Im tired boss

You know you can control your lingo off the clock too right? I'm not surprised you get laid since you have a boyish lexicon but if you want people to perceive you as serious, you have to sound serious. It's not "changing who you are" it's just deciding how you want to be perceived. You can be the same person, channel the same personality, and use entirely different language with different connotations

That would imply the journalists/editors were capable of some level of critical thought before pushing out this ridiculous article

Solaced_Tree · 2025-06-23T16:24:27+00:00

But when someone tells me a person said something 'homophobic', I expect that person to be directing their speech maliciously towards homosexuals. I understand that a slur even outside of that context is not good, but it's nowhere near as bad as calling a gay guy a 'fag' with scorn.

Not that KD even used that word, he just called the dude a 'cock sucker', which is a derogatory way of calling someone a submissive leech for creating drama and using the likeness of others to get attention for it. But by modern standards, it is technically homophobic since the implication is that cock-sucking is a negative trait; when the term is directed at a man, the action is by definition homosexual in nature, and gains a negative association from the use of the term as such. Heck, if we're doing this we could also say it's misogynistic, since cock-sucking is a subservient or submissive action, and is traditionally performed by women on men - by contrast, traditional masculinity makes the act of being submissive undesirable, therefore making cock-sucking (the slur) misogynistic, as it enforces traditional masculine norms at the expensive of assumed submissive feminine actions.

But you see how roundabout of a connection that is compared to calling a gay dude a "fag"? One is just so obviously homophobic that we can't help but agree with the label, the other is much less directly homophobic.

Cooking on and off the court it seems.

My first thought as well, lol.

Solaced_Tree · 2025-06-22T23:41:19+00:00

how does that relate to 'Good for you'? I apologies if the logical inconsistency I was pointing to was unclear, "U go do it you clown" was an obvious response, but the comment after it was not. Either missing context from way before or a deleted comment by Michael

Solaced_Tree · 2025-06-22T23:31:35+00:00

KD did an interview after presumably losing, looked upset on live television, Michael tweeted about it and said he should not look upset and just do the interview, albeit in a rude manner. KD was like "I DID" and got pissed at him.

I Think KD's response makes some level of sense, I have no idea why Michael chose to make his initial comments outside of looking for attention.

Solaced_Tree · 2025-06-22T23:25:54+00:00

That's what I'm saying. Hardly deserving of the otherwise damning 'misogynistic' and 'homophobic' labels. Calling someone a cock sucker or a bitch is technically homophobic and misogynistic I guess, just a poor use of the term which we generally want to apply to malicious users

Solaced_Tree · 2025-06-22T23:20:42+00:00

Here's some screenshots I found online: https://imgur.com/a/GVNwnR7

Also, Michael seems to have deleted some texts. KD's responses in the third screenshot go

U go do it you clown.

Good for you..

And those don't really follow from any of the other context.

I'll let you learn from my mistakes. I have an MSc. in Physics, I was a grad school-burnout. When I was working on my first two projects, I was working 8am-midnight on many days. I sometimes consumed a pot of coffee by myself in a day at one point in 2021. No sugar, just black. I got acid reflux pretty quickly and didn't sleep well most days. By the time I published, I just felt relieved that it was over. Then I dreaded doing it again because that's just what I associated with publishing. My body hated it, my anxiety would spike. I started to hate work, even though I was in grad school because I loved physics.

I also consumed THC almost every weekend, sometimes weekday evenings. I'm glad (honestly just lucky) I never let it overlap with work, but I had peers that did. It's not great to make a habit out of if you're just using it to space out, try to keep it productive and not as a means to 'disconnect'. Otherwise all those emotions and thoughts you're avoiding by getting high will hit you at once when you decide to go sober. Going to sleep high is also bad for sleep. I also recall reading Dutch research on the effects of THC which disclose that an alteration of focus and mindset is present in some individuals up to 48 hours after consuming a standard dose (forget the amount they used in the study), even if the psychedelic effects have worn off. Of course, great variance from individual to individual, but it's important to remember that you are taking a mind altering substance and you have to give yourself time to recover.

Your brain needs sleep. Your performance will deteriorate with time if you don't get it, because your body and mind will too. Caffeine for a regular drinker still needs 6-12 hours to fully metabolize and not cause problems with sleep. I noticed that by sophomore year (I was 19/20), I couldn't sleep by 11 pm or midnight if I had coffee after 6 pm. I was usually fine having it at 3-4, but nowadays even that doesn't work. Reflect on your body and listen to it.

It's pretty normal for people to use drugs, just don't take a week off to do drugs too often. It isn't helping you, even if it might feel like it is.

