Only like the front inch of your tongue actually hits your palate. When I try it, I can breathe around the sides of my tongue.
- Comment on Have you ever noticed 1 week ago:
It’s supposed to. Some people have a short lingual frenulum (The ligament that connects your tongue to your jaw), preventing proper tongue positioning which can cause problems like sleep apnea, speech impediments, tooth decay, and even poor posture. Inability to put your tongue at the roof of your mouth is one of the indications of this. Can be corrected with a fairly simple noninvasive surgery (They just snip the ligament a bit to lengthen it).

OK true, technically speaking it is indeed more readable, I guess I really meant that it takes far longer to read. I do admire Lua’s barebones simplicity.

Oh god yea, replicating switch functionality with a huge column of elifs is so gross.

To be fair my IRL best friend is one of you inverted Y monsters. Monsters are people, too.
- Comment on proportional reaction 3 weeks ago:
For real though I actually find them incredibly useful for creating clean and readable code. I wish Lua 5.1 had a ternary syntax.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 3 weeks ago:
Some people visualize their Y rotation “lever” as in front of the fulcrum of their neck, and some people visualize it as behind. Thus some people find an inverted Y axis to be intuitive, while others don’t. At least, this is how the reason for the preference has been explained to me.
I still think all you inverted Y axis people are monsters.

Holy shit I’ve met this Sherman. He lives outside of an armory building in Vancouver BC.

It looks like a cast of a uterus made of coagulated blood cause that’s literally what it is. :P

Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
I’d argue underused / inappropriately prescribed by social class. There are millions who could benefit from them who have poor access, while if you have money the Rx just gets thrown readily at your feet.

I know you’re joking but “solid menstruation” can actually happen and it’s called a decidual cast and it’s some brutal metal shit.

Huh. TIL that there are three common types of tidal cycles and which one you get depends on geography, location, ocean currents. https://beltoforion.de/en/tides/tidal_cycles.php

Because it’s not actually about age verification, it’s about totalizing surveillance of everyone.

Always be mean to cops.
If you’re dating someone and they’re not mean to cops, dump their ass.

Yeah they could probably stand to lose the more southern of the two ramp sets at Delta Park, feels very extra and overall unhelpful. Of course ODOT’s solution, beyond replacing the bridge, is to widen I-5 south of the bridge - Which anyone with a brain and 50 years of highway traffic studies can tell us would directly contribute to worsening the problem.
- Comment on Make it make sense 5 weeks ago:
This driver is distinct from that driver. We definitely have those too, and they have my sympathies. But this driver is the one who just thinks to themself that it would be nice to go slow for a while, on a lark. Or they don’t think at all and in that brief 15 seconds of brain death their nerves stop sending signals to their foot to press the gas.

It’s usually a complex crowd effect created by many participants trying to maneuver among each other in slightly disperate ways.
In Portland OR, it really is because some dingbat slowed down to 20 MPH on the interstate for literally no fucking reason at all.

Sorry, I thought you were the kind of person who could handle a little casual disagreement. I don’t mind that you think security was the primary purpose of phone OS app land, but everything I’ve watched phone companies do over the past 20 years demonstrates to me that a desire for control was the main intent. You don’t have to agree.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 1 month ago:
The app store and permission model hasn’t stopped malicious code from making it onto users devices. So if security was the concern, I’d say that’s a failure. But I think the primary concern was control. Control by manufacturers (And eventually, thereby states) of what people see and do on their phone. Make sure they have to pay for access to features. Easily surveil what they do.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 1 month ago:
If it was primarily done for security then it was a massive fucking failure. But I maintain that security was merely a secondary concern.

You’re in a virtualized container that only exposes some directories, also those directories are mostly hidden from you, also within this container you generally don’t have any permissions to them, and also every application completely obfuscates it’s folder access via some file access API.
It’s crazy to me how hard consumers got fucked right from the start on phone software and how normalized we are to it.
