  • Only with friction. Without it you’ll build exactly enough speed on your fall to the center of gravity that it carries you out to the same distance on the other side.

    Think a swing on the playground. If you’re high up and swing down you build up speed and that speed carries you up again, just that due to friction you have to input energy to keep going up to the same height.

    Fun story: my dad built a swing for my niece recently and the friction was very low. When i tested it, i was swinging standing up and because almost no friction slowed me down I was unable to stop and got quite scared. I had to sit down while swinging and put my feet on the ground to break.


  • So in German we have different forms of job descriptions depending if the gender of the person. So doctor would be Arzt for a dude and Ärztin for a lass. Now when talking about a mixed gender group of doctors, the plural form of the masculine form would be generally used. This kinda leads to people always thinking about a group of male doctors. To mitigate that, there’s been multiple attempts to make more inclusive forms. For the most time listing both forms was the go to, as in Ärzte und Ärztinnen. The gender star was an attempt to combine it into Ärzt*Innen in which the star was read as a little pause. Other ways to write that pause include ÄrztInnen where you just capitalize the I and my favourite Ärzt:Innen, as the : is read as a pause by screen readers while the star is read as it’s own word by then. My actual favourite form however is gendering after Phettberg which entirely gets rid of the gender and builds a different plural: Ärztis. It also sounds cute and I’m all for more cuteness. That form sadly is used nowhere.


  • Been the younger sibling to an abusive 4 year older brother. Beating him up wasn’t an option as even small age differences are big regarding strength. All i could do was de-escalate, lock my room (and turn my key slightly because our rooms had the same key shape so he could just push my key out from the outside and unlock it) and hope he doesn’t still manage to get in there. I honestly have no advise for this to op :( My situation ended when my brother got drafted to the military for 2 years or so and when he was back he moved out.


  • 100% agree. While i love showing off my general form some days because I’m proud of myself, it’s never just the chest and if something is visible there it’s by accident and not meant for public viewing. Sometimes it’s very hot out which might get me to put on fairly loose blouses but that’s not for show and more for me to not die of a heat stroke. So unless we’ve been dating for a bit, no, please don’t stare at my chest. If we’ve been dating however, i might do it on purpose 😋



  • I don’t know if it’s a problem with my OS but i couldn’t select audio sources. The button was grayed out and set to “all system audio” so I didn’t use it as the quality of clips was worse than GPU Screen Recorder. I just want to watch stuff on the side while playing games without that audio getting recorded but i heard doing it through OBS has a bigger impact on performance.


  • You go say “assassinate people on stage if you don’t like them” to a crowd with more guns than people and where shootings are already a daily occurrence.

    I’d not only be worried for me and my friend but for the people just standing in my audience as well. Remember the time some dude killed a lot of concert goers in Las Vegas i think from his hotel window? That’s a lot more than just risking your own live by saying that.


  • Look i read a lot of your stuff and agree with a bunch of it and disagree with a bunch which is fine but NEVER downplay the terrors nazi Germany caused again. You don’t know shit about anything if you think the US is more genocidal and racist than nazi Germany. The US is a shit country with a broken system that lets you choose between trash and a dumpster fire but holy shit was Nazi Germany bad. You seem to be from the US so maybe you don’t get taught a lot about it. Yes, the US is complicit in genocide but there’s levels to it. The Germans were worse, they’d tell you to pack all your important belongings if you were a Jew or anyone else on their list of undesirables. Then they’d throw you in a train after taking all your important belongings you so neatly sorted for them so they don’t have to put big effort into searching your place for riches. You’d get treated as an animal in a container and brought to a camp, split up from your family. At this point your fate almost certainly was death. You’d get put to work. Near constant work with not enough food to sustain your body so you’d slowly decrease more and more day after day until you die. You might also get your still alive body experimented on in full pain by doctors. If the camp was already too full for new arrivals (as they didn’t just go after their own population but they waged war all over and put more and more people in camps) or if they just felt like it they’d put you down like an animal, be it gas chambers or other methods. Like i get that the prison system in the US is ethnically targeted slavery and the US has and had their fingers in a lot of fucked up shit but don’t ever use fucking nazi Germany for your hyperbole again.

    Windows also does not have 100% compatibility. Try playing something like age of wonders 1 on current windows. I could run in out of the box on steam deck but not on my pc that at the time had windows 10. I think Windows no longer has compatibility with win 98 and lower but i might be misremembering.


  • Because some people can’t see well enough to read the text on the image or identify what’s happening in it. They use screen readers that read text out loud for them but those screen readers can’t recognize the text or context of the picture either so we put a text description, so people with bad vision can still enjoy the memes through those screen readers

    So what you’re saying is you’re scared of the supposed negative impacts on society. The negative impact being less people are depressed and less people kill themselves as they can openly be who they are without someone shoving their heteronormative worldview based on misinformation down their throats. Interesting stance to take
