  Good. Shame it takes this long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨all models are wrong, some are useful⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a bodybuilder friend who was like the most popular guy during the first year of med school because everyone would use him as a model to study muscles cuz if you touched him you could feel a lot of the different muscles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not great, not terrible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yep its all ✨infrastructural inertia✨

  because on paper thorium and fusion are both way ahead of uranium but the world has invested billions of dollars over 80 years into creating infrastructure for uranium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not great, not terrible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thorium is the Fusion of Fission.

  Since the 60’s we’ve been told that thorium tech is just around the corner and it will replace uranium.

  Not everything has to be about earning money.

  Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

  Since this came right after a post from !theonion@sh.itjust.works on my feed i honestly thought it was the onion.

  Space stopped making sense, walls laughed, directions stopped directioning, the endless maze of hallways became the process of living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been influenced by both spanish and french cultural erasure to the point modern catalan lowkey just reads as a french-spanish hybrid.

  Merci per la idea de negoci.

  (In many places, we burnt the garden).

  We’ve been shaping ecosystems through fire for so long.

  That article’s on my to read list now, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so fucking surreal to me how much megafauna extinctions have happened in the past 50’000 years.

  I don’t think people realise we had like giant land birds, megasloths, literal humungus kangaroos roaming round not that long ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Biomass is the usual way this sort of data is presented in environmental science. I think calling it “propaganda” is a bit much. But yes if would have been better if that were clear on the infographic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (the latin alphabet is the same alphabet english is currently written in.)

  German and Italian manage to be phonetic using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont need IPA to make it phonetic though:

  You can stick with latin and just make phonetic rules consistent so if you hear a word you automatically know how to spell it. Like in german.

  “We found the fossil halfway up Virginia”

  “WHO THE FUCK IS VIRGINIA???”

  Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty woman stepping on you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m armchair Freuding a bit, but I think that’s one of the reasons “Femdom” type pornos seem to be enjoyed by some men.

  Like I totally get wanting a woman to take control. But the “femdom” stuff online tends to be degarding, straight up mean. (Which some people like and is okay, but it’s more mainstream than I’d imagine).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.

  Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.

  (This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)

  Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck spelling norms.

  Make English Phonetic Again!

  MEPA!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitsharing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you not understand the concept of a safe space?

  When you’re literally one of the most politically targeted groups and create a community the point might not be to make it a “free speech zone” but the one place on the internet you feel safe.

  That doesn’t make them authoritarian politically. They’re just admins following through on a vision. Where people can freely join their instance or not. Not politicians enforcing their views on people who didn’t consent to it.

  Blahaj doesn’t pretend to be a neutral instance like lemmy.ml does. It’s explicit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitsharing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Youre mixing up moderation style and political ideology.

  Blahaj is moderated to be a safe space for trans people. That means they remove anything remotely insulting or harmful. That’s their moderation policy. That doesn’t mean their political views are authoritarian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitsharing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works and Feddit.org are the most centrist ones probably. They’re like liberal leftism while the rest of lemmy tends to be explicitly anti-capitalist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitsharing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Blahaj is explicitly anti-tankie. I mean look at the banner of !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, so they are clearly lib left.

  Whilst dbzer0 is literally explicitly anti-capitalist.

  So both of those go lib left. Perhaps dbzer0 more lib and blahaj more left.
