot day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it looks good and at certain bars sends a specific message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it’s just what i’d wear on a basic hot day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah in New York I saw people wearing as everyday clothes stuff I felt awkward wearing to and from clubs. Plus side is I’m now entirely comfortable wearing leather pants in public

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, who cares she’s providing content that’s not politics or rage. Even if she’s a middle aged man irl, who cares, what does it change other than making the person who are being thirsty at her a circlejerk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hot girls hate fascism❤️‍🔥⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately the ones I have saved are on lemmynsfw and aren’t super active. You still do have some users like Warlock3 who posts kinky nudes as well as engaging in both horny and non horny discussions.

  I do wish there was more kinky chat around, but I’m ass at first posting and am generally able to get most of the discussion I really need done irl as an active member of leather culture and communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is likely to happen when/if trump dies?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most likely a mad struggle for power among those in his circle alongside a struggle to be seen as the heir. Vance has an advantage here, but you can see other players making their moves including Greene. Had Kirk been alive he honestly might’ve been my dark horse bet. But if nobody wins a sufficient coalition then everyone loses. Some of the ideas will remain, but mostly the energized masses return to how they were before him or they’ll split into their feuding factions where the San Francisco technofascists and the Midwesterners who hate change and the southerners who just hate everyone different from them are all back at each other’s throats and all are disgusted with Nick Fuentes

  I was only mildly feeling it, but yeah that sounds like what a lot too much would feel like. Definitely interesting feeling, I get why people might reach that point for the novelty. Kinda like a weed body high with a clearish mind from what I remember

  If unflavored sugar pills taste bad then estradiol tastes weirdly good. I’d just assumed it was the sugar

  Oh fuck beer with dxm would taste awful and feel so weird.

  I accidentally had a bit too much dxm attempting to be functional enough to work. Wild experience
