Spanking doesn’t work, and it’s actively bad for your kids

I cannot fathom wanting your kid to be worried that you might ever hurt them

“Morally acceptable” and “not a moral issue” combine into the greater “not morally wrong” category. Personally I’d put it in “not moral issue,” but I don’t assume any I’ll will on the part of people saying it’s “acceptable”

Genuinely thought that was what the post was about. Someone oughtta make one of those Ks backward

I’m not going to respond until you use actual words

She is a girl, but she’s not anime. She’s a Canadian drawing

“We just accept [thing we just accept]” is a form of complaint

Furry porn is a thing the same way anime porn is a thing. Just because someone’s into anime doesn’t mean they’re jerkin it to anime all the time

The kind of whimsiless corpo half-person who seems embarrassed to know that anime is a thing, and can’t mention it without assuring his audience that he doesn’t watch that stuff

I hate that society is largely driven by people who think that whimsy must die with your childhood

I swear Google just doesn’t want me using the internet. The other day I went through 20 sets of motorcycles and buses and bicycles and fire hydrants before giving up

Praying for them to remain Anna-nymous 🙏

I wish piracy was stealing, because stealing from the rich is good

I’m not a computer graphics guy, but I wanna math. Theoretically, if I wanted to make the smallest possible 3d model, I would define it as four interconnected points. Each point has x, y, and z coordinates, so each model takes a theoretical minimum of 12 bytes of storage. Someone who knows computers can correct me if I’m off by a bunch.

The lower estimate is around 100,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way. That’s only 1.2 terabytes worth of my theoretical minimum 3d model. Doable! But you said all stars. The lower estimate is around 10^22 stars in the universe. That would be 120 zettabytes. That’s only a few orders of magnitude off from the total available worldwide datadata storage!

Edit: I might have thought of a way to define a 3D model in just 2 bytes. You need four points that each have values for x, y, and z. They don’t need 256 possible values for those, they can get by with two each. One bit can store two possible positions, so we can use as little as two bytes to define every point’s position with 4 bits to spare. Behold, a tetrahedron: 0000 0100 1010 1110

Each set of four digits defines the x, y, and z coordinates for each point, as well as one extra dimension. You could use those extra four bits however you want. An extra spatial dimension, defining a color, etc. The theoretically smallest possible 3D model. Take the numbers I said up there and divide them by 6. A model for every star in the universe, and it would only take 20 zettabytes.

And as we all know, technology progresses logarithmically and not exponentially

Discord later banned the account for violating the TOS when lying about her age and stated they would only restore the account if they shared a photo of the kid along with a copy of her birth certificate or passport.

The guy who applies for the “looking at pictures of little girls” position at discord needs to be on every single list

I also use em-dashes on occasion, but I use them right. I can’t define how I use them, nor can I conjure up any reasonable uses for one in this comment, but you can tell when it should be there and when it shouldn’t. Like, an AI would have replaced the second comma in that sentence with one

poorly placed em-dash

that’s not x, that’s y

mic drop final sentence in its own paragraph

I’m not saying it’s AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see

Firefox/Ublock origin + adguard DNS + sponsorblock. My personal devices are not billboards, and they haven’t allowed ads in years

Edit: youtube revanced on Android. Sponsorblock has saved me over 4 hours since I reinstalled the app earlier this year

How it feels to study the Arch wiki

Vs how it feels to install Mint

Edit: I hope this comment didn’t come across as snobby or anything. The best thing to do if you’re trying to install Arch is to just install Mint instead. Using your computer as a computer needn’t be a struggle
