What show is this?
I enjoyed this animation of the meme in the OP.
I find it very appropriate this post came out of lemmy.zip
If you’re like me and wondered what a dead key is…
A dead key is a special kind of modifier key on a mechanical typewriter, or computer keyboard, that is typically used to attach a specific diacritic to a base letter.[1] The dead key does not generate a (complete) character by itself, but modifies the character generated by the key struck immediately after.
Just curious: was this based off an existing song and if so, what is it?
When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my “kids these days” moment.
Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren’t trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that’s what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.
Hey now, I found Wheatley charming. AI in real life, not so much.
I cannot help but see this as a diaper pattern…
According to Wikipedia, Biblical scholars essentially agree with you, to the point
Bible scholars even maintain that the Bible does not claim that masturbation would be sinful.
which is pretty cool especially given my prior belief that most people agreed it was about lust. Wikipedia does also say that some Christian denominations have interpreted the sin to be as lust, though.
And Catholicism, at least, still doesn’t like the ejaculation without procreation:
Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who in exercising it deliberately frustrate its natural power and purpose sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.
Small wonder, therefore, if Holy Writ bears witness that the Divine Majesty regards with greatest detestation this horrible crime and at times has punished it with death. As St. Augustine notes, “Intercourse even with one’s legitimate wife is unlawful and wicked where the conception of the offspring is prevented. Onan, the son of Juda, did this and the Lord killed him for it.”
(number 54 and 55 in a Pope Pius XI encyclical)
(I never thought I’d be discussing religion on programming.dev lol)
I get your point, but considering that we got the word “Onanism” from the Bible I was thinking about some Christian denominations’ views of why God wasn’t happy with Onan in the Bible: because he ejaculated without trying to procreate. That is why I thought it was relevant to tie those two things together like that.
I figure it is called that because both the pull-out method and masturbation for penis-havers involves spilling your seed somewhere outside of a woman’s womb.
oh god I always read JSON like “J” + “son”, “son” being like a Spanish word for “to be”. Or “J” + “sewn”. I can’t believe I’ve never read it like the human name “Jason”.
you’re they type to micro commit
Thanks for a much shorter and better way to explain this tendency of mine and why I rebase a lot, yoinking this phrase.
I literally just posted this in !software_gore@programming.dev because they had the same energy so I found it on the original Reddit post remembered this one too. Great minds think alike?
“Dear Mr. Architect!” is such a charming start to the letter, sort of getting “kid’s letter to Santa” vibes if the kid dreamed of being an architect.
Too bad the rest of the letter isn’t quite as charming :P
Shamelessly stolen from a Reddit post that made me laugh when I randomly remembered it today. Figured it was worth reposting to Lemmy if I laughed upon remembering it and not just upon first sight.
I’d understanding actively pressuring someone to share their salary being a faux-pas. Admittedly, just sharing your own may make some people feel pressured to share theirs out of reciprocity, but just sharing your own salary generates nowhere near the same amount of pressure as outright telling someone “share your salary or you’re a bad person on the side of The Man!”
I hope the amount of people sharing their salary increases and talking about it becomes normalized.
Have a Windows for gaming, going to switch to Linux once I can get a good deal on an external hard drive to back it up. Can confirm I’m making the switch because of the enshittification.
