Im not 100% sure what rant means, I didnt want to imply negativity, sorry for that. This really felt like a legitimate remark to me!
Yup, for the glasses, it’s definitely an explanation of why we used to call them that way, the justification does not have much sense nowadays.
My two cents, from a french perspectice : we say “a pair of scissors” and “a pair of glasses” but never “a pair of jeans”. For the glasses, it kinda make sense since you can wear only one glass at a time though it’s highly unpractical. For the scissors it make sense if you consider one scissor to be one blade with a handle. I perfectly understand your rant on the jeans point.
I agree with you on most points, thanks for your analysis/opinion!
How do you feel about anarchism and/or libertarian communism? (just trying to see how much you think that way because of a sympathy for capital or because of a rejection of the state)
I would feel okay i think. I only use it when it ends up in my search engine answers, and i think it’s okay, it has both a larger userbase and older history, so for niche subjects and specific questions it makes sense to use it.
But if you feel bad about it, maybe consider creating the communities you would like to see on Lemmy, as others said ! It may be not as hard and time consuming as you think, especially if you find some people to help you or even to entirely transfer the moderation part.
I don’t know for the “all used” part, but yeah, responsibility of wars to come will partly lay on weapons makers, both enterprises and countries. They can say “I admit that I increase risk of wars and war casualties, but I think it’s the best bet for country/nation”., it’s not necessarily exclusive, but weapons are made to be used (especially dissuasion weapons, they only work if it’s well known they are ready to use).
Mid-20s male here. They get to mid-back length now, and i’m overall very happy about it. They sometimes get stuck while in bed or at work but it’s a small price to pay for not bothering with cutting them and it’s really cool to headbang with it. Like others said, some boomers give me a hard time, but on the other hand i get random compliments from strangers so i take that as a win.
It is highly unpopular here to criticize Ukraine, and people kinda have good reasons for it, with all the far-right/trolls/tankies praising Russia and undermining Ukraine support.
Still, and though I support Ukrainians in a war made by Russia, conscription (it’s always forced btw) is something I can’t get over with, it goes against liberty, equality, solidarity, everything i believe in. Fuck armies, anywhere, anywhen, anyhow. It does not mean that they should be unfunded/unsupported/fought against, just that we have to remember that they are bad to the core, and that even when necessary, they should not get any glory, any power or any reward.
“Despise the infamous glory of laurel-bearing heroes, all assassins and pirates who terrorized the whole world”. - La Paysanne, Gaston Couté
Anyway, i hope for peace in Ukraine, that they will get their previous frontiers, and that violences will soon come to an end, so that forced soldiers on both sides and Ukrainian civilians can escape this hell.
Halfway through a concert, when the exhaustion from the mosh pit hits my weak body and im just a flipper ball in the chaos
Well both of us are imitating motorcycles, so it would even be very hard to write down the actual ‘melody’ to compare both. As said by others, it’s also an easy and common thing to do on guitar. Plus both sounds are rythmically a bit different : Motley Crue do not have the fast bit at the beginning of Montrose, they do 3 bends rather than 4 and they are a bit slower. It still may be technically plagiarism but it would be on a very small scale
Im no expert at all, but I think it might be hallucination/coincidence, skew of training data, or more arbitrary options even : either the devs enforced that behaviour somewhere in prompts, either the user asked for something like “give me the answer as if you were a chinese official protecting national interests” and this ends up in the chain of thoughts.
Very common in my experience of french politics to distinguish between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
It’s also a lot more used since the genocide is an important subject, so that may explain why you see it a lot more used in the last two years.
Im with you there.
If sweet food is consumed at the end of a dinner/lunch, it’s a dessert to me.
If sweet food is consumed on its own, its a snack to me.
Oh yes, Im dumb sorry I meant geocentrism but just used the word written above x)
I think the problematic part of heliocentrism geocentrism is more “the sun is rotating around the earth” rather than “we are at the center of universe”
I get that there is lot more nuances than russo-ukrainian, but imo there is a lot more similarities than you seem to imply : both Russia and Israel claimed that the land belonged to them before, that they should get it back, and use violence to kill local people who tried to resist or move them. The only difference is that Israel did it with the help of western countries and partially according to their laws, so they get like an aura of legitimity, but the acts remains quite close.
I do not like when people basically do not accept violent behavior but accepts them when they are allowed by some law or authority.
(Also yes Hamas is doing bad things and should be held accountable in some way, just like Ukraine to my eyes. But still, for me it remains obvious who kills more, who steals more, who oppresses more)
4K really weighs heavy in matter of storage space, just multiply 1080p by 4. If you can get that the raw rushes for a 1080p clip would be around 500 Go, then it makes sense that the same in 4k is 4 times bigger. My friends who stores a lot of rushes buys a new hard drive each year or two now that he uses 4k
