unless you live in japan/china i cannot fathom regularly buying that, not only is it shipped halfway across the world, you have no clue what the ingredients and manufacturing is like, and to top it off it comes wrapped in a fucking plastic bag as if the shipping wasn’t terrible enough for the environment…
Especially when it’s mayo, something you can make with eggs, oil, some spices, and an immersion blender!
i can assure you japan isn’t that much saner than the rest of us, like really the one big thing they have going for them is pretty good urban planning and public transport.
Where most nations have people working their asses off because they need money to buy food, japan made the innovation of having people work themselves to death mostly out of social obligation instead! Much more exciting.
unrelated to the OP but a suggestion for your problem:
Waveup has a setting to lock the screen after X seconds with the proximity sensor covered, it’s not very sophisticated and thus it can be a bit over-eager, but if the phone being interacted with by your leg while in the pocket is driving you up the wall then this should fix that.
fake nerd, real nerds recognize that linguistic prescriptivism is poopoo and you can use language however you want, optionally in such a way that people understand what you’re saying.
they should be the loud ones though, i really struggle to see how you can be a good christian in america without having john brown as a role model.
like, the Swedish Church (closest we have to a state religion) is actively and aggressively pro-lgbt, if anyone tries to spread hate they smack them with a bible and shut that shit down fast.
Sensible religious people don’t have to sit in the background doing charity work like a sailor futilely scooping water out of a leaky boat, they can speak up and push back against what can be rightfully classed as blasphemy that spreads hate and injustice.
this is how i feel about basically all technology nowadays, it’s all so artificially limited by capitalism.
nothing fucking progresses unless someone figures out a way to monetize it or an autistic furry decides to revolutionize things in a weekend because they were bored and inventing god was almost stimulating enough
as much as you can use windows without touching the command line, so long as you don’t fuck about with stuff or want to do anything particularly fancy you have no reason to touch the terminal, but if you break stuff then just like with windows you’ll want to use the terminal to fix things because otherwise you’ll be spending 5 hours clicking your fingers off in a graphical problem solver.
Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....
thing is, games aren’t pretty because they model every cell in every lifeform and have 5 gigabyte textures for each individual leaf, they’re pretty because they have good graphical design.
Just lighting alone is like 50% of making a scene look nice, you can literally just slap together a low-poly flat-colour scene in blender and set up nice lighting and people will call you talented.
A prime example of this is valheim: ps2-style models and textures and yet the lighting and general graphical design makes it look lovely and atmospheric, especially combined with the music.
it annoys me to no end that people think minecraft looks terrible and attribute that to the textures, it’s literally just pixel art! Other games are praised for having pixel art! aurgh!
Minecraft might be considered ugly, but in that case it’s probably moreso because its lighting is… rudimentary… or that person specifically just doesn’t like the artstyle.
Also something that almost no one ever talks about is render distance! Games with a gargantuan render distance look SOOOOOO much more appealing and are easier to navigate, but people just don’t think about it!
I recently played Satisfactory and holy shit that render distance, when i called down the space elevator it’s the only time i can recall a game ever making me just sit there in awe, never before have i felt such a visceral sense of scale from something on a display!
it depends which god we ended up proving the existence of, if it’s prometheus i’d join the movement to free him from his eternal punishment for gifting humanity the fire of innovation.
and don’t insist that every part of the holy texts are literally 100% undiluted word of god, which generally makes religion way easier to integrate with a scientific worldview.
no, god did not create eve from adam’s rib, that’s just evocative storytelling initially written by people in the middle east 2000 years ago and repeatedly altered and translated since then.
-“i am consumed by an ever-present deep-seated need for a partner, an all-consuming urge to experience the physical and emotional pleasure of intimate contact with a woman. Every waking moment i do not distract myself is spent pining for something i seemingly cannot have and it is slowly but surely grinding me down.”
death sentence seems a bit excessive, surely they can climb? Yeah putting them on the ground probably makes it much more likely they’ll get nabbed by a predator before they get up a tree, but it feels like saying “putting a human in a tree is a death sentence”
that last bit tells me you’re either old or have hearing damage: we have some bats around me and despite never once seeing them it’s plainly obvious to me that they exist thanks to their shrill squeaky calls in the twilight.
he literally says in the video that their calls range from 20kHz to 200kHz, with 20kHz being the normal top range of human hearing for someone without hearing damage.
Now that e-ink displays are becoming good i really hope digital notebooks take off, like smartphones without the smart and waaaaaaay longer battery life.
There are some examples that seem good already (boox and ReMarkable), sadly they’re pretty expensive.
Ideally they should be the best of TI calculators, old commodore-style computers, and a piece of paper, all brought together in a light and cheap device that needs to be charged once per month at most.
even if AI magically became smart, capitalists would freak the fuck out and kill it if it showed any signs of becoming a threat to their profits.
i like to fantasize about us creating a fully sapient AI tasked with protecting humanity and whatnot, and within milliseconds it concludes the 1% must perish
