Is this the same lexisnexis that does like book and research paper databases for university libraries?

I hold myself to slightly higher standards. I’m not above insulting and throwing toxicity back, but I am honest about it to stop it from undercutting my argumentation.

I start off with the logic, and when they double down on bullshit and toxicity I just keep spotlighting the terrible rhetoric with no substance. In a “like damn dude, your 3rd grade teacher would be disappointed in your writing” way.

Its not about converting the crackpots, its about pushing back on insane bullshit so others are less likely to become crackpots.

Just to put into perspective the sun is considered a class 1 carcinogen.

Gonna need a research paper cite on that one.

Removing dyes from overly sugary cereals is rearranging deckchairs on the titanic. Its completely missing the point of what makes these foods bad for you.

I’d say Quaternions are necessary purely because they avoid gimbal locking common with 3 axis Euler rotations.

I know in Blender all other rotation options are really just quaterinions under the hood. But an advantage Euler rotations have over quaternions is continuous rotation. I can set 2 key frames with linear extrapolation and have them just continue along each axis forever. Everything quaternion ideally should be bounded to the 4d unit circle.

Its been hitting me. Can’t use old.reddit without logging in and new reddit is an abomination.

Right wingers angry at culture war nonsense and make it their entire personality.

UMIN?

Its less about a food safety problem at taco bell and more of an extremely low quality food problem. Their meat is about 88% beef, binders and fillers and some seasonings.

Do you have any evidence that thats the case?

How so?

If you’re dealing with pain and trauma, therapy might be a good idea. Making dark self depreciating jokes online probably isnt going to actually help you deal with it.

Do everything you can to help the people affected by the policies that isn’t direct violent confrontation. Direct confrontation will be used as an excuse to crack down harder. Warn others of ICE presence, help people get out of an area quickly and safely, defend people being attacked, record the interactions, never be the aggressor against ICE. Its tragic but Alex Pretti and Nicole Goode have become rallying symbols and examples of the awful behavior of ICE. Yes there is a dedicated online effort to smear them, and there are still people countering the messaging. If you find that you’re in a position where simple sabotage is possible, do it.

Make peace with the fact that helping others is a dangerous proposition, and only you can decide what you are capable of doing and how much you’re willing to risk.

I’ve found self deprecating humor or telling stories about fucked up shit happening to you is rarely funny and usually elicits more of a awkward fake laugh and/or pity vibe than a belly laugh vibe.

Lmao it kinda does.

Exactly this too! Try to drown out the assholes with a chorus of positivity.

My actual response depends on the situation and how i’m feeling at any given moment. Usually its just ignore and move on, sometimes I’m feeling in a “be snarky online” mood.

What does it change? Eh maybe someone somewhere will see the pushback on the -ism/-phobia and rethink. I’m not saying it does, it probably doesn’t most of the time, but I’m forever realistically optimistic and recognize I need to put in the work to make real that optimism.
