Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says WELL ACKTUALLY??

I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now

You'll never see techbros create an app that researches and coordinates or streamlines the process of applying for all available aid packages. Or free training programs or services someone may qualify for. Because they have no fucking concept of what life is like for nearly 100 million low income people or those living in systemic poverty.
But for sure, an app that uses AI and video capture to improve your golf swing

Any of y'all use a pH meter or test strips for food and/or soil?
Recommend one?

We used to us pH trips for soil. You put the soil sample in 2 parts de-ionized water, one part soil. Cover and shake. Use the test strips in the water. Or a ph meter.

Do you have trouble communication metric sizes with Americans?

If so, I have you covered!

I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"

@marquisdegeek
TBF, every measuring system is arbitrary, and while I admire the simplicity of the metric system, there are practical reasons to use many imperial measurements. I mean, sure you can bake a cake with 6 grams of salt and 15ml of vanilla, but why break out the scale and graduated cylinder when the teaspoon and tablespoon are right there?

This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

Every Black rapper has a political opinion. Every single one. But you only hear about the political opinions of the ones that support Trump. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Because that's what US news, which is tuned for white eyes, pushes.

Many white Dems and white GOP folk genuinely believe that Black folk only vote for Black folk, and that Black folk blindly vote for whoever a Black celebrity tells them to vote for. They're genuinely surprised when Black folk don't vote for Kanyes or Hershels or Tim Scotts. Every time.

Man, thanks to my two infections in 2020 and 2022 I have absolute brain rot at times. I forget stuff so damn fast and easy, never had that before. And sometimes I'm standing there, looking for words in stories I was telling a million times before. Fckd up.

Saying “I support the right of Jewish people to exist” is already a little weird to me since I don’t see that as questionable (guess it is for some) but it definitely sounds bad if you add a “but” on the end. That’s not as supportive as you think it is, people who keep saying it.

I'll say this, too, Jewish people have a right to a safe homeland, and Palestinians have a right to safely live in their historic homeland as well. The same injustice was done to many Palestinans as was done to the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere. We can't undo the past, but we shouldn't gloss it over.
And neither side has the right to kill thousands of innocent civilians, or starve millions.

’s Republican governor, Henry McMaster, signed a bill on Tuesday that bars health professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries, prescribing puberty blocking drugs and overseeing hormone treatments for patients under 18. The state now joins about two dozen others that have passed laws restricting or banning what doctors call gender-affirming care for minors. (1/2)
