• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a few⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I did a quick look, but tbh I would need to know more about ancient judaic wedding practices.

  Here goes: in Gospel by Luke, when Mary gets the announcement, they are betrothed (fiancée).
  In Gospel by Matthew, Joseph hears of this and wants to cancel the betrothement, but gets an explanation by an angel and “takes her in” but doesn’t sleep with her until after Jesus is born.
  In Gospel by Luke, when they arrive in Bethlehem, they’re called betrothed. So I don’t know how official and extensive the “taking in” is to be seen.

  Anyways, look what I found in the Song of Mary:

  He performs mighty deeds with his arm; he scatters those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
  He brings down rulers from their thrones but lifts up the humble.
  He fills the hungry with good things but sends the rich away empty.

  Having seen neither, I gotta say Neon Genesis Evangelion looks more appealing to me than Star Wars. I might even watch it someday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does it mean?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think, if your savings can’t cover your basic needs for a month, you’re in it. If you miss one paycheck, your life basically falls apart. It also means, if you have a sudden cost (car repair, water pipe burst, or illness in the USA) that is more than a monthly paycheck (which in turn is more than your savings), you’re done.

  I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it’s totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.

  I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don’t have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It’s nice weather for most of the year, why not.

  But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student Parking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. I paid 200€ a semester student contribution for a train ticket and the student parliament and stuff and 0€ tuition. But I ended up taking the 30min car ride instead of 2h bus+train and the car park was free (it was just a gravel plot but who cares).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, no. I only ever have singular moths or ladybirds or stinkbugs that fly in when I open the window. They’re easy to catch and set outside. Some spiders here and there. Maybe house flies in the summer, but not too many.
  I’ve read about protecting your sugar from ants on the internet, but have never heard about that from people irl and never seen the need for it.
  I live in a brick house, not a wood frame house, which might be the explanation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only ever had like a single ant that came in when i opened the door. I would then pick it up and set it outside or sometimes kill it. I never had a whole line of ants enter my house and I’m certain they can’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But how large are the holes in your walls or windows to let the ants through?

  Life experience. In my experience, men are generally speaking more confidently incorrect. On the internet I see this trait most often with US Americans, regardless of skin colour. In real life, I see it often with consumers of tabloids or russian news.

  Pr because it was between 0 and 2 in the night. Still, as an author I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chasing the Elephant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik imgen ai starts with a salt and pepper noise image (randomised grey values, or maybe even randomised colour values). It then pushes and pulls the image in the direction of its learned nodes and weights.

  So typically an imgen ai will generate images with a very even distribution of value (light and dark). It will have difficulty generating a picture like a Rembrandt painting with high light/dark contrasts. It probably can’t generate pictures with a lot of dark and one small bright spot. At least not out of the box.
