And also, new technology is still being developed

So it’s not even that all progress has stopped, things are still moving forwards

Seriously though, I saw this shit coming from a mile away, it’s been dead obvious that the US had some really bad growing fundamental issues that were never going to just magically go away by themselves (I mean, hell, not just the US, but still, they were going to be the first ones, and then there’s stuff like climate change…)

Why the hell do I seem to be able to figure out overarching trends better than literal professional politicians and leaders of countries? It’s so immensely infuriating

It’s exhausting to be disabled

Eating three times a day just seems like so much work

…now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

Don’t worry, the US will affect your personal life too outside the news 😊

True open source software runs on frustrated developers

But yeah, that is a really nice part of FOSS. I have myself been in situations where I just went and fixed a big myself because it annoyed me lol

I don’t think it would be worth it, as the thermal conduction would be far too low to be useful

However, it would be a useful ability in extreme environments, such as space or Antarctica or something like that. So your chances of becoming an astronaut would massively increase.

Uh, that’s not how orbital mechanics work

And also, let’s say we have to remove 10% of the moon’s mass to noticeably affect the tides (and it’s not enough to just mine it, you’d also need to remove it from the moon’s gravity well which is… A whole thing by itself, so let’s ignore that for funsies), which is about 7*10^21 kg. I can’t find statistics for total mining activity, but we mine about 2.6 * 10^12 kg iron each year. Let’s just take the 10x value of that to be safe, 2.6*10^13 “stuff” mined each year

In order to mine 10% of the moon’s mass, it’d take roughly 10^8 years, or written out, 100 000 000 years

And, as mentioned, this is while ignoring that you’d need to actually remove the moon’s mass from its gravitational well, which simply won’t be done at this scale

Worrying about this problem is so ridiculously out of scope that it’s laughable

An obnoxious response to an obnoxious statement

Yeah it’s like, human civilization has been around for less than 0.001% of the time it will take for the sun’s output to meaningfully change to such a degree that life on earth will become impossible. I think it’s more productive to worry about other things first

It sounds so exhausting to live like that ngl

I can’t imagine anyone disliking him in prison. He did nothing that could be deemed immoral if you’re already breaking laws, and most of the prison population are victims of the system

i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.

God, we have a near identical life experience here, even the same age funnily enough. Though I have childhood trauma from my parents on top of that

I relate heavily to what you said. It sucks hard. It really sucks feeling like you’re losing out on your youth because you were set up for failure from the people who chose to have you and we’re supposed to be the people who cared for you

Then again, it’s also really useful as propaganda of the deed

Yeah

Language has always been changing

Making fun of people for alternate spellings or words is silly, this is how language has always evolved

Then again, it’s not exactly trivial to solve the traveling salesman problem, not to mention all the real world considerations on top such as gathering everything to a central/sorting facility, last mile delivery, packing and unpacking, avoiding traffic/collisions (If applicable), errors, unpredictable circumstances, and so on

I’m sure improvements could made, buuut it’s a tough problem for sure, and it’s more important that something gets where it should at some point, than it getting there quicker

I can’t even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they’re not gonna go to an alternative discord
