Croquette OP ,

Thanks, from another link in this thread, Borg seems to have wrapper options as a complement to its features.

CanadaPlus , (edited ) to asklemmy in What would happen if you spray a bucket with hydrophobic spray and put water in it?

The water sits in it, but only where gravity holds it. There would be a very pronounced meniscus at the top. That is, if you looked closely the water would dip down really far at the edges before it meets the bucket.

It’s not that hydrophobic substances can’t touch water, it’s that the force of surface tension will oppose it. Unless you’re an ant, surface tension isn’t that impressive vs. most other forces.

Edit: If you have an ant-sized bucket, the water may sit on top of it as a droplet rather than going in.

Has anyone measured the impedance of that bird? It could be in the trillions of ohms! Terrifying if you think about it!

marcos , to startrek in Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist?

It’s absolutely not a communist anarchy. There’s a government, and it controls all those ships, science stations and mining operations. It doesn’t look like URSS-ish communist either, as it’s clearly democratic.

Besides, there exists some form of capitalism in it. It’s just not very intense on the human worlds. And it’s clearly socialist, as everybody is included on the society… So, my guess it’s social-capitalist just like every advanced society today, just way richer than anything we know.

Zaktor ,

Is there capitalism within the Federation? There’s capitalism on Deep Space Nine for sure, but that’s an outpost at a merger of cultures and governments. Not sure if we have seen money from any Federation cultures. Individuals might have and use money to buy things in other cultures, but I’m not sure such things take place within the Federation itself.

marcos ,

People clearly have money to trade with other civilizations, there are human trading transports that clearly care about their cargo, they bet something in poker games, some large projects have “patrons”…

Zaktor ,

External trade with capitalist cultures doesn’t mean the Federation itself has internal capitalism, it’s just a necessity for getting things from cultures outside of it. All the poker on the Enterprise was almost certainly just friendly games with chips, not actual gambling. Picard himself says money doesn’t exist so it’s not like they’re getting a salary. And I can’t recall the projects and patrons you’re referencing, but that could mean someone providing non-monetary support like using their connections or social status to support the project.

And it’s clearly socialist, as everybody is included on the society

Just one give away that you don’t know what socialism and communism is

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When I see female used inappropriately in a post, I always hear it in Quark's voice.

That being said, for all the things wrong with the post, they used female, feminine, man and woman in the correct contexts. THIS TIME! :P

Sartre says you can be angry and furious at the absurd, Camus says to laugh at it. The absurd is the gap between what we expect to happen, and what actually happens.

Many absurdists also believe in a mind-body split (see Nagel’s “What is it like to be a bat?” essay, available for free in pdf format) or that consciousness may be something other than physical and that’s where I tend to disagree with them. In general, the essays tend to be extremely interesting and worth reading even if you disagree. Philosophical literature is usually written so precisely and specifically that it’s unlike other types of reading.

If you can get to the point that it’s okay that nothing inherently matters, it will no longer need to be a coping mechanism.

randoot , to mildlyinfuriating in Stop making short men feel miserable at clubs!

Stop going to clubs if you don’t like them. I’m not short but I still hate their vibe.

Focus on improving yourself and learn to be happy with who you are. Don’t go to clubs.

These people point out how they want female attention at these clubs, only for these women to deliberately ignore them and go up to taller men instead, and start seducing them, like a bunch of sluts

“I was entitled to feeeeeeeemale attention but didn’t get any, therefore the women are sluts.”

Your problem isn’t your height. Your problem is that you’re an unlikeable misogynistic cockwomble

@ValiantDust@feddit.org avatar

You don’t get it, they are only sluts when they are giving other men attention. When they are giving OP attention, they are graceful, heavenly creatures (who should also give him some sex).
