Is this an old image or do people actually want to do a men's health month in the same month as Pride?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 16 points 1 day ago

No. It doesn't have the Latin ending -us, but actually ends with pus (fom the Greek word for foot). From the Greek origin, the plural would be octopodes. Octopuses is more usual.

“So you’re antiemetic?”

“No, I…”

Makes sense, because you make me want to throw up

Incompleteness means that maybe it's actually impossible to prove or disprove the Riemann hypothesis, or whether P=NP. I think that's a big deal. Maybe the fact that there are meaningful results shown to be unprovable (like axiom of choice) is more satisfying?

For me, "imagine a circle" is kind of a meaningless instruction until you follow it up with something

Oh! Sorry, I watched the youtube version (which has a bit of a shady sponsor)

Great video, very disappointing sponsorship

Sorry if this doesn't fit the thread. Just came across this non-profit called 80,000 hours, after they sponsored NotJustBikes. It "provides free career advice for finding a meaningful career that can help you make a positive impact on the world," which actually sounds nice, but then I realised that they're talking about AI risk and that this comes from the TESCREAL corner.

Yeah... electing Trump a second time kind of ruined that

Pete Martell is shook.

Also I hope it's fake because that's the tiniest aquarium and there's no plants.

Maggie Simpson

You almost gave me a heart attack. It's Marge. (that said, I trust internet perverts enough to go for adult Maggie)

Edit: oh... it's the blurred out one

 

Synopsis: Joshua Munce, Sheila Hardy, Dan Whitely, Max Highland, Tonya Keifer, Marvin Su… this pair has many names, but those names aren’t their own; they’re names to sell. In a rigged and crumbling system, the only way to get ahead is to circumvent the rules, but that comes with its own risks. Police, investigations, prison. Too risky.

There are other ways, more insulated, which are to play assist and help those people. Helping them to disappear, cleaning up messes, escrow services for the handling of good, payment, or guests. Always keeping it professional, keeping things insulated, with layers of distance. When others panic, with too many variables to consider in the heat of the moment, they can do the thinking. The fact they're a mom and dad with two kids isn't the cover, it's the reason.


Author comments: Claw will run for a short time to bridge things in the interim, and is a bit of a pattern break for myself, in more than one way.

I'd describe the intended story as a crime procedural, running for a handful of arcs. A bit of a break from superpowers and magic, but with some other things going on to keep it interesting.

Starts March 9th.

General life update: Moved out, waiting for my stuff to arrive before I can move in. All is (reasonably) well. Did get stuck in the airport for pretty much a full day in total and arrived to find the water isn't hooked up in my new apartment, plus had time with family, so that's why things are launching next week and not tonight. I know the sci-fi story was much-hyped, but given circumstances (including the artist I hired for the site art ghosting me), I'm giving the proposed sci-fi work a bit more time in the oven. It should follow Claw.
