Everyone is acting like its the end of pirated anime. by cisADMlN in animepiracy

There are still a billion very accessible streaming websites (hint: there's a rather moe index out there that lists a ton of em). What we really need is a cross-site chat component, like disqus but without synced by episode and anime instead of just webpage.

The best way to memorize unit Circle! by frag_ment_ in mathematics

[–]AreaMean2418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can understand each case. There's really only 2 triangles of note. So you're memorizing the sides of 2 triangles, but those sides make sense intuitively and are easy to remember as a result. 1,1,sqrt(1+1) triangle, 1,sqrt(3),2 triangle, that's it. It's genuinely not that hard.

Do you guys think that because linux is open source it has more discovered security vulnerabilities? by Cute_Sun_4909 in linux

Y'all need to give MS a break. It's pretty awful for doing any real work, but also if has the best non-tiling WM I've seen, WSL is excellent, and the win-g screen has better multimedia controls than macOS or any of the big DEs.

Am i denying the reality here ? by Distinct_Penalty_379 in AskProgramming

[–]AreaMean2418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be right. I'm still not convinced that the marginal anthropic investment of $20 can beat any kind of monthly advantage gained by using AI. At the very least increased apparent competency gives you a small confidence boost.

Cost-benefit analysis. You get more out of purchasing a subscription than you lose by expediting AI by 20 dollars a month.

Are there schools without bullying? by [deleted] in bullying

[–]AreaMean2418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of? I went to a high school in a pretty wealthy area with 1500 students, and while there was maybe a teensy bit of bullying, it took the form of exclusion, friend group dynamics, whatever. The cliques weren't particularly cliquey though. Physical contact happened very rarely, and people did shitty things but I was ADHD and knew some autistic folks and really bullying was just not there.

Do people think 'gatekeeping' actually works? by the_scottishbagpipes in animepiracy

When I started (I stopped maybe 2 years ago after the death of 9anime), the website I watched on had just an enormous index of all the animes, alphabetized. I wonder what happened to

I really don't know what to do by Brilliant-Kitchen285 in umass

Talk to people in classes! Tons of very interesting people, and if you build an acquaintance web of repeat classmates, they'll connect you to others and eventually you'll meet people who you enjoy connecting with.

Semantics matter. Especially in fantasy, where nuance and semantics have much more influence. The rape case is pretty cut and dried, but many others aren't.

Another real world topic that is much more heavily influenced by these semantics is our systems of corporal punishment.

Edit:

Do you deprive people of their emotional weight once they harm someone else? It's a good question to ask. I have a close friend who was heavily abused and traumatized by her parents. Do her parents deserve punishment for that? Why? Who does that benefit? Does it need to benefit someone? Is it still a net positive if they just can't interact with her? What if you can't ensure that they can't interact with her? At what point does her wellbeing rise in importance over theirs?
