  Some infinities are bigger than other infinities

  Is this actually true?

  Many eons ago when I was in college, I worked with a guy who was a math major. He was a bit of a show boat know it all and I honestly think he believed that he was never wrong. This post reminded me of him because he and I had a debate / discussion on this topic and I came away from that feeling like he he was right and I was too dumb to understand why he was right.

  He was arguing that if two sets are both infinite, then they are the same size (i.e. infinity, infinite). From a strictly logical perspective, it seemed to me that even if two sets were infinite, it seems like one could still be larger than the other (or maybe the better way of phrasing it was that one grew faster than the other) and I used the example of even integers versus all integers. He called me an idiot and honestly, I’ve always just assumed I was wrong – he was a math major at a mid-ranked state school after all, how could he be wrong?

  Thoughts?

  Marinate the Pringles in the Mtn Dew overnight. Drain the excess Mtn Dew into a bowl and set aside, do not discard. Bring oven to 375F/190C, allow it to preheat. Place marinated Pringles onto cookie sheet, do not stack, and leave enough space between crisps so that they do not touch. Use a spoon or spatula to avoid tearing. Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Mtn Dew drainage and allow to roast for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. In the mean time, place any remaining drainage into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Allow Mtn Dew drainage to reduce, until it just barely sticks to a wooden toothpick. Remove from heat, pour over cooling crisps. Spray with canned cheese or sprinkle with Cool Ranch Doritos dust if going for a more fancy ambiance.

  Is a person capable of anxiety if they’re missing a fifth of the oxygen they’re supposed to have?

  Yes. Based on seeing a family member in that predicament, I’d say they’re capable of extreme anxiety at those levels.

  Last year I found a streaming app that had the 1980s Garfield cartoon running, and I ended up getting back into that for a while.

  I found it to be a fascinating glimpse into those times. Like all of the pop culture references were obviously quite dated, but 40 years later and a lot of them still stand on their own. The comedy style was a snapshot of the zeitgeist from the era, surely not novel at the time, but a reflection of the time. It’s interesting to see how much of that comedy style has carried forward and even evolved over the decades. Sarcasm, featured heavily. Self-deprecation. Almost surreal absurdity. Did Garfield shape the comedy world as much as the comedy world shaped it?

  Oh yeah, and I definitely turned out gay. But I guarantee you it wasn’t the 10/10 hotties that John Arbuckle was pulling or anything related to Garfield himself. It was entirely Nermal. Grew up living my entire life thinking Nermal was a girl, only to realize that in my recent re-watch that Nermal’s pronouns are he/him. These woke ass shows have been woking kids up since the dawn of time.

  I should not have just sat here and wasted 35 minutes reading news stories and looking at memes on Lemmy while I pick and choose the ones I decide to bestow with the wisdom, or lack thereof, of my words. But this one? This one speaks to my soul. Like the slow chitter chatter of cold katydids on a cool fall night in the middle of September in the Southern part of the USA. Chit-chit cha-chit chit-cha-ah-ah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why the widespread adoption of the internet hasn't been good for society as a whole.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I would never tell a lie on the internet. It’s not really lying when I do it on purpose with the goal of obfuscating the details so as to preserve my anonymity and minimize the risk of being doxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxed. And also it’s not really lying if I say it to win a debate and I actually win based on saying it. And it’s also not a lie if its in … “THE BIBLE” because it’s what Jesus would have said and what Jesus would have wanted and I know for a fact you’re not calling Jesus a liar are you?

  I haven’t completed a run in Hades 2 and at this point I’m not sure I will any time soon.

  I’m not really a gamer, but the first Hades just clicked with me. It’s a game I can pick up and just have some fun.

  Hades 2 just isn’t clicking like that. I enjoyed what I’ve played of it, but things are a lot more complicated, just a lot more going on and a lot more to keep track of, and the main character just seems so much weaker or maybe the game is a lot harder in general, I don’t know. Either way, it hasn’t drawn me in. Hoping it will one day, and perhaps coming out of beta will help on that front.

  In a way, I’m glad you mentioned it.

  In another way, it’s really sad that the state of affairs on Lemmy is such that anyone would feel the need to have to explicitly state that as though the headline / title wasn’t clear enough. Like I know it’s an international Fediverse and not everyone is fully fluent in English, but on the other hand, some people do legitimately have reading comprehension issues and a desire to dump some rage on random folks on the internet.

  Some men were avoiding the covid vaccines specifically because they believed it makes men sterile. As one of my neighbors said in reference to a family down the road who lost two adult sons (and cited sterility as the reason they didn’t want to get vaccinated), “They definitely aren’t having any kids now.”

  For a solid few years, the signature on my driver’s license did not match the signature that I use to sign things nor did it match my normal handwriting.

  This is because the small town, fascist, dick cheese of a police officer who was handling my renewal decided he didn’t like my signature. So, he told me I had to sign the thing with a legible (to him) signature. After redoing the signature multiple times and having him reject it each time, I finally signed it like I was trying out for the Olympic handwriting team. He accepted that one.

  Like what even is the point of this exercise besides just being a giant festering asshole? Fortunately the signature mismatch was never an issue because it’s such and unimportant and useless detail that almost nobody cares when they check your license.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A million years ago in gamer years, a buddy of mine and I were playing an online coop game of Castle Crashers (I think, it’s been awhile, might’ve actually been something else). Neither of us are really “gamers” and definitely not online gamers, we just thought it was cool you could play with random people. Also, we were drinking alcohol that night, so the best decisions were not made.

  Long story short: We did not realize that there was voice chat in the co-op of this game. So, we were basically drunk assholes, playing horribly, and talking about a bunch of inappropriate and very personal topics. At different points in the evening, we both joked that we had this sense that the other player(s) were trying to communicate with us and once or twice we were like, it’s almost like they can hear us.

  Then as we were winding down for the night, I hit some button randomly that enabled the audio feed in for voice chat, and the words coming out of that child’s mouth on the other end would have made a whore blush. I guess they could hear every word we said throughout the night, maybe the mic on my laptop was enabled by default, or maybe someone hit the wrong button at some point. I felt kinda bad, we definitely talked about age inappropriate stuff and I know at points it must’ve seemed like we were trolling the other players.

  So, if that was you about 10 - 15 years ago, I’m sorry. I didn’t say the N-word, use any slurs, or trash talk any minorities, although as gay dudes it might’ve sounded like we were homophobes. I dunno. It’s been a long time. But I’m still sorry.
