The solution is to move the start of the year back to March where it always should’ve been.

Now March 1st is New Years. Feb 28 is NYE. Feb 29 is a bonus party day. Stonks.

A human brain doesn’t create a mathematical model of how likely a certain pixel is based on a collection of source images which were taken without consent and then use that to create images. I think they might be fundamentally different concepts and should not be likened to each other.

Earthcat. Firecat. Aircat. Long ago, the four nations lived-

Yeah makes sense dude. I hope you have a lovely day!

Me Tor. Tor learn make woven grass from Tor-mum. Tor been make woven grass for long time. Tor forget when Tor small and not know how make woven grass. Tor only know that Tor make woven grass. It seem easy for Tor.

Tor had Tor-child. Tor-child not know how do thing that Tor do easy. Tor forget that Tor-child need be taught. Tor forget learn not come easy, that many mistake happen. Tor tell friends that Tor-child dumb as rock. Tor-child learn so slow. Tor-child must be lazy.

Tor-mum thought same thing. But all learn slow. All not know how until someone show how. Happenings make thoughts, become learning, become knowing - become rock where more learning and knowing be built. More rock, more knowing, easy learning. No rock, small knowing, hard learning. Tor should not think Tor better than Tor-child when Tor same age.

Not sure what your context and life story is. From my perspective it seemed like an aggressive and vitriolic choice where “stupid” would have sufficed. As an insult it seems to have a lot more cultural weight behind it which is why I called it a slur. Words are all just sounds, it’s the societal landscape which decides what they actually mean. My friends were telling me they’ve been hearing that word used a lot more frequently as an insult than they remembered from a couple of years ago, so I was particularly primed to make a comment on it.

I am not in favour of censorship of people’s words at the state level. Language is a community project which should be dealt with at a community level. Which is why I said something. I think we should try to be a bit kind in how we speak.

Now that I think about it I don’t think calling people stupid is helpful either. I feel like a lot of “stupidity”, especially as relates to politics, is about low quality schooling and a social media landscape which is designed to implant and further certain beliefs.

Yeah anyway, I guess, mostly I’m tired of watching the world crumble around me and would like to start building things so this mostly ended up as a pile of my random thoughts. I hope you’re having a less tiring day today 😊

People are flawed. Education quality is also a systemic problem which has caused many to not reach the potential they might’ve had. But I don’t think using the R-slur will help?

My uncle’s neighbour’s cat used to do that to him. Now they have a cat. The neighbour gave up trying to get the cat to come back.

Do they not know the joke is that you will definitely regret it?

God I hate corporations.

We don’t have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say “heel” though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is “thenar” and “hypothenar”, but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

They… are?

H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti! H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti!!!

Hate to break it to ya bruv, but if that was the reaction, maybe the difference was in the comparative quality of the output ;)

Black cats with a white tuft of fur on the chest are often thought to be cat sidhe in the British Isles. There’s a famous story about one such cat - “One evening an old man was travelling home and he saw a group of six black cats walking on their hind legs bearing a coffin and announcing “The King of Cats is dead, the King of Cats is dead”. Then another cat came up to the old man and said “Tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toldrum is dead.” The man went home to tell his wife about the strange occurance, but no sooner than he had relayed the final words, his cat, Tom, jumped up and announced “Tim Toldrum is dead? Why, then I’m the King of Cats!” And he leapt up the chimney and was never seen again.”

Was für 'ne schöne Mieze!

Unfortunately every second I spend not at work when I should be at work causes BIG STRESS which eclipses the regular stress that work creates.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else’s house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.

I think it was mostly an excuse to post jokes, but some people do believe being repressed is a sign of a stronger person. Or that “self care” is bad in some way - most of that comes from the lingering religious shame many were brought up with.

Wisdom is understanding that all word categories are largely arbitrary, based on the distinctions which are needing to be made at any one time, and thus to apply the scientific, botanical definition of “fruit” to a general culinary context is foolish.
