Firebirdie713 , to mildlyinfuriating in Stop making short men feel miserable at clubs!

As a short dude (5’ 0"), you give short dudes a bad name.

You assume you know everything about everyone, you treat people like walking stereotypes instead of treating them like actual individuals, and you refuse to even consider that people are avoiding you for your personality instead of your height. All the while, you are blaming women for a problem that, even if it did exist as much as you insist, would largely be perpetuated by the men who run the clubs, not the women who can get in for free and usually just want to be left alone so they can dance with their friends.

Are there a lot of areas where we face actual discrimination because we fall outside standard height considerations? Sure, I can think of several. None of them have to do with whether I get into a club. And you don’t make your case by using discriminatory language and being a misogynistic ass.

I can guarantee you that your attitude is hindering your social life far more than your height. There are plenty of women who love short men, but so many of them end up needing to constantly worry about their man’s ego that they don’t think it is worth it.

In other words: men like you, no matter the height, are the reason women choose the bear. Grow up, solve your own insecurities, and stop assuming that you know what is going through people’s minds every minute of the day.

Even though it’s the wrong continent, if OP did this by memory, their geography is great! There are many people that would need to look at a map.

It’s illegal to post photos of the Eiffel Tower at night. (No one cares.)

Track_Shovel OP ,

Really?

ArmokGoB ,

The lighting is copyrighted, so it’s technically copyright infringement. They only seem to care if you do it in a professional/commercial capacity though.

I’ll start obeying French law when they extradite Roman Polanski

He’s not in France, so that’s tricky.

Track_Shovel OP ,

I’m sorry, fucking what?

How can lighting, or the sight of something be copyright?

Fuck what wonderful captialistic hellscape we live in

ArmokGoB ,

Architecture is an artistic medium, so it’s subject to copyright. It gets a little complicated though, because this wasn’t legally decided until the latter half of the 20th century.

Johanno ,

While architecture could be copyrighted. Public buildings are excluded from that for obvious reasons. This includes the eifel tower.

ArmokGoB ,
Gork ,

Does the architect hold the copyright of a photograph that a photographer has taken though?

I can see it getting murky quickly. What if the building is in frame, but is not the focus of the photograph. Can the architect still claim copyright infringement on that particular photo?

Capricorn_Geriatric ,

The Eiffel Tower in the meme is as illegal as the Rattaouile frame since if the photo is from a broadcast the royalties have already been dealt with.

Brazilians see this map and start tossing conspiracy theories about how fossil fuel cuts are a UN plot to seize the Sahara

Also is it me or do these borders look dangerously sensible for Africa?

LastoftheDinosaurs , to programming in LLMs as interactive rubber ducks (or Q&A trainers)
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

That’s exactly how I’ve been using it all along. I didn’t know it had a name, but I opened a previous conversation and simply asked, 'Review our conversation. Is this rubber duck debugging?

Got this:

Yes, this conversation does align with the concept of “rubber duck debugging,” which is a method where a developer explains their code or problems to an inanimate object, such as a rubber duck, in order to clarify their thinking and uncover solutions.

Key Aspects of Rubber Duck Debugging in Our Conversation:

  1. Explaining the Problem: You’ve been explaining issues and errors in your code step-by-step, as well as discussing the structure and organization of your files and directories.
  2. Step-by-Step Problem Solving: We went through the process of debugging various issues, such as errors related to missing modules, routing problems, and configuration issues.
  3. Clarifying Thought Process: The conversation involved clarifying certain technical aspects, which mirrors how a developer might talk through their code to better understand it themselves.
  4. Iterative Troubleshooting: We’ve repeatedly revisited issues and refined our approach, which is characteristic of how rubber duck debugging helps to identify the root cause of a problem.

While the term “rubber duck debugging” typically involves explaining the code to an inanimate object, in this case, you’ve been using me as a “virtual rubber duck” to guide you through the process and help identify errors. This technique is often helpful for developers to slow down, think critically, and uncover solutions they might not have seen otherwise.

Technically it’s a program so it can’t move, but what I think it means, to give it the befit of the doubt, is an object that can’t talk to you.

I mean, these borders might make for an interesting alt-history scenario?

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

(to my knowledge) they never actually said who controls the means of production. But so called “true communism” is impossible, even in post scarcity, so we can rule that out.

So it’s either capitalist or socialist, and in post scarcity societies, there’s no real difference.

BorgBase allows for append-only backups.

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!