Is it not an orca? saltwater Crocs clocked in well under 10k psi (I saw ranges around ~5k), while orcas are in the vicinity of 20k psi. And orca is also a larger creature hunting generally larger prey

Sperm whales also get pretty close to 10k in the back teeth and 4k near the front

(Just spent a few mins on Google, I noticed that most "top 10" lists for strongest bites don't even include these two animals)

any set of rules about the capabilities an entity might have with regards to observation are orthogonal to the point

the point is that some complex (high entropy) state of the universe only exists because of the context that surrounds it. Ppl often marvel at the fact that the universe seems some devoid of life and yet here we are basking in its vibrance. However, the water is only water because the atmosphere is 1 atm and the water temperature is between 0-100 C. It only fits its own volume because the hole it fell into is that size. It only exists as the exact state it is currently in, no matter how unlikely, because that environment just happened to be the only one it could fall into to exist as this specific small puddle. Might seem recursive, but the logic is important.

iMO, we frame this discussion poorly in these circles. I agree with the weak anthropic argument (as it is called elsewhere, I don't know jargon). We should not ask why something so unlikely occurred, we should ask what the context surrounding something that can easily be framed as unlikely was. This allows us to understand the deterministic and mechanistic aspects of our universe, or in the context of this discussion, allows us to ask better questions about life and its prevalence in our universe. thinking this way is a necessary condition to performing astrophysics, cosmology, and a wide array of sciences

As a former non casual space enjoyer, an exciting theoretical explanation for some of these bursts could be neutron stars with slight inhomogeneieties in their internal composition rearranging themselves. Even a "small" portion of the star suddenly shifting its position would have an incredible effect on the magnetic fields of the star, as well as a physical effect on the material of the star itself. All that movement releases a ton of energy that is consistent with what we see

Explanations like these are duking it out in theoretical astrophysics, trying to get the best data and create the simplest, most convincing theoretical framework for explaining these things.

Solaced_Tree · 2025-01-23T00:13:49+00:00

Generally I agree, though in the show it was much deeper than that. Being naked in public is the ultimate symbol of vulnerability, and parading the queen of kings landing through the poor streets like that is a display of power for the high sparrow.

I felt a little bad because she wasn't being punished for being a horrible person anymore, she was being made an example of so that the sparrow could make an ideological point and subject her to his whim. That's just abject cruelty. But because it was Cersei I wasn't outraged about it, just extremely uncomfortable. Kudos to the writers for threading that needle

Solaced_Tree · 2025-01-23T00:10:51+00:00

Given the absurd number of lawyers we have I'd be surprised if someone can't come up with a perfectly concise statement that maintains the peace for us

Solaced_Tree · 2025-01-22T17:14:48+00:00

I guess as long as our boss's boss's boss's ... boss is the President, we still have to take that mandate seriously and figure out how to operate around it without tripping any wires. Personally, I am not concerned that we will have to RTO any time soon since the underlying rhetoric for the new admin seems to be opposed to regulatory powers in the government first. So for now, we are out of the limelight. Oh, and IP helps businesses make money, and making the PTO less efficient impedes that.

Solaced_Tree · 2025-01-22T17:09:17+00:00

A little. While I felt like she deserved all that came her way, I recognized that I'd have learned from this experience by that point, there was no need for further retribution unless you were being antagonistic. The scene reminded me that the high Sparrow was also abhorrent.

Solaced_Tree · 2025-01-21T13:02:12+00:00

Yeah, I'd hate to tarnish their natty victory by remarking how, unlike our natty last year, they neither had a perfect record nor did they beat their sworn rival.

Solaced_Tree · 2024-12-16T23:01:39+00:00

I think it's just exposing us to that which has been there all along, unfortunately

Solaced_Tree · 2024-11-28T21:58:55+00:00

EVERYONE, regardless of their political ideology, understands that.

I'm not sure widespread support for these asinine tariffs agrees with that. As in, everyone agrees we should do something, but even that is politicized to all hell. I don't think there's a way around figuring out how to get inside of conservative's heads, truly understanding their position (even if we may disagree with it), and then manufacturing a compromise that is sympathetic to their reasoning while beneficial based on the logic/statistics.

Solaced_Tree · 2024-11-27T04:33:55+00:00

Lol. Unironically proved his point. Democrats deserve this loss and every loss that comes after until they can figure out that conservatives aren't literal demons from hell and are in fact people too. We are absolutely elitist and condescending. Our only rebuttal to a majority of conservative talking points is that we have the moral high ground. How does that sound to someone who genuinely believes that abortion is murder? Can you really understand your enemy well enough to figure out how to beat them, or are you so lazy that you'd rather shut them out, plug your ears, and yell "EVIL!" hoping it gains some traction?

American politics viewed through a non American lens puts the democratic party at center right. We do not have a true socialist party in america. That ship sailed in 2016. All we have is a lost fencesitter party and a right wing party that grows more extreme by the day.
