Stanford and Harvard both have all sorts of interesting lecture series online! Harvard has stuff like urban design, religious history, art history, the relationship between cooking and physics, biology, Chinese history and much more!

Haven’t taken any with Stanford but here’s a link to their catalogue:
Fair, I play more RPGs and whatnot where a knife takes 4 years to injure someone. (Though, a bad sword can take just as long because, I dunno, it’s too dull to chop through this peasant’s leather tunic? Goddamnit Ultima.)
I’d like to think it’s just because online skews young. I remember (with some shame) my stupid teenage anarchist days. Though I do worry that if I had, as so many do nowadays, ensconced myself only in views with which I agreed, maybe I wouldn’t have grown out of it. The more smart people you meet, disagree with and learn from, well, the bigger and more interesting your world becomes.
I love the idea of Lemmy but goddamn, a good chunk of our userbase need to grow up and I’m not sure they ever will.
The guy had a knife, which might have injured one of the cops, maybe.
Holy damn, this has got to be the worst take I’ve read all day/week.
I know in video games, a knife generally doesn’t do much damage but… Just… Wow.
Go outside.
If it wasn’t for insane ideas they’d have to say the cops were maybe not wildly in the wrong here so insanity it is!
I don’t know how weird it is but my cat seems to understand that when faces are talking from the computer screen my hands will be free for the more important duty of skritching.
She has become a hit during team meetings, to the point where one time she was sleeping and didn’t come prompting half the team to send concerned DMs.
Check at the state level. A few states have introduced ranked choice, your state may have someone in the mix trying to make it a thing where you live!
If people vote in the primaries for candidates who support ranked choice voting, then yes.
Why could it not replace an engineer?
The previous limits of technology exploded less than half a decade ago, seems wild to assume that’s the end of that kind of growth.
Why?
A half decade ago we would’ve laughed at a machine passing the Turing test…
Sure, same but that kind of defeats the poiny of the whole exercise…
I wish I could opt out of those messages. On streaming platforms that should be doable! (I really hate spoilers.)
Unless it’s about gun control. At that point, it’s a fact of life that only America has to deal with. Yay exceptionalism!
It’s beautiful. Just stays on point, doesn’t let Miller’s yelling distract him and keeps asking the right question.
I love how these fucks are happy to throw out numbers as long as there are no follow up questions.
Once he turned me into a newt! . . . . . I got better.
Oh my, I haven’t watched the second one since, oh, November 2016, completely forgot that. Thank you, that’s amazing.
I keep waiting to see Ass. Anything that wins that many Oscars has got to be worth it.
I was trying to remember the name and am so glad you brought Angels w Filthy souls.
Well at the point of kicking, I don’t think many people are saying abortion is still an option.
It absolutely is and was under Roe v Wade. Babies start to kick and move as early as 16 weeks. While Roe did allow states to regulate the second trimester (14 - 28 weeks) many states had no restrictions on abortions during this period:

So again, do you think any pregnant mom who has you put your hand on her belly to feel the kid kick, would they agree the kicker is just a clump of cells or a parasite? (Actually, having had many pregnant friends scratch that last one, I think all of them at one point jokingly referred to their internal parasite.)
But the point is that even the most staunch pro-choice of us should have the decency to admit that the thing inside may not quite be a person but is certainly more than a clump of cells. Then the divergence is who has the rights, the outcomes etc. I agree with you that it’s wrong to force a woman to carry a kid to term but, as I keep trying to say, those who disagree have a point.
I know it’s super uncool these days to try and understand those with whom we disagree and even less cool to empathize with them but I promise you, it’s a worthwhile endeavor.
