  Obviously you get to choose your labels, but theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy and it certainly doesnt invalidate your identity, unless you feel it does. Some of the women i know and like the most are tomboys. I certainly dont view them as any less of a woman, although quite frankly i dont spend time thinking about peoples genders either.

  Just do you! Being proud of who you are is great, but if you dont like who you are there are always options to change. If you had to describe how you want to be viewed, how would you go about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its for DRM. The easiest way to check if you actually own the game is to have the game contantly ask whether its connected to the server. The server should have your payment info. If thats not found, your game isnt legit.

  Thats why GOG is so good, their games dont have DRM. Meaning you (and pirates) have a BETTER version of the game. Let me repeat that, downloading an illegal copy gives you a better running version of the same game you mightve paid for, because it doesnt have to contantly talk to a server before the game will allow you to do anything.

  When you pirate a steam game, youre also downloading a “fake” version of steam, a steam emulator. The way they break DRM for steam games doesnt remove the DRM, but it slightly reduces the issues DRM causes because the server it is communicating with is local and doesnt have to index user files. Your game just asks the steam emulator if its legit, the steam emulator doesnt check anything, it just says that whatever got checked was legit.

  I feel like this is most of shakespears work. Having read a lot of it, i was deeply unimpressed. I found it grueling to work through any of his pieces. And yet theyre universally beloved. Pretty sure its just because everyones teacher told them the book was good.

  Its weird though, to kill a mockingbird was actually good, and yet it doesnt recieve nearly as much fanfare as something like hamlet or romeo & juliet. Feels like people just like shakespear because everyone else likes shakespear.

  A lot of people use food dehydrators. You can even get a spool holder that feeds the filament to your printer and dries it at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.

  Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you ever been checked for autism or adhd? Common symptoms for me include that im not in tune with my bodys “hunger” meter. I often forget to eat or dont eat enough, and as such the first real sign of hunger i get is when i start getting dizzy and it becomes hard to move. Could also be from not having enough food growing up, so my body stopped producing the “hungry” signal.

  Forced software updates that brick a device seems like really good grounds for suing for the cost of the device. If enough people do it, the cost for litigating all of that would be quite high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a trauma response, very common with depression. The only thing ive found that helps is not viewing interaction with other people as a commitment. I know im not always able to talk to others, but i dont want to push them away, so it often seems easier to just not engage in the first place. But with the right people, i know that theres no demand that i engage. Some people are just happy to be there, to know that theres someone they can talk to if they want. Basically, find a low commitment friend and if you dont want to talk, you dont have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hope that is true. Every time a police chase is posted, people get enflamed that the cops wont stop the suspect and it enrages me. Its like people dont understand what happens when someone loses control of a 1 ton slab of metal moving at 100 mph. I always say the cops need to get a heli and just drop the chase, because a fleeing suspect is so much more of a danger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, even ignoring that, theres no way that claim is valid. The price of food here has over doubled since 2019. I used to work at a store during that time and got a burrito every single day, after tax it came to $1.03. Now, at the same store, same burrito, it cost $2.46 after tax. My $3 box of snack cakes comes to $5 now, cigarettes have almost trippled, and my rent has almost doubled since i moved here in 2020. Almost everything here is at least twice as expensive as it was in 2019, and my wage has only gone from about $9/h to about $12/h. I even have pictures of price tags from then, once i find them ill upload then/now pictures of the price tags.

  For me its not so much that, its moreso just that I am disgusted by those that claim to be virtuous and pretend to care. Most people only care about others socially, when those people are struggling they rarely help unless theres social consequences for not helping.

  I just hate hypocrites

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[troll science]: Unruh particle shower on a centrifuge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didnt read that yet, this is all from memory.

  From my recollection, the unruh effect is a side effect of referance frames and event horizons. For any given object, you can calculate that objects future path through space time. There will be objects that are too far away for that object to interact with until a certain amount of time has passed. That means those objects are beyond the causality of your original object. This creates an expansign event horizon where anything before it can theoretically be interacted with, and anything past it cannot until the future. The issue is that on the border, on the event horizon, you have virtual particles popping in and out of existance. These particles normally annhilate each other and therefore measurably dont matter. But you have the ability to interact with one without interacting with the other, because its beyond your sphere of influence. But if you can interact with it, it can interact with you. This means you measure a noticable increase in energy at the event horizon because youre only measuring half of the virtual particle, the half that you can interact with and the half that can interact with you.

  You shouldnt have to turn every talk into a political one. If anyone would actually do anything about all the injustice, there would be less injustice to speak of. You remember when you were little and you discussed the hells of nuclear warfare with your other 10 year old friends on minecraft? No? Maybe thats because there wasnt an active nuclear war going on, perhaps? One that people like you enable by turning a blind eye?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, thats the key issue that so many people fail to understand. They want AI to be deterministic but it simply isnt. Its like expecting a human to get the right answer to any possible question, its just not going to happen. The only thing we can do is bring error rates with ai lower than a human doing the same task, and it will be at that point that the ai becomes useful. But even at that point there will always be the alignment issue and nondeterminism, meaning ai will never behave exactly the way we want or expect it to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breakthrough in antimatter production- A new cooling technique means that the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antimatter Factory can produce antihydrogen atoms eight times faster than before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea what would happen if you split one or even how youd “split” one(without ramming it into a high energy partical and letting it then decay, but thats just fusion with extra steps) but if you fused two youd get an antihelium particle. It would behave functionally identically to a regular helium atom except with opposite charge. I believe fusing two hydrogen gives you a loghtly positively charged helium, so fusing two antihydrogen would give you a slightly negative antihelium.

  Fun fact, antiparticles are literally the same thing as a regular particle with its CPT symmetries reversed. You you can take a particle, swap its charge, swap its partity(or handedness, its the difference between what you look like and what you look like in a mirror, but its for quantum spin which doesnt really mesh well with our understanding of 3d space) and then swap its direction of travel through time and youre literally just looking at what looks to be an antiparticle.

  Well, kinda. Nothing can, under certain conditions, become more of a gradient of nothing. Some spots are more nothing than others. And, if i understand correctly, you can tune your measurement scale in order to measure an area of nothing and find nothing.

  I wanted to be sure so i asked Nothing, and they were very certain: Butt, Death, and Taxes.
