How does that actually work?
My first EE math course basically speedran a review of highschool math in 2-3 weeks (the entire 2.5 years worth of it) and then spent the next 3 months teaching roughly the same amount of new stuff as our 3 year high school math had compared to elementary school. Some math geniuses could probably deal with that but I have a hard time seeing how anyone else could (or why they'd bother with the high school subject in the first place if they were at that level).

Trump was rather infamous for spending most of his first term on Twitter…
I’ve seen some ”actual” non-binary people. They are also obviously on the autism spectrum, which suggests to me that it’s just a failure of ”humaning” and latching on NB as a sort of pre-made template how to express that.

Do they actually? These guys look like fairly normal soldiers to me and not that much from eg. Finnish conscripts.

To my outsider view the problem isn’t so much ”deal with it” but a mixture of denial ”yes, but this isn’t actually a problem for you” and moralising (talking about ”picking another protein” which is heavily vegetarian coded instead of just saying pork and poultry exist).

See, your comment is exactly what I mean by the "NPC" part. This assumption that I and other people like me shouldn't be allowed to seek our own goals and instead should lie down and meekly follow another country's opinions, particularly when you clearly aren't even aware of the recent history, such as why Finland joined Nato (Russia trying to conquer Ukraine) or when the Russian hybrid aggression started (years before Finland joined Nato).

Why would I give a fuck about Canada?
I know many people on Motte are completely incapable of understanding the world isn't composed of NPCs but some of us actually happen to live in those countries that Russia has been actively threatening and sabotaging for years.

What on earth does that have to do with Russian militaristic aggression?
SkoomaDentist

Yes, that huge expansionist power that has for years engaged in hybrid warfare against various European countries and keeps constantly publicly threatening them.

More like establishing a precedent that Russia can extend its influence to European countries with military force. That's a big fucking change for Europe.

Don’t Kardashians have Armenian roots which was a notably Christian ethnic group?

That’d be the recently installed vice-precident’s wife returning to her PMRC days and wishing something would be done about rap music that’s ruining the nation’s youth.

A lot of music discoverability seems to be based around the idea that I like the elements of the specific song and want songs that share those elements.
I wish it was. Unfortunately it's largely just clustering based on what bands / albums people like. If it was actually based around elements, I wouldn't always get shit tier recommendations.

There are no digital radio transmissions in Finland. The skips I heard must have happened either in the station’s own equipment or in the streaming to the broadcast equipment.

It’s been a few years since I last watched Aliens, but I’m fairly sure it passes the test by Ripley and Newt talking about the aliens.

I was driving, this morning, and either my radio or the local station was malfunctioning. I swear it was skipping a tenth of a second ahead once or twice a minute. While I would suspect my ancient radio before I’d suspect the regional station’s hardware, I don’t know any way that a normal receiver would accumulate lag, so I wanted to confirm that the beat was inconsistent.
I've heard the same happen once or twice. It's almost certainly a glitch in the matrix digital playback system the station uses or a desync between the transmitter and the streamed digital audio.

Madison Beer who is a consensus 11/10 attractiveness girl
I have to ask: just whose "consensus" is that? She looks like just another thot with far too much makeup (giving the impression that she's trying to hide at best average looks behind all those layers)

Oh, I didn't mean to imply I disagree. Only that the way people generally approach trans issues is almost intentionally designed to avoid reaching meaningful conclusions because they don't separate autistic vs non-autistic transitioners.

I don't have strong opinions one way or other about how autistic men / women differ but I do feel very strongly that they're both absolutely massive confounders unless they're separated from the non-autists when it comes to behavioral questions, such as "what makes someone want to transition?"

They were a couple years into their transition. So my reaction was 1) of course it was Rust lol
You know what being MtF and a Rust enthusiast have in common?
It’s the goddamn autists at it again.
I mean it is a documentary...
