STOP RIGHT THERULE (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

An Oblivion Imperial Watch guard in Lake Rumare with only his head above the water, and his mouth half in the water talking to you with the classic Oblivion NPC zoom-in and direct eye contact: Stop right there, sweet angel! Nobody talks bad about their self on my watch! I'm confiscating your bad vibes. Now love yourself or it's...

InquisitiveApathy ,

Jokes on you. I'm the Grey Fox and you'll never catch me!

InquisitiveApathy ,

I just want to say - I sincerely appreciate you! You're a nice person, internet stranger, and I hope you are having a good day.

I don't know, I tend to opt for a 1:2 ratio if I'm looking to make a strong-ish mixed drink(Any less and I feel like I should just drink the whisky neat honestly). With a normal 40% ABV liquor this ends up being about 13% total. If you do a more normal 1:3 ratio it's about 10%, so it's weak, but it's not that far off I guess.

Yeah I eyeball too, but when you start getting into the 50/50 range things get dangerous so I keep it below that 😂 Most people don't like straight liquor so that's fair if you don't like it neat. I'm a big whiskey and gin drinker so I'll just make a Martini or Manhattan when the mood strikes. If I want something more refreshing a Mule is always great too if I can find good ginger beer!

There's a difference between wanting to have good credit so that you can benefit from a garbage system and wanting that system to exist in the first place.

InquisitiveApathy ,

on a large scale doesn't this mostly protect people from dangerous debts?

Not really. It just ends up with lenders offering far more predatory interest rates, which worsens the situation for the debtor. The system is set up in such a way that you can spiral pretty hard with a single misstep.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this referenced ad post is over a year old. There's been "organic" guerilla marketing by advertisers on Reddit for almost a decade now. How is this relevant to the recent changes?

InquisitiveApathy ,

Ahhh I had a bit of a, didn't read the article, moment and that was the missing context for me. I appreciate you clarifying!

InquisitiveApathy ,

I've recently started wondering how many people are here because they're too toxic for regular social media rather than because they want to be here.

This has largely been my operating assumption as well since day one when I came over during the Reddit API lockdown. I was fairly active on a NSFW alt up until recently and I've actually seen dozens of comments from new users mentioning that the only reason they were here on Lemmy was because they were banned from Reddit and had no other viable options. They were always an asshole to the posters and the reality is that with a lower population of users is that there aren't enough other voices to drown out these people yet and you end up with a feedback loop of toxicity.

InquisitiveApathy ,

I'm going to disregard the original comment because a lot of factors are going into the impressiveness and everyone's body is different, but you can't really compare your flat bench progression with your deadweight lifts accurately to gauge progress. Either way, progress is progress and congrats on your gains friend!

InquisitiveApathy ,

I get it. I do standard deadlifts first thing on my back day because I don't like fatiguing my posterior chain on leg day, but it definitely causes grip problems by the end of my workout. Maybe it's just me, but you'll probably be lifting lower weights typically with an RDL which may be where the comments are coming from.

InquisitiveApathy ,

I am very surprised that there is only one legitimate reference to the original coining of these terms from the beginning of the French Revolution so far in this thread asking what these terms mean.

InquisitiveApathy ,

Given the context from the title, I interpreted it as referencing the wine brand, "Josh"

InquisitiveApathy ,

I always hate any viral math post for the simple reason that it gives me PTSD flashbacks to my Real Analysis classes.

The blog post is fine, but could definitely be condensed quite a bit across the board and still effectively make the same points would be my only critique.

At it core Mathematics is the language and practices used in order to communicate numbers to one another and it's always nice to have someone reasonably argue that any ambiguity of communication means that you're not communicating effectively.
