In germany call 116117, tell them you want a consultation with a psychiatrist. Tell said psychiatrist what you think you have, eventually you’ll get tested and the procedure continues. Took me about 5-6 Months due to scheduling, but eventually it works.

That’s why I say do what you can, but if you spiral you’re not gonna help anyone anyway.

When people say “touch grass” it usually means that the internet shouldn’t influence your mental health. Unless any of the states decisions directly impact you, you can think about what you can do to influence it, but if you find yourself spiraling about it, its time to log off. Maybe start knitting idk

That’s like a 32m x 32m field, not as big as I was expecting. But yes, larger fields are more efficient. I wonder if there is some reasonable setup for farming grains with aquaponics. (Rice doesn’t count XD)

Am I blind, or is number 4 missing?

I think this basically just tests how heavy chromosomes/DNA-strands are. By that you can see how long they are. The many lines on the side are the reference-ladder.

The clear lines in the second pic indicate a very clean sample of similar length DNA, while the smears in the first indicate some form of contamination.

NOOOOOOOO

Please no, don’t subsidize anything Java-Script. It will only make it less efficient.

Nah it’s more like: If she didn’t want people to jerk off thinking about her, she shouldn’t have worn such provocative clothing.

I honestly don’t think we should encourage uploading this many photos as private people, but that’s something else.

You don’t need consent to jerk off to someone’s photos. You do need consent to tell them about it. Creating images is a bit riskier, but if you make sure no one ever sees them, there is no actual harm done.

Interesting (wrong) assumption there buddy.

But why would I care how people think of me? If it influences their actions, we gonna start to have problems, tho.

Oh no, hanging the pictures on your wall is fucked.

The difference is if someone else can reasonably find out. If I tell someone that I think about them/someone else while masturbating, that is sexual harassment. If I have pictures on my wall and guests could see them, that’s sexual harassment.

If I just have an encrypted folder, not a problem.

It’s like the difference between thinking someone is ugly and saying it.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this?

Photoshop has existed for some time now, so creating fake nudes just became easier.

Also why would you care if someone jerks off to a photo you uploaded, regardless of potential nude edits. They can also just imagine you naked.

If you don’t want people to jerk off to your photos, don’t upload any. It happens with and without these apps.

But Instagram selling apps for it is kinda fucked, since it’s very anti-porn, but then sells apps for it (to children).

Interesting.

So it basically enables some more compiler magic. As an embedded guy I’ll stay away from it, since I like my code being translated a bit more directly, but maybe I’ll look into the generated code and see if I can apply some of the ideas for optimizations in the future.

I never looked into this, so I have some questions.

Isn’t the overhead of a new function every time going to slow it down? Like I know that LLVM has special instructions for Haskell-functions to reduce overhead, but there is still more overhead than with a branch, right? And if you don’t use Haskell, the overhead is pretty extensive, pushing all registers on the stack, calling new function, push buffer-overflow protection and eventual return and pop everything again. Plus all the other stuff (kinda language dependent).

I don’t understand what advantage is here, except for stuff where recursive makes sense due to being more dynamic.

I don’t think there is a moral reason against direct democracy. You just need enough people to get on board with the idea. But in america the Republicans would loose a lot of power, so they won’t vote for it.

Elected officials are relatively reliable. Maybe not for needs, but for wants. Biden for example made increasing demands of Israel, as popular opinion (of his voterbase) shifted. Sadly nobody cares about smaller issues, so there isn’t really pressure to change e.g. right to repair. Maybe on local level smaller stuff can change.

Politics is so contentious, because the algorithms feed us different realities. If I was reading conservative news 24/7 I might also start thinking that climate change doesn’t exist, the gays are coming for my children etc.

There is similar stuff on the left, just not as widespread. Democratic voters are on average moderate CNN-watching boomers.

No idea how to fix this. Similar issues are starting here in Germany, but a bit less. I think the “Tagesschau” and similar news are probably a big reason Germany is relatively moderate compared to others.

OK, that’s some US issues.

But if enough people want something, it’ll happen. It’s just that 50% of the US hates the other 50% and vice versa.

Abortion has long been a contentious issue and will probably be a big part of the election. Republicans are currently shooting themselves in the foot with that.

Idk, what to tell you m8, but your idea of what’s happening in the middle east seems way off.

Among Jewish interviewees, 88% give a positive assessment of the performance of IDF forces in the war until now.

The majority of Israelis want the war.

Yes, because the democratic nations have democratically decided, that we want to consume more than is wise, that we want to retaliate for Oct 7 and that private property is cool, even if a few have more.

I agree, that mob-rule would remove billionaires, but how would it stop climate change, if there are no regulations against emissions?

Palestinians idk. In nationless anarchy it would not be a structured military, but let’s not pretend there wouldn’t be massive amounts of bloodshed.

You mean the process, that is democratically decided by elections with a bunch of checks and balances in the process?

So basically mob-justice.

Because witch hunts have never gone wrong and were always justified.

“This man loves other men, that’s weird, let’s kill him.” - apparently no one ever
