Wrote a paper on this for a network theory class back in college and came to pretty much the same conclusion. Pages tend to lead to “funnels” of similar general topics, such as Earth, science, etc. and they all make their way upward into philosophy, which is the study of thinking, since thinking is at its core how we perceive the world.

Interestingly there’s two distances from philosophy that pages tend to hover around, the closer one of which is more full of technology and science stuff while the farther one is mostly places. It’s a pretty interesting deep dive

Dropping high explosives on civilians. (Helldivers 2)

I’ve got a folder called “apps with a white background” for shits and giggles. Still adhere to it to this day

Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.

Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought this lmao

I feel ya. I’ve got the same thing. Luckily I’m still young and don’t have kids so I can at least adjust my schedule consistently, but man it sucks having to get up at 6 am on the weekends. The real frustrating bit is that I could totally get up 2 hours later if only I could WFH consistently. But corporate doesn’t like remote work so I have to go into the office at least 2 days a week to sit at a computer all day and program. Wonderful world we live in

I think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.

Professional software developer here. It’s definitely a career. I do agree it’s like art, it requires you to fit stuff together like a puzzle to get it to work. But I don’t think that makes it less of a “serious” career - there’s a lot of money in the field and as the world gets more and more invested in computing it’s become a very in-demand skill.

:f

It’s a reference to the game Baba is You, which allows you to manipulate the rules of the game by moving blocks around to form sentences like “Wall is win” or “Tree is you.” In the picture, someone tries to make a move switching “Baba is You” to “Baba is Win.” This makes touching Baba (the usual player character) the win condition, but it also means you’re no longer controlling Baba so there’s no way to actually move your character to the win condition. I hope that makes sense, if it doesn’t you can look up some gameplay on YT or something. It’s kinda tricky to explain in words.

I love funny pho restaurant names. There’s one near my office called Pho Khang. Their food’s pretty good too which is just the cherry on top.

Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.

There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.

Is the dude on the left the same guy from “A dubious little creature getting up to mischief, this is no good”? Kinda looks like it to me.

Using Mlem myself and with the recent update it’s much more stable and definitely more responsive than the web app. Really scratches that Apollo-shaped itch.
