politics @lemmy.world•GOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report
183·6 days agoYou saying she’ll be president in a few years? Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Goddamned right. There were several years when I’d let it go, because Netflix and the like were providing a good, fairly priced service. When they finally gave me the fuck you, I cancelled it on my 10th anniversary as a customer, along with every other streaming service. Took me a minute to get back in the swing, but the salty sea air is so nice again.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?
3·7 days agoOh yeah. Fair enough. I was thinking more “skilled”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?
2·7 days agoThere are many good methods. They aren’t hard to learn as long as you can memorize a few 7-10 move algorithms.
For people recommending using screwdrivers and sticker peeling, they’re actually much easier than that to disassemble and reassemble. Turn one face 45 deg. Pop an edge up. The whole thing will fall apart. Tougher to assemble but not too bad. Only problem is you have a 2/3 change to accidentally assemble an unsolvable corner rotation and a 50% chance to assemble an unsolvable edge flip. Both are easily fixed if you can spot it by flipping any edge and rotating any corners once or twice as needed, but then if you’re able to spot it, you already know that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?
3·7 days agoYes, the Petrus method is my preferred. It is of course suboptimal these days at the highest level but still, I believe, the most logical to reason about.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most unhinged thing someone’s ever told you?
15·12 days agoOh you’re definitely right about that. I’m just saying the default position, in my view, should not be to assume duress.

politics @lemmy.world•Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president
7·12 days agoAgreed but he’d still be a spring chicken in modern terms. I’d rather see max age 50 than min age 35.

211·12 days agoI’m not accusing you of a crime, just being presumptuous and puritanical.

31·12 days agoEven crazier yet: Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it amoral, nor does your worldview support your assumption that the OP is fucked up. They may be, but they may not, and that isn’t for you to judge or assume now is it?

Sounds good. I love you.

Very cool. Learned something new today. Thank you.
Is this tilt shifted? Looks unreal?

Programming@programming.dev•Are there any examples of 'perfect' software?
5·14 days agoHa. I still have an open PR on that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?
7·14 days agoTons of great recommendations here. I didn’t see it mentioned. For somebody into biology, especially apes, Gutsick Gibbon is superb. Erika is wonderful and crazy knowledgeable on the topic of hominins among other things.






I have found a few communities on Matrix that fit that bill to some extent. For some reason they don’t devolve to “general chat” as quickly as most software related Discord servers do, in my experience.
