Because the pouring spout is to the right. Tip it, you’ll see. It works better if you are staring closely at the spout from below when you do so.

Peter Funke? The famous anal-rapist?

I experienced it pretty profoundly when taking a plant systematics and identification course. I had always loved plants as a gardener, so the added knowledge of general plant anatomy lit a fire in my brain.

Now when I would learn a new plant, I would notice it everywhere, even out of the corner of my eye while driving at speed on a highway.

I’m still a slut for the thrill of learning a new plant.

This one works if you are an inbox-zero sort of person. Write a script to send yourself an email daily. Have another utility look for your reply. If you go too long without replying, have it trigger whatever other emails/actions you would like to happen.

I have an image of a certain mentally lazy older relative being confronted with anything slightly challenging. The degree of hand wringing and play acting to avoid a few minutes thought and perhaps looking ignorant was always over the top.

Since the world has many many people like that, there will probably end up being a handful of large ‘instances’ that seem ashamed of the fediverse’s ‘complexity’ (like Bluesky) and they will pretend to be their own thing, so as not to freak out the squares.

I am somewhat glad Lemmy instances get ignored in this discussion. I want to be surrounded by the better, smarter and more challenging voices such as I have found here.

Is it an information bubble? Damn right it is. Lemmy is my refuge from and group therapy for preparing to contend in vain against the daily grind of human cupidity and stupidity.

The only thing that anarchists hate more than authoritarians is other anarchists!

My boyfriend said I needed to be more affectionate.

So now I have TWO boyfriends!

Being both already I would tell said genie to take a hike.

I have always made a .plan file on every unix-like system I have been on. Just in case I get fingered. Heck, even my at home single user devices have a .plan. Just to give the hackers a treat.

Yeah if it’s an NIDA study it is totally sus. They are known for wagging the dog.

A gentleman is someone who CAN play the banjo, but does NOT.

I have a little outfit Id like to see him in.

I’m going to say yes to both versions of your question. Infinity is still infinitely bigger than any expressible finite number. Plenty of room for local anomalies like long repeats and other apparent patterns.

Sour cream! Onion! AM reflux!

Xmas is fscking awesome.

I want a stone so un-natural that the mineral is named cthulite.

support.apple.com

If shit gets real real, developer.apple.com.

I’m in love with Stanford Beer and his saying “The purpose of a system is what it does”.

So yes, if most of us are depressed and anxious then that is what the system is for.

You can make one if you feel motivated enough to do the mod work. However, I think the subject fits very well in any existing news or politics community. I would prefer the topic stay mainstream and not get relegated to a niche.

Malcovich, Malkovich, Makkovich!

In the freezer, next to the peaches.
