At least we now have an answer to the age old question, what do you get when you skin and gut a hot dog? X

Years ago I hypothesized the possibility of such a structure with seven triangle vertices providing negative curvature for the area about the inner equator and an equal number of five triangle vertices providing positive curvature for the outer equator, padded out with six triangle vertices.

Yes, this is a minor issue, but on the other hand it is a matter of *supreme* frustration.

Not yet, unless you're counting social murder which is insidious because culpability is obscured. Social murder is America's preferred method of killing, especially for the homeless. No fingerprints, no video.

I actually like grapefruit, I never use sugar or a grapefruit spoon. I seldom eat it though because my digestive tract doesn't like it, I have to limit myself to just half each day. :(

I think the privatization of space exploration is a mistake that will slow progress while funneling billions of government dollars into a few hands, a monopsony, following the tradition of letting the public sector develop tech before slapping a corporate logo on it and guarding it with lawyers.

It's difficult to communicate to them how the concept of God seems born out of essentialist/agentive paradigms that appeal to the human psyche, but have nothing to do with the symmetries of spacetime that the universe is observed to exclusively give a fuck about.

Forgot to put in alt text and then saw a post saying you can require alt text in settings, but anyway, the picture is of a stellated octahedron constructed using modular origami in my hand with a quarter for scale. I'd argue that for conceptual reasons it should be called simply an octahedron.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people arbitrarily apply foreign grammar to loan words long after their widespread adoption, like when people insist on "the data are" or "culs de sac". Wait, no, we're not supposed to respond to the engagement bait. Nevermind.

Also something to think about is how we decide who gets to determine their race through self identification, the inherent ambiguity to the edges of this made up category can really only be moved out of sight and out of mind, its foundations built upon a heap of nothingness.

Yes, I think that is the way to go, I was mainly just thinking in terms of how whiteness operates, and how complicated it gets at the periphery of a social construct where a single person can experience varying degrees of privilege and marginalization.

Whiteness has no physical reality, to be seen as white is to be white. A white-passing person is someone who is white until they aren't, or more accurately those who get kicked out first, this only seems strange because it has been pressed into our minds that whiteness is real and absolute.

Especially now that we know they painted their statues bright colors, presenting them as unpainted promotes a false vision of history where white people are imagined as uniquely drawn to some idealized platonic conception of beauty.

No, that's just name calling. I'm blocking you now rather than giving you further engagement.

Without context, words are just meaningless sounds, so slurs can't exist for white people because there is no history of oppression to contextualize them as slurs. When a white person is called a cracker there's no sense of "Remember your place. We used to own you."

I'm basing this off of the wiki summary, lemme know if this assessment is incorrect, the book purports to be about the relativity of truth, but the example it gives there is an unambiguously correct, though horrifying, version of events, negating the book's central premise.

When I saw how he brought up personal issues of Natalie Wynn as rhetorical leverage, I thought, he needs to get offline for a few months, when I saw his comments on Weimar banking, I decided it needed to be more permanent.

Though if I had to make a wild guess I'd wager his sense of smell is fine, the meds really are putting a weird taste in his mouth, and the irrigation kicks up enough to allow it to exceed the habituation threshold, and waters neutral smell doesn't mask it. But idk

Originally the machines were to have enslaved humanity for our processing ability, but they weren't sure how salient the concept would be to the average 90s viewer, so they changed it to the goofy electricity generation. Perhaps its is all that remains of a short lived milking rewrite.
