we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

This idea was probably funnier in my head

absolutely killing it in the idgaf war by being so bad at picking up on social cues that i don't usually notice let alone care when people are trying to get a reaction out of me

people saying they feel bad about reporting the new pornbots because the URLs are so good. i dont. i want to report them even harder. the URL pointless-soap needs to be liberated and reappropriated by the people

GUESS WHO'S FREE MOTHERFUCKERS

So many people talking about wanting to see Daniel tear into Louis next season but I want the opposite. Louis was too nice. I wanna see Daniel make one of them smart ass remarks about Lestat's abuse of Louis and Louis liken him to a YouTube commenter and ask if his closeted white ass has anything of value to interrogate regarding the relationship between two men outside of the obvious that Lestat is white and Louis is black

The longer I live the more I realize I just wanna be well fed and bottom nude all the time

Ok and???? Was he or was he not our Cunt King

This is my new favorite compliment

tbh i don't really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they're all connected it's the same ocean

no metaphor here just pure confusion...is there a line where one ocean stops and another begins? or is it like a smooth gradient of percentages of one ocean shading into another ocean?

Yes, there is a line. There are confluences you can see and touch and they are NOT subtle in the slightest.

That's the Atlantic and the Caribbean on a particularly pronounced day.

This is the Indian and the Pacific. It's not always this obvious everywhere but the dividing lines are very much there.

Oceans have their own properties as far as temperature and salinity and unless something like a storm or a current forces them to mix they won't. Mostly this applies to vertical mixing and it gives you things like thermoclines and haloclines but water is wierd and won't mix horizontally either.

The ocean basins tend to have their own currents that go in a circle and define that ocean, and those patterns mix the water within that ocean. Like a washing machine.

The Caribbean has a little loop of its own that not on this map, but that current keeps that ocean pretty internally consistent. It's got clear warm water because of the shallow bowl of limestone sand it sits in. Where it meets the Atlantic with wildly different conditions the water is traveling in opposite directions, and it acts kind of like an oncoming lane of highway traffic. Species that have adapted to a narrow band of temperatures and salinities (most fish) can't cross, while species with a stronger homeostasis hang out there on purpose, (marine mammals, turtles, sharks). Plankton, that cannot control their horizontal movement in the water column, are held in their home territories by these barriers.

This is cool as fuck

I love learning

Love to Guam!

i love when a character has something terrible happen to them and as a result they see themself as, essentially if not literally, a ghost. and so that means they only can (and have to) do what ghosts do, ie get revenge and then cease to exist. easy as that. but then halfway through this ghost vengeance they realize hey actually i might still be a human person. with human needs. that’s incredibly inconvenient, considering how much i’ve invested in this whole ghost thing

Literally

has johnathon joestar always worn a thong or am i going nuts

he does, it got removed in the anime due to a misundertanding with his model sheet, making it look like there were parts of his hips

reblog to give somebody a fucking hug because we are all struggling to get through it. solidarity in this tough ass world.

um anyway. this pride month please keep the trans people trapped in transphobic locations in ur thoughts, esp as transphobic legislation gets worse in some places

If you live in a blue state, you should push for zoning reform so more apartments get built in cities and it will be more affordable for people to migrate to your state.
