It’s like a clown. Funny to watch it goof about from afar, but when it comes to you OH FUCK OH SHIT THERE’S A CLOWN STARING AT ME FROM THE WINDOW AND PLOTTING A RIGHT-WING COUP

There are only 3 possibilities

• Voyager is a battery hog
• You don’t use your phone much
• You, together with your army of alts is single-handedly responsible for half of lemmy content

This aint a shitpost, this is just a fact

wake up honey, new yogthos lore just dropped

You definitely shouldn’t look through this topic, but especially avoid titles tagged “Original + Sub (Eng)”. I have never done anything like that and advise everyone to avoid using that website. That would be illegal!

I assume many people just live in a sanitized, sterile internet created by Google/Meta et al. They might have never encountered the gooner/pervert culture before. Again, when most people see “cameo” their mind doesn’t jump to “fetish porn cameo”. As such, I don’t think there was real consent here.

She consented to something but didn’t consider/understand what that something implies. While it might be obvious for terminally online people, most people don’t expect “cameos” to necessarily mean “fetish porn cameos”.

Well, I still hear it a lot. Would be great to replace it with some other greeting that made more literal sense.

Ah, sorry, missed the context

It’s a word predictor. It is good at simple text processing. Think local code refactoring, changing the style or structure of a small text piece, or summarizing small text pieces into even smaller text pieces. It is ok at synthesizing new text that has similar structure to the training corpus. Think generating repetitive boilerplate or copywriting. It is very bad at recalling or checking facts, logic, mathematics, and everything else that people seem to be using it for nowadays.

When I started working with English-speaking people it was genuinely a bit of a culture shock that everyone asks you “how are you doing” all the time. The first time it happened I spent like a minute quickly going over my week. The other person was surprised/annoyed and it all was kind of awkward. It took me like two weeks to finally start answering “goodthankswhataboutyou” instead of trying to think of a real answer.

The approximation is because it’s technically not exactly proportional due to curvature.

I don’t want to grind earth, sand and/or dung on my teeth though.

I think it depends on the carrot. Some of them are impossible to wash well.

By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.

I don’t think there’s a comma needed there. And in any case, both of those mean the same thing to me. Do you think they can be interpreted differently?

Sounds like you got a deal. Geometrically speaking, you got a way higher ratio of carrot to carrot skin.

ah yes, the Universal Serial America. Or the United States of Bus. Actually, the second one would be a dramatic improvement over the current situation in the US.

Internet (via your smartphone) provides you with the ability to find any book, magazine or paper on any subject you want, for free (if you’re willing to sail under the right flag), within seconds. Of course noone has a full bookshelf anymore, the only reason to want physical books nowadays is sentimentality or some very specific old book that hasn’t been digitized yet (but in that case you won’t have it on your bookshelf and will have to go to the library anyway). The fastest and most accurate way of doing research today is getting a gist on Wikipedia, clicking through the source links and reading those, and combing through arxiv and scihub for anything relevant. If you are unfamiliar with the subject as a whole, you download the relevant book and read it. Of course noone wants to comb through physical books anymore, it’s a complete waste of time (provided of course they have been digitized).
