It can’t be explained directly, by itself. They’re part of a bigger picture.

Straight men are attracted to women on the whole - legs, arms, waist, face, chest, back, it’s all good. Whatever force it is that makes us attracted to women, it’s not something that we chose or decided. We just do.

Since boobs are a sign of femininity, they’re attractive to us on exactly that level! They fit into our idea of what women look like.

I like life imprisonment for heinous people specifically because it seems like the less merciful option. Look at how many mass shooters and terrorists also take their own lives during the act - suicide is one of their objectives. If we can capture them alive and make them live in a small room, eating unexciting food and sleeping on thin mattresses for decades still to come - that’s the ultimate rebuke to their ideologies of death. Execution, on the other hand, is giving them what they seek.

It’s amazing. I am a Japanese learner, and being able to find Japanese words quickly - with English definitions and explanations - is very useful.

Law enforcement has been collecting fingerprints for over 100 years now, and the history of using fingerprints for other reasons goes even further back.

The error here is that we decided to start using an easily obtainable piece of data as a “lock” on our phones and computers. For many reasons, it’s better to use a password or PIN.

I decided to try to stop swearing in college, to see if it would improve my attitude - and to see if anyone would notice.

Both turned out to be true. People found me pleasant to work with and hang around. I recommend it, personally!

I had no idea it was even released.

There are a whole lot of “templating” libraries which do what you’re asking for. I have used Hiccup for Clojure and Giraffe for F# successfully, and you can probably find others for languages you already know.

Splatoon 1 actually had local multiplayer - it was 2-player only, but for those of us with kids, it was good enough. Split screen multiplayer in Splatoon 2/3 would’ve been great.

Pretty much nothing you said is true, it was not “designed from the ground up to be frustrating” and the other statements are too vague to even bother attacking. “Not even wrong” is the phrase that comes to mind.

You didn’t even mention an example of a game which would count as “something good”.

QubesOS. When you need security and don’t need to play games, this is objectively the best distro.

NixOS for me. It’s a package manager (a very nice, declarative one) that you can use on any Linux (or Mac), and there’s also an entire distro based on it.

Thank you for this! Gonna download it ASAP.

This looks great!

Good to know! I’ve been using local testing and fortunately haven’t run into a case where the tests pass local and fail on their servers. Yet.

My most intense solution so far had been a very multi-core Knapsack solution. The tests they provided are pretty minuscule, which probably helped.

I block meme communities and AI art. I’ll unblock AI art once the machines figure out how fingers work. I don’t block porn except when it’s outside of my interests (I’m not into men or furries, for example).

You might consider unblocking the meta communities - it can sometimes be illuminating to see how other places are run, and give you ideas to improve your own instance.

We don’t have downvotes on my instance, and it’s an amazing difference. I recommend it!

I generally just upvote everything I like, no real thought process involved.

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Qanba before - they definitely have some interesting joysticks.

As someone who routinely watches YT through Invidious and NewPipe, I haven’t changed my habits.

The Electoral College.

I’m not into feet specifically, but when I ask for “Veronica Mars in a string bikini” I don’t want to get “Veronica Mars with unattached toes.” It’s distracting AF.

Doesn’t happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.
